Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

[MinnieMel]

I'm so bored this afternoon, I can't tell you the amount of times I've gone into the kitchen to pick at something only to find empty cupboards and fridge! I remember the first time I did cd being surprised by how often I used food as something to do.

I wish I didn't feel the need to pick on at food, it's my massive downfall.

Hi Sal,

I don't "like" that yu are feeling this way (or are bored), but I like that you can talk about it. I, too, use food for entertainment. And, snacking is a big weakness of mine.

I am trying to redirect my energies -- it is not as if I do not have million things to do. I just do not have the gumption.

Teagan my dog has just had a hip replacement, so has to be walked on the hour. Plus have to keep her as sterile as poss means lots of scrubbing and bleaching (the house, not her). Meaning I have a reason not to sit on my backside all day. And the motivation feeds itself, have cleaned the car out, done the rest of the house, the washing and started to build the shed I bought 6 months ago! I wish I was this motivated and pre occupied all the time.

I'm just watching the final of Australia's Biggest Loser, it's keeping me busy for now and keeping me a bit more motivated. I've got 52lbs to lose it's not great but it's not as bad as I thought, I'm literally taking it an hour at a time for now.

Tomorrow (weather permitting) I'm going to wash the car and cut the grass, that should keep me out of trouble.

Hi Kez,

Sorry to hear about your dog's surgery. I hope that she recovers quickly. I love your ticker.

Morning sal day 2 my lovely I never did try the new porridges. It's raining here heavily to.

Hey kez how's exante going x

 

[MinnieMel]

Morning Sal --

The keto fairy should arrive soon... and that should make things easier. Hang in there. How is your mum doing?

 

[Surfhunny]

Day 2 lm okay so far, but it's evenings that are generally my low point. My mum text me this morning to tell me shes in ketosis already which is hardly fair cos I'm not and probably won't be until tomorrow or Tuesday, even though I hardly ate carbs before. I'm avoiding the scales, I'm trying to just go by official WIs even though I hate getting weighed in the evening.

 

[MinnieMel]

Hi Sal,

Well your mum has less to lose, so maybe that means she has less gylcogen stored. That would make sense then (her being in ketosis sooner). I think you will be soon.

Nights are very hard for me, too.

I would not like getting weighed in the morning, but if it is the same time every week (followed by the same shakes, water, etc.) consumed -- it should be okay. I weighed at 7:30 p.m. when I was on LL in 2008 -- and other than the one week where I drank a litre of water just before the meeting, it was fine. That week -- the leader reweighed me (after I'd wee'd) at the end of the meeting (it was was 2 pounds difference! Water weighs a lot!)

Hang in there... you can do this!

 

[MinnieMel]

You are being "so good" I thought you deserved a treat:

 

[Surfhunny]

Yay thanks Mel, fuel for my little (B)obsession!

 

[Surfhunny]

Oh no I'm a bit behind on my water today, yesterday I had it nicely spaced out so no headaches or frequent bathroom trips, today I've only had 500mls so far and a headache brewing. I'd better get guzzling!! Bring on the Evian!!!

 

[MinnieMel]

(Th) Inspriation... I will go and drink a glass myself. (I tend to drink coffee all day long.)

hi surf! don't know what to say, just wanted to say hi!

bye surf!

like your ticker mel. inspired me to do one. i've guestimated my weight from what i think it'll be tomorrow. so depressing. i'm such a fat greedy pig! i have no control over my eating or my life. i think i could do with some hypnotherapy for this and for spending money.

 

[MinnieMel]

Ooooh, and gold is soooo valuable atm -- record high prices.

I made mine the holly and present -- as ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS TO BE AT GOAL AND MAINTAINING (I am shouting so Santa can hear me). I need to be a very good girl -- and I might just get my wish!

 

[great things]

i know what you mean mel. i don't know why i keep sabotaging myself when i try to do it on my own. all i can think of is that i'm frightened of failing so i just fail myself and then the fat greedy pig inside takes over and goes... booze and junk food. i look totally horrid in my gym gear and zumba gear. it's not a good site for my participants.

 

[MinnieMel]

((((((BIG HUGS))))))

We've done it before, we'll do it again!

 

[Surfhunny]

Nikki I'm the same, sabotaging myself when I do it on my own! I think it's partly because I'm scared of having to maintain, if I never make it to goal I never have to worry about struggling to maintain. So I'm hoping by going back to my CDC I'll be a lot less likely to self sabotage and if I feel that way my CDC will talk me out of it! It's rubbish to feel like this but I know exactly how you feel. Im trying to be positive and positive things will happen.

13 weeks to Xmas today. 13 weeks to get my 33lb off. So if I loose 10lb my first week I then have 12 weeks to loose 24lb. 2lb a week. I 'should' manage that.

Nikki I'm the same, sabotaging myself when I do it on my own! I think it's partly because I'm scared of having to maintain, if I never make it to goal I never have to worry about struggling to maintain.

I'm really going to need your help Sally and mel and kez. I'm hoping to be able to text Julie my CDC too. I'm totally sh1t scared. I just want to cry. What have I done to myself?
