Sarah's new CD diary - 2 stone 2 lose!

Fab planning!!! Sounds good. Do you have any fitness planned?


I have started going to the gym again... I will be going to the gym in the mornings before work soon (at the moment I get the bus to work - but when Lee gets a new car I'm going to drive mine to work)

I also want to try the classes but I'm a bit embarrassed to go on my own.
 
I had a sneaky weigh at boots this morning (do not have a scales at home) and its showing that I'm up 3lbs!! There is no way this is possible - I'm going to ignore it and stick to weighing at my CDC's

I've had a little bit of chicken and salad leaves for lunch - I will take this out of my SS+ meal allowance and have less chicken and just the 10g of veg - I've got a really bad headache today so thought the meal might help.
However thinking about it - the SS+ meal could quite easily be split into two meals throughout the day....

Don't weigh on scales you've not used before, this week is the first time I haven't weighed myself! So much better as I get disheartened if I don't loose and then I eat!
I'm ss+ today, I can't wait to eat my meal tonight xxx :)

I know - just want to kick myself - I'm really craving chocolate.... considering I only have chocolate tetras and cranberry bars that would be enough to give me a chocolate fix!!!!

Feel so stressed out all the time - I just cant seem to stick to the diet :(

Don't be so hard on yourself.. I started last Thursday and I ended up caving in and having Sunday off, last night & now this evening too! No one could possibly be as weak as I am... So I'm starting a fresh tomorrow, got all the products ready for a new week & crossing a big fat red line through this past week.

I crave chocolate a lot too, I'm a proper sweet tooth so I really do have sympathy for you cause I know how hard it is! But it was your choice to start CD, and the way I saw it was I could either give up and admit defeat & eat what I want and gain more weight - or follow MY choice of being on CD and get on with it and lose weight.. Don't tell yourself you can't have things, I find if I know I can't have something then I end up really wanting it! You can have what you want, you don't have to be on CD.. But you WANT to be. Just remember that next time you feel weak! Tell yourself you can have it if you want, but you wanted to lose weight more! xx

God. I think we all feel like this to closer to goal we get the harder is is to SS! Maybe this is why they recommend SS for bmi 25 plus a stone. I actually think the less fat reserves you have the more your body goes on strike! That can make your crave all sorts of strange things!
 
Thanks for your comments guys - your all right.. In not weighing until Sunday so I can be good until then and still hopefully lose - I really don't want to STS again this week.

Scales a dangerous, if they don't say what you want, it's easy to go off the rails x x

I know scales are evil!!

So I have the news back on my car - its gonna cost £700 to fix privately - so I'm gonna go through my Insurence and just pay excess.

So I'm going to struggle with the cost of CD - I'm going to have a shake and a bar and 200kcal meal for the next week.

Lee got some asda meal replacement shakes today for himself - he's going to have 2 shakes and the same meal as me.. Bless him he thinks he needs to lose weight (I don't think he does)

Aww that's really cute for some reason haha!

Damn £700 is a lot!! Is your excess expensive? I suppose it's what insurance is there for though!

I also agree with what everyone has said. Ignore the Boots scales and just weight on CDC ones. I know we all say we shouldn't weigh in unless it's our official day but it's so hard not to! I keep hopping on the scales every night...
 
So much of what you have said is in my head!! I sometimes feel like such a waste of space when I give in!!! Your brave for sharing!! You can do it!!! When I crave something like a wisper (which is my most fav thing on earth haha) I think of how much nicer it will taste when I'm at goal and it's a special treat!! That really helps me :) gd luck x

Start 12.4 Current 11.75 Goal 9.9. Good Luck Everyone :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
 
Thanks everyone!

I'm only cheating my self when I cave in... Im starting the new plan today of 1 bar, 1 shake and a meal (fish and veg)

I do think the scales played on my mind and I thought what's the point! I'm going to drink lots of water today to try and compensate....

I think it's day 35 now - starting to lose track - I need to get my head back into it! Can't believe how easy it was for the first 3 weeks - its been down hill since then - I wish I could turn back the clock and never went out for a meal on week 3 cos that started me off,
 
New day, new start of your 100%!!! The scales mess with your head for sure. The near miss (for your nodule harm$ probably caused areas hormones to release (and getting a repair bill do big) do that could have led to a weight bump - which relaxing, drinking your water, following your plan, doing your fitness will sort.

Good on you for planning fitness. You might meet someone in a fitness class. Try ones that interest you. Years ago I went to the gym alone and became good friends with a woman I met there. She was always on this one treadmill running (no one wanted to be next to get because she was so fast and fit). Anyway, one day she gave me some advice (she'd lost 80 pounds through fitness) and we ended up planning to meet to workout, go roller blading, etc. she was like my post pregnancy personal trainer. I got that baby weight off fast!!!
 
Sarah, keep strong today. You can do this. You've hit the nail on the head, cheating is only hurting you and no one else. Is your CDC giving you helpful advice? If not keep asking for her help!!
You have a plan with goals so print it out and put it on the fridge, back of kitchen door , wardrobe etc. it does help keep you focussed!
You have been doing well so keep at it!!
 
Today has been a complete write off - worse than any other day so far!!!

I have completely binged today, there has been biscuits and sweets in the office and I have grazed all day.

I have text my CDC and told her that I've been rubbish and that I just want to get my WI out of the way so I can have a fresh start - so I've moved it to tomorrow morning instead of Sunday and I need to back to SS... I am going to have a 100% SS week....

Tonight I am going to have my SS+ meal and then move back to SS tomorrow.

I really don't know whats been wrong with me this week - that's why I've brought my weigh-in forward cos I don't want tomorrow to be another excuse to go off the rails.

I'm so down about it all - I could cry...

I actually feel sick I've ate so much :(

Don't be too hard on yourself, everyone has weak moments - we're only human!

I started a fresh on CD today, after having a shitty attempt at a first week and binging on 3 out of the 7 days! Maybe like me you just need to get this naughty week behind you and start a complete new and a new week..

I'm sure you can do it! Good luck x
