SS+ for September

Hey tomorrow is the 1st of September, so its a new month and a new opportunity to start with a clean slate...I'm gonna be grabbing the chance

Hey Lily - firstly congrats on the size 16 shorts! Woot - size 14 here you come!!

I am SS+ all the way for September. I'm mostly SS but as I haven't told anyone about being on the diet and I go out for team lunches etc some days I throw in a plain chicken salad if I have to to avoid Q's.

Anyway as silly as it might sound I am not that disappointed with myself re today's food.... it's really weird I feel all tingly inside (it's not the food I swear!!). Something in me saying 'see you can maintain some self-control in the future when need be'.

But it's also made me even more determined to really question every little thing I put in my body for the forseeable future until it becomes natural instinct to go for what's best for me.

Shadaca - well done on a tough week. I wouldn't worry about more veg particularly if it's green, consider it prevention of constipation .

DD - it's sounds like we share FIM (foot in mouth) disease. It's funny how we can take this diet out on others. I know my first week or so I got cranky at people for no reason at all and it wasn't the usual TOTM stuff. It's like removing the food forces us to deal with what's really 'eating' us... love it. Such a good diet.

I hope I am not just on some food high because I feel GREAT right now. Hoping there isn't a massive come-down tomorrow

Surfhunny - can you please send your strimmer to Australia

I wonder if chalack is back today? chalack we're waiting with bated breath to see how your holidays were!!

Surfhunny - can you please send your strimmer to Australia

I think my hand has to actually be on the strimmer for the curse to take effect. I guess that means I'd have to go to Aus too - what a shame lol.:giggle:

:giggle:the size 16 shorts fit my legs, but mmmmm wouldn't even come close to zipping up, it was like muffin tummy pushing the two sides apart :giggle: amazingly I fit on a pair of size 16 jeans this morning and they did zip up, same store bought as well

I'm seriously thinking of either swapping to SS+ or allowing myself some SS+ days, cuz I'm not teaching myself anything about food, as soon as I get a knock, I just revert back to old habits (not good)

Wow, Sleekandclean, I never clicked to you being in Australia, wow I'm so jealous

Hey, if a leg is in - that's counted :giggle:That's where my size 12's (that are really a 14) were just 2 weekends ago. Last weekend they zipped up with muffin. Expected to wear comfortably today but alas any weightloss seems to have come off thighs this week and not mid/@rse section... but it's coming off anyway so who cares.

Not in Aus anymore Lily, just want surfhunny to move there with her strimmer so we can have some sunshine here :giggle:

yeh its weird where the weight drops from, today my watch was falling off my wrist :giggle: my jeans are also starting to feel nice and loose, actually I noticed when I was heavier the length of the legs were a few millimeters too short, :giggle: but as my legs are getting thinner, the jeans aren't so stuck to my thighs so the length is increasing as they drop loosely :giggle:

That's wonderful about all you guys fitting into smaller clothes - I don't really have any so I'm going to use the excuse to go out shopping if it happens. I'd love to buy something not from Evans. Maybe even Topshop WAAAAYYY down the line!

Anyway - news for today. It's my first day of unemployment, so I'm a bit thumb twiddling. The plan is to go to the doc at somepoint this afternoon and to not binge this evening with no show to do. Hopefully either it won't last long, or I'll get used to it. I've got an interview tomorrow lunchtime, but not sure about it. I hate interviews.

Anyway - 1 litre and 1 shake and possibly to many husks down and the sun has just gone in.

How is Monday treating you lot?

 

[kathandjohn]

Cheers you all on from the sidelines, go go go dieters

 

[Shadaca]

Yay - Thank you!!!!

Do you have pom poms?

 

[chalack]

Sorry to hear your between jobs right now
The plan is to go to the doc at somepoint this afternoon
Hey I hope your not ill ?, and to not binge this evening with no show to do.
Come on here, talk to us instead, play some of the arcade games, they'll keep your hands busy
Hopefully either it won't last long, or I'll get used to it. I've got an interview tomorrow lunchtime, but not sure about it. I hate interviews.
Just think of interviews as a chat with a stranger, they'll be nervous too ya know.
Anyway - 1 litre and 1 shake and possibly to many husks down and the sun has just gone in.
The weather keeps changing here, one minute its sunny, then its dark and heavy showers and now its back to sunny.
How is Monday treating you lot?

I'm off work today myself, two sisters came to visit with their kids, wrecked my house, let my dogs loose in a field, they've come back in covered in sh*t and have now gone home. At least they've given me something to do,,,I've just showered both my dogs

I got soaked with the jumping about of the dogs so changed into my pj's and now the sun is shining, making me think I should go for a walk...mmmm wet dogs, pj's, its a hard one

Have sole sourced today no problem, don't think I'm back in the pink but I'm not hungry thank god

Welcome back chalack, as usual its been eventful round here whilst you've been away....ahhh sunburn what is this word you speak off, we only get the sun in short bursts, if at all over here this summer

Hi girlies, just got back from weigh in. Only lost 3 lbs this week, but I'm fine with that cos I lost 3 inches from my chest and hips and 2 from my waist so can't complain too much:giggle:.

Not in Aus anymore Lily, just want surfhunny to move there with her strimmer so we can have some sunshine here :giggle:

I'm off to America on Saturday so maybe the 'Curse of the Dreaded Strimmer' will end then and you'll all be blessed with glorious sunshine:character00238: (or maybe not??)

I'm seriously thinking of either swapping to SS+ or allowing myself some SS+ days, cuz I'm not teaching myself anything about food, as soon as I get a knock, I just revert back to old habits (not good)

I think this might give you a bit more freedom and make you feel less restricted. You're right about teaching yourself about food tho, even in 3 weeks I think I've learned quite a lot but I'm still scared about the effect reintroducing food will have on me.

Anyway, I hope everyone's having a good day! Glad you enjoyed your holiday Chalak.

 

[Surfhunny]

Woaw I've just looked at my ticker and realised that I've only got 4 more lbs to lose and then I'll be exactly half way to my target weight woo hoo!!! Just thought I'd share that.:bliss:

:wow: 3lbs in your 3rd week is amazingly great :happy036: thats 1lb of a half a stone


I'm off to America on Saturday so maybe the 'Curse of the Dreaded Strimmer' will end then and you'll all be blessed with glorious sunshine:character00238: (or maybe not??)

Another minimin that I'm jealous of, Florida...how long are you going on holiday for ??

Yep today, I've had my first proper 100% rule SS+ meal, a salmon fillet and a tiny amount of cauliflower and brocolli...this is great for me, cuz in the two years I've been on and off CD, I've NEVER actually done this

Anyway, I hope everyone's having a good day! Glad you enjoyed your holiday Chalak.

I've had a good diet day, lets see if i get back into ketosis soon
