Maz well done on not cheating! seriously. well done :T
I should not be scale hopping! i jumped on yesterday morning and was the lowest by two pounds my scale has weighed me since starting this diet. then jumped on later and it had gone up by four pounds. i could have cried.
I was really trying to give this 100% so that i could see the bigger losses (nothing big since 1st week) and ni darent even look at how much i should have lost by now. I know it is creeping down but not as it should because clearly i m not doing it as i should!If you dont know where you are going... Any road will take you there :rotfl:0 -
Good Morning Everyone, I am sorry to hear you are all feeling so lousy.
Bounce You have to lose weight, even if you plateau for a while, its not physically possible not too. But no, don't starve yourself, it is very bad for you! The diet is sooo restrictive, its hard, as you read through the threads everyone has up and down days, I don't think anyone on here hasn't had a bad day, you aren't alone!!!! keep plugging at it, you will be so pleased in the end.
Goldy, those mars bars are the devil - Stay away.
PAP, that must be hard to prepare food and not pick at it, I used to work in restaurants and would always be picking, that was where my weight started going on. Glad you are feeling better.
Goals and rewards. My targets on Maz's chart are 3lb a week, which sort of fell apart a bit over the last couple of weeks. My short term goal is to get between 11-12 stone, by my hols, 21st July. My reward will be to have to get new holiday clothes cos I havent been that weight for years and won't have anything to fit me.
I am also due a medical check up in July, the last one was December and I really want to see if my cholesterol level has dropped with the weight loss.
Last winter I bought a lovely retro crochet dress, that would have looked lovely with some long black patent leather boots. Well could I find any that would zip up round my legs, I went everywhere, found a couple of online places but there wasn't much choice.
So would definitley like to reach between 9-10 st by the winter so I can treat myself.
And although I probably shouldn't I also set myself food rewards - it sort of feels easier to say to myself, OK I won't have that toast today, but can have a steak next weekend, if you know what I mean.
princess-
Not sure what I pay, always get a mixture of packs and tetras, plus was buying for hubby too. Have a couple of "free" weeks now, hubby fell off the wagon!!!
Maz- I went out last night drank soda water, gallons of it, stayed of the crisps this time, only just, I know I have food problems. Sometimes. Its not all the time, I am trying to work out my triggers, one of the worst seems to be when I am tired, I just seem to lose all sense of reason and will power.
I can eat until I feel ill.
We don't know of course, how you feel, but if you were already a little p**sed off, it may be what made you feel more like eating than usual, and made it much harder for you to resist and to not obsess. Maybe p**sed offness is one of your eating triggers. Then- because you are really good at being strong on this - you transferred the p**sed offness onto you for feeling like you are out of control. Which by the way you aren't at all, I would have given in if I felt like that!!
Sammy, you are right in what you say, when you are feeling good on CD you can't imagine going back to your old ways and how bloated and lethargic and generally bleugh! it made you feel, (Love that word, thanks Maz) When you are having a bad day, it all just dosent seem worth it, its too hard.
If you do fall off the wagon, my problem is my likelyhood of trying to eat everything I fancied over the last month in 2 days. Which is what I did last week, (I wasn't going to own up, but once I made my mind up to get back on track the next day I ate a whole pack of 4 custard tarts in the afternoon!!!)
Spud, I hope your meltdown wasn't too bad and you are back on track today,
Alf, you shouldnt scale hop during the day. Just get on in the morning, every morning if you want, but you will always go up during the day.
Don't Cry.......
You have the same problem as me, I filled in Maz's chart with my targets, and was really disappointed more with what I should have lost, rather than my gain. I spend too much time nibbling when I look at my chart over the last couple of weeks. The first weeks which were nearly all 100% showed much better losses.
I am trying to set myself up for a good week this week to try and get back on track. My mum is away for another 5 weeks - It would be great to have wasted away to 12 stone by the time she comes back!!!!
On a good note, I lost 6 of my 8lb over the last couple of days, so back on track. Just need to keep it up now.
One day at a time everyone........0 -
Well done on your 6lb Duncan. I recently read an interesting article about overeating and the woman said that she now thinks to herself, how hungry am I on a scale of 1-10. If its 8 or above I will eat something, if its less, I will wait 10 minutes and see if I still think I am hungry. Might have to put that into practice. My triggers - it tastes good, I love eating and am a greedy moo!! Ha ha!!Slimming World: SD: 2.05.16 SW: 13st10lb
Goal: 11st 10lb by my birthday in August

Thanks for the support guys...
Sue i think you are absolutely right about my transferring my p1ssed offness with Big G prior to going, it moved onto being p2ssed off for not eating, is nor firmly back onto p3ssed off at him for coming in at 4am... sober.
insert questions unasked/unanswered here.....?? there are many.
supposed to be going for family meal tonight after weigh in (me, g and erin). Cue Russ abbot! I love a party with a happy atmosphere!!
Spud - call me please... i don't have your mobile...I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -
I cant Maz, I dont have my mobile either. The kids are out, and have it with them because their phones dont have any credit :rolleyes:
I'm OK, promiseIs it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

Spud, this road is not easy......its okay to have meltdowns......I feel its part of the repairing yourself process...you sometimes have to breakdown to ensure you pick yourself up again....
I wish what I wanted to say would come out in my words properly...Quality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford

sammy - what you say does come out properly...
spud - so tell us what happenned in your meltdown?I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -
Not a lot to tell Maz, and what there is sounds pathetic when I write it down.
DH and the kids sat down to a meal together, and I just felt so totally not part of the family. It was a curry, one of our favourite family times, and it got to me big stylie. As soon as it went in the oven, I just started to cry, tried to hide it from them but failed. DD then cried because I was upset, it was awful. The kids were so scared of upsetting me they ate a biscuit in the kitchen.
See, pathetic innit
And Sammy, your words come out perfectlyIs it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:
