Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

[Surfhunny]

The reason I got to almost 18st was because I was in complete denial about my actual weight. As far as I was concerned I weighed 14st, because that was what I weighed the last time I went on the scales. Denial is a crazy thing!!! By avoiding the scales for years the weight just crept on, so easily.

I so agree with you. The same happened to me. I'd even tell myself that if my jeans didn't fit it was because they had somewhat shrinked in the washing machine That's denial, first class

64st.... Poor woman, she must be in so much pain. The thing is, I don't think people can become that huge only because they eat too much. There must be an underlying condition, physical or psychological, and that's why I always feel bad for very big people. Because society blame them for something they are not entirely responsible for. I wonder if there are any studies studying the psychological health of these very overweight people.

Anyhoo, you seem to get on fine Saying no to brownies.....Hard! I don't drink alcohol, but brownies :drool:

Tomorrow is WI and for some reason I'm terrified!!! I don't know why.. I think it's because last time round I went through a horrible long stretch of small losses, I don't want that to happen again!!! Time is running out and a need to lose the minimum of 3lbs a week. Am I setting myself up for a fall I wonder? I hope not, I hope I can pull this off!

After WI I'm going to see Ross Noble, he's one of my favourite comedians. I'll post my loss if I get chance, if not it'll be Thursday morning.

So nervous I've been 100% so there's no reason not to lose. I really want to have a decent loss.... To be well and truly back into the 13's not just teetering on the edge. Cross everything for me people I'm scared!!

 

[great things]

if you've been 100% i would expect a loss in excess of 7lb! most of which is water. i'll be suprised if you've not lost this. i would expect me to loose that in the first week back on ss, if i started back on ss that is.

 

[cornishkez]

Come on Surf, how did you do?

 

[Surfhunny]

Well it seems my fear was justified, I lost 3lbs. I'm not impressed fir my first full week, but I need to lose 3lbs a week so I'm still achieving my goals. The only thing I can think of an eliminate are my scrambled eggs, I've had them most days. My CDC said she's surprised they've been allowed on SS+ because they're quite high in fat and cholesterol. So this next week I'm going to cut out the eggs, if it doesn't make a difference I'll have them again, if it does bye bye eggs. At least I'm back in the 13's!!!

 

[great things]

3lb is still 3lb. can you not think of doing ss for a week? now that you're back on track and most likely to be in ketosis. i find that ss is the only way when i've put on cause it's strict.

 

[Surfhunny]

I'm dropping back down to SS. I thought I'd give SS+ a go but I really do think that the only way I can do this is on strict SS only. Day 1 of SS today. I'll be okay on it because of my frame of mind.

I'm going to be tested tonight, the girls are getting together to sort out the last details for our holiday, and Kat is cooking dinner, but she knows I'm doing this and is very militant with me, so she's told me to bring my diet stuff and refuses to feed me, yay Kat!! The other day she stopped me from even looking at the Thorntons choccies that were on the table, she's a great conscience!! Fortunately though all the girls are trying to eat healthily before our big trip, so I don't feel too hard done by.

We'll see how I get on this next week before I make a decision about going back to the gym. I might go back just to get me out of the house!

 

[great things]

you should totally get back to the gym. i used to live there but with hubby's work and the cut in hours from the kids club i'm finding doing the gym hard.

have joined the running club on tuesdays. keeps me going. ran today on the treadmill. just need to get back to my full gym life. pi$$ed bout the cut in kids club hours. it used to be an hour a day mon-fri. now it's 45 mins a day mon-thurs. it's getting to the point where i'm looking elsewhere or looking at what else i can do to get my time in. can't believe that the BL do 7+ hours exercise a day at the gym. i'd love to have the time to do that!

 

[Surfhunny]

Well I'm proud of myself on Thursday night the girls got together to finalize our holiday plans and book the last tours and things. They all had chicken fajitas and nachos and I had my banana tetra.

I've also set myself a task, we had to give our weights when we booked our helicopter trip so I put mine down as 12st, so I absolutely have to do it now, I'd die of embarrassment if we get on the scales at the airport (which we will have to) and I'm nowhere near that weight!!! So the bar is set I'm up for the challenge!!

 

[Elie]

Well done surfhunny! How much weight do you have to lose then?

I think you did the right thing. Sometimes, we have to take decisions that will force us to take action I did the same with my wedding dress.

You know you can count on our support.

 

[Surfhunny]

Weeelll I have just under 2st to lose before the helicopter, trouble is I'll have been on holiday for a week by that point so I could prob do with losing more really, no pressure there lol. Seriously though I wanted to lose 2st before I go and I'm on track for that so far but I'd love a big loss here and there to help speed things along, but so long as I'm averaging 3lbs a week I'll do it!

 

[Surfhunny]

I feel dreadful today, I've got a headache, raging pmt and I'm stressed to hell with work!!! Never have I wanted a big roast dinner in all my life!! I want comfort food!!! I'm so annoyed with myself because I'm well aware that I'm being a prize b!tch but I can't help it, today seems to be one of those days where if you want something doing properly do it yourself, so I've been run ragged all morning! And all I want to do is cry and go to sleep!

 

[*Shanny*]

Oh sweetie you sound down keep om top of the diet, big huggies to you and hope the week gets better. X

 

[Surfhunny]

Aw thanks hun, I think because work is so stressful it's making my pmt seem even worse

 

[Madhata]

Hi SurfHunny,

I am sat at work and having a bad day on CD and have pretty much read your whole dairy. (like a right saddo)

You have literally made me laugh, about a million times and it has been like reading my own weight loss story!

Just wanted to say well done!!!!!! & that you have now made my day!

 

[Surfhunny]

Ah madhata thanks, you've made my day too with that lovely comment!! I'm finally home from the workhouse, called in at mum and dads only to find them tucking into shepherds pie, gutted!! That wouldve totally made me feel better! But never mind, came home to choc tetra instead. Not quite the same but hey!

I'm really not happy with the thought of going back to work tomorrow, grrr I wish it was me who'd won the euromillions this week! At least I'm not having trouble with the diet, it's the only thing not stressing me out at the moment.

 

[great things]

sorry bout work surf. things will get better, i'm sure.

 

[Surfhunny]

Thanks Nikki, it can't really get any worse so at least that's something, if I can cope with all this without eating my weight in chocolate I can cope with anything!

 

[Elie]

Job related stress is the worst. Make sure you vent your frustration (preferably not on colleagues ). You're not paid to be superwoman!

I hope your evening under the duvet was good. I am SURE you'll have lost these stones by the time you have to travel. You're too determined now, and you did the right thing to set yourself this challenge. It'll motivate you

So you must be a surfing fan then, with a username like yours The only time I saw really surfing done was when I went to Tahiti (my mum didn't want to travel alone, so I sacrificed myself and let her pay my holiday ). The waves were enormous in some places! And I've lived all my childhood and adolescence on the Atlantic Coast, so it's not like I am not used to the sea!
