Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

[Surfhunny]

Hmm interesting!!!! I don't know what I want to be honest. I'm not craving anything in particular, I'm just hungry. I'd eat candle wax if it stopped me feeling hungry. If I'm still hungry at 8 I'm going to have a 4th shake, but hopefully it'll wear off by then!

Ew, candlewax?

Rightio, time for Beck's Anti-Craving Techniques then. Don't know if you've got to this page yet (and I can't remember what page it is, I just made some response cards for emergency purposes!)

2. Stand firm.
3. Don’t give yourself a choice.
4. Imagine the aftermath of giving in.
5. Remind yourself why you want to learn to withstand cravings.

I'm back. Stuffed to the rafters and back on it tomorrow. I can feel my tummy is full. Not nice. Up at 5 this am which was 6 in new money couldn't sleep. I think my body is used to running on empty and when I actually gets an overload of food it sends me into overdrive. My throat and ear is still bugging me so didnt go for a dog meets dog walking session with hubby and BIL as I didn't want to get cold in it. Slept on the way home and then got busy around the house.

 

[Surfhunny]

He he I've done all that, even read my Hunger Is Not An Emergency card. It'll pass I'm sure, it's just because I'm bored!

 

[great things]

exciting. we got a like/share button...... yeah! MEGA LIKE. boredom accounts for 75% of my eating the other 20% is emotional and the final 5% is a real i need it now urge usually stress related.

 

[great things]

p.s i would stop exercising if i was wanting weight of asap and still doing ss or 810! it has the same effect on me as it has on you, exercise that is .

 

[Surfhunny]

I filled in my census on line so that's me in the clear lol. It also passed some time. But because I was still hungry I had a K Spag Bol and I feel fine now, so I'm guessing it was genuine hunger not a craving.

I'm knocking exercise on the head for 3 weeks and I'm avoiding the scales again for another 2 weeks so I don't get rail roaded again. I'll use the dress as my guide and hopefully the weight will come off enough for it to fit properly.

I don't like the like button because 1, I can't find it and 2, I can't see my likes using the app am I being dim?

Nah, not dim. I just had a look at my app and you can't see it on there.

Thanks for the top tip - and I've been dying to ask if you do surf and if so at Saltburn? Just being nosy - in a past life (pre baby) I was a scuba diving addict but would have loved to learn to surf (maybe when I'm slimmer.........)

Doh, I never thought of being able to do it online - how stupid am I??

So I've just done mine too, thanks!

Yeah I used to surf at Saltburn, but I feel too fat now, look like a beached whale in my wetsuit, so it's been a good few years since I've been. It's a shame really because it's literally 2 minutes from my house never mind maybe one day I'll dig the old board back out! Diving is something I'd love to try. Went snorkelling in Egypt once, really wanted to dive but I was so ill there I couldn't have done it

Where are you from? Great Things is from Teesside too!

 

[Surfhunny]

Hmmm I use the app all the time and there's no way that I can see of finding out if anyone has 'liked' something. I have to keep logging onto the main site. Also there isn't a like button on the app I hope we get one because I never log onto the main site and use my phone to do literally EVERYTHING!!!

 

[great things]

The share button is on the app. Maybe the like is coming. I know on the main site you can see how many people liked which post of yours through the notifications. Can't find notifications on my iPhone though.

Morning Sal,

I hope you have a good day at work, and be careful of your leg. You and Nikki make me feel like a Luddite. At least I understand what you are talking about -- that is am improvement. (Click is a helpful show to watch!)

Morning all!! First off I have a question... How much water flavouring are we allowed per day? I've been having 2 tsps made up in 2 litres of water. I should be in ketosis by now and I'm not I was hungry last night and woke up hungry this morning I'm wondering if this has much to do with it? I've not really used water flavouring much in the past, but I'm struggling with boring plain water atm.

Today will be interesting! 6 hours at work, 1-7 with no break entitlement!! Twastards, I'm only there an hour and a half less than everyone else, and an hour of that is their lunch hour!!! Apparently you're entitled to a break after 6 hours, which is when I'll be going home. At least tomorrow I'll get a lunch break as they have me in 9-4, so they've taken lunch into account at least.

For today and Weds I'll have my breakfast just before I go out, then have to have a bar on the go (not ideal) then final product when I get home at 7:30. It's going to be a long day!!!!

 

[old_user45]

Hey Hun,

Here's to a good day for you, you'll be well on your way Into that dress in no time!!

As for the water flavours, I think it's one portion a day (as per the instructions on the pack, it's 1tsp I think?) but i'm sure ad extra tsp wouldn't be hiring ketosis that much? Have you tried the tesco flavoured mineral water? The apple and strawb flavours have no citric acid, and they're really nice!

)

 

[Surfhunny]

Thanks Hun. I usually have the Sainsuburys water that doesn't have citric acid in it, but ran out. I'll have to get some more, not that keen on the water flavoring but it's easier to drink than plain water.

How're you getting on anyway?

 

[old_user45]

Ooh, what flavours do sainsburys do? Might pop and get some on my way home.

I'm doing ok, still plodding along. Not been 100%, picking bits, but still slowly losing. It's all good. Am starting again as of this morning, being as 100% as possible, but without too much pressure!!

 

[Surfhunny]

Ah that's you me and Kim having a fresh start then yay! I started properly on Sat, picked last week and had an STS so I can't carry on doing that lol.

Sainsburys do lots they have a nice fizzy strawb and kiwi, then they also do peach, apple & blackberry, and Cranberry & raspberry still water too. The fizzy one is 3 for £1.10 my favourite.
