Pretty little blue Pill!!!- the fight to the end!!!!!

[Kes]

i would be a lot better if i didnt have to deal with food for the kids
but, im going to be strong, and so far so good (yes its only 9:30am!!!)

i would like to lose in the next 7 weeks (my dress fitting is on the 16th November) another 15-20lbs... my goal for the dress fitting is to be 155lbs..(which is 15lbs away) so im not complaining... i know i can do it... and its only just over 2lbs average a week. and if i stick to the cd then i will be able to do that and prob more.....
i just want to start seeing inches lost now..... so im focusing on that....
2.5-3.5 inches off my bum, and i would love another inch of my waist, and chest.. but thats not essential...

we will see what happens...

i know what you mean about keeping busy...
i never tend to have my lunch before 2pm anyway, only because if i can ride it out in the morning longer, then there isnt as big of a gap between lunch and dinner, as i dont get home until gone 7:30pm most nights... so dinner isnt until 8pm..

i can do this!

[Kes]

right!!!
ive had a good talking to! (by myself) and im not going to get anywhere unless i stick to it. and there isnt much point buying all the cd stuff and not lose weight because im obsessed with snacking on what i make the kids!
so
ive made a promise to myself. and i promise to my hubby that i will. not snack on the kids food (unless its to taste its ok and thats it) but im going to try and make the kids things i know dont need tasting because ive made them 1000000 times over! so here it is. my new journey starts now. i will do it and i will sucseed!!!!

Morning hun!

You can do it! Everyone knows it! I know its soo hard to not snack on the kids yummy food! I saw on a program once if theres something you want to eat really bad but know you shouldnt, you should imagine its a food you really dont like. It does work! Or you can try visualising your self in you gawjus dress and ask your self do you want the dress or the snack? Its tough but I know you can do it!

i went all through those. and even tried the it will be there next year.. and i can have it then... but it didnt work. but i dont think i was fully prepared for the whole total food replacemt its hard going from slim fast to cd... it is tough!

 

[kae]

I can imagine! I found Sf really hard! You must feel like youve not had a proper meal in ages! hehe

I think the subconscious eating the worst! You know the picking a chip or a sweet up and eating it then later you think noooooo!

Sometimes I think about trying a VLCD, but then I reaslise just how hungry I get when I have to skip a meal, and how much food is tied up with so many areas of my life (work, socialising, relaxing)...and I know that I just couldn't do it.
I think you're doing brilliantly Kes, your weight loss for September has been brilliant and I know you're determined enough to do just as well, if not better in October.
I can see your reasons for wanting to really knuckle down and stick to it though, even if it's just for financial reasons - It's not the same, but I feel the same way about my food shopping actually. I do my food shopping online, which costs £3.50 to be delivered, so I refuse to go to the shops in-between to pick up random other bits and bobs that I fancy, because it defeats the object of paying for my shopping to be delivered.
Having said that, we're all human, and it must be so hard to prepare food for the kids without eating any yourself!
Good luck with it Kes - we're all behind you! x

 

[Kes]

thank you alex....

i know what you mean about the shopping, i used to do it online, and it cost us a fiver....
now i have nothing to do with the shopping, as i dont do it... (until i eat again... thats just too much tourture i cant handle)

ive made it through the shep pie that the kids are having for lunch
and ive even cooked pasta and sauce for thier lunch tomorrow (as i dont work in the morning to get it ready, i have some ready just to whip in the microwave when we get in from picking them up from nursery and school.
so ive got through that...
im just taking every meal time at a time. and im doing well! lol
(so far..) but i know i can do it. and if i was at home i would be fine. so i just need to think about it, and get on with it!!!

 

[kae]

Well done for resisting hunny!

xxxxxxxxxx

 

[jayne3110]

Just wanted to say you look fantastic in your photo.Like a different person,well done
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Kes]

thank you, thats really nice..


well today has been super good so far. and i resisted the kids pasta (the stuff i resisted yesterday while making it) and i am really chuffed with myself about it...
trying not to drink too much coffee today... i think i might go and get some decaf on the weekend.... cos surely the amount im drinking isnt good for me... but i like hot drinks, and it kinda makes me feel full if my stomach is going for one!!!!!

i have no idea what im giving the kids for tea.. not even looked at that... but we are making Peaches and cream muffins... so hopefully that will go ok, and i wont be sitting there eating the mix like i normally do....
so this afternoon is going to be a tough one, but i have every confidence that i will get through it fine!
wish me luck!

 

[downsizeme]

Good luck Kes - you've got so far already you can definatley go futher!

 

[bunny_hops]

you can do this Kes, just think about where you want to be,and how amazing youre going to look in your dress...focus on that and you'll get through

i know what you mean about hot drinks. i love my cups of tea,i used to drink soooo much tea,even more when i visit my mums at the weekend..but the last 3 weeks ive had 1 cup of tea a day as ive been drinking so much water...i dont miss my cups of tea as such but, canderel doesnt taste as nice as proper sugar in my tea and now the weather is changing,i think im going to cut the water down a bit and have extra cups of tea cos i cant do without tea in cold weather

 

[Kes]

what i did (cant do it at the moment but fully intend to next year)
is put hot water (boiling) into a small amount of no added sugar squash, like the berry ones, and they were fab!! nice and wintery!

 

[Kes]

Well I got through the muffins pretty good. I added extra bits so just had a small finger dip to taste it was ok.
they looked really nice so it was a big achievement for me not to eat one.
brought one home for my hubby and he said it was lovely.
might put the recipe up on my thread, although high.in sugar and its got butter in it. be nice to have for when people have reached their goal. peaches and cream cupcakes. but they don't have any cream in them.

had porridge for dinner. was lovely. could really live off that.... lol.
bring on today. need to make sure that I drink enough as I forget to on the weekends.

hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.

 

[Alex_1978]

Wow Kes, that must've taken some willpower! It sounds like you're back in the zone now! Can't wait to hear how you do on the scales this week.

I always forget to drink water at the weekends too...at work I've got a litre bottle that I fill up, so maybe I need to do the same at home and carry it around with me!
Have a great weekend!

[Kes]

yeah will power is there most of the time....

Re drinking... I'm the same, I live in the kitchen at work, as that's where the kids play etc.. so I'm always drinking.

 

[Kes]

well the weekend has been good, and ive had plenty of water!!!
lol peeing every 10 mins though which is not as fun as it used to be... wish i had a loo down stairs, but im thinking that the extra exercise will do me good.

i was supposed to go and help some friends move with hubby today, but ive not felt up to it today, so i have pottered around the house instead... got rid of some old clothes (well added them to the charity pile) and sorted my draws out a little more...
i didnt ever realise how many clothes i have... and that i dont really wear!! but ive gone through some.

i tried logging into my self assesment tax return and my memory has gone to pot and cant remember my password.. sooooo i now have been kicked out of it for a few hours.. booo (didnt want to do it anyway! LOL)

im loving having the porridge for dinner. as it fills me up, making my feel full anyway... so im thinking that i might have that for dinner rather than breakfast, and then have a shake in the morning...
we will see.. (might end up having the porridge for breakfast and dinner at this rate)
why do i like them when everyone else hates them.. whats wrong with me! lol...

i am hoping for a good loss this week.. i really need it as ive tried really hard the last few days to be good, so im hoping for a positive outcome to that. if i dont then i will prob get very cross and upset with myself... but lets hope that doesnt happen!

 

[KittyBling]

Good luck for weigh in, sounds like you're really in the right place at the moment. Porridge :yuk: for me so good luck with that!

[Kes]

i like porridge... and i pretty much like the rest of the packs to which has been handy...
although i feel positive most of the time. i pretty much had a melt down this afternoon...

good old winge to the hubby... but i can do it.. i can last.. and i can get into the dress... and i can make sure that i love every moment of the holiday and the rest of my life as a Healthy person!
