Emmie Lou · 25th June, 2008

hey hello em, how you getting on? have you cracked day 1 yet?
ive had my weigh in and ive lost another 3lbs which means 8lbs for my first week.
im very pleased with that as i wasnt 100% all of the time, i think the wii fit has helped!
so will try for 100% this week but def keeping up with the wii fit!

BREN · 25th June, 2008

Em

A congrats on the loss. You are doing really well and I will attempt to be 100% tomorrow with you, it's evening over here and I'm nearly going off to bed.

Will let you know how I get on.

Emmie Lou · 26th June, 2008

So how did you get on bren?
Ive actually just broken my ss'ing on a bagel, i just couldnt resist, never mind back on the water tomorrow and try for 100%

BREN · 27th June, 2008

Emm

I sucked yesterday however, I've be procrastinating for about 2 weeks now. You know a few good days with healthy extras and naughty extras and this morning, now for me, I measured my waist. Last night online I was thinking about not measuring as I didnt want to be disappointed and binge however, I made a few points about why I wanted to loose this last weight and wrote down my triggers and times that set me off and a few solutions next to these. I read them last night before bed and this morning when I got up!

I feel really strong today and I can report that I gained 2 cm's around my waist from last week. Not happy, but knew it was coming.

I like you are going to stop indulging and rewarding myself with food and be focused. Aiming for a full day of 100%. Tonight I am going to an art opening and will be resisting the wine and drinking soda water then with my new friend probably out for dinner. This will be either a greek salad or fish and a garden salad (both meals I am allowed to have). I AM GOING TO DO THIS! and would love the company along the way.

So put the bagel incident behind you and lets get cracking.

Emmie Lou · 27th June, 2008

okee dokee bren, im with you!!

ive started on my water, and i have a very busy day ahead with house work, packing to go away for the weekend, washing and a bit of gardening so hopefully this will all keep me away from cheating!!
i also need to do a min of 30 mins on the wii fit, so busy busy busy!!

Emmie Lou · 1st July, 2008

well im not too sure where all that determination went but im so not worthy of my 100% club bling!

i have only managed i day 100% so far and i get weighed on wed!

need to sort my head out today and decide what i want more, the food that ultimately makes me unhappy, or the diet that can change my life!
will come back later after i've given myself a talking too!

rainbow · 1st July, 2008

Have just read your diary and although Im doing SW I can totally sympathize about how you're feeling. I have to keep asking myself the question, what do I want more - naughty food or to be slim, at the minute its a tough one xxx Will keep popping in on you, and as Fingers Crossed said do pop in on our clothes swapping thread on the SW forum x

BREN · 2nd July, 2008

Hey Em & Rainbow

You both have more to loose than myself but some upon a time I weighed about 96 kilos. It is hard being so close to goal to stick with it and finally finish, especially when I was there six months ago before I had to take steroids and then let myself go. I'm currently trying t o rid the last 5 again.

Anyway after messing around for the past 4 weeks on and off with sticking to my plan etc. I finally had to deal with myself. Try this, as this does work.

Write down 6 reasons why you want to loose the weight. Read these at every meal and especially just before you turn the lights out and go to bed. Again when you wake, before you get out of bed.

Also list your trigger i.e. moments when you are weak and times of the day that are tempting. Next to these write some things you can do at this time, like a walk or a puzzle, read the paper etc

Most importantly set realistic time frames, and some easy achievable goals like 2 ltrs of water a day to start with. When you start achieving some things you will boost your confidence. Rather than focus on what not to eat today try and work out what are you going to include i.e. 3 pieces of fruit and some fish? (obviously not at one meal but throughout the day).

Try and remember it's one day at a time and if you do manage to lapse dont sprial for the day but stop and get straight back on track at the next meal, you dont have to wait until tomorrow.

Hope this helps and I haven't been too forceful.

Emmie Lou · 2nd July, 2008

thanks rainbow for stopping by, i do like visitors! i have checked out the clothes swap thread~brill idea and i will def re check if i ever drop a dress size!
hi bren, that thread was brill, some very good advice~thanks, i think i do put far too much pressure on myself and i just need to chill out with it all, im not going to my weigh in today,i cant face it, i will give myself some talking to today and as my thread says have another bash at it starting tomorrow!

BREN · 2nd July, 2008

Emmie Lou · 2nd July, 2008

hi bren,
thanks for the offer but im supposed to be ss'ing on cambridge, so no eating for me!!
not been a good day for me today so i'll try to start afresh tomorrow!

DQ · 2nd July, 2008

Wipe the slate clean and begin anew

Emmie Lou · 3rd July, 2008

thanks DQ thats just what i intend on doing today! the suns out so i'll try to keep busy!

i need to get back to how i was feeling last week, i had lots of energy and felt confident with the diet, im not sure why i break ss'ing when im feeling so good!!
really doesn't make sense to me its almost like im sabotaging myself just when i start to feel better and positive! duh!!

BREN · 3rd July, 2008

Hi Em

Great to hear your fresh and ready for the day ahead. Stay focused and remember your goal, do you have one for today?

Bren

Mine was not to feel bloated come bed time as I'm measuring in, in the morning! I'm a little bloated but i've eaten pretty well for today.
