TEAM 4 restart - Moving Mountains

[babycake]

Ok thanks vicki. Except the 2 goldfish that have joined the household! And the strange teenage boy smell that festered in my son's room curtesy of his big cousins. I have to admit that I didn't have a great time CD wise. Kind of went into autopilot and put food in mouth without even realising I'd done it! I was making hot chicken butties and put some bits in as I was stripping it off the bones. Even when I liked my fingers at the end I hadn't realised what I'd done. No wonder I'm bloody fat!!!

 

[Dione]

Sorry I'm here!!
Dione sure you can stay weigh ins are weigh ins no matter what diet you're on.
Fingers crossed for you vikki hun for your weigh in.

Dont be daft baby, theres a lot worse you can do than eat a bit of chicken! Don't be down on yourself hun we've all done it, just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and move on. No point in dissecting it, your only human hun xx

Just gonna have my vanilla mousse...... yummers!!!

Cheers vic. my mind has been elsewhere. We have had some shocking family news. it looks like the 3 extra children could become a perminent fixture in our house for a while. There mom has had some really bad news from the hospital. Shes going in for an op in less then 2 weeks (it doesn't look to good). OH has asked if necessary would we take the kids, while she recovers etc and i've said yes, but it does mean that i cant afford to carry on doing CD for a while. I would like to stay on the team though PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE kel.
i've sent a message to my CDC asking if its ok to contact her again in the new year. hopefully i should here something soon.

 

[kellymundy]

I'm sorry sorry for your terrible family news hun (I got your FB message). If you need to talk at all you know here I am.
Are you planning on doing another form of dieting hun?

 

[vikki73]

Oh my goodness baby what a difficult time ahead for you all! I'm sure you'll cope just fine, but dont abandon the diet hun otherwise when things go back to normal you'll regret it, I've been there!

Onto other things and I feel like I'm breaking up the team now......... Its with excitement and trepidation that I shout from the rooftops (I lost 2lb and I'm at TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I couldn't have done it without the amazing support from you guys thanks so much. I wont be a stranger but would love to keep in touch with you all. Can we be FB friends? Ill pm you with my FB details and if your happy to be my friend I'd love it xx

 

[babycake]

Well done vikki. I'm so proud of you. Lots of big smiles and hugs coming your way. I think I've added you to FB. Will be checking your status to keep tabs on you xoxox

Yeah kel. I've pulled out the old SW books to help tide me over. Ta for being understanding. OH and her are really close. They both lost there mom's when they were kids (under simlar circumstances) think that's why they are both zombied by the whole thing. It kind of helps that I can step back and take control of the day to day stuff.
Gonna WI at home for you Kel. Looking good and fingers crossed
Xoxox

Hi Guys, How's everyones evening going?

Baby, sorry to hear that you've got so much on at the mo.... we're always here for anything you know!! Shame that you can't do CD at the mo, but good that you are ging to remain on a plan of some kind!!!

Vikki...................WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO well done girly, congrats on Target!!! You did it not because of anyone else, but due to your own sheer determination and hard work... we're just here to remind you of that!! PM me your FB details x

Kel, how are you...
Dione.....
Cheryl.....

Well OH is on Biz in Washington again for a week.... so making the most of the evenings to do what I want, at the moment I'm sitting here like an old granny, watching a documentary about the Carpenters (love them!!) and doing embroidery!!

xx

 

[babycake]

I love the carpenters. When dix was born I used to sooth him by singing 'close to you' even now he stops ans smiles at me if I sing it or it comes on the radio!!

 

[vikki73]

Morning all! I have woken up this morning with grim determination to not stray from the path of targetness, and packed a fruit salad for lunch. I'm down to one CD a day which I intend to have as a mousse for my evening snack. I can't quite remember how it works, after this 2 weeks on 1500 if I maintain or lose a little do I then finish with the packs? If so thats scary they've been my little bit of security, when I don't have them anymore i'll be out on my own

 

[ELAY]

Hi Everyone....

Well I hope you are all having a good day!?

I'm afraid I'm going to bring the mood down, I am struggling so much at the moment....My eating patterns are becoming seriously wrong and I am at the point where I need someone to either give me a seriously hard slap or sit me down and give me therapy! I don't know why I am sabotaging myself?? It is getting to the point where it is making me feel really down all the time, I'd done so well and was starting to look good, but I now look disgusting again and feel like a failure! What is wrong with me that I can't get back on track???

Sorry Ladies, having a really down day and it doesn't help that the kids are really playing up!

xx

 

[vikki73]

Oh Elay dont be silly silly silly!!!
You look great, and don't listen to that mean old voice in your head telling you otherwise! You have to just draw a line under it and move on hun, these things are sent to try us, and they make us stronger!
Just stand up straight and say "I want to be thin more than I want that (insert naughty food here) and this is just temporary. Once I get to target I can treat myself occasionally"
Come on girl pull yourself together you one of the people who is absolutely amazing at motivating other people, just take some of your own advice :hug99:

 

[ELAY]

Thanks Vikki,

It's always so much easier to give advise than take it yourself!! I really want nothing more than to get back on track...but am finding it so so hard, but I don't know why? If I want something so much, why can I not do it? Like a knife to my heart an old woman at the dry cleaners asked me when my Baby was due... I wanted to cry!! But the thing is I don't look that fat... top I had on gathers under the bust and then flows out from there...but I don't think I looked pregnant!! I feel like crying at the moment.

I think that I should start afresh tomorrow and will more than likely be on here loads tomorrow to get you all to tell me to keep away from the devil Food!!!

xx

 

[babycake]

Oh ELAY. ((((Big hugs)))) I know that you van do this. Hope today goes well

Kel. I WI yesterday and STS. I do have to say I did WI in jeans and UGG's. Boots kinda of call security if you strip off even to WI!!!!!!

Xoxox

 

[vikki73]

Oh elay I'm sorry hun, people can be so thoughtless can't they? Just take comfort in the fact that its the style of your top that made her think it, not your shape (she was probably half blind anyway lol)

Baby well done on STS coming off CD, thats impressive!

 

[babycake]

Hi everyone.

Hope your all having a good day. One of our goldfish had to have a burial by toilet flush this morning logan took it very well considering!!

Check in later

Xoxox

 

[vikki73]

RIP Goldie :cry:

 

[babycake]

He's sat in his room watching the other one to make sure he's ok!!!!

How's everyone doing today?

going to a trade show at birmingham NEC tomorrow. Can't wait, i'm soooo excited!!!

 

[cherylxx]

hi ladies,
ok, this is a very difficult post for me to make and one ive been avoiding since monday.
i have had to temporarily leave cd.
ive had some personal problems at home which have made the diet very hard recently , leading to frequent 'blips' on a daily basis and also affecting me a lot financially.
with that in mind and the fact it caused a sts week as a result, ive decided to leave until after christmas when hopefully things will be different for me.
however, i have a fair few shakes left and so plan to do my own 1200 cal using one shake a day until after chrimbo .
im really sorry, especially to kel , who i feel like im letting down personally. im so sorry kel :cry:.
i would love to stick around if thats still ok with everyone.
seems that quite a few people are having real struggles just recently.
i really hope we all manage to eat sensibly and for those of us that need still require the ss or ss+ plans in the near future, may we gain the strength we need.
again, im really sorry everyone.
i didnt realise failing could feel so much like im letting everyone else down :sigh:

 

[kellymundy]

I'm going to start with a big apology to you all that I've been absent for the majority of this week as I've been unwell.
I also need to apologise for the fact that when unwell I completely fell off the wagon and even the 1000 plan went out the window. Now I'm better and I'm hoping to get back on track over the next few days but god only knows what the damage will be.
ELAY please don't listen to that old woman I'll bet she was as blind as a bat as she clearly doesn't know what she's talking about.
Cheryl I'm on a higher plan (when I get back to it) until the new year so why can't you, and to be honest I'm thinking of just going purely to healthy eating (financial issues) until at least then too, if it's ok with everyone else?
