Thread: Here's hoping

Day 69 - 10/12/2012. Had a great weekend. Been totally off plan but haven't eaten just for the sake of it. I am off plan all this week though, we have so much food left over from the weekend, it's not that I can't resist it, but we actually can't afford to waste it. I have put as much as possible in the freezer but now that is full. As soon as the carbs are used up I'm going to low carb it- I have a shake for breakfast then nothing until dinner, so I'm not eating load any way.

Day 72, 13/12/12 Been off plan this week, but have sts at weigh on on wed, so I'm pleased, hopefully can stay that way until the new year. Did an order yesterday, enough shakes and bars to last me a month after xmas to get any remaining weight off and do a slow refeed/ JUDDD down days.

I have been amazed at how little food I seem to need/ want/ be eating. Even though I have been off plan and given myself permission to eat 'normally' I seem to be waiting until I'm really hungry before even looking into the kitchen! Having said that, I had a mcdonalds yesterday! Not had one in ages, and really enjoyed it, which is unusual. Anyhoo, night out tomorrow so much make sure I carb up, I think I'm still in ketosis

Yay for not going mental with the food even tho you're off plan that will be a handy habit when you're maintaining xxx

Day 76: 17/12/2012

I have been on a refeed this week, and weighed in this morning at 10st 2- official weigh in tomorrow, an I have tried (not too successfully) to be back on plan, got a wedding at the weekend and want to be able to wear a nice dress. Must say I am still happy with the weight I have lost, on Friday night I went out with some people from my masters, we had never been out before, I wore denim shorts with tights and heels and a blouse and I looked HOT! No to big myself up, I got lots of compliments which I loved. I'm not reliant on external confirmations of my attractiveness, far more concerned with how I feel, but I had noticed the lack of compliments, which I feel was a due to a combination of age (I am starting to look like I'm in my mid-late 20s, where as I have always looked young) and weight gain, it didn't feel good. So Friday was a real boost. I have never worn shorts before except on holiday!

Good for you for realising you're hot and being proud of yourself

I'd LOVE to wear shorts

I'm stuffed!

I have eaten sooo much this last week, as of Christmas eve I weighed 10st 5lbs not surprising though, and it is mainly water and glucose, I can still fit into my jeans . I will weigh again on the 2nd and see how much damage has been done. At least I have ended the year less than I started it at for once!
