V.quick update as need to go for a shower before acu apt.
Not a great food (or drink) week but loving time with the family and enjoying some time at home - Staycation it's the way forward
Went for a run yesterday morning to shift the sluggish feeling which worked really well. There was a heavy morning mist and I stopped for a few minutes by the lake and there were two swans that just slowly paddled their way towards me, so serene and tranquil! Took some pics and will post a couple up later as it was a lovely moment.
Hoping for a frantic afternoon on the wii with nephew so hoping to burn of some energy and calories then!
Hope everyone has a good day. I am on fruit, lots of water and porridge until a BBQ this evening. Honestly my FIL loves his gas BBQ as much as his family!
Have a great day everyone xxx

Acu appointment was good, have been put on a daily regimen of Chinese herbs from day 1 of my next cycle up until we start treatment - 4 different types of pills depending on which day I am on in my cycle. Am already confused and haven't started them yet and fingers crossed it takes my mind off food. Mind you with the cost of them I don't have any money left for food!
Food choices have been not so good, in fact they have been disgraceful. Weekend away from tomorrow but am really trying to be better than I have been, but am finding it hard.
Good point from wearing smaller clothes is that I take up less space in the weekend away bag but am worried that as I have put on 6 or so lbs clothes will look too tight. I feel bloated and that my face has puffed up - hey ho - however most people I am seeing this weekend I haven't seen for over a year so they will see some changes...
Started the 1 December challenge today, but am going to not make any progress over the weekend so will be back with avengence on Monday.
Hope everyone has a great weekend xxx

Woohoo. Well done
I just love running in the morning. It's my favourite time of the day, and it's like getting a head start on the rest of the world for the day. Love it.

Hey Hunnie, long time no speak. Hope you're well. Sounds like a complex regime with the pills, but it's good that it's all moving forward. Am impressed with the early morning. You're better than me!!!
I'll have a look for the challenge - couldn't find it earlier though. If you get a min or anyone else knows where it is, please let me know.
Speak soon xxx

I am here :wave_cry:
Have actually started to post a couple of times but things have got in the way ie. 'someone' looking over my shoulder on the sofa and then my iphone freezing today at work when I was going to post a quick update!
Week off and time with family was great. Had a wonderful long weekend in London, although the realisation that I (nor my friends) am/ are no longer 21 was a toughie - I cannot function on 2 hrs sleep!
I know that my food choices whilst on holiday were poor, the portions were huge and we ate out a lot. But, it has been my choices since going back to work that are concerning me.
I.Just.Can't.Stop
biscuits, chocolates, cereal, extras at lunch, fruit, coffees, eating whilst cooking tea - I am over indulging in everything :sigh:
The only thing I haven't gone back to is bread and hard cheese, but the pittas are taking a hammering at times and I polished off a tub of light Philly the other night.
My morning weight is around 12.9 and my evening weight when I get in from work is 12.13
My clothes are tighter, my boobs have filled out a bit, and an extra chin is coming back.
BUT, I know what I have to do - I have to say NO, make some positive choices to NOT overeat or just have another choc or another biscuit.
I have been making soup since the weekend. Have some roast butternut squash & carrot in the freezer and just made some sweet potato & carrot tonight.
So plan is this, from now, this minute today...
Breakfasts - Porridge + cinnamon + 1/2 banana
Lunch - Soup + small salad from work canteen
Dinner - Soup + protein + veg
Snacks - Fruit + Alpen Bar

One of the realisations I had whilst on CD was the difference between Wanting and Needing. I need to bring that back into focus, read some of my early posts, get some perspective.
I know I posted earlier on Bess's thread about where I was this time last year and what I would've given then to be like I am now. I just need to focus on that and not sabotage these wonderful changes I have made. I think when I started WW last October I was 17st something, so yeah wow, remember that.
I have been lurking over the past couple of weeks, and I didn't think I was avoiding updating my diary but I think I was. It isn't about the food is it, it is about the decisions and choices. The biscuit has gone - the decision to eat it remains. I had a kit kat and three chocolates from the team tin at work today, and I turned my back from the office and hid what I was doing. My immediate team members were out of the office so who was I hiding from? I think I will pass over responsibility for the biscuit and sweet tin at work to someone else tomorrow - I am not responsible at the moment!!!
Thanks for your posts. I feel much better being back x

Am thinking about doing a SS+ for a couple of weeks. Working out my dates, I don't think my treatment will start until late January, in about 3 months. I will drop my CDC a note today and I might pick up some shakes and tetras - just to give me a bit of focus again on losing weight. Something must be happening as I have only just realised that I haven't weighed myself this morning.
I am putting weight on, not maintaining so I need a focus on losing weight again.
I have a full pan of soup so will freeze half and eat half over the next few days whilst I reintroduce CD packs.
Feel pretty good about this, like a positive decision to get my head back in the right place.
Happy Thursday everyone x

I'm glad you've checked in.
You know one things that scares me about this program, and it's only from my own experience was how quickly I started to think about going back onto CD when I needed to lose weight. I don't think it's necessary. I know what I need to, eat well and exercise and whilst the fast weight loss of CD is great (almost addictive), I'm at the stage now where the best thing for me is to just eat sensibly, and to learn to reign things back in if I've been overindulging. We can be in control eating normal food...

This was me a few days ago. It'll pass, it really will and you'll get your focus back, it's frightening though isn't it? Tiny tiny steps are the way forward I think.Just one biscuit less is real progress for me somtimes.

Hi all, thanks for your comments.
Laura - that is so how I feel! I just wish I had been able to stay on SS for another few weeks to get lower and closer to a normal BMI. I feel so close to the upper threshold of overweight it scares me, but I do want to conquer this eating normally and I know the bump coming off CD is there again.
Just calculating my weight in lbs and it is 180 which is only 4lbs above the target on my ticket but seems miles away from where I was. I feel like I am bursting out of my clothes and only had soup and salad for lunch.
After ruminating on it, I am not going to call my CDC and am going to give myself the chance to do this. Colleague at work is starting a 4 week focussed eating from Monday and we do seem to pick at the same time!
So good day so far, except work porridge smelt like soup and tasted blah. Homemade soup and a small salad and some grapes for lunch. Am at acu this evening so will have pitta with ham and a small porridge for an early tea before I go. Then ask her to tune a needle into my brain to turn off the eating signals (if only!)
thanks ladies, best get back to work, hope you are all havi g a great day x
