    Enthusiam is a big thing, sometimes it is such an overwhelming need to fill one's belly but then it doesn't make it better does it? It doesn't solve anything just makes it worse, the only thing I know to get over it now and have learnt is do not deprive yourself at all because that makes it the enemy, just enjoy but don't go mad, portion it out, enjoy it, little gives pleasure without the guilt and the weight gain and all the negatives that come with it ,no need for masses.

    I totally agre with the first part, that it doesn;t make you feel better, but for me, I can't have 1 because then I eat all 55 in front of me. I can't do moderation. Extreme or nothing. I have more will power to eat none of it than to eat just 1. I guess this is where I have to learn to change...

    Brilliant loss Wendy and well done to everyone else who's lost too. What you're doing is working great so keep at it, definitely no point changing anything while you're getting results! We were all newbies once so don't ever let that hold you back from posting :) Totally agree with you on the "diet bore" thing, haha :rotfl:

    I'm having a bit of a "medium" week so far here, certainly not as focused as I was last week but not going over the top either. Maybe I will maintain. That would be a first :p

    Well done Marion on posting your gain:T , I know it can't have been easy for you, but it shows that we are all human. I sometimes feel that, despite reading posts to the contrary, I'm the only one struggling (that's not the word but I can't think of the one I want) ..After being so smug last week that I'd managed to keep within a 2lb range since the start of the year, I gained 1.8 lbs on Monday; MrP had had last week off and it threw me out foodwise, but I didn't expect to see such a gain. It's through seeing how brave everyone else is that's shamed me into putting it here, I wasn't going to mention it. I realise that I'm within a 3 lb range now and I'm sure a lot of you would be glad to have it, so I'm sorry for my ramblings, but it's just how it's got me at the moment. Anway, like Beanie and Brightonbelle, this is the least of my problems!...

    ...Delly thanks for that lovely link showing sasha, she's wonderful :T ...

    ...Well done to all who of you who have lost:j ... just spotted wendys 6 lb off:j :j crumbs!...

    xxxx
    I wish that I could be the oldest AND wisest....sadly it's not the latter :p but my time will come _party_ wooooh hoooh! Beware!!!!!!!

    Well done Wendy !!

    I have been weighed today and I have gained two pounds.I have to admit that I have done no exercise because of the dizziness. I am also taking a pain killere that kind of blocks you up inside. I won't go into detail but I think that that too does not help.

    Right just back from the gym, Following on from Granny I now can say.

    Its a Chinese, nacho eating, guiness drinking, kun po eating, prawns, clam, shark fin soup gorging, dim sum tasting, pimms o clock drinking, burger munching, chip dunking, starbuck sipping, meat pies to stay sober tasting, vodka red bull drinking, lederhosen wearing, sweating it out in the gym 3 times..............

    9lb gain

    I never have posted my holiday gains before though I did always admit to them, and lost the gains usually within 7-10 days :) Hong kong was not my worst result ;)
