That's the good news. The bad news is that I left WI in such a childish grump, and bought a tescos pizza. Wouldn't be the end of the world- would have taken me to my BMR in cals for the day. But then OH came home and ordered a Dominoes (same text). I had a 'personal pizza' and HALF A BEN AND JERRYS TUB OF ICE CREAM.
So my cals for today were something like 2000 over my goal. I am not sure how I feel at the moment, I am a bit confused to be honest. Going off to think about things...

I think maybe eating the pizza last week made you feel you could get away with it? And after getting Slimmer of the Month too- there are other ways to celebrate!
I must admit, I am finding this week a struggle too. My friend sent me some chocolate from home which I received on Tuesday... and I ate all of it at lunchtime. I managed to reduce my food for the day and exercise it so I was 'within' cals but I was still really annoyed with myself for eating it all at once. That was a major issue for me before- not binging but kind of compulsive eating. I find it really hard to leave sweet foods alone once I have them and have to eat them all at once. I generally try to avoid having them in the house and to buy them one at a time if I fancy one. The only positive is, I've checked the scales and it doesn't seem to have done any damage but still... if I don't learn to leave sweet foods alone, I have a feeling I will be going around and around in circles with my eating.
I was also aiming to do 40 lengths in the pool last night and only managed 26. I don't know- I just didn't want to be there, I felt really p!ssed off and I knew the Koreans nearby were talking about me so I got really aggravated and got out. And I'll admit, I'm still quite annoyed with myself.
I have however, started downloading some Zumba DVDs since that sounds really fun and since that is apparently good for toning too.
I think having gotten in to the 12s and being about 'half-way'ish, it seems a bit psychologically harder. Despite how far I've come, knowing that I've still got a way to go is hard. And I know it sounds silly, but I'm really worried about getting to goal and finding that I haven't changed that much at all and that I still have a flabby tummy and wobbly thighs. Losing weight is held up as the be-all of having the 'perfect' body and I am discovering that it's not and I don't know... it just feels like I've got so much more to do before I get to where I want to be. Thinking about it has made it a bit overwhelming sometimes. This is generally why I aim for smaller goals, but I think I've been too busy focusing on the bigger picture of 'Oh, get to the BIG goal, then we'll see what exercise needs doing' etc etc and thinking about things like 'Using the gym will be easier when I move home. Maybe I can get a personal trainer when I move home. Maybe I can get some proper swimming lessons when I move home'... I would like to point out that I have no plans to move home until 2014.
I really need to focus on the here and now. My goals for this week include losing 1lb, doing two more runs on my elliptical, going for a walk and buying some running shoes and to stick to my 1350 calories a day. I think maybe by focusing on this, I'll stop worrying about the big stuff.
Anyway, I started today well- healthy breakfast of a Poached Egg and I'm 500ml of water down.
I do that, look at the end goal which I HAVE to reach by that date or I'm in masses of trouble, and I panic, one day/meal at a time. The eating of sweet things in one go is probably eating then all to get them out the way, you know you shouldn't be doing it so why don't you ask your friend to send you something else? Something you can resist?
I ate my exercise cals back last night, not something I usually do but I was hungry after running about all day, got another busy day today and I'm not feeling too great I must admit, I'm aching all over and my chest feels tight, weig in on Friday I really hope I've lost, I've checked MFP and I have done everything I need to to lose at least a pound so if I don't lose I don't know why.
Hahaha Sue I know what you mean. One of my colleagues is sitting opposite me right now with three slices of white toast (we get free food here, the kitchen is full of it to munch at any time) dripping in butter and covered in jam, marmite and peanut butter respectively. I guess temptation is always going to be there in one guise or another. You can't remove the tempation, but you can change how you respond to i....oh bugger, who am I kidding. Grrrrr

I'm pleased. It's taking me a long time, but it's all good.
Good job Bonnie! Sounds like you've got a plan to deal with it! And fab news about the trousers. I can't tell you how great I find it that all my clothes are loose on me now! Hoping to be a 14 when I head home in February- and I have never been a 14!
