Artytarty

Poor self control is my problem.

Artytarty take one meal / one day at a time and try not to beat yourself up about it    Draw a line under it and start again and if things go pear shape we have a naughty step  i was speaking to my sister earlier and we were both saying we were fed up of still doing this but the alternative isn't so great, I've  joint pains and a bad family history of high blood pressure and heat problems.  I'm happier thinner I know I'm never going to be a size 8 but would love to get back into my size 12 skinny jeans which are hiding under the bed

Toni I hope the trip to the hairdressers went ok and wasn't too stressful.  I found mine took all the right precautions and know he's asthmatic as well so neither of us wanted to take risks

I'm not sure what I ate to disagree with me yesterday other than using all the flavoured butter which came with the sea bass (I have no gall bladder) but I was awake during the night with stomach cramps which carried on into today.  I wasn't ill otherwise and may have felt better if I had.  So today has been a day of crackers and a banana.  I feel better than I did so hoping to sleep it off tonight 

Molly41

Brambling  - I sympathise as I too used to suffer dreadful stomach cramps before my resection as the food used to get stuck - horrible - hope you feeling better x
Debbie - well done on your loss thats brilliantx
Usual can't sleep oh well! Got a virtual appointment for Eating Disorders on Monday so hope it will be helpful. 
Not much to say today, Hope you all have a good day xx

Good morning, All 
 
Brambling sorry to hear you were unwell, I hope you are feeling better now.

May I be terribly rude? and suggest that you do eat quite a lot of cake. Cake (as I well know from personal experience 😭*) is a complete demon 👹👿, it looks so pretty and innocent, it tastes de-licious and beguiles us to make it, eat it and enjoy it. Then it turns itself into fat and clings like a limpet to all the places we don’t want it. Now, you can throw me off the waggon and refuse to let me back on ever, but I’ve sympathised with your struggles to lose weight over the last year, and also read about your cake habit and it’s seemed rather contradictory.

*At the end of May, I was going well, then I had my birthday, and some cake, and then some random slices of Comfort Cake, and put on half a stone. It was easy, oh so easy,  but shifting it has been hard.

 
Yesterday’s meeting went well, it’s lovely to talk to friends face-to-face. I was very restrained and had just a toasted teacake with no spread, and brought the butter home with me.
 

Today’s menu
B : grapefruit, oatcakes with Marmite
L : hm celery soup with toast (if I buy bread when I take Senior Doggy to the vet’s (checkup), otherwise more oatcakes); cinnamon yogurt
D : cheese omelette with salad; yogurt with blueberries

Happy Wednesday, everyone! 

Toni'sfriend

Hope you're feeling better, Brambling. The hairdresser was great, She knew I was quite nervous and didn't book in any other clients whilst I was there. The salon is quite small and she's limiting clients to two at a time anyway. And she never stopped cleaning and disinfecting. It felt very safe unlike the famous pub chain next door which was very busy and no masks being worn by staff. If I was in the habit of going there (which I'm not) I would be avoiding it.

So today:

Breakfast: Banana and watermelon
Lunch: Mozzarella salad
Dinner; Beef olives and veg done in the slow cooker

*zippy*

Sorry a late check in 0.5 lb loss last week, thanks Brambling, hope you're now feeling better xx

Morning Losers,

I've not been around much lately.  No excuse, I've just been spending far too much time on my tablet.  Having reached my target for this quarter I've been taking things a bit easy.  Not going mad and not putting anything on, but not getting anything off either.  
As you know, I'm not doing anything too draconian.  Not ruling out any food, but eating smaller portions, relishing every mouthful and stopping when I have had enough.  It sounds easy, but it's harder than it seems.  It's the stopping when I've had enough that gets me every time.  My stomach is saying, "whoa! I don't need any more. Prise your fingers away from that fork."  My mouth is saying, "My goodness, this is SO delicious, it would be a waste to leave it."
Sigh.

Slow down everyone.  Take time to smell the roses.  Just don't eat them.
