Uh oh! I'm sure you'll be fine. I've just been to Tesco and everyone bought southern fried chicken and full fat coke 
I bought some coke zero, bottled water and that strawberry water you said about. Are there any other flavours? I couldn't see any other ones? I found a rasperry drink in with the shloers etc and that only had 'lactic acid'? in it. But it was quite high in calories so a no go anyway.

Oohh I didn't see apple, will have to look when I next go to the big Tesco, they have more selection there.
Is it pathetic that I begrudged paying 69p for a bottle when I pay £1.20 for a bottle of coke a third of the size everytime I go to the garage or shop?! Don't worry, I answered my own question..lol

Wow I've just had the biggest shock of my life!! A girl I went to school with is about to become a nanna in 5 weeks time!!! The reason I'm so stunned is because she's the same age as me - 31!!!! Here's me worrying about being too old to have children by the time I meet someone, and she's becoming a nanna, it's total madness!!:silly: I don't know how old her daughter is, but I think she might have been pregnant with her when we were at 6th form so that only makes her 14 or 15... ouch
!! None of this is making me feel any better about my empty womb. But still at least I don't have grandchildren on the way.

wow. Not sure I'd be too happy about that at her age!!
How is CD going for you today??
I had my WI today so managed to stock up on products I like (as last week I had been living on my surplus CD stock, which were products I don't particularly like.
I am not cheating this week.

Cd is going fine, I've had 2 shakes so far and all my water, so whatever I have now is a bonus. I'm well and truely in ketosis, the temperature thing in my livingroom says 21 degrees again and I'm sitting here in my fleecey pjs, thick socks and dressing gown and still freezing. Had a hot bath earlier to try and warm up.
I think I'm going to make my last shake into mousse tonight, might make tiramisu with it. I love vanilla shakes made into tiramisu, it's like a treat. I ordered a book on stopping binge eating the other day, so hopefully that'll come on Monday and enlighten me.
I seem to be okay with SS on the weekends, I guess its because there's no temptation in my house and I can find things to do to keep busy and not think about food.
Having said that today I've been really food focussed lol. I've invited some friends round for a BBQ later on in the summer. My friend's husband is also from South Africa so we're going to have an SA themed BBQ. There's a brilliant website that delivers SA food to your house, so I've been looking on there to see what to order. I also decided to get myself a hamper for when I'm finished with SA treats in it. The amazing thing about that is because its SA food I don't have the feeling that I want to eat everything all at once, so I save it!!! I know it's probably not a good idea to treat myself with food, but this is different because I always take it really slowly with this stuff cos I don't want it to run out. I am mad, right?
Sooo things are going well, but I have a massive test on Monday...I'm doing a 21 hour shift. I find it really hard to know when to have my shakes when I have these shifts. There's also the added trauma of the others bringing in comfort food to get themselves through the night, it's going to be a huge challenge to resist this. I can do it!!!

21 hour shift?!? That's a long work day. Most of the time I find it harder at home as OH (really skinny but eats like a pig) has food still and I tend to cook for him.
Atleast at a BBQ you have safe foods you can have. Ordering yourself a SA hamper sounds like a good idea. When you hoping to hit goal?
I must also be in ketosis as struggling with the cold, I'm curled up in bed pj's and dressing gown...I'm sure it must be warm and it's just me.

I have no idea when I'm going to hit goal, because everytime I set myself a time frame I go a bit crazy and lose the plot. Based on recent losses I'd probably say 6 to 8 weeks, but if my weight losses the first time round on SS happen again maybe a month at most.... but who knows?? Hopefully sooner rather than later, I'd love to be close to target for my Grans 90th birthday on 18th July.
To be at target by then would mean I have to lose just over 6lbs a week, which is definitely NOT going to happen, but to be within 7lbs of target means I need to lose 3lbs a week. I'll be happy with that if I can do it, it's 15lbs I have to lose.

I hope you have some big losses, you desrve it. Most people would of given up by now.
I have to keep extending my goals as the pounds seem to come of slowly with me I think I'm a 8-10lb a month girl. Once I have shifted all this weight never again will I put it back on as this has been an emotional rollcoster.

I'm with you on that one hun, it's been way to hard losing the weight to let it go back on again!! I let 2st 9lbs go back on last time, I used breaking up with AP as an excuse to eat like a pig! While I was with him my weight was pretty stable, but I'd already gained a stone when I met him.
No matter what happens to me this time I'm not allowing myself to gain weight. I'm going to give myself a 7lb threshold. If my weight goes up by 7lbs I have to do CD to bring it back down. Apparently this is how thin people do it...they have thresholds where they have to do something about their weight (a good friend told me that when I asked her why she was cutting back on certain bad things).
I plan on following SW when I've worked my way back up through the CD plans. I know I can follow it quite easily, I did it for years before I found CD. I can't wait to get to that stage, because I'm hoping I can lose an additional 7lbs on SW. If I don't manage it I'll be happy at 12st, but I'd love to be nearer to a healthy BMI.

My goal is 11 stone 7lb and my panic button is going to be 12 stone. If I hit 12 stone I will be straight down CDC for a weeks supply of Cd. My CDC suggested having a 7lb threshold. Glad someone else has been advised that aswell.
Once I have worked through the plans I have no idea what I'm going to do. I think SW is a good one though as no counting or weighing really.
I will have to follow some kind of plan or I'll end up a hippo again!!

I think I'm always going to have to be very careful about what I eat, my body seems to have this burning desire to be almost 18st, I don't share it's desire and I'm going to fight against it every step of the way if I have to because I could so easiky let go and be hippo sized again too. Not happening, I can't bear to go through all this again. My friend did LL and lost 10st, she looked fab but was a bit obsessed about getting lower, in the end she had a huge blow out and now she's put it all back on. I'm probably being a bit unfair to her because she has had a baby in the meantime, but now she's got that daunting task of getting back down from 22st again...I feel for her, and I'm determined not to let that happen to me...2st 9lbs is proving hard enough to shift!!
Well I'm off to bed now, hope you have another good day tomorrow, nighty night xx

Morning Shanny!!! I had the weirdest dreams last night, the first one I'd just had this gorgeous baby girl, and I was actually disappointed when I woke up, then I mustve fallen back to sleep because I dreamt that me and AP had got back together. So no prizes for guessing what's on my mind then!!!
So this is day 6 for me, the longest I've gone on SS since Ive been back on CD, usually I've broken by now and had an SS+ day, but I'm determined not to this time. I've found the weekend easy, like I've said before, it's work that's the constant challenge!
Because I'm in ketosis and not feeling hungry it was 11pm last night when I had my final shake and it was a real struggle to get it down. I'd made it into a mousse which I had real difficulties with because I felt full. I shouldve just binned it and had a bar instead, but I'm only in week 1 and I'd had a bar the night before so I didn't want to have another this week at this early stage. I left it so late because I wasn't hungry and forgot - lesson learned!
So today my plans of cutting the grass then lazing in the garden have been ruined again by the weather, so shortly I'm going to head off to Sainsburys to stock up on more water and look at fairy lights for the garden. I might have a go at making jelly from the water and mix a mousse. I've tried before with the water flavourings and it was gross, but that's because the flavourings are far too sweet for me.
Weeeell I'd better go and get ready or I'll end up staying in my pjs all day and not go anywhere lol!!! Have a good 100% day everyone!! Xxxx
