Smelly Elle's fantastic diary: Weight Loss? What Weight Loss?

Ok, i've decided ive just got to let it pass. And try getting back on the eating better bus tomorrow. Do my exercises tonight, play some tennis on the wii...keep busy. at least if im going to eat them i have to be active. will i ever reach the promised land? will i ever get to 11 stone something, lol?? x
 
Good luck with the weigh in Elle. Afraid mine won't be up to much tomorrow - a bit of an oopsie I reckon x
 
Aw Elle, I often think that too, that I will never reach the promised land! I'm sure we will some day
 
Good morning all,

Oh dear gloom and despondency, of course you'll get there, you just have to get your priorities sorted. Miserable weather here today isn't it elle. sort of dank and miserable.
 
elle. i'm in exactly the same position. i'm panicking at the weight i'm gaining but don't seem to be able to stop myself!! today is the day!! i refuse to get bigger and bigger and undo everything i've done. i know i have to eat to take my painkillers but surely that doesn't mean that i have to get fatter!!

maybe up your exercise to combat your munchies through the next few days? or avoid chocolate at all costs. unfortunately i got given loads of the blasted stuff for my birthday. almost all gone now though :D

There's your answer Abz - you've munched out on the choccies and now you can get back to normal and start losing again - no probs x

Elle - Not one of us is perfect so why should you be? You're allowed a lapse or two (or three even) but don't let it get you down. It's all part of this humungous journey we're all on x
 
Elle, take each day as new (well doh!) and go from there, take each moment as it comes too...it is not the end just because your body/mind is craving and actually feeding on things you have cut down on previously...I'm just wondering if having a 'cheat' day might help this from happening in such a big way. It does for me. Sundays I have my junk food day. I don't pig out or go crazy and all out binge, I just eat what I want (moderation and normal portion sizes of the junk) and like and if that happens to be biccies, coke and cake and icecream and some takeway, then I am allowed. Come the rest of the week I eat clean. I haven't had a massive binge in ages and the last time I did overdo the carbs was last night, but I am not beating myself up about it, as I am at a particularly low ebb energy wise and it might have helped...during totm your body needs a little extra carbs, fact...more energy required to do what it is doing and replenish other things, etc (we don't want the gorey details I'm sure)...so have your cheat day on a day that falls either before and just after, or during, as long as it is ONE day per week you allow yourself the extra carbs or just extra calories (food not normally consumed that you miss during your diet phase), then I am pretty sure it might help in the long run. I might be wrong though, not everything works for everyone...
 
hey guys, thanks for all this! Me too Abz, today im avoiding the choc. Ellie, I reckon you're right about the energy thing cos i've been shattered recently hence probably the overeating of bread thing. i'm just too petrified to get on the scales though :S

had 1.5ls of water so far today though so that's good. :)

Jim, looks like we've got snow on the way sunday night..
 
Hi sweetheart, yes it does, we'll see. Didn't last long last time did it hun.
 
Hey you Brummies - you had the snow last time, you can't have it again!!!!!!! It's SO unfair.....

Daisy i'm so jealous! You lucky thing. I realised only AFTER I'd finished everything that I was interested in that kind of thing. Well, i mean, I did stuff at high school - i wrote and 'produced' the pantomime.

Oh no that's so annoying, and to be honest I'm quite apprahensive that that is what I'm going to do. I think I want to follow this path but it feels like not going to university now will shut so many doors as I will end up without a degree in a VERY competative situation. Hearing from somebody who was in a similar situation is really helpful though so thanks:)

And then when I told my mum I wanted to do something around that at uni she went a bit mental, so i ended up doing law.There's nothing I regret in my life more. And now I'm trying to summon up the courage to ask an amateur dramatics company in the local area if I can go and help them. I feel like they'll just say no immediately because I'm not experienced or it's something i've only just started getting into. (well, re-getting into..)

I think that sounds like a really positive idea and I'm sure that if oyu offer to help, considering you have got a little bit of experience, they won't say no! Also maybe you could volunteer to help with any youth theatre productions and learn on the way lol?

:gen125::gen125::gen125::gen125:Brrrrrr you must be frozen!!
 
Sorry you're frozen Abz but we can have the snow down south - you don't need it, you've had it already x
 
It's pretty mild here in Bristol today, had light rain overnight, much milder than yesterday, now that was brrrrrr thought it might snow even...
 
Hi there. I'm not far from Bristol and IT'S FREEZING !!!
 
Abz, do you have a reset button? We have an automatic pilot and paid £60 just for someone to come in and push the button on the bottom of the unit!
