Thread: Starting Afresh after a week of gluttony!!

Good Morning everyone,

Well had a fab week away in Norfolk but I came off the wagon big time. IN fact It was more like self sabotage!! I virtually gave myself a licence to eat!!

All of this gluttony resulted in gaining 10lbs of the 13 lost. I have been back a few days and tried on Monday then Tuesday to get back on TS but failed. It is literally like a demon in my head telling me why bother, just eat!!

Anyway last night had a long heart to heart with DH, shed quite a few tears and this morning have restarted with more determination that ever. Fell so disappointed in myself but trying to lock the feelings of self hatred away!!

Had first shake, sipping water and heading to a meeting for work.

Dreading these first few days but have no distractions now for a few weeks and have just ordered another bumper pack ( shakes only this time).

Will be back to update later

It is so hard to get back on it after having a major blow out. I think you forget how hungry you get in the first few days and think why bother. I hope you can overcome your food demons.

I am finding that I am constantly fighting with myself to not give in an eat as it is all in my head and I know that if I have a shake/soup/bar and lots of water it will pass.

Good luck, and remember if you are struggling just have 4 packs it won't affect you loss any more than if you blow it, and you will feel much better for it.

Keep at it, we are all in this together.

I went back on total on Monday after my holiday. I gained 5lbs whilst away (my sig says 6 because I had messed up the figures before I went away-probably wishful thinking lol)
It's been really hard but with my OH support I'm getting there and a sneaky peek at the scales this morning shows that the lbs are melting away. It's mostly water so get tough with yourself and get back on track. You know you can do this.
There are a few of us this week restarting after hols etc so you're not alone. Roll on stinky breath and ketosis lol

Thank you very much, it does help to know I am not alone in struggling second time around. Determined to do a whole week but I want to lose about 5 stone so I am looking to do at least 12 weeks in total. I can handle the hunger at first I just miss food as my companion, have just had a busy meeting, now back at my desk so hopefully today will fly past, I am actually looking forward to an early night as well.
Thanks again x

Thanks for the message of support, My OH like yours is very supportive but I think week after week of me whining and crying about my weight is starting to wear him out!! When I did it 2 weeks ago I found the first few days fairly easy but this time I am removing any temptations which for me are not the ones in the cupboard or fridge but family visiting, social occasions etc as I can't stick to TS when I am in the situations.

Thanks for the support it meas a lot xxx

Hi Honeykiss

Good luck with the re-start. Know exactly what you mean with the self-sabatoge and how hard it can be to get going again. I've had a couple of false starts and after one day have thought to hell with it but on Day 3 now and although hard going hopefully this'll be the start that means something. Nearly gave in this morning but managed to ride it out so perhaps the time is right afterall.

Tried a keto stick this morning and although this is only Day 3 I'm sure it looked a little bit pink - maybe just wishful thinking though.

Go for it - need to keep trying and eventually it'll stick. i look forwrad to hearing how you're doing. x

Good luck with your re-start.

Firstly, good luck with your restart!

Like you i went on self-destruct mode. Once i started i couldnt stop....but im determined not to let food control my life. This time im in it for the long haul....BUT like you i will not deprive myself if i have a social event, i will just be sensible. IE i have a night out planned next saturday. I dont get out often and i dont want to ruin my night out by drinking water, so i will b having a meal that night and a few drinks (sensible though, compared to my usual self-destruct). No one said it was going to be easy, heck if it wa we'd all have done it years ago lol. But hang in there, your not alone and if you have a bad day let us know cos chances are one of us will be in the same boat and we can help each other thru it.

Keep at it, you can do it xx

Good Morning one and all,

Well managed to get through day 1 again and part of me feels relived to take food out of the equation for a while.

I was lying in bed this morning after OH had left for work and thinking about how food rules my life. If I am not thinking about food I am eating it, planning what to buy etc and even on this TS plan I am still thinking about food all of the tie. I feel hard done by and I am trying to not think like that, then I feel guilty for being so greedy and putting on all of this weight!

Sorry to ramble on, had a horrible headache that woke me up in the night, however seems to have shifted now. Took some paracetamol and that did the trick.
Feel really tired and just about dragged my sorry self out of bed this morning, running a bit late for work now but I am in a "Who cares" mode!!

Hopefully I will brighten up later.

Thinking about food constantly is a side effect of this diet lol. Hope you feel better as the day goes on.

Yes hope you feel better. You get a sudden burst a few days in and feel great -it will happen stick in there. Plus seeing the scales go down is so wonderful. I'm feeling very evangelistic about exante and weight loss today. It really is great to feel you clothes fitting better. Much nicer than any food.

Goo Morning ,


Well yesterday started well, had my shake in the morning, continued with the water, headache disappeared. All good in Wendy's World then in the afternoon had some bad news, processed the bad news and took myself out after work to the shops, never had lunch so was starving whilst out.

it could have been worse, I had a chicken salad but I also had about a 1/4 of a baguette with it!!! When I got back I then felt the urge to make a cake.
Feeling guilty about some things I said to OH during our heart to heart a few nights ago and wanted to make it up to him.
Anyway made a big chocolate fudge cake.
Anyway cake was ready by about 8.30pm and I did partake in a smallish slice.

Didn't have anymore shakes had a can of pepsi max so today I am starting again. Fell a right muppet but oh well.

Maybe I should consider adding a meal? I really dont know.

On a plus side the scales have gone down by 5lbs but just really annoyed with myself yet again. Willpower where art thou?

This diet isnt easy is it? I dont think Ive ever thought so much about food in my life.

You can absolutely do it, heres to a great restart x
