You need to be strong to deal with this diet malarky and if you are down, it certainly won't help x The other thing you shouldn't do is look back and regret - at the time, you thought it was the best thing for you. You can only learn from it, and move on. Get through the weekend as best you can, and then start again on Monday hun. Sending lots of hugs hun, and don't get upset and cry x x

Thank you. I'm sorry I lashed out. Just felt rotten enough as it was...

There's a bit of me that would like to delete what I wrote yesterday, but maybe it should stay... It's how I felt at the time, and I guess everything I write here is about learning how to do things differently next time.

Ho de hum. Once again, I apologise for my bad behaviour.

So...

As I think I'd just be setting myself up to fail if I try to do CD today, I thought what I'd do is low carb over the weekend to get myself back into ketosis, and then climb back aboard the CD wagon on Monday. Realistically, there are just too many temptations around, what with having a friend to stay for the weekend (and what appears to be a fridgeful of meat and poultry

).

But if I'm not back on CD on Monday, feel free to give me the beating up I deserve!

I will get there--I'm just gonna be a week behind schedule...

hi hun. just joined on here today and was readin all the posts since you started. I know EXACTLY how you felt being mad. I've felt like that loads. Here is a hug and a pat on the back "there there" cos god knows i've needed that before lol. I've just posted a thread in returners about how i have faffed about for the last month or so and got into the ss/binge/ss cycle in other words sabotaging myself big style ! plus i have no support at home, my hubby and mates think i should just eat and regularly encourage me to do so. and then the kids are the same "mummy your so miserable just eat something !"
AAARRRGGHHHHH
anyhow, i just read sassy's post on prep for ss, and i am seeing my cdc monday night after a crap week (dreading it) but have decided i am going to do low carb like you over the weekend, then gt back on SS next week. And i am going to try coming on here everyday to post, even if its just me reading it lol. It seemed to help you when you were being so good ! I'm at college as well, so added stress omg ! Not muxch motivation at mo but at least am still trying ! Will come on here and look for your posts. You can do it, and good luck - think of that lbd for xmas xxxbrinaxxx

Hey Lily, you said absolutely nothing wrong yesterday (in my opinion

) I'm really sorry if you thought we were being harsh with ya, but to be honest (oops again, soz this is the way I am) you seemed sooooo strong and committed, and in my mind ya just had a wee slip and needed a nudge to get back up...I don't think us coming on and agreeing would have helped ya, hopefully our straight talking helped you in a way to refocus what is your actual goal....to lose the weight

So...

We are all human, OMG the amount of times I slip is unreal

but as a fav quote of mine that I robbed of another thread on here says " Anybody can quit. Anybody can do that. A winner realises the crime is not being knocked down, the crime is not getting up again" your not a quitter, you came on here said the truth, said why, said what your up against, and asked for help.

If your still interested in hearing what I have to say

its get past this weekend, eat but eat as healthy as ya can, and get back to your original goal (thats how I manage the weaker moments)....it would be great if we could all be 100% perfect, but in reality this is a near impossibility

This forum is great for hearing other peoples journeys, and if ya can learn from others experiences then brilll...

You can do this, we all can, it just takes time

Hi Lily

Can I join you with feeling down, as I DID NOT use my packs whilst in Cyprus - they are well travelled as they went there in my case, sat in the cupboard for a week (whilst I mostly lived on toast & sarnies) then came home again!

When I weighed the day after I got home I had gained 3lbs which considering what I munched my way through wasnt too bad but now probably gained another 3 lbs since!

Anyway I have found a Councillor who does a drop in type class so I have arranged to start on Monday evening so I am looking forward to that. I do feel I need a class type environment to keep me going but joining WW or SW is soooo slow, but hopefully going to a class & doing CD will be the answer, after all I lost the weight originally by going to a weekly LL session.

Dont beat yourself up, what's done is done, that's the way I am thinking anyway.

Hope all goes well for you

PS Had a lovely time in Cyprus - 100 degrees!
