Sunshine's Trip To Pre Baby Weight (start Thurs 13th oct, p 91)

[Sunshine Singer]

Hi laura. Totally on the back burner! So much on at the moment. Also looking at a new business but I'll look at it soon enough. How are you getting on? I didn't know raquel had gone to austrailia, thought it was you. God I lost track on here while I was away lol.

Hugs

 

[Sunshine Singer]

Put my skinnies on. They are looser than over Xmas but still a little tight. I wear them on purpose to remind me why I want to lose weight. If I'm in tracksuit bottoms I'm so comfy I forget I've put weight on. Know idea why I've shared that lol

 

[Laura Croft]

Ooh new business sounds potentially exciting. I'd love to work for myself. Now you've found my diary you'll get a rather long and not so thrilling update I'm going through one of those 'share everything' stages!

I think having an item of clothing to 'check' against is a good idea. I do it as well esp when I'm exercising a lot and know the scales won't exactly show what is going on.

 

[Sunshine Singer]

Doing a poll ony hair colour on facebook. Tell u the reasons why later but

should I stay brunette or go back to blonde?

 

[Laura Croft]

I really like you as a brunette. It's hard to tell from photos but your hair does look fairly dark. Perhaps a little lighter shade may be better or some highlights....

 

[curlywurly1234]

Hey hon
Just flying by to say hey........ and hope all ok..
You sound like a busy bee as usual............
I really like your hair dark hon but its night lighter as well.......
Hmmm Im not much help am I..
Just found out the nail place is open soooooooo I must dash as Im desperate xxxxxx

 

[Katycakes]

Can you post a pic of the fair hair to remind us? I love it dark but think from memory it was lovely fair as well... indecisive? Me?

[LizzMB]

like the brunette but not seen the blonde! lol

I am a brunette and have always wondered about trying a whole new colour but never that brave incase i look like a pleb! lol Plus i have really dark eyebrows and worry that i would look like a bimbo lol!

i havent tried my skinnies on yet, still loving the leggings and jumper look too much but even in that and only after 4 days, i feel slimmer so its worth the effort! Cant wait to get back into them though as i have some shoes i'm eyeing up that would look perfect! lol
Always good to have a goal in mind, even if it does cost even more money! lol

[Sunshine Singer]

I really need a plan. I feel like I'm two people either totally on cd or a million miles off cd! After a few days on i've now had 2 days off. I do well all day and then go very wrong at night. It makes no sence as I'm dying to lose the weight for my wedding dress and yet I'm doing really badly. I haven't found 'the' dress yet and I think when I do it will inspire me to get in shape.

Been stuck in most of the week with really bad snow here. 16 inches and now ice and more snow today. Think it's cause I'm fed up that I'm off plan. Arg!

Gotta stop this and only I can.

Hair- I'm gonna throw caramels and light browns through the dark to break it up. Having it done Monday week. Looking forward to that.

I am covered in an itchy rash which is awful so gotta sort that! Lol

why oh why can I not get my head into cd. It's driving me mad!

 

[Sunshine Singer]

I'm also dying to get back to the gym but with this snow i can't get there. I'm gonna have to go on s mega bride workout for a few months lol

 

[Sunshine Singer]

Just another thought ....... I feel quite sick when I've eaten a load of rubbish so why would I want it in the first place? I'm very tired of this constant battle with myself x

 

[Katycakes]

Have come a bit unstuck too Sunshine, but please don't be so hard on yourself... not easy at all to get back to 810 and SO not easy in this arctic weather. But you can do this... you've done it before and been such a cheerleader for us all. It's getting into that zone that is the tricky bit, but you can do it if you want to... or you can adjust up to 1000, as AlexM is doing, and still get fab results.

[Bess]

Oh Sunshine, we all have felt/feel the same, try not to feel too negative about it, this feeling will pass. I think these same ups and downs we all share are so frightening, but I think the trick is not to panic. Try to step back and then just plod on....well that's my current plan anyway.
Hugs to you. xxx

 

[Laura Croft]

Your hair colour plans sound fab. Look forward to seeing the photos (hint hint)

Just another thought ....... I feel quite sick when I've eaten a load of rubbish so why would I want it in the first place? I'm very tired of this constant battle with myself x

What's going through your mind before you eat? Try to slow down your thoughts to listen to that before you pick up the food. If your mind is anything like mine (apologies!) then it's only after I'd think of the consequences.

I think it's really hard to get back onto 810 when you've had a few months off, and no doubt a great trip. Is your BMI correct? If so, have you thought about trying 1200 for a while just to try and get a bit of structure back?

 

[Sunshine Singer]

Katy, Yep 1000 might have to be the option for me and look to losing the stone slower. But I need to fervour of eating crap! It's vile! Jacket potato's as pasta on 1000 seem tempting in this freezing weather. I'm just impatient. Thanks for your Advice. Means a lot. Off to think

 

[Sunshine Singer]

Thanks bess. It's just frustrating. When it goes wrong I feel like I'm failing. Which is so negitave and effects my mood. Xxx

 

[Sunshine Singer]

Hi laura, yeah i think I'll have to slow down my thought process beforehand. The decision to eat off plan takes place so fast it's mad. Thanks for that. Think I need to master 1000 first before 1200. I was told losses are slow on 1200 so if I'm gonna go up I think it would be to 1000. Why can't I just do this!

 

[Laura Croft]

I don't like 1000 as a plan as I just wrote on Alex's thread if it's not being used as a step up from VLCD so am going to shut up and hope the plan works for you

Oh I was going somewhere with the thoughts beforehand. If I think about what I am thinking before a binge, it's about I deserve the food, I've already screwed up so may as well continue, I want it or it's comfort etc. It's a decision that's becomes almost totally unconscience but there is a thought in there somewhere.

 

[Katycakes]

I think you'd lose pretty quick on 1000, truly - when I manage to stick to 1200 I can lose 2lbs a week. And it is a plan where you can eat a good range of stuff, and not feel too deprived, which is good. I am very, very drawn to trying 810 but cannot get to CDC (or she to me) for supplies, and think that may be a good thing really... it gives me a chance to get steady again, to get some stability after weeks of eating in just the way you describe. And yes, it makes you feel rubbish... but once you find a 'safe' zone, which 1200 can be for me, you feel SO much better. (Says she who is struggling to find that zone). And a part of me fears I could not do 810 again, or at least not for very long. I almost think our bodies are wise to it and try to scupper our best intentions. (OK, it's probably leptin, but you know what I mean.)

Hugs Sunshine. Whichever plan you choose, you will find your zone and achieve what you want to... believe it, because I certainly do.

Hon.......... You havent by any means failed thats for sure!... Its so cold out there at the moment and I know I feel like I need a bit more food than usual..
Try 1000, you can have fruit on it too which I think is great....
