morning everyone so what plans do we have for today?

me i have none hubby at work so think ill go have a wonder around the shops.

 

[Surfhunny]

Hi DD, I've got to go last minute shopping for my hols, no time next week. Then I'm at work 3pm-7pm, boo:cry:!!! Hope you all have a good weekend!

 

[BBlilsis]

I'm hanging out for the day (no change there then), I find it hard to socialise whilst SSing, cuz I hate fighting all the temptations:drool: so i tend to lock myself away :gen157:gets a bit boring at times but I'm 1lb short of achieving my August goal and I've only got two days to get there, so "short term pain for long term gains" :giggle:

Hope some of you are about today to catch up with ??

 

[Surfhunny]

Just popped on to see how everyones day has been. Work was busy as usual, and tomorrow I have got so much to do. Starting with mowing the lawn, a task I totally hate. But at least it's exercise and fresh air!! Then I have to go into town and get some money changed for my holiday. I'm gutted to find that the $ has dropped so much :cry:Ah well, that's what I get for procrastinating. Looks like I won't have time to think about being on a diet, lets just hope I can remember to drink, cos I've been a bit lax with the water today,:sign0007:

Right I'm off to bed, need my beauty sleep if I'm going to get everything done tomorrow. Night xx:nightf:

 

[doubledumplings]

Ok its late and I want to be honest,,,, I've struggled for the last week and its not unusual to struggle on a VLCD, but when I was just posting on my own thread, then it was just me, BUT i've been trying to post on here and calling for help, but no matter what i post about struggling and maybe trying to follow my own advice, I've not received support, like, yeh stay strong or anything, I've spent the last 24hrs struggling, and nothing. I realise that people can't have access online all the time, but i openly admitted to struggling last nite and team members posted afterwards and it was like i'd said nothing.

I think I want to go back when I had my own little diary, for my own records, when I just posted what happened to me and not feel responsible, cuz its one thing to feel responsible, but its usually matched with team members helping...... so I've noticed that i've stopped posting on my own thread, trying to post on here.

I really love this team, but I feel I can't at the moment. I'm not JUST dealing with this diet, I'm struggling big time with outside forces, and when I try to post on this thread, its not getting thru, maybe I've built up a persona of being really really strong, but I'm not, If I was, I wouldn't be feeding my emotions and worries with food.

I think I should quit, and continue my weightloss journey by myself, then I can slip and regroup without letting others down

but i openly admitted to struggling last nite and team members posted afterwards and it was like i'd said nothing.

I guess this means me and I'm sorry:booboo:. I'm not on here to upset people. The reason I didn't post was because you DID seem like you had it under control =

but I'm 1lb short of achieving my August goal and I've only got two days to get there, so "short term pain for long term gains" :giggle:

I think that my problem is that I don't really need that much support so I forget other people do. I'd already been through all the mental chaos and changing of my eating habits before I started CD. This for me is just a quicker means to an end.

Please don't leave us cos our group would fall apart without you. And don't worry about letting anyone down, although this group thing was set up as a bit of a competition it was meant to help keep people motivated not make them feel inadequate. Everyone has slip ups and bad days/weeks/months. Some people get through it easier than others.

Anyway I hope you feel better today and think again about leaving us. Post on your own thread as well as on here, thats what I do, I keep my blog as well as this. Just keep going it's all any of us can do!!!

PS Sorry again!:flowers:

Hiya Surfhunny, I'm sorry, I didn't mean my post to come across as if I was blaming anyone in particular, I wasn't and still am not. I think I've got so many worries outside of the dieting, that I'm having little mental meltdowns all over the place
I think that my problem is that I don't really need that much support so I forget other people do. I'd already been through all the mental chaos and changing of my eating habits before I started CD. This for me is just a quicker means to an end.

:giggle: on my good days, which thankfully I have more than bad ones, this is my motto too, do the Cambridge, get the weight off, and get on with my life :giggle: its just never that easy is it



Please don't leave us cos our group would fall apart without you.

I'm not leaving, I hadn't realised how bonded I've become to you five , I'd miss you all (but I hardly think the little group would fall apart without me :giggle: And don't worry about letting anyone down, although this group thing was set up as a bit of a competition it was meant to help keep people motivated not make them feel inadequate. Everyone has slip ups and bad days/weeks/months. Some people get through it easier than others.

Is now a good time to admit I slipped yesterday, well I had a protein meal (or two), not exactly SS+ ingredients, but I'm gonna do my best to get back up on the 100% SS today, I only gained 1lb so hopefully I'll have that off in no time

Anyway I hope you feel better today and think again about leaving us. Post on your own thread as well as on here, thats what I do, I keep my blog as well as this. Just keep going it's all any of us can do!!!

PS Sorry again!:flowers:

No one is to feel they have to say sorry to me, I'm the one that has to apologise for all my meltdowns, I wish I could explain more how work is messing with my head right now, but bless ya all, your seeing the fallout in my posts

Thankfully I'm a very positive person, so the lows are very shortlived, and I'm already back up on the positive :vibes:

I came back to add, that I've just realised that I used to push all my emotion down with food, and now I'm not doing that its releasing out all over the place :grouphugg:

 

[Surfhunny]

I think we need to have a rule for our group!!!

:break_diet:No-one has to apologise for any slip ups!!:booboo:

I think this is only fair because none of us are perfect (except maybe me - not!), and we're all bound to need time out now and then.

I'll let you all into a secret - my slip up is going to be when I get to my target - I'm going to have the biggest blowout celebration ever.
arty0036:arty0027:arty0011: arty0023::grouphugg:
And then the very next day I'm going to get back to healthy eating again. I just keep that celebration in mind when things get tough.

I've mowed the lawn this afternoon, glad thats out of the way, I hate doing it. The edges are all raggedy though because as soon as I got the strimmer out the heavens opened.:tear_drop::tear_drop::tear_drop: Everytime I touch the strimmer it rains, every single time. I could be solely responsible for Britains lousy summer. Soz!!!

 

[doubledumplings]

arh BB im so sorry u felt that way last night and to be honest i didnt even read through the last posts when i came online last night it was just a quick post about how i was doing.

im glad ur not quiteing as i know everyone wud miss u and we are here for u but as surf said i though u had it under control. xx

 

[BBlilsis]

Hi Surf and DD,

Surf I love the new rule arty0049:, and DD don't worry about me, it was a meltdown, and it just so happened I directed it towards this challenge, I think I was just panicking that this was one more avenue that I was responsible for and I was struggling keeping my head above water in so many other areas, I just let the pressure get to me....

I tested and even though I slipped yesterday, and had a small cheese omelette for breakfast (beside my choc mint shake ) I'm in de PINK arty0011:so it'll be easier for me to get focused again.

Plus girls I've had a look at the calendar, and yep my TOTM is due today, so that explains a little of my moodswings in the last few days. I'm not sure if its cramps or the zip on my shorts digging into me :giggle: right now

I found my size 16 jeans shorts upstairs, and whilst they go up, they don't zip up (nowhere close :giggle but seen as I'm pottering between back garden and sofa I'm wearing them with a baggy t-shirt over de top :giggle:

Its lovely and sunny over here today, miracles do happen, so i'm glad to report the curse of the strimmer hasn't reached across the water

:giggle: Hey DD its not the TL stuff, that bit I can do no bother...I'm happiest with my head stuck in an excel spreadsheet manipulating numbers its the not being 100% perfect that was stressing me out, I slip and then the team score suffers, but I feel grand now, specially seen as we've talked about it now

[Shadaca]

Hey Folks,

Just reading through - Sorry BB, I didn't read or register, you know I love you and you can always msn me or pm if you need to rant - we loves you, just I'm like a boy sometimes when I don't notice stuff - It took me 5 years to realise someone was flirting with me once!

I've just had three mad days, I had to eat out every day and I've had very little sleep. I've not eaten anything bad - but I've probably eaten more than my two tablespoons of veg. I hope I'm going to loose something this week .

Anyway - how are you guys? all well and coping?

Big Hug all round.

*********FOOD REFERENCES... look only if feeling STRONG*****************

Hello my lovely ladies... glad to see the meltdown's are under control now I'm back .

Just for my 2 penny's worth, often when you don't log in for a day or so, so much can happen on a thread you can't read every single message but can skim through and get a gist, so when things are not commented on it can be that something else has come up after a post that probably should have got a response... but anyway I think TOTM can explain many of these **unloved** moments that food used to fill. It's all good and we're all here to support rants, tantrums, good times and...... :break_diet:which I am sorry to report I have been busy doing today.

Just got back from a baby shower which we had to all take a plate... I took New York bagels (with bacon, avocado, cream cheese) and although didn't have one of those, had 3 G&T's (slimline if that counts for anything ) a mini hotdog, a few hairbo lollies (some would call it a few, others would mention handfuls) and a thin slice of some delightful cake.

Anyway the positive about this is it hasn't ended in a full-scale binging session which I can guarantee would have happened only 2 months ago. So it seems I can go out and maintain a sense of decorum and get straight back on plan.

I've just keto tested and still pink.... a bit bloated but gussling on the water and just had a CD bar as final meal of the day.

OK - there's my confession. I won't be off-plan at all for the next 7 weeks so no worries there. Just hoping not to let us down on the scales this week.........

Hope my lovelies are trooping on through this heinous weather. Will come back on later to offer some non-self-indulgent support
