I am re joining this coming week after putting a lot of the 3.5 stone I lost back on. You have inspired me.
I am just learning how the site works but look forward to following you.
Hilly

Thanks Alycyn. That's good to know

I eat loads of fruit and there's also lots of hidden veg in my meals but I don't eat the traditional meat n 2 veg!

Hope you have a great day

Hi Hilly. Thanks for checking out my diary. I am back on track now after my blip so hopefully I'll inspire you even more over the coming months.

Good luck with your journey. Have you got a diary yourself?

Well done on your 100% day yesterday Toots!

Thanks Sally. Going to try for another one today

Hope you have a good day too

Afternoon!! I have just read your entire diary and now i'm subscribing (well, I say that I don't know how to actually subscribe - but lets just pretend!)
Well done for getting back on track!! looks like your last couple of days have been great!
I don't really know if this will be helpful, but everytime I feel super tempted to eat junk like a choccy bar or anything else, before I dive in, i close my eyes and count to ten (usually quite slowly - 1 elephant, 2 elephant ) and in them 10 seconds I usually realise that I dont need that chocolate bar, or that burger and the craving goes away. Sometimes this doesnt work, but thats ok, we all fall off plan sometimes, but it works 70% of the time, and thats 70% less crap im shoving down my pothole and adding to my waistline!
I've also mentioned this on someone elses diary, i took a photo of me at my largest in a swimming cossy and keep it as my phone screen saver, sometimes ill look at it and it motivates me to keep going because i really dont wanna look like that for the rest of my life!

You've managed to lose so much weight already and you can definately do it this year!

I have done - this kind of. I got my other half to take pics of me front side and back and I keep them in my phone – not screen saver in case someone sees!! BUT I did print them off and then I laminated them at work and I now use them as dinner mats (well I did, when they got put away I put all my weight back on so they are getting looked out again!!!). But this helped when sitting down at dinner cos when you were full you seen the pics and just stopped eatin! When dinner is over I sit them on my wee table that I use when sitting watchin TV, makes me want to pick less!!! Not everyones cup of tea but it works

Hello Miss P P,


Thank you for subscribing to my diary. Hope it wasn't too boring a read!!

Thanks for the advice of taking the photo. I think I might give that idea a go, although I don't think I'm brave enough to put it on my screensaver but I'll definitely save it to my pictures. Don't want to give anyone a fright if I leave my phone lying around by mistake! : 8855:

Alycyn, that's a great idea to get the photo laminated. Might pinch that idea too, except I've not got a laminator and would probably put the person in the copy shop into shock if I took in a pic of me in a cossie!

I'm off out just now but I'll be back later with an update on my day and i will check out your diary too Miss PP

Have a good afternoon all

I'm sneeky and have one of these wierd thingy bobbys (not that thats much help!) that covers your screen and so other people cant see whats on it apart from you, or when your looking directly at it! haha, plus i have a passcode, and my photo only comes up after i've put the passcode in! Modern technology huh!!

p.s lol @ miss p p - reminds me of school when people used to call me peewee or peepee (oh the horrors!)

See I'm different, I don't want to foster hatred or disgust in my body, or pass that idea on to my son or nieces. There are so many people out there raring to put others down and I shouldn't go do their job for them! I can see how much better I look and celebrate that, but I don't want to associate eating as bad, and not to eat what i want else I will look like a picture I've decided is disgusting as you can get down a bit of a negative route, either leading to binging and self flagolation, or seeing foods as good and bad, rather than things to enjoy freely and things to enjoy in more measured quantities - but enjoy all the same.

That's probably just me though! I have had friends who have gone down a negative path so I'm probably slightly more aware of the danger. And because I have clinical depression etc I have become more aware of negative thought patterns.

So glad you are on for another good day hun!

Ur totally right Fran, i guess different things work for different people! Its all about finding the method that works for you and sticking with it!
