Re-assurance needed.....

[Deezer]

Deezer I wouldn't worry about it god how I admire that your blip was only beetroot and soup if that was me I would of eat the whole fridge and given up but instead you shared your story with us all! Keep going girl just look in the mirror, you feel this good now how are you going to feel when you are at goal??

A wise person said "All them nice things will be there when you get to goal" It's 6 weeks until Christmas and think of that lovely dress you can wear christmas day!!

I would not focus on the numbers on the scale when you think about it your body losses weight at different stages it doesnt know oh its a week so I need to lose. I went to bootcamp for months and never lost any weight but by god I could feel my body toning up and I just focused on that feeling instead of the scales.

I really hope you are happy in what ever you decide x

I'm feeling miles better thankfully!!! x

 

[Deezer]

Dee hun, I soooo feel for you coz I've just come out the other end of blip-mode! And it took me three flippin' weeks to see sense!! So it's done now, you can't undo it but please please please don't feel like a failure. You are anything but, girl!! Look how far you've come and what you've achieved. Just go back over all the positive posts you sent to others when they were feeling down about faltering. I know how much you helped me to get through round one! You've not "ruined" another day sweetie. Your body just went on auto-pilot for half an hour due to feeling poorly, but now your head is back in the driver's seat. Look back on all the pics you've taken and see how well on your way to that fab new body you are. YOU CAN DO IT, OH YES YOU CAN!!! Sending you positive vibes from across the sea! :vibes: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

*Accepts positive vibes*

[Deezer]

Dee, YOU CAN DO THIS!! I would bet you haven't even knocked yourself out of ketosis. Your not feeling well. Your body has maybe just needed a little something else to keep you going for the moment. Bet in days gone by the damage would have amounted to a hell of a lot more than a tin of soup. I personally don't think you have reached the end. I think your run down and tired and maybe needing a wee time out but I very much believe you can come back fighting and see this through. Please please please don't worry about this. Just go back to hour by hour and go with what you think you need to do to get through it. You are one of the strongest nicest most encouraging people I have ever been lucky enough to meet. So we are all here for you and no one is disappointed or thinks badly of you. Just keep the heed and stay calm. Loads of love and hugs. Xxxxx

Awww thank you hunni... your right!!! XXX

 

[Deezer]

You are in no way, shape or form a failure .. you are an inspiration, truly.

No journey in life is without hitches, especially a dieting journey ... you've come to far to give up now, especially over a tin of soup. Yes you ate the soup and feel guilty, but imagine how you'd feel if you give up and get months down the line and think what if or where you'd be at that point had you carried on.

You've lost nearly a quarter of your body weight, which is amazing so ...Don't let a moment of madness turn into a lifetime of regret .. xx

WOW!! Wise words!!! Thank you!!! x

 

[Deezer]

Dee you've been so helpful to me already and I'm only started, you'll get back on track. Take care xo

[Deezer]

hi dee , you have inspired so many of us , and you have come so far everyone of us here has a bad time at some stage . i would not have my first week over today only for you as i was really struggling the first few days , so chin up and rem every one has bad days , :wavey:

:bighug:

 

[Deezer]

Hi Dee

I'm quite new to LT but have dieted before on SW and when I broke that diet it was with a giant packet of kettle chips and a big bag of haribos (and a litre of diet coke of course)!

I would say that a tin of soup "is" diet food. I reckon you could lose as much weight just eating 3 tins of soup a day instead of shakes (except you would be unhealthy as LT is a precise formula). So you haven't done anything more than deny your body a few vits and minerals... so I wouldn't worry about it as a one off.

Take the diet out of it for a moment and think about what you just did. You needed some food and you went for soup.. not chips or chocolate but soup! I think that shows someone who cares about what they put into their body, who is committed to doing the diet and who has already changed their eating behaviour for good.

If you really feel ready for a break (and 15 weeks is more than I've ever managed on a diet) then do it and do it properly so you dont' undo all your hard work.... but keep in mind that we're into the (overly long in my opinion) Christmas countdown... and temptation will be everywhere and it will probably be much harder to resist off the diet than on it.

Plus you have so many friends on here I doubt they'd let you leave

Hope you feel better soon xxx

Hear hear.....you're goin' NOWHERE girlfriend!! *wags finger & wriggles shoulders ghetto-style*

[Deezer]

Dee....I had this realisation earlier and it was shocking ....were reverting back to old habits when poorly/run down ...were going to comfort food again. We know that LT is hard to stick with at the healthiest of times. You've been so strong so far honey and a complete rock to me

Yesterday when you weren't feeling so naffy you said to me...come on girlie we CAN get to XMAS on this diet ... and today I believe we CAN ....I'm thinking of perhaps having an extra shake today as I'm feeling off still....lets face it a shake isn't going to put any weight back on me. It will however keep me feeling fuller and give me that bit extra that I obviously need at the moment. As you've said yourself before tho Dee...you know when your happy with your weight and to start the next phase...unfortunately only you can answer if that phase is now ....or is it just feeling so poorly that has gotten you thinking like this? x x x Keep strong honey x x x

:bighug:

 

[Deezer]

Well Dee... it's true what they say... what goes around, comes around You have been sooo positive to those who have had difficult moments/days/fallen completely off the wagon... and here it is, all coming back at you (We should start a Deezer Fan Club I think haha) Seriously though, read through some of those posts you have shared that made a difference to people, and remember what you really want more than anything. One tin of soup does not make anyone a massive failure... you would be the first to say that to anyone else... so please be kind to yourself xx

Simply, it comes down to 2 choices... One: you give up because you 'think' you've failed in a massive way (not so!) or two: you realise that your need to reach your target is wayyyy bigger than your need to stop now after you have come this far I think you're possibly feeling discouraged because you had to adjust your Christmas goal but hey, whatever you reach by then on a 100% is one heck of a different and lighter Deezer to last Christmas xx Love and hugs to our friend :bighug:

Hi Deezer,
I know you may feel down, I've had a few moments where I've felt like eating something or giving in. It's only natural, I'm sure you'll come through and realise that it's not a disaster.

Slow down your thoughts, as your mind will be racing and considering all sorts of scenarios (should I stop, have I failed etc!) non of which is true.

Stay positive and take it slowly, not too much focus on long term goals that seem far away.

Also I sure that too much exercise will slow down weight loss definitely. Cut back by half and you'll see results quicker.
It happened to me.

Take care xx

Dee,

Hiya. Don't feel sad or anything like that. It was only soup. Uv been an inspiration to me as a new starter and uv posted so many wonderful and encouraging things on here to help many peeps.now hopefully it's r turn to help u (if we can!)
I feel like I can't carry on everyday but then when I see u and others who have done it for a while it gives me confidence that I can do it.

U CAN do it Hun.we r all rooting for u.

Xx

[Deezer]

Sorry if some of you disagree with this but yes, i think you do get to that stage. I sure did. Knowing i had a deadline because of holiday poss didn't help.
However Dee, is it that time or is it just a blip. Thats what you have got to work out.
Big hugs x x x

You shouldn't be overwhelmed as after all the help, support and inspiration you give to others i doubt people would do any less than give you it back

Glad you are brighter and sticking around as you will make mine and so many others journey an easier one!! x

Hi Dee - I think everyone on here has said everything there is to say. You are such an inspiration to us all and have achieved great things. It was a tin of soup that probably didn't have many more calories than one of the shakes. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start again tomorrow and see how it goes. We have all had times when we haven't been on form and in a few days it's over and we can get back on track. If your body is saying it's time to rest then go on refeed and take a break. You have still lost far more in 15 weeks than 15 months on a conventional diet. Celebrate what you have achieved so far. But I am sure you can get back on track. Good Luck - we are with you all the way.

Hi Deezer
I like many before me would not have made it through my first 2 weeks without your advice & encouragement so do check out your old posts. Remember you are not super human we all have blips so don't beat yourself up. Don't look back LOOK FORWARD!!!
YOU CAN DO IT!!
Debbie xx
