Starting tomorrow! Scared and excited!

Pam....keep that post as you can just repaste it when you get there :D x x x
 
Hi everyone. I think I need a little help. For some reason I seem to have hit a bit if a low. I'm wondering if it could be the diet as I'm heading for my 8th week and that's got to affect your mood at some time??

I'm also trying to work out of it could be TOTM but my cycle is so random I just don't know.

Im also feeling very let down by a so called friend and that has really upset me.

It's really unlike me to be feeling like this but I can't seem to shake myself out of it. Sorry for the downbeat post.
 
I was the same yesterday... I was sobbing.... Really down.... i think it does get to you after a while but you have to keep an eye on why you are doing this...

Yesterday i felt better after my cry and i had a word with myself.... whats my other option???? Stay fat.... that is my only other option...I KNOW i cant do it eating... nothing has ever worked and i've been trying for at least 10 years!

Look how far you have come hun.... you don't have long to go....

What happened with your friend??? Are you ok!!!

I bet your due on hun.... this diet plays havoc with your hormones but its worth it!!! In a few days you'll be wondering why the hell you felt bad!! Lol...

Seriously though... are you ok sweet??? x
 
Thanks dee. Did you post you were down yest? I must of missed it. So sorry if I did. Hope you feel much better today.

The friend in question is someone inhale resides I need to cut out of my life as for 15 years now all she has done is make me feel bad about myself. There have been various things happen in my life where I've thought I needed her support (terrible car crash I had 8 years ago, miscarriage 5 years ago and sever post natal depression 2 years ago) and she has never even picked up the phone. Yesterday I contacted her about a surprise 40th I'm
Trying to organise for my husband and all the feelings from the past came back. Needless to say she's texted back in her usual blunt can't be arsed mannor. Now why did I put myself through that? She's not bothered??? Why am I???

So sorry to rant but I actually feel better for getting it all out. My life is so good now. I'm happy, healthy, really well in myself so why does this one person make me feel like this.

I know I can't break the diet just yet or I'll never get back on it but i was wondering I'd mentally it contributes to a low mood now and again.

As for TOTM you might be right, I kinda hope that's what it is as will explain part of this mood.
 
That should read the friend in question is someone I have decided to cut out of my life (mixture of bad typing and typeahead lol!!)

Thanks so much for letting me get this out of my system. I'm going to take the kids out this afternoon and forget about this morning as it simply isn't worth it.

Thanks so much Deezer. Xxx
 
You know i have a friend like that!!!

She's been my friend for such a long time and i was holding onto that!!! But she just can't be bothered....she never answers mesages/texts, alwyas lets people down... but i suddenly realised that keeping chasing her only hurt one person and that was me!!! SO i stopped.... I havent fallen out withe her and i answer on the rare occasion she gets in touch and i would be civil if i saw her but thats it!!!

I was sick of her making me sad!!!

Sounds like your at the same place with your friend.... try not to worry hun... its her problem not yours and certainly don't let her jolt you!!!

Hope your feeling better!!! Here any time!!!

Keep smiling hun!!!! Your nearly there!!!

Hello everyone. Had my first planned break from the diet today. A grilled chicken salad and a slice of birthday cake. Its my son's 4th birthday today and we took him out for lunch. I've been good for 50 days but decided to enjoy a lunch with him. So I've skipped my lunch time shake and I'll be back on later this evening. The salad was 115 cals and the cake I'd reckon about 300 cals. The carbs not so good. Prob about 40g total. So I fully expect to be out of ketosis but a little bit of me praying I've been lucky but I'll know soon enough.
I just wanted to be honest with you all. It's not a blip, I made the choice to have a lunch with my family and now I'm back 100% committed. I'm too close to my goal to stop now anyway.
 
I reckon you'll be back in ketosis before your evn out of it!!!

You'll be fine!!! Happy 100%-ing hun!!!

Bet the treat did you good!!! x
 
Do you know what i feel fine about it. I made a sensible choice (hard in mcdonalds but I managed!!!) could have done without the cake but not every day your wee boy is 4. In the past I'd have though what the hell I go for takeaway for dinner and maybe wine but nope, enjoyed what i had and that's enough for me. Changed days indeed!!
 
Well done pam :) for making a good choice...and sometimes a break is just what we need to refocus us. I had an unplanned one yesterday but it has KEPT me 100% today and nothing is going to shake me (excuse the punn) from being 100% till the end now. Even the xmas eve dinner I was going to have I'm not doing now. So for me personally it was the best choice I've made :) x x x Good Luck honey x x x
 
Well done truelame. Totally agree about the refocus thing. I dont feel like I'missing out on anything where as before I might have felt miserable then had a binge.

So glad you are feeling good again after the weekend. It was a particularly hard one for some reason.
 
For the first time since I started my diet I am absolutely dreading tomorrow's weigh in. I came off the diet for a meal on Tuesday and had a couple of drinks not too bad and and i totally fine with that. However slipped up on Thursday and had a bag of monster munch and a couple of refresher chews (of all the things to cheat with?????)

Anyway I've been bloody lucky as have kept in ketosis so not suffered with headaches or cravings although I did stalk up with pain killers. back on it 100% today. Loss wise I'm looking at 1lb off which is my lowest yet (unless a miracle happens though the night lol)

I've also struggled with my water this week due to a massive change in my routine. So all in all I think tomorrow will be a major kick up my backside to get me back 100% focused on this diet and getting the next 4 weeks out of the way.

I'll be back on tomorrow to report back!! Good luck to everyone else who has a weigh in tomorrow. Xx
 
ummmm monster munch lol best crisps in the world i reckon, fingers crossed for that miracle you want x

Well done for making the sensible choice hun, that to me just shows growth and change as you could have had something majorly unhealthy... Let's face it at a 4yr olds birthday you could have gone wild! So well done :) xx
 
Just for you pam ;) :asskick::asskick::asskick: there ya go :) something motivational to keep you drinking the magical water ~lol~

Good Luck with your WI as well honey x x x
