OH has a routine whereby if he loses x amount each week (whatever his own personal goal is) then he has a day off on Sunday and eats whatever he wants. Problem was, so did I.

My problem is that hubby is training for the Edinburgh marathon next month & he needs a lot to eat. Unfortunately, I think I can (& do) match his eating even though I'm a lazy slug in comparison!! No wonder I have a weight problem!!

The stockings... just another 'control' feature which I fight against as a matter of course. Whilst lying under the knife for an hour may not be the best thing for one's health :rotfl: the combination of plastic mattress, plastic pillows, locked windows, mega hot wards and stockings would have killed me off. Some nurse told me off for walking in bare feet (something I done my whole life, and don't actually own a pair of slippers) on the basis that I 'might fall' - my reply was 'but I might not'.

Anyway, I survived, sans stockings and now sans appendix.

Just came back to say that there's a recipe for Chocolate Chip Muffins here:

LOL.

We always have sunday roasts. Had them when I was a kid and am trying to follow on the tradition with my son. Though it was tough this weekend - son and hubby had roast chicken, I had a weird packet potato pie thing. With the same veg as them. But my god, that chicken smelt good.

Still, I feel in the zone. Done three days so far and lost 2lb. Really starting to understand that I dont' need the portion sizes that I've been chowing on; it's quite stunning how small amounts can actually fill you up if you give it time after the meal - instead of diong what I usually do and stufffin gmy face with cheese and nuts after I've finished.

And though I wouldn't be doing this extreme diet if I weren't desperate, it's secretly rather thrilling to be having things like chocolate and pear mousse and hot chocolate and pizza, even if they do come out of a packet. Been so long since I've eaten sinful things like that, I'm almost enjoying it all...

post was meant for my diet support thread

my weight loss is about the same on lower carb diet as it was before as i would expect since the calorie intake is exactly the same

however I have terrible eczema on my forehead and lower legs and it has drastically improved since i have been eating a lot of healthy oil

bloods tomorrow ...

Today was mostly LC - apart from the sliced mango I've just eaten, seem to have a craving for the juiciness and taste.

Apart from that stuck to regime, even had decaf coffee as I ventured out to M&S today (only about quarter of a mile to the Haymarket one) and brought back some double cream. Walk was 'interesting' and very warm. Not so much sore as really uncomfortable and very slow, however I really enjoyed being outside again. Have to admit that carrying shopping home wasn't the best idea I've had in the world... won't do that again anytime soon.
