When the going gets tough.....the tough get slimmer

[betterforever83]

Well feel a lot better after that little tantrum been for a nice long walk and feel much much more positive now

Have seen a few people mention the dukan true weight test so took it and it gave me 9st 2lb!! bit daunting because i've not been that low in my adult life but i'm going to set it as my goal now while i'm feeling in the zone! Apparently i've got a thin bone structure!!?? who knew? suppose i can't use the 'but i'm big-boned' excuse anymore. I just always presumed i was a 'curvy girl' due to the boobage but in reality i've got quite a boyish figure with no hips or bum to speak of, clearly the excess weight is whats making me look curvier!

So now i've got a clearer image of what i'm aiming for i really hope i can do this. My main aim is to cut out the wobble

Glad you're feeling more positive hun

Going for a walk is a fab way of clearing your head. So pleased you are feeling more positive.
It's always daunting when you have got SO much work to do, but you will get there.

Still feeling positive despite my choc biscuit mini binge last night

But today is a new day and all that jazz so chin up and focus !!! Am off for a brisk walk before work at 1pm then need to decide whether to have lunch before i go and hope work is busy enough to stop me picking or save it til i'm there. Decision decisions! oooh i have such a hard life

hope everyone is well xx

had a bad bad day feel like i haven't stopped eating and to be honest i probably haven't! greedy greedy greedy

On the plus side i'm all stocked up for food over the weekend and i'm determined not to waste money or calories on frivolous fattening treats and if i get a tad hungry i will deal with it! have got so scared of feeling hunger that i only have to have the teeniest rumble and i stuff my face!! There's just no need!

Besides i totally blame my OH for daring to go out without me and leave me to the mercy of the supermarket when i'm hungry! rude!!!!

 

[Squeezyweezy]

Stupid OH!!!!!!!

Fridays binge gave me a really upset stomach all day yesterday (do i ever learn??!) so was well under on my cals yeasterday, probably a little too under, but i'm hoping it won't have a bad effect and will carry on as normal today

Still not feeling 100% so will hopefully stay within cals again but sundays are always a little chaotic with work and not having much food left in the house etc and they never seem to go to plan!
Just gotta resist the pull of the takeaway! tho i haven't drank anything but water and the odd diet coke all weekend so thats gotta be worth a pat on the back
xx

Definite pat on the back for no weekend drinkies the odd random takeout does that to my tummy too

Ah take aways mess with my stomach too. They're not really worth it anymore to me

 

[betterforever83]

nice to know i'm not alone ladies! pain in the backside but i guess the body knows whats best for it and we should take the hint!!!

have come in well under cals again today and still not really hungry, which is nice but really don't want to get into starvation mode been there done that and its what got me into this damn mess in the first place

Oh well will try and conjure up a healthy-ish snack from the bare bones of my cupboards to bump up my numbers then it's on to another day of losing the wobble one day at a time xx

 

[betterforever83]

Have gained 2lb!!!!!!!!! soooooo annoying especially as it was all due to that binge on friday, even tho i was very good sat and sun my body was all out of sync because of the excess fat/sugar/ cals!!!

Still have had a most excellent day today food wise. Under calories for the third day in a row and have even eaten well today- actual vegetables and everything! Plus not even been hungry so yay!

Am turning down nights out left right and centre at the moment. Not sure how i feel bout that tho :/ partly can't afford it, partly don't want to waste cals on booze and a big part of me just doesn't want to!!! is this me getting old? once upon a time i couldn't bear the thought of staying in in case i missed something (i never did!) but now i can't seem to muster up the enthusiasm. it doesn't help that my friends only ever want to got to the same places with the same people at the same time! We don't like change in this town

Went over by 44cals today! oooops! no big deal and first time i've been in the red since sat! Feeling a little thinner/less bloated today and am determined to stay off the scales until monday and (fingers crossed) will have a pleasant surprise in store

Have really put the effort in so far this week..............normally i pretend to put the effort in, scoff naughties everyday because 'one or two won't hurt' then moan when i sts or gain! Really want this to be it for my dieting life. Just want to be happy with how i look and stop over examining every morsel and meal i have. It's tiring constantly counting and i know that once i'm at goal i can still watch what i eat maintain and not count every calorie. It's what i've done for the last 6 months since my initial loss in jan/feb!

My idea of 'dieting' includes cheating.......A LOT! So if i can atually do it right for the next few months, lose the chub then ii know i can get back to my life and eating well 70% of the time but still enjoying my treats! cos thats what its about after all.

Not sure any of that made sense but had to get in down in black and white

evening all!

Not such a good day today woke up feeling a bit iffy -headachey and generally grumpy- but that might me due to cutting down on sugar for a couple of days. even my trusty diet coke :0!!! but feel much better now even tho i did go down the naughty route of 4 chocolate biscuits to get there

Still am under cals again but do feel a bit woblly like i'm going to binge any minute!! must stay busy and motivated to get me through til bed time

Am desperate for a decent loss this week

 

[Legomom]

Quick run a bath!!! You'll have to run dripping an naked to get to the biscuit tin then lol works for me!!

Hahahaha i like your style Legomom!! tho i would prob just take the biscuits with me, you know, in case of emergency! mmmmm soggy biscuits

Woke up with the headache again- just trying no to let my hypochondria kick in now - but other wise back to feeling motivated gain! Hopefully yesterdays minor slip up won't set me back too much.

Really feeling this weight loss thing this week but am sooooo tempted to step on the scales to see if my judgement is right but i 'll try not to.

Have spent the afternoon lugging my living room furniture around , to hoover and try and make more space in my cute but teeny house! and the verdict is.........it didn't work! i'm afraid only new furniture is the answer we moved from a much bigger place and had 2 three seater sofas and they just don't fit, so have done my reserach and found a gorgeous two seater and matching cuddle chair.........in pink!!!! Hopefully going to go and look at them tomorrow! just might not mention colour to OH God i'm getting old if this is what gets my blood pumping!

Still am hoping that and my afternoon walk will be enough excercise to make a difference. my arms are certainly aching enough!
Got work in an hour so early tea for me then plenty of water til bedtime YAY!!! xx

 

[Squeezyweezy]

A pink cuddle chair. I literally cannot think of anything more fabulous. Don't mention it to OH then when it arrives act shocked and say, "oh, it didn't look pink when I viewed it, must be the light in our living room!"
Teeeheeeeheee

Well thats one pink cuddle chair purchased only 6 weeks (ish) til it's delivered Oh well something to look forward to!

Unfortunately stopped for tea on the way home and i succumbed to the fish and chips, which were delicious but have put me well over on cals so plenty of water tonight(plus plenty of peeing which equals running up and down stairs!) to hopefully undo some damage.

BBQ at mum's tomorrow night and out to watch a friend sing at a local pub on sunday so a busy weekend to look forward to and many excuses to go off plan..........but i'm not gonna and no one can make me i can diet and have a life, can't i?

Hope all is well xx

 

[Legomom]

Ooh chair sounds great!! How ever did you convince the OH lol?

Good luck with the weekend of temptation I'm SOOO rubbish at BBQ's. It's all so good!!!
