Well I am afraid that week five is being a real challenge. The mind set is changing and I am thinking of refeeding. I am bored now and have therefore started the 'picking' of an evening. All week I have had 2 shakes a day evenings seem to have involved nibbling nuts and crystallised ginger!!! Why I have no idea. 
.
As a result of this in and out of ketosis. Don't feel hungry, just bored! Eating plays a significant role in my social life! As a result probably lost no more than 1lb. So feeling p@@@ed off! Girr!
I want to get below 12st and currently 5lb to go. Part of me feels I could take a break for a week but I know it will be an even greater struggle to get back into it. Hubby just said Ill bring a bottle of wine home!! Fridays have always been a challenge anyway!
I will have my shake as normal this morning and I need to fight this!

Come on Elaine, you know what's best and the longer you mess about the more chance you have of falling off the wagon completely and not refeeding properly which would be a real shame. You probably only need another 2-3 weeks doing tfr and you'll be sorted. Crack on luv, so close to the finish line makes it more difficult sometimes, but I'm sure you can do it! x x x
Well it has finally happened, I knew it would, now the guilt starts and the lbs will shoot up overnight, all because of a quiche and diet coke. :sigh2::break_diet: Been fighting the demons all day and now they are laughing at me!
I will have to start again tomorrow, Sunday but more likely monday....I might as well finish it off with a glass of rioja and have a hangover as well!:flamingmad:

Elaine, have you read the Fred thread? http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-forum/302242-all-about-fred-changing-habits-using-fred.html
You knew it would happen?! Your bad Fred is challenging you. Try not to make it worse by throwing in the towel to start again on Monday. A glass of wine or even a bottle is not going to sort out the reasons why this has happened. The longer you go off course, the worse you are going to feel and the harder it will be to get back in control. Spend some time working out why the demons are here. Get mad. Cry. Do what you need to do and ask yourself the hard questions. Write the hard questions down and the answers too if you can. These are the important things, not the quiche and diet coke, otherwise you will keep going around this destructive cycle, chipping away at yourself. You were doing so well, halfway to your target. Does that scare you?
I'm on your side x x x

Just read link. Thank you. Fred needs shooting. I think I needed to 'blow out'. At the moment I feel like getting back on track tomorrow. In my head it will happen. But I am under no illusion it will be hard. Hopefully doing this will get me back to focusing on the weight loss. Eating **** hasn't been the enjoyable experience. However realistically I knew it wouldn't be. Felt I just had to do it. Tomorrow is the start of my next 4 weeks to target. Thanks xx
Well it happened! Headspace is fine and now I am determined to begin again. It is likely to take a couple of days to get back onto ketosis and already started with the dull headache! No cooking for the family and early nights again this week. But I will be fine. As teapot states, I am half way to goal. Still in size14s and overall feel fine. Fred is definitely back in his box for the time being.....the little devil. Lol

Well done Elaine, so pleased you're back on track today. Brilliant that you've managed to dodge cooking duty for the week and you've got some support at home. Fred always tries to do what's best for 'him' not you - you've got to be consciously selfish for a while to make sure that you do what's best for you. Keep posting and let us know how you're getting on x x x
Thank you teapot for your fantastic support. However, I have now decided, for the time being anyway, that I am going to refeed properly and see how far I get. I still wish to lose at least another 18lb to get down to 11st. however, that seems a lot easier to achieve than my original 41lb I started with. Thinking of following slimming world programme over the next few weeks, although I might get back into this in a weeks or so. I feel my whole life has been on hold for the past five weeks and I want to start living it again, without thinking about not eating. I feel I have missed out on so many events with friends etc and so anti social. Good luck everyone who continues, it takes guts and determination. However, I am sure i will be back at some stage. Best wishes Elaine
