Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

[Surfhunny]

Ah yes, fair point lol, I've gone baggy not my jeans lol. Thank god for muscle memory and hopefully tomorrow I might have a better idea of when I can start my exercise again. First session with my new sports physio, nervous and excited!! I'm sick of the exercises my last physio gave me, hopefully my new one will change it up a bit.

there's just nothing on.... have watched BL US. glad lance is gone that beard was doing my 'ed in! lol not enough bob though! roll on next week. think i'll go to bed and read beck. i need to get to day 1. then i'll pop my hynoslim on.

was talking to a lady at the gym today who is quite slim. she was picking at a few things and i was picking at dude's crisps (a couple of baked). i asked her if she picked. she said she never picks, today she's been out all day and has only had porridge to eat so was hungry and her daughter was leaving all this food so she had a pick. she says that she tries not to ever think of food. the kids food always goes straight in the bin etc etc. so to be thin, we can't think about food and we can't eat cr*p ever. bl**dy hell.... what a life. is this true maintenance?

I hope not one of the girls at work (I went to Vegas with her) is slim, she never eats a proper meal, ever!! At work she has a packet of crisps (often 2) , a bar of chocolate and a can of full fat coke for lunch! All she eats at home is junk unless her boyfriend cooks for her. I have no idea how she can eat so much cr@p and still stay thin?? If I ate what she does, processed junk food, I'd be like a house end. The only exercise she gets is bedroom exercise lol. It's so unfair!!

When we were in Vegas she ate twice as much as me, when everyone took the escalators I ran up the stairs and she lost weight while I piled it on

In fact there are quite a lot of girls like that at work. The perils of working in a mostly female environment I guess.

My best friend Tracey has never had a weight problem, but she says she constantly watches what she eats, if she's had a bad food day she's extra good for the rest of the time. I watched her yesterday and she dumped Little Es leftovers straight in the bin then put stuff on top. I have no children and no excuses, left overs have to go straight in the bin for sure!!

some people are naturally thin and i think they just don't think about it at all. most people have to work at it. isn't that beck? i think i remember that passage from the last bit with the interview with 'megan?'

 

[Surfhunny]

Tracey is naturally thin, she makes me sick lol. Anyone would think the stork brought her FT and Little E. If I hadn't seen real live evidence of her being pregnant I'd be suspicious lol. I love her to bits - she's like a sister to me, kind of adopted into our family unofficially, but I'm jealous of her figure and her metabolism. My metabolism has run away from me and gone to live with someone else lol.

Evening Ladies! The slim fast choc chips bars have only got slightly more carbs than the CD ones and have yummy choc chips in them. I did the same Surf.

Scott is naturally slim (his whole family is) and he eats crap on top of crap sometimes. During the weeks he must eat 4000kcals daily?! But at the weekend he'll eat nothing all day saturday and then around 2pm sunday he'll get hungry but will wait until teatime. When I ask him if he's hungry during the saturday he just replies, No I haven't done anything to build an appetite up! When I ask him during the week what he wants for tea, his answer is always. Whatever!

Food is just a chore to him, it's something he needs to do, he doesn't get any pleasure from it. Where as with me, as soon as I've eaten one meal I'm planning for the next. All I think about it food!

THAT is the difference between a thin person and a fat person, it's all done to mentality. I guess the only hope for me is to do my best to retrain my brain and try my best to suppress my constant food thoughts!

 

[Surfhunny]

I'm constantly thinking about my next meal, I wish there was a way of switching that part of my brain off!!! Ive tried thinking of food as fuel and not for enjoyment, I figured that would be easy on CD but I still find myself looking forward to my next food event

I do think you're right, there's an inherent difference between the way thin people and fat people think. I've been looking at hypnotherapy sessions, there's a whole "folky/hippy/surfy" type community where I live and there are 2 well being, holistic centers in the next town. I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to go to a stranger I don't know.... I'll give it some thought!!

 

[Hambleton]

i remember that feeling. i once had hair right down my back to my bum.

thought i'd post something interesting. i had a dream the other night just like yours.

my dream....
i decided that it i'd go for a swim after gym in my gym gear. i jumped in and swam around then decided to get out. i thought that i'd get changed by the side of the pool. i got undressed and sat there for ages butt naked. the pool got really busy with men, women and children and i just sat there. no one said anything but i got the occasional look, enough to start making me feel very self conscious. i then decided to get dressed. when i was dressed i found that my gym gear had been put into the pool and had floated to the bottom. i had to ask someone to fish it out for me.

very strange. i must say.

you've tested in someones diary

when i'm busy i don't think about food at all. it's when i'm bored or very hungry i start wanting to eat but when i'm hungry i need food NOW not later and if it means preparing something that will be ready in 30 mins from when i'm actually hungry i start picking. i think this is why i really like the bagged salad and tubs of cottage cheese, plus the shakes and bars. they're there and ready within mins/secs. i pick at choc and crisps when i'm hungry too. hubby's a laugh he wants some nice food he calls it a rare treat..... it's not a rare treat he has it every day. he needs to loose weight too. probably about 3 stone. he has a very sedetary job and works hard. he comes home very tired everyday. i'm trying to encourage him to take the dog for a walk every evening and i'm also trying to get him back into his cycling telling him to go on a sunday. if he's behind with his work though he works weekends to catch up. problem with having your own business.

Hi Nikki,

My DH haad about 3 stone to lose, and when I started CD again I asked him to diet with me. I knew that CD wasn't for him, but I asked if he would do the South Beach diet (I am doing all the shopping and food prep, and meals can work for the kids, too). Anyway, he has lost over two stone to my one, and is chuffed.

He is now totally committed to getting to his goal weight, and wants to do the whole adding foods in, figuring out how many calories to maintain, etc. so that he can keep the weight off. People are starting to comment with admiration, and one of his co-workers (who really needs to lose weight for his health problems) has now started South Beach inspired by DH's success.

So, DH started dieting to humour me... but now is continuing for himself.

Yet another bad nights sleep for me, it's the wind again! Living on top of a cliff seemed like a great idea but not so great when you get howling wind from the sea battering the house all night So I'm nice and tired and grumpy today!! Of my diet stuff doesn't arrive I'll be even more grumpy!!

I'm going to do some Beck before I go to physio, I find if I leave a couple of days to do at a time it's better for me. I still look at my ARCs everyday though. That should keep me occupied for a while this morning.

 

[Surfhunny]

Well at least my K stuff has arrived!!! So I'm happy about that

 

[Surfhunny]

Okay I'm off to physio in a minute, I'm a little bit nervous, purely because it's a different physio I'm sure it'll be fine. Back later to update

 

[great things]

Looking forward to your physio update.

 

[Surfhunny]

I'm very impressed with my new physio!! when I arrived the assistant set me off doing the exercise plan Jo has had me doing, and I wondered what the point of switching therapists was if I was going to be told what to do by an assistant. Anyway Kathryn came over for a chat, she asked me to go through Jo's plan while she watched me. She's decided that I'd be fit for discharge if I wanted but will happily work with me until I'm back up to gym, running and zumba level.

So I'm back there on Tuesday morning, she's going to try me on the cross trainer, and if I'm okay on it I'm allowed back to the gym But not allowed to get carried away, I'm only allowed to do what I do at physio with a bit of core and arm work thrown in. And I'm only allowed to go once a week because physio will count as a 2nd time, I'm allowed to build up but not yet.

 

[old_user45]

Glad it went well matey, you'll be bouncing around back at Zumba in no time !

 

[Surfhunny]

I found out why it happened too. I was naughty lol. I'd had a tough zumba session, my calves were sore the next day but I ignored the warning signs and instead of resting I decided to do the PT game on the kinect!! Sore muscles the next day means there's little micro tears in the muscle which helps build them stronger. But because I didn't rest it out I tore the already weakened muscle So lesson learned, if it hurts rest it!!

OOooh smashing news Sal.. and no please dont get carried away at all. i bet you feel so much better about hearing this today.?
