Thread: Lottie Bird's Battle of the Binge

Omg I lost 5 pounds this week! So so happy, I never expected 5! So the moral of the story is that I need to stick with group, the numbers have spoken.

Wow that's amazing! Really well done

I've not posted here for a little while. I lost a pound last Thursday, which was nice

I'm having a really bad week to be honest, absolutely wiped out physically and mentally and have been eating comfort foods and not sticking to plan at all. I'm really bloated and feel ready to pop. I really haven't food optimised, recorded my intake or anything, so sure of a gain tomorrow. It will be a relief to weigh in and have a line drawn again.

I was wondering how you were... Well done on the loss last week, but don't feel too bad about going off plan, I have been too! Like you say, hopefully the result will kick you back into it x

It's infuriating me. It's not even December and I've been on the mince pies, and I don't even like them. So silly!

It's like you said though, just comfort food! Eventually you'll get sick enough of it, I'm starting to get to that stage! Craving healthy meals x

I know exactly what you mean! I have overeating today, but back on the healthy stuff at least. How are you getting on generally? Just been naughty this week?

Well my grandad died last Monday so that's kind of the reason I've been off plan, so I'm not doing too great. Trying to focus on other things though, like my work experience which is going really well now. Also my novel which I've just passed 20,000 words on which is cool.

Yum, just made a vaguely healthy salad for lunch tomorrow consisting of leaves, cherry Toms, gherkin, coleslaw, new potatoes and German sausage! Yum, looking forward to it

How's life with you other than dieting (or lack of haha)? xx

Aw, I'm sorry to hear about your grandad Totally understandable you're not on plan 100%.

I didn't know you are writing a novel, what type of novel? I have an idea for a novel (Sci-fi) that I keep meaning to start and never quite get around to it. Is it your first?

I gained 0.5lb last night, I deserved a bigger gain so I am ok with it, determined to have a loss this week. Really been bad at saying "no" lately...

Nevermind about the 0.5lb, like you said it could have been a bigger gain

Thanks, just a tough time all round at the moment! Planned to go to the gym today, but ended up arguing with my mum, then crying with her so we just got some chips instead haha! Such a fail...

I'm doing NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month - and it's a kind of supernatural, fantasy and erotic (not really, but there is a sex scene) haha... A big mix of things! You should check it out And definitely start writing if you have an idea! They say everyone has a book in them xx

*sigh*... I have gotten myself in a right tizzy about weigh in tomorrow. I am so paranoid and I feel like everyone in my group must be wondering why I bother. I have been way more on plan this week, but can't shake this feeling that I have gained. I have by no means been perfect, but no binges. I am having my own successes with food, but sadly this doesn't always translate into weight loss. I really do know I am going to get there, and I am in no way tempted to give up... I just feel like I am embarrassing myself in front of everyone

Well, I have had a big break over the festive season, haven't been on minis much, busy moving house got in the way too

I am so glad christmas is over, I am firmly back on the wagon now which is a massive relief. I had a mammoth gain last week, expecting a hefty one this week too. I'm not going to let it get me down, I'm going to let it motivate me to work really hard to get my weight going the way I want it to.

I have set up a spreadsheet from today to the end of 2013 for me to plan and record all my intake and weight, and I intend on using this diary (and the rest of the forum) a lot more too. Things have been going really well for me lately, life is good, and its the perfect time for me to do this and achieve all my goals. Not tomorrow, not new year... now. Thank goodness I am back in the zone, siezing the moment and remembering I am the only factor affecting my success or failure.

Loved reading this diary. I can really relate with you guys, it's nice to see that you can control the binges, there really is light at the end of the tunnel xx

Hi there Kel, it's a struggle sometimes, but it's definitely doable. I wonder if I could get through all of 2013 binge-free, now that would be something!

Absolutely delighted to have lost 4lbs today!!! And it's Christmas week, so doubly thrilled! Great way to see the year out!

Well its the dreaded weigh in day again! After my 4lb loss last week, I expect to have regained it tonight. I have had a cycle of good week, bad week, good week, bad week for quite some time now, and its quite annoying.

My nasty binges have been at bay again, I think it was the stress of moving house that triggered it a bit. So thats a relief, but my general eating has just been lazy, and poor choices. Had a couple of take-aways for no good reason... lots of chocolates too. Cooked a disgustingly fattening lasagne with garlic bread and banoffee tart for afters on new years day. I'm determined to not beat myself up, and to move forward. So a gain is fully expected, and I can move forward from wherever I am at.

I hope to be safely in the 14s by valentines day, thats what I'm working on as my first priority. Its a real landmark for me, its the weight category where I am no longer embarrassed to say what I weigh. 15s still sounds bad to me, 14s not so much So including tonight, 7 weigh-ins. I will set myself a more specific goal tonight once I know what the damage is. I get such a feeling of dread going to weigh in, and its a zillion times worse when I have been off plan, so I am going to really try and minimise my stress, stick to plan, and try to learn to look forward to weighing in.
