The new me diary....

[Foo Fan]

I've had a good read through my old threads/post on minimins today - this time last year I was 5lb from goal (so aprox 9st 5lb) and now I'm 2 stone from goal!!!

I really feel like I've let myself go - weight, looks etc... Possibly now cos I'm in a good relationship and I don't have to put make up on to sit around the house and I can put my hair back in a ponytail and it doesn't bother Lee...
But I've got a bit lazy because of it...

We don't go out very often cos were happy to stay in and spend time with each other but it means that I've not had 2 dress up in ages. As I've mentioned before most of my nice clothes no longer fit - actually NONE of them fit ATM.

I feel rubbish

Oh 'eck!! Sounds like you need a good talking to lady!! .. Give yourself one (if you'll pardon the expression ) and get your finger out!! x

 

[summergurl]

Ouch Sarah, that looks very painful. No wonder you are so down about it. I can't suggest anything though, sorry. I hope you get it sorted soon though!

And yes, kick up the bum needed for you! :giggle: xx

 

[Foo Fan]

Thank Tanya, kick up the bum appreciated!!

Feeling a bit better today - there's no point feeling sorry for my self!

I'm following WW pro-points again properly from tomorrow - will weigh at boots tomorrow.

I've just got an iPhone app that counts points and scans barcodes - so I'll use this and weigh in boots rather than paying £20 a month for WW membership.

I've just got new measuring scales for the kitchen and weighed out all my food ready for tomorrow - looks like I've been over estimating my portion sizes.

Menu for tomorrow -

B -Asda raisin and almond crunch 75g - 8pp
300ml skimmed milk (through out the day) - 3pp

L - Cous cous 130g (cooked weight) - 5pp
Coleslaw 33g - 1pp
Cherry tomatoes - 0pp
Lettuce - 0pp

D - WW lemon chicken risotto - 9pp

Daily used - 26pp
Weeklies remaining - 49pp (Tuesdays start of week)

Good luck for getting back on track. I know it's not easy but just take it a day at a time. Try and avoid trigger foods/ drinks that you know will make you overeat.

 

[Foo Fan]

Menu today -

B - Costa skinny hot chocolate - 5pp (using milk allowance for the day)
Fruit salad - 0pp

L - WW Lemon chicken risotto - 9pp

D - 1/2 pack pasta n sauce - mild cheese and broccoli - 6pp (might have a full pack as a meal on it's own - 12pp)

Going to the gym straight from work tonight

 

[irish molly]

Looking good apart from brekkie. It may be you just fancied that today but it might not be filling enough. A more protein based brekkie might keep you fuller for longer.
Good luck for the day. Enjoy your exercise tonight.

Thinking of TFR again.... I'm really fed up that my clothes are not fitting and I don't the that WW is going to make enough of a difference quick enough..
At the moment I'm living in leggings and baggy t-shirt (that are not that baggy now)
I don't have to wear business dress for work so I haven't for a while - so I tried one of my shift dresses on yesterday and it doesn't fit!! I knew my going out clothes were 2 small now but not the clothes I was wearing everyday up to 2 months ago.

I'm thinking of Cambridge (done previously) so I can go and weigh with a councillor and get support... Plus I really like the chocolate tetras.

Don't feel like I want to do exante as I would be doing it alone...

So stressed out at the moment!

Hi Guys,

Just to update I have decided to start CD... I have thought long and hard about this as I was determine not to do any kind of TFR diet in 2012.

However I am worried that I am going to gain more weight if I don't take drastic measures now.

I have an appointment with a new Cambridge councilor at 7pm and will update accordingly - I never usually weigh in the evening so I prepared for my weight to be quite a bit higher from my weighed on Tuesday morning of 11st 1lb.
I will start the shakes tomorrow and hopefully arrange my next appointment for the morning so I get a more accurate WI.

I'm going to start a new diary in the CD section and will post the link asap. Sorry to leave you guys on this part of the forum but I will be back as your all wonderful and so supportive.

Right, I'm off to start my new diary...........:wave_cry:

 

[irish molly]

Best of luck with your new start. It will probably be a big help to have a counsellor. Some one on one support may help you identify where you can improve diet and lifestyle.
A new thread is also a great idea. New start and all that plus you will have the support of other CDers.

Best of luck . I'm sure you'll be back on maintenance very soon.

Best of luck lovely, you have a wonderful fella to support u too so fingers crossed this will be the last tfr you do x x

Hi there,

I just wanted to say I understand how you're feeling with your weight, clothes etc and it will soon be just an unpleasant memory I'm sure...

17 months ago I was at my heaviest (I'm 5ft 2" and I weighed 12st 10lb. I was so unhappy with being that weight that I literally HATED myself. Nothing in my wardrobe fit, and when I bought anything new, I felt everything looked disgusting. I stopped going out, wearing makeup, doing my hair, and generally stopped giving a monkeys about me full stop. I was quite depressed with it all so undecided enough was enough- I wasn't prepared to be unkind to myself any more and I took control!

I'm 2 stone lighter now (thanks to Slimming World), and still have a way to go, but my quality of life and happiness within myself is unbelievable. I wear makeup every day, do my hair, love buying new clothes, socialise loads more and have just become a nicer, much more confident person.

The compliments I get keep me going, it's such a buzz. You WILL get there when you're ready, it is hard to get started sometimes but as you know it gets easier once you start to see results.

I wish you all the very best in whichever weight loss programme you choose. Keep your chin up and don't be afraid to seek help, support and advice. We're all here to help
