Delly another message for you from me!
I have had to lose weight because of my health, the GP wants to put me on Xenical like my mum (not that I eat an awful lot of fatty foods) . but I have so far resisted because I have managed to lose with a low fat diet and exercise. I do think however I may have to look at it for a period in the new year because I am finding it harder.
Reductil helps you fight your demons when it comes to food and sometimes we all need an extra weapon.
I have a maintain to report this week, I think I was jinxed by the girls at class for getting slimmer of the year lol.Weight loss since 01/08/07 - 72 lbs:j0 -

jules - thanks for your message. My GP did offer Xenical again but since I'd been on it before I just couldn't bear the side effects again. As I've said, I don't have a very high fat diet in general, I snack on a lot of rubbish and binge and comfort eating are real demons for me. The Reductil, for me, seems to help get rid of my desire to binge eat and find different ways to deal with my emotions. For example, I was totally upset about my WI result yesterday becasue of the mistakes from the week before and as a first instinct, I bought a bag of liquorice allsorts to eat. I ate 2 or 3 sweets and ended up putting the rest into my dog's treats jar cos I just didn't want them. (long may this behaviour continue).
Thanks for the chart brighton belle you're doing an ace job!Goal for 09: Get fit and foxy. target weight 11st. 5/80.Get out of dead end job and work for career I always wanted.0 -
I bought some slim-a-tea from H&B and its fantastic it gets all the crap out of your guts and definitely makes you feel slimmer and a few lbs lighterI have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something0

:j Hi
just got weighed lost 2lb have alot of parties coming up so hope to stay the same next week0 -
Salmon stir fry sounds lovely Victory, what is it about it do you think won't fill you up? I'm not sure which plan you're on (WW I think?) but going hungry doesn't sound like a good option; are there any 'healthy extras' you can have? It seems to ring a bell that you do feel hungry quite often, is there another plan that could be more suited to your needs perhaps?
It was the beansprouts, peppers, shredded spinach, etc all that you get in the stir fry packet with the salmon put on, I never put any noodles with it or carbs that would have kept me fuller it just was a silly lots of beansprouts really that did nothing for me and crashed my diabetic numbers forcing me to eat something else to get the numbers back up, yes it is WW, I could and should have had something else with it as the points in the beansprouts etc was minimal but was trying something different and was hoping it was a fill up but wasn't. I certainly would not have it for dinner again:D
I feel hungry often through my own fault, I see a recipe and adapt it to WW or adapt it so much that I take the taste out of it to keep the calories down and end up throwing it away because even I could not eat it, just to save the calories I have destroyed it!! I have plenty of WW books but even still sometimes will not add the 4oz of pasta or 4 oz of pots because me and carbs don't get on, I have or had masses of the stuff and ended up weighing over 5 stone too heavy because of the greed and the amount so now see them as the enemy within and try not to have them and if I do then it is catch 22 because I resent the fact I can only have a handful when I really want a plateful or 2!!
The stir fry would have been fine if I had added something filling to it.0 -
Victory - don't forget, you may have put on 2 lbs this week but you unintentionally lost a dramatic 4lbs last week becasue of your pain levels so it's probably just your body balancing out.
I know you are right but I am very harsh on myself, i PANIC AND think a gain is going to bring me right back to where I started, take it out of context and destroy my mind by the suffering I give it and the plan to get rid of it sharpish, infact I know it is wrong but I am getting weighed again at boots this morning on the way to work because I can't bear it, I feel in my mind everyone can see the gain, my clothes won't fit anymore, I feel the pressure from all around now as the compliments and comments have stopped obviously because now people see me as this, normal and the clothes I wear and they expect me to be like this, as well as my H and kids.
I watched Gok last night and the lady had lost 6 stone but still saw herself large, dressed in large clothes, could not connect with her body and that she could look good, at the end she does and goes on to walk down the catwalk, Gok said to her yes you did weight 6 more stone but that has gone now, finished, if only that was so easy, I have had a hard time with myself, I am getting better and can go clothes shopping and the buzz that I can go into all the shops keeps me driven but every day I think it is going to come back, i AM going to !!!!!! it up for myself and the old eat as much as you can in a day Victory will come back and destroy it all for me.
I feel like this is just part time for me.
I found out last night my mother is coming over from Spain to stay with my brother for 5 days and she has requested our presence:eek: here we go again, feeling like a little child, critisized, anaylized, ridiculed, belittled, crumble to heap in the corner because me and all that am is not good enough but hey ho we have accepted as she is 82 and I have not spent a xmas period with her for many a decade and we are going up for the day on the 27th, I can feel the panic, stress, sick feeling already as she reduces me to a 2 year old seeking approval but never being good enough for it.
