I so feel for you on the teeth thing, I was supposed to get my front teeth veneered for my 40th but of course nothing is ever straightforward and it is so expensive it's unreal, I shall get a second opinion when I move, maybe you should too?

You've done great to stick to the ID and I love your idea about subway salads (have one accross the road from me!), Have a better day today xxx:bighug:

DD today but may allow myself 600 calories as have had a down followed by an intermediate and been exercising hard
 
Ever get the feeling it is going to be one of those days ?

Super hectic at work as the boiler and all radiators are being replaced . So workmen and deliveries all morning + no heat or water and a tantruming 2 year old . Will not use all this as an excuse to dip into the plumbers biscuit tin !! Must bring water with me rest of week so at least I have something to drink . I was out when the plumbers turned off the water so didn't get a chance to fill jugs and kettles :-(
 
Oh that doesn't sound good. Is it nice enough to take the child(ren) out for a bit, or is the tantrum beyond that?
 
Well the rest of the day was ok but failed at the down day I think to be honest I was askign too much of my self to do a down after an DD and then an ID and a ton of exercise (2 bmf classes a ton of walking folded by a running class)

Little one got over her troubles and had a nice but hectic day.

Tomorrow will be better prepared with full kettles and buckets of water for toilet flushing and cand of diet coke

Good morning everyone well a failed DD yesterday but probably could be classed as a ID although i didn't calorie count as lots of picking

Things learned I can't do a DD followed by a 1000 ID then attempt another DD while also ramping up my exercise again.

I am going to work towards 2 DD a week and 4 healthy eating days and 1 day off not setting that as a goal in stone as that usually means i mess up, just something to work towards. I feel better and sleep better if i lay off to much sugar

Having an up day today

ryvita banana and peanut butter for breakfast

lunch out and plan on it being a treat lunch

dinner something hairy dieters from the freezer maybe chicken paprika over stir fried courgttes
maybe followed by one small treat
 
Good UP day today enjoyable and not just a total sugar fest :) Off to bed soon may have a few bites of white choc before I go :) DD tomorrow making sure the kettlesare all full before the water goes off.
Plan is ....

Have diet coke in car already

Breakfast
Tea with semi skimmed milk (30 cals)
Raspberry chilli tea
decaf diet coke

Lunch
Subway salad (250 cals)

Dinner
Tomato and red pepper soup x 2 (160 cals)
 
Now that would be sad subway salad for treat meal lol. I had sausage and mash at a nt property plus half a piece of refrigerator cake and half a scone with jam and cream .

Freaky deaky weigh in this am of 5 pounds on since yesterday. I know that isn't right so will ignore . I didn't sleep well due to eating choc right before bed really must stop that

Dd today menu above
 
Ok big confession time I am really struggling and have been since easter really :-( and i know it is all down to choc/sugar.

My one main love for this diet is being able to eat things i like (choc/sugar/cheese etc) on up days . BUT i know deep down that i am addicted to sugar which is why earlier on this year i tried the harcombe diet.

Which is fine until I decide that life without sugar is miserable and blow it all arggggh

I also suffer from stomache problems and flair ups with my rosacea when i eat whatever i want :-(

If I do juddd without choc, cake and cheese then frankly i know i will NEVER stick to a down day. How do you who do SW/juddd cope. I feel if I am going to do that I may as well just do SW, which i can do but the same problem arrises i can be really really really good and then throw in the towel and go on a binge :-(

I don't even have a lot to lose but want to stop this cycle i have been in for years losing and gaining the same weight sometimes 5 to 7 pounds sometimes i let it get out of control and it is 20 to 40 pounds I really feel low about this

I have been reading the harcombe book again and i am going to reread Zoe harcombes book why do we overeat but i know that I am away for the next two weekends so there is no point trying harcombe as I will just not be able to stick to it when i am eating out (not during the early stages)

Feeling very sad and confused
 
I do primal - google marks daily apple - dark choc, red wine is allowed in moderation ;) they also have an 80/20 rule about eating in general, if some of the time you slip no worries that's life - back to it next meal :)

Also fab recipes for sweet things
Nigella's olive oil cake is Devine - made with almond flour.

I'm doing both as Fasting is encouraged while doing the primal blue print, but I also make it work for me, if I need those extra carby stuff 10 days before my TOTM - I have potatoes, and gluten free stuff - I also use glutamine tables to help with my sugar cravings. You can have maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar (is a bit like brown sugar) stevia etc

Once TOTM arrives back to reducing the potatoes and gluten free stuff - I just try to not eat wheat!

I've read some success stories of people with Rosecea. Have success with reducing symptoms by going primal :)

I like it because I feel better, less sleepy and slow .. Bit less grumpy too ;)

following primal blueprint and experimenting with the 5:2 fasting diet
 
thanks for your input,

I have started reading more about primal thankyou.

I am going to go back to thd but acknowledging that the first month will not be perfect as away the next two weekends. But want to move away from sugar ruling my life. I also aiming for another brave thing of not weighing for one month. in one month i will reassess everything

Good luck with IF everyone
 
Sorry to read that you are struggling to kick the sugar monster in to touch at the moment. I have not heard of the Harcombe diet *faints in shock, mock horror - a diet I haven't heard of* When I did Atkins I found that after a while I genuinely didn't want sugar, but the issues weren't so much with the physical issues as with the social issues I suppose. I didn't need cakes, but I wanted to enjoy the whole social issue of cake and tea with friends, a chocolate with a glass of wine in front of the TV etc. Good for you for looking at ways to deal with it once and for all. I have also found the whole sugar issue a lot easier since the change, so there is some hope there maybe? (Sorry Adrian, not much use to you!) Have you tried anything like the reprogramming hypnotherapy CDs -Paul Mckenna et al?
 
Fabuolous thank you I have downloaded it. Paul mckenna cds jus put me to sleep and never found any benefit (although do use them when i m strugglign with insomnia)
 
Well surprise surprise I am back :) does anyone remember me

This year has seen me do SW / WW the harcombe diet and most recently the no dieting approach of beyond chocolate . Until 5 weeks ago had managed to keep my weight within a 10 pound window but was just hating the dieting or breaking the diet cycle .

But since trying intuitive eating / beyond chocolate although I have not weighed myself every single item of clothing is staring at the seems and I feel rubbish .

I go on holiday 11 weeks today for a massive 50th birthday treat . 3 weeks hols and sadly have just found out I am losing my job in 8 1/2 weeks so can not afford new clothes .

So back to Judd it is going to just start of with 5/2 as has a lot on the next 10 days but then will alternate between 3/4 and alternate days .

I am not going to weigh as it will depress me but suspect I have gained 15 to 20 pounds :-( I don't expect to get all that off before my holiday but just want to be comfortable in my clothes.

Any encouragement welcome
