I've been putting so much pressure on myself these past few weeks. There's no real reason why I need to be at target for my birthday. The bigger picture is that I want to be at target for my trip to New York & Vegas in November. I've finally lost the weight I put on when me and AP spilt up so I'm back to a comfortable(ish) weight again.
Soooo I've decided to take the pressure off myself, it doesn't matter if I lose a lb here and there, and have the odd cheat now and then, so long as the weight is still coming off. I'm not going to torture myself by trying to stick to it 100% all week. I am going to do my best to stick to it, but if I do veer of track a little it's not the end of the world, so long as it doesn't become a habit.
I seemed to be coping better with the diet and weightlosses when I had all my social events going on. Since they've stopped and I've been SS+ing 100% I've been stressing out about my losses not being what they should be.
In the event that I STS or worst still put on weight one week, I will have to have a 100% SS week. I know this is not ideal, and I'll probably going to go back to SS or SS full time eventually, but for now, I'm easing off, I'm removing the pressure.
So here goes, I've had a cupcake today at work, and will probably have one every Friday as it's become a bit of a tradition with my friends that one of us bakes cupcakes for Fridays. If it starts to interfere with my losses, I'll rethink this but until then.....

Thanks Shanny. It just struck me at lunch time, I was sitting there watching all my friends tucking into the cupcakes I'd made, and I just thought 'what the hell am I doing?' I'm fine as I am, no I'm not yet a comfortable 14, but I'm not far off the same weight as I was for my birthday last year so I really don't know why I feel the need to put so much pressure on myself. I feel better for having made the decision and like I say, if I do start putting on or even just staying the same, then I WILL have to do something about it. I think by sticking to SS for as much of the week as I can, I can let myself have an inch if I need to. If I don't feel the need to then I'll be SSing until the need does arise if that makes a word of sense lol.

I'm okay thanks. Have no plans for today so I should be able to have a 100% SS day, there's no reason why not. I haven't taken the chicken out of the freezer so I can't have that, and I have nothing else in the house to eat so I'll be fine.
I've been out to Holland and Barrett to buy some psylium husks and digestive enzymes to try and get my bowels shifting a bit more efficiently. I've never had probs in that area before, and I seem to be okay again now, but my CDC recommended taking them anyway to prevent another bout of constipation. I'll try anything to boost my losses so I've spent a fortune. I even bought some Thermobol, but I've decided not to take them until I'm back at the gym, it seems a bit pointless. I'm just going to end up with tonnes of energy and no way of expending it.
I hope I'm not lead astray at work tomorrow. I hate working on a Sunday, it's aweful, everyone feels the same and someone always brings in treats to get us through the day. I hope I can be strong, I usually manage, but it depends on how pushy my colleagues are.

Hope I can have a 100% week on ss till Thursday atleast as were going away camping on Friday so thats when my problems will arise.
Hope today keeps going well. What hours you working tomorrow?

No gardening today, it's far too cold and windy. I'm 11-7 tomorrow, which is by far the worst shift of the week, but never mind. It's the only overtime I have this month so I shouldn't complain.
I'm going to try and have a 100% week, but will see how I get on. Not putting any pressure on myself. Good luck with your week.

Hi Surfhunny. I'm going to LA and Las Vegas at the end of June. Can't wait. I start the plan tomorrow and hope I can lose a couple of stone by then. Well done on your losses.

Well I'm pleased to report that Temptation Sunday has passed by without a Haribo or chocolatey treat in sight, It was so busy none of us managed to even get to the shop. And the Food Police (AKA my friends Kel and Lou) were on with me so there was no way I'd have been allowed to eat them even if there had been, so another 100% day for me, I'm so glad.
I've lost count of how much water I've had but I know it's more than enough. But I've got a headache coming on, I'm not sure if it's the diet or the fact that my house stinks of white spirit (no I haven't taken to drinking it lol). I decided yesterday it would be a good idea to stain the side tables in the living room. They had to be sanded and rubbed down with white spirit, so now the whole house stinks, but the tables look fab.
I've also started taking Enzyme Digestive from Holland and Barrett in an attempt to get my digestion back on track....I will try anything to boost my weightloss.

I want crisps aaaaarrrrghh!!! I don't know why because I can usually take or leave them but I really want a packet of crisps right now. I can't have any because I have none, I think it's because I want savoury!!!!
I really hope I have a decent loss on Wednesday other wise I might have to give in and have a bag. I don't know why I'm so fixated on them right now. Boo.
