Evening all,
Just thought I would pop in and say how proud I am of myself.
It was my grandsons 5 th birthday party today, 30 kids in a church hall:eek:. I love party food, especially birthday cake with icing and I was mainly responsible for preparation. I didn't touch a thing, not even a crumb of birthday cake, not even a batman cupcake with blue icing. This was a massive thing for me, huge and I can honestly say I wasn't even tempted.
I'm so on track just now, I really feel I may get to goal:DStarted Self Managed DMP 10th May 2017.
Working hard to get rid of our debt.0 -

Stood on the scales this morning, and I'm 2lbs less than on Friday!
Unfortunately it's not a real loss, I had a very dodgy tummy yesterday, it ached something awful all day, so was too scared to eat anything while out (the old thing of no toilets while at work)
I had muesli at 6am, then more muesli at 5pm while waiting for boys and their friend to come home. I thought they would be eating with me, but they all decided at about 7.30pm to eat at the friends.
I don't know why I bother waiting on them (well maybe I do, it's the thought they might bring pizza home...I hate it when I've had my healthy salad and then they turn up with pizza, I feel like I've missed out :rotfl:)
Anyway, no pizza, and I had a very silly plate of rice pudding so that I wasn't going to bed hungry.
Was meant to be car booting today but it looked too wet. of course, now that I've made the decision not to go, it's brightening up a bit! Will probably take it all to the charity shop next week, begrudging the money a bit though, would have quite liked to sell some of it

That's mega impressive zippy, well done :T
Are you going to celebrate? Doesn't have to be food, an evening out, or something nice to wear maybe?
Thank you everyone, I'm still smilingI'd not thought to celebrate, I thought it would take me a couple more weeks so a big surprise stepping on the scales. I have 9lb to go so will think of something nice for then
It does feel a waste giving away good clothes, I've given most of mine stuff to the charity shop too just so it's out of the house quickly, I take the m&s stuff to Oxfam though to get their £5 recycle voucher I can at least put that towards new undies.
I made some nice muffins yesterday with aldi's 59p rhubarb, lowish fat and 213 calories each, which could be lowered as I'll use less sugar in the crumble topping next time I think and try with raspberries.

I would say getting to your target after doing so well merits a proper treat. Without knowing your circumstances (like kids, work, finances), if it was me I'd be thinking of a weekend away, with some nice walks during the day and meals in the evening.
In fact, you're giving me ideas
I'm ashamed to say I've got some rather nice clothes with the labels still on them in my bags to go out. Never ever again am I buying anything which doesn't fit *right now*...no more thinking "oh, I'll diet into it" :mad:
Some of it just got too big before I ever wore it.
I know I used to think that finding the perfect item would make me look good..I've finally realised that that's just silly, and there's nothing wrong with what I already have.
Car boot or no car boot, it's all going...my newly decorated bedroom doesn't need a stuffed full wardrobe
I've re-educated myself about clothes...I buy very little now. The only thing I'll need to buy the rest of this year is underwear.
The ice cream van has stopped right outside my house...I'm ignoring it!

I've also got some clothes that didn't 'quite' fit when I got them home from the shop but no way was I going back to get the next size up :eek:
I tried a few on the other day and they're now a bit baggy but I'm determined to wear them at least once before I pass them to the charity shop :rotfl:
My work pants are seriously worrying me now though...they are at the point that if I walk upstairs or run for the bus I have to hold them up as I'm positive they're going to fall down at any minute!! I have 3 pairs of the next size down, but they're not comfortable enough to wear all day yet0
