Rosebug's Diary [back on the chain gang~]

Thx Rose,
Just gest fustrating when you follow things pretty much to the letter and nothing happens.
Well just keep plodding onwards and downwards. Think I will look back on your menus and see what youve been eating.
Keep it up.
 
Hola Rose, glad your Nan got through her op ok, hope she is on the mend now, it is really hard isn't it :( Well done on the 2lbs - you are doing well especially just to stay legal with all the worries. :hug99: xxx
 
Trust me being legal has been hard. The prawns I have had this week? Cost £12. I bought them when nana was in surgery because it was basically the only way of staying legal - my brain was demanding a 'treat'. I don't even like prawns to a tremendous degree but I think the fact that they were more than I'd ever spend on myself normally did the trick.

Julz - I've done Atkins 'casually' a few times and seriously twice and for me personally if I go out of ketosis during a week I know for near sure that I won't lose anything that week. It's so frustrating because little slips are understandable especially on bad days and feel like they -shouldn't- matter too much, especially when you've worked really hard every other day. That's why I refuse to let myself cheat now even when all I want is chocolate or pizza or something bad to comfort me - I'm a huge emotional eater - because when I weigh it up, to me it's rarely worth having one high carb thing and knowing I've wasted a week when I've tried so hard. I have a planned couple of days off in April and I can have what I like then, but not before. I'm sure when you manage to get a couple of solid weeks in ketosis you'll start losing well, because the menus you post look fine to me. Maybe buy some ketostix so you can check? Also measure yourself maybe, you might have lost some inches your body hasn't managed to convert into pounds yet.
 
Morning rose, I'm pleased to hear about your Nan love
 
Afternoon Rosebug,

How are you today? Glad to hear your Nan's op went ok. How is the higher fat to protein ratio going? Thank you for being a font of knowledge and support even with your own stresses. As a fellow emotional eater, I too have to do the CBT thinking and ascertain when it is worth it...this approach usually works but when TOTM creeps in yikes....no logical is left.

Thanks all. Surviving the op is a huge relief but really only the beginning. We're right back to the start if a long worrying recovery period we only just felt we were getting to the end of (she's been in hospital since November). Dad is absolutely ragged with it all, I'm as worried for him as for her and was just desperate for him to get a break but, not to be. My own head is still all over the place with it, too.

On the train between classes now, it's hailing and I'm freezing cold. I'm just desperate for it to be Warmish again.

Rachie - approaching my TOTM I think. Last month I had a huge polyol binge and stalled myself badly. Never again. At least I know what to watch out for now.
 
Glad your nan came through the op okay and hopefully she will be on the mend now.

Well done on the loss as well but I know what you mean. I dont mind the way I look at the minute but I know I still have a really long way to go. And when you consider Ive lost a whole 1.3lbs this month it feels as though its going to take me a long time to get there. Just keep plodding away though coz every loss adds up. Ive been so close to the 12's for what feels like forever and I know it will happen sooner or later, just wish it was sooner.
 
Evening Rose,
Glad your nan came through the op ok, hope this lessens the stresses slightly for you.
Just want to thank you for your support and advice and you are so right in everything you say. The thing is I know what I have to do as most of us on this website do its just puting it into practice and staying focused.
Hat off to you for staying leagal through all whats going on with you and your family, me I would have said sod it by now.Well done.
We have about the same to loose so hopefully we can push each other onwards.
Right better write something on my page.
:)
 
Evening Rosebug. Glad the op for your nan went well but i know you still have lots to worry about so here's some more ((hugs)). Agree today feels like winter is back - makes it worse when you have to trog around on the train. Hope for the sunshine and some warmth soon. Look after yourself

Should have hopped on a train to bonnie scottieland, we had a lovely cloudless day and the temp did get of the minuses.:character00238:
 
Hahaha, tropical, Julz.

Thanks all for the support. Going to do my best to talk about it less from now on - one thing I have found out though is that my nana weighs 4 stone. I knew she was tiny and undernourished (she was refusing to eat pre-hospital) but wow.

Which makes my food today look insane.

FOOD TODAY

pancetta + bacon
0g

macademia nuts
3g

grilled salami and philly and avocado
5g

tuna pate
1g

tea
3g

TOTAL: 12g
 
Wow that is underweight. Just need to start feeding her up.
Dont you worry about having a good ole rant on here. Although its tiring moaning all the time isnt it, i seem to spend my life moaning. Lol
Have a good positive day today.

She's been on twice her normal food for 3 months now so goodness knows what she weighed before. We took her shopping every week but she just stashed most of it, it seems. My other grandma is the same height and weighs about 11 stone but she has been a lot bigger. She's also in hospital with breast cancer right now and I tell you what, I'd rather be a little bit bigger than underweight, grandma is so much stronger and healthier than nana, and she spent most of her life about 15 stone after having 6 kids.

Anyway, I did say I'd talk less about this didn't I. Oops.

Hope you're having a good day yourself.
 
Hope you have a good day Rosebug...and its the 1st March today, so makes spring seem that little nearer:) (((hugs))) to you.
 
Morning Rose, let's hope spring is just around the corner, we could do with some sun
 
So far sitting in the autoglass shop waiting for my car then seeing seraphine later and will do some calls as well.
 
You and Sera are meeting up Julz, that's nice love.
 
Yeh, getting nails done and having a chin wag.
