Don't worry about your CDC, she's there to support you, not chastice you! I'm starting to dreed WI too. I've been slack, but not outrageous, but today I have def been back to my old ways and eaten just for the sake of it.

Oh wow, I've only gone and lost this week....WI was a day early too. I've somehow managed to lose 2 whole lbs woo hooo. Looks like everyone positive vibes have paid off. I can't tell you how relieved and shocked I am, not to mention lucky.
Maybe my losses have finally picked up again and if I can make it through a week of SS+ without going off the rails who knows how much I could lose. I only need to lose 5lbs to be into the 12s for my birthday, so that's my aim. I know, I know I wasn't going to ut pressure on myself and give myself targets but it's not so much a target, as an incentive.... If I don't quite make it, at least I'll be damn close.

Excellent! Positive thinking was a winner. Are you watching super vs skinny? Don't you want to slap that girl...what is she going to be teaching her kids?!
Just heard the best reason ever for eating chocolate! Cause I like sex and have a high labido, but I don't get any...so I have to eat 2-3 bars a day! hahahaha

Hmmm I'm not getting any either, bring on the chocolate lol. Silly woman!!! It's people like her that give bigger people a bad name!! Grrr!!!
Lyndzi I've been 100% since Saturday morning, I had a really bad day at work on Friday. Ate everything in sight because I was stressed, it scared me a bit how easy it was to just slip back into my old ways, but I managed (with the moral support of everyone on here) to put a lid on it and get right back on track on Saturday. And I've had a very lucky escape. Phew.

I've tried to get 3 litres down my neck each day. There's been the odd day when I've just had the minimum but most days it's 3. It's much easier now I've discovered the flavoured water from Sainsbury's and Tesco's that don't have citric acid in them, and they really don't make a difference to losses. BUT it does encourage me todrink more.

It's the still water with apple or the one with strawberry, Tesco's own brand ones. Check the label to make sure they don't have citric acid in them, Malic acid is okay apparently.
I know, I just had to keep the faith with the diet, it has to work, first the inches came off now the weight is shifting again.
I just finished watching Supersize Vs Superskinny and got quite a shock, some of the characteristics that anorexic people display when eating are what I do.... Before I go any further let me just say I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT ANOREXIC, I love my food too much lol. But I did notice that when I'm eating I do exactly what they described:
I cut it up into small amounts,
I eat with a teaspoon
I hide bits of food under other food
I break bits off rather than taking bites.
Worrying....I don't know what this means for me because I have done this for years and years. I am clearly not anorexic lol, unless I'm the first 13st + one.
I think the reason I eat the way I do is probably because I've always been self conscious about eating. I don't want people to see me eating and think that I'm big because I stuff my face. It's why I hardly get anything from a buffet table, I'm scared of what people will think if I fill my plate. Does anyone else think this or is it just my own personal weirdness? I'm probably just thinking too much about it and it doesn't really matter.

hiya
well done on your losses. i think that it is very easy to slip into your old ways but i think with CD you realise quicker what you're doing and you try to reign it back in again whereas before you'd keep on going. i get a guilty feeling now. i also get a don't really want it and can't be bothered feeling.
yesterday after weigh in i went and had a nice americano with skim milk in costa teesside park, i didn't get my old usual latte but it was after 10am and i hadn't eaten at all (tend to do this before weigh in). i decided to get a muffin but i usually get a blueberry one but they had none. i couldn't decide whether to get a rasp and white choc or a low cal orange and lemon one. so i went for the low cal one (prob low cal, less fat in the loosest of terms lol), it was nasty. dry, rubbery yak. i didn't get the rasp and choc one cause it had choc in it and just didn't want to have choc. later on that day i took a choc bisc from m&s pack at home. i decided to eat it but only had a mouthful and decided that i didn't really want it and gave it to the dog. strange as before i wouldn't have had a bite out of one i would have had 3, and the muffin i'd have gone full out and had a double choc chip thing with a late probably made with full fat milk. i can let go on occasion but i'm now always constantly aware. my hubby calls me obsessive. all i seem to talk about to him is exercise, diet and how much i've lost. it is worrying me a bit. will i always be like this.
a bit off track there. sorry. just wanted to add that i also think that we can all have small likenesses to the anorexics but they are really on top of everything - really obsessive. i like to cut my muffins with a knife and eat them in small bits and i like to make sure i have lots of coffee between bites, nowadays i have 500ml of water too. being fatter i couldn't leave any muffin, even crumbs, being thinner i can leave sections of muffin if i want to without diving back to the table. it's very very odd.

Well done SH... you're back on track by the sounds of it... keep going! I look forward to the day I'm where you are, you've done so well!
I too can't do the buffet table thing; I take a little triangle sandwich and sit down LOL.. I honestly do think it's the awareness of people watching, (but really they're not) We think their impression of us will be we are greedy! Fact is, I may be overweight, but I can honestly say I've never been greedy in my life. I have eaten the totally wrong things over the years, butter, bread, mayo etc and not used my calories wisely. CD is teaching me such valuable lessons each day.. I now know that when I get to goal and start to maintain I will "spend" my calories wisely each day and not blow them on mayos and butters, breads and carbs!
I love your diary, thanks for sharing.. and sorry for my long post. Good luck for this week!

Hiya Shanny yeah I'm out in the sun, I feel like I'm on holiday it's so hot. I've actually moved into the shade for a bit. I'm going to wash the car later on but it's too hot at the moment I think. I was doing fine being off work until last night, went out with my family to Pizza Hut there was no way I was going to sit there and eat salad while everyone else tucked into pizza so I shared a pizza with my bro. I haven't dared get on the scales today to see the damage I've just got right back on with CD.
How's your weekend going so far?
