Weight loss the old style way part 3.

bobbadog

Morning all

Big hugs Toniwoty - hope your toothache eases up a bit very soon.

Ms Frogga - regardless of how much you and any of us weigh, none of us should be hiding under big fleeces and in black! (and i'm a bit of a goth!!) - try out some of these shops and get yourself something fitted that makes you feel like a glamarous frog! I get lazy and prefer to be comfortable than gorgeous a lot of the time, but my confidence takes a hit when I do. You're amazing. Fact.

Right - today is going to be an odd day I think. Am out tonight straight after work at a reunion thing, and won't be home 'til about 11 (too late for dinner), so am baking two small rolls to take a 'packed lunch dinner' with me. I refuse to buy something yukky in the pub for dinner, and i'd rather not spend any money!

So today:

B: museli, semi skimmed, extra raisins
L: 1/2 a carton of soup (300ml), small brown roll, orange (and a pear if I can find one)
2 x white (all we have) rolls w/ smidgen of cheese and pickle

Quite a bread based day, but figure the rolls for dinner will work out far healthier than a pub-sized portion of veggie lasagne? Perhaps? With OH away i'm a bit loathe to do any food shopping! Jumped on the scales this morning and appear to have lost 1 pound, which is a minor miracle as i've drank a LOT of wine just recently. Oh well! Done quite a bit of walking too.

Now, off to attempt to find something summery in my wardrobe -wish me luck! x

recovering big hug. no one thinks you're a nutcase, don't be so silly

Emmm, speak for yourself Toni I don't think RS is a nutcase , I know it! But then it takes one to know one doesn't it RS?

I've lost count how many times I've been crying over being so overweight , but stopped long enough to wipe away the tears and stuff more food in :rolleyes:

Thanks for the "amazing" comment Bobadog, that's kind. Don't feel very amazing though. I think I must be a complete b*tch as personally I DO look at other people who are overweight and think badly of them.

I have a very large friend and I think she's lovely but in my head I think to myself "God , why did she let herself get so big?" That's horrid isn't it? Yesterday when I went into town I was looking at everyone in the street. All the thin people I thought looked really good and I was envious. All the large people I thought looked horrible and fat and unatractive

See I told you I'm horrid, that's really nasty of me isn't it? I can't help it though. I think as I used to be annorexic I look at people's size far more critically than normal people do. I need to get my priorities right.

I'm really sorry if I've offended any big people and the reality is I'm no doubt much bigger than any of you. Guess that's why I dispise myself so much.

As for the tops, they were all too tight on the tummy. I am wearing one them this morning though as it's just too hot for that damm fleece today. I feel naked TBH and keep ajusting it. Oh well, no choice :rolleyes:

I don't want to binge so that's a good thing. If I can just get to the end of May I'll look better as my tummy will have gone down :rolleyes:

Have a good day all , sorry again x

Well, my apparent loss doesn't seem to figure on the scales this morning, but let's look on the bright side, weather seems nice today and I can wear my scruffy linen trousers and old vest top and get on with the housework, jobs and maybe some sewing if I'm lucky. Will make an effort and have a shower and get my face on though, then if anyone calls I won't look too bad. I find that I KNOW if a garment is old and it just feels scruffy to me because I KNOW it's old. It's good morale wise to do the face thing. No hair today, as I'm at home and it's cooler without it. Scarf will do.

Granite Man is supposed to be coming later, he was supposed to come last week, but ran out of day to do things in and didn't get this far. Good job I don'g work 5xdays out of the house, isn't it?

Food? Well, I did think I would do some baking today... quiche? Maybe pastryless for me as I'm not going to waste calories on pastry! I don't want to use toooo many of my small stash of eggs (am on no-food-spend-challenge this week).

Am going to try and get fruit and veg up today, not got that much veg in, but will try and find something to make a salad for lunch. Bean salad maybe, as I cooked a load of kidney beans last night for the freezer.

Brekkie, fruit and maybe porridge, should keep off the hunger pangs till lunch time. Need more tea first.

Lunch, bean salad maybe? I have some canned fish.

Dinner. Maybe pastryless quiche. Others will have pastry.

Have a good day everyone, I'll be back here to see how you are all doing.

Morning folks :hello:
Bit sore and stiff this morning but otherwise ok. Stuck to plan apart from the buttered crust that leapt into my mouth when I was making todays lunch last night OOPS!

Brekkie today was boiled eggs and soldiers, lunch is salad, cottage cheese and eggs with loads of fruit.
Tea.............not decided yet. This weather always makes me feel like it should be salad but I've got a fridge full of cooking stuff so it will have to be summat cooked :rolleyes:

(((((HUGS))))) to everyone who needs one :grouphug:

Frogga, I know it seems daft but if you treated yourself to something lighter and looser you might feel better in yourself????

See you later folks :A

Morning all!

RS (((hugs))) its perfectly understandable that you slipped with all you've been going through so dont you feel guilty! Take no notice of frogga - you're not a nutter at all!;)

toniwoty - hope you feel bette soon x

I've tried 3 different tops on this morning deciding what to wear but settled on a loose top from Matalan that looks like it needs a good iron but doesn't cos its the style!:D I'm into my lighter trainers too - not keen on showning my feet, I'm on the look out for some crocs as they seem comfy - DH bought some and thinks they're great.

Food plans for today -

B - soaked muesli with skimmed milk

S - pear and banana

L - toasted sarnie with grapes

D - jacket spud with cottage cheese after my SW weigh in tonight!

take care all, back later x

Morning all

Thought i would pop in before sending my bum outside again..the fresh air must have done me good as i went to bed at 10.30 with a mug of tea (in hubbies mug ) and clambered into his side of the bed with WW magazine and promptly fell asleep :rotfl: until 9am this morning :eek: "HOW MUCH sleep?"
Im terrible for using hubbies stuff when he isn't about ...i just automatically pick up his mug etc..sad sack

Im hoping to get my butternut squash etc out in the garden today.... fingers crossed then i can do a quick count up of how many more tubs i need

Cheerfulness..the chilies are just getting there 1st proper leaves on..but they are growing much slower than any others i had set ..mind its only hubby who likes chillies so we don't need that many

Rockie... glad you aren't too battered this morning...
I have used up all of the "must cook" stuff now..we have go onto full scale salad meals :T luckily hubby loves them too. I will still do jackets, quiche etc..but cooked dinners have gone now until autumn :j

Toniwotty... hope you are feeling better soon ...curl up and watch drivel on the TV with some hot choc...

well done on the losses.. superspam and bobbadog..and anyone else i might have missed :T

Recovering.. hope you get an appointment soon so you can get it over and done with...

Meal today....hmmm

1. brekkie -will have a yogurt in a moment
2. lunch -fruit and jelly

HI all, hugs to all that need them.

Just wanted to say - frogga if your family had commented, you would have gone back into an unhealthy food relationship -whichever way that would be. A member of my close family once made a comment to me about getting big when I was a teen and it stuck with me inside my head and a few years later they commented that they were worried about my weight loss :rolleyes: But I was pretty obsessed and went down to 8 stone (not a good look for a not particularly small framed 5 ft 5 person). Other people's comments don't work magic, it's you that the change has to come from.

I would like to say I know how you all feel about clothes being too small but that can change - this time last year I was seriously depressed about my size and refusing to buy the next size up clothes as I didn't want to look that big or give allowance to stay that size.

It may have taken me a year but I'm now at the opposite state where most of my clothes don't fit coz they'd fall down And to be honest it's the very first time in my life that I've been this slim and yet still had a healthy relationship with the scales and my food. I don't look at food and think "I can't have that", I look and think I'll have a little bit of that and then be good for the rest of the day/week. I don't weigh myself 3 times a day either (like I used to back on the way to 8 stone). And I've not lost this weight because of being unhappy with life either (just from being unhappy with previous size).

I feel happy about myself generally (though would agree that I'd like OH to fancy me a bit more, like I do him - and I'd love to be able to go on a clothes spending spree like I used to when I had credit cards )

mornin everyone, can i join in please,
have tried and failed on so many diets, that i just want to lose weight heathily and like old style meals, i cook everything from scratch, including my own bread.
i currently weigh 13 stone 5 pounds, would like to lose over a stone, but for now a small target of say just a few pounds before i go hols at next bank holiday would be brill.
so far i've had porridge made with skimmed milk, and a banana
going to pop to supermarket when i've doen my list
plenty of walking planned whilst its lovely and warm.
somebody mentioned crocs., they're lovely and comfy and just right for this weather, i too have probs finding shoes to fit

Hi everyone.

Congrats on the loses and hugs for those not.

Quickie as OH home and waiting to go out.

Food today:
Boiled egg and fingers
HM tortillas filled with cajun chicken and salad
HM pate on toast

That clothes site was really interesting MrsMc...never even heard of it before but very reasonably priced. Will have a gander when I get time.

Glad the chillis are working, too. Still have high hopes for mine.

Catch you all later

Hi all, I read but don't post so whilst I feel that I know you, you won't know me!

I feel terrible at the moment. I had a 45 minute personal training session at the gym, came home and lovingly prepared a chicken casserole because I know OH will be hungry when he gets in and then I went and crammed a whole bar of Green and Black's into my mouth. I literally crammed it in out of fear that OH would come back and catch me.

This has been the pattern for a couple of weeks now - see my personal trainer (who is fab and TOTALLY worth the money) but then sabotage myself. I've changed jobs and only work 3 days a week, only have one whole day a week with OH. This is leaving me far too much time unsupervised and I'm feeling a little lonely at the moment anyway.

I feel horrible and just want to cry
