I've eaten more than I meant to today. I was very restrained during the day, but I had already decided that one day a week I would have homemade chips and a packet of crisps. Didn't intend for them to be the same day, and I had a few sweets. Oh well, it was for one day only

Tomorrow is another day

sorry i missed your birthday Betty... belated many happy returns x

Todays been a very bad food day. will try to get back on track on sunday but dont feel like im the right frame of mind tbh. Friday I bought a tin of biscuits, i opened them up, had one out of it, got the guilt trip, so phoned a pal and told her i was coming round for a brew, was bringing a tin of biscuits and that she was going to confiscate them, which she did :-)
then tonight the guilt had subsided, and I deliberately went back to the shop just to buy another flaming tin and then scoffed the lot within about half an hour :-(
Kick Here -> ME <- Kick Here
I just seem to be battling in my head all the time at the moment, ever little thing reminds me of food...was out walking the dog tonight listening to a quiz on the radio and there was some question about regions of India that were merged together and one of the regions was madras, all i could picture in my head on the walk home was blummin' curry.

Ted we all get days like that. Mark it down as a bad day and try your best to be better tomorrow, do some more exercise than you normally would and maybe be extra good.

This is not a hurdle in a sprint - just a minor blip in the 20k road walk race.

Hello!

I just thought I would say hi. I have been reading through this thread and you all sound like a friendly, motivated and supportive bunch so I am toying with asking if I can join in!

I am feeling rather helpless having got off the scales a few days ago (nearly fell off) at my weight gain. It has been due to my moving less and eating more unhealthily funnily enough. This has mostly been due to pretty severe anaemia and depression but some super unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours thrown in for a laugh! Also, dwindling social life and too much time on the computer. I used to dance salsa a few times a week but can barely walk down the road now!

I used to do SW years ago but got bored of it , well having self discipline probably, plus being organised, but when I did do it I lost and kept off several stones.

I am feeling like I need to loose weight for my sense of sense worth, health and vanity (I love clothes) plus my sister is getting married (I am to be a bridesmaid!) and I want my boyfriend to fancy me again!

I reckon need to loose five stone. I weigh 17 stones 7 lbs and at 5 ft 9 inches that is toooooooo much. I intend to make a Doctors appointment on Monday to see if I can get any support, particularly as I am not working and money is tight! May have to wait a fortnight to get to see them though.

I battle with energy, mostly because of the other health conditions I mentioned, but need to do something. Sorting my anemia has to be done first before I can start exercise though but the eating healthily can start tomorrow if I can just decide which route/ methodology to follow! (I am trying to purposely NOT use the dreaded "D" word and this would have me flying out to the kitchen to eat that last piece of cake!).

Thank you if you have read this.

Hi everyone! I started my 'diet' on Monday, I vowed to only weigh myself once a week, but broke that vow yesterday and weighed myself, lost 2lbs already! Havent started exercising yet, but my 'game' for the Kinect arrived yesterday and I'm looking forward to giving it a try

its important to have feeding days, even in the BL house they take every 6-7th day off and eat 40-50% extra cals to stop themselves going into starvation mode

just dont get carried away

and you can eat curry with no problem, a tandori mixed grill with rice is pretty low cal for a take away

Don't be so hard on yourself! Just look at what you've achieved so far - one tin of biscuits isn't going to ruin that! Everybody gets bad days and you've just had ONE! Just get back up, dust the biscuit crumbs off, count it as a very flexi day and start again! No kicks from me - just a big, big hug!:grouphug:

Can I be brave and disagree with this statement? Not everyone gets days like these. (I'm not talking a little pig out, but buying a whole 2nd box of biscuits and eating them in half an hour)
Some people in life, and on here, have specifc food and binging issues whch makes losing weight a tougher journey. And plays with your head much more.
I don't want puddings to see those of us in RL or on here who don't do this and think if we can manage not to, them he must be just weak or lack self dicipline (neither of those is true puddings).

You just have a tougher battle and you (and all with this issue) have my total respect and support. The fact you can come on here and 'confess' is fantastic. And you can see how we are all rooting for you. No one is going to be kicking butt.
Beating yourself up is understandable, but feeling bad about yourself and self loathing is may lead to doing it again?

Big welcome lexa:T

Lolly - I did atkins 9 yrs ago. Great at first if you love meat and cheese but it just isn't sustainable long term so doesn't resolve unhealthy eating patterns long term and all the weight goes back on.
