I MAINTAINED. Praise the weight loss Lord, this is truly a miracle. Now I just want ONE WEEK on track. Not going to shoot for SP, not going to worry about being very low syn (in fact, I'm going to try to eat all my syns) and if I feel the need to eat LOTS I'm going to do it with veggies and fruit. Come on Lol, you can do this.
Hey lovely -
I don't know why we do it to ourselves... I think once we get that award we so desperately aim for once we have it we do something to sabotage (or at least I do) Nothing I can say but look at how well you are doing and try not to let everything get on top of you (easier said than done I know!)
Food is looking good for today, whats on the menu for the rest of the day? xx
Definitely! I am a terrible one for self-sabotage. I think it comes from a place of poor self esteem; I feel I don't deserve to be doing as well as I am which leads to self-destructive behaviour. It sounds dramatic but I really believe my issues with self-harm now manifest themselves in my relationship with food as well.
For example, I still occasionally punish myself after binges by taking a large amount of laxatives. I know that calories have been absorbed already but the physical pain is meant to act as a deterrent to stop me
My food for the rest of the day was good! I had a mugshot for lunch and pasta with salad for dinner. Late night snack of peanut butter didn't exactly help me along but I was craving it and I didn't binge - yay!

Hi there....
Found you by accident really but have enjoyed reading your epic weight loss journey, so please may I subscribe ??
I have in the past lost 5 stone plus, but having a little extra here and there have put it all ( and more) back on !!!!
Then the 1st week of January ( after I'd eaten me Crimbo goodies) decided to rejoin Slimming World, where after 8 weeks I find myself having lost 2 stone.... I can certainly understand the binge days I still do myself but then think.... Come on Paul get that Slimming World head back on, and I'm good, so keep up the fantastic work you've done so far, you've come such a long way so be proud of yourself, catch you soon hopefully xx
Of course you may! Thank you
I completely am in the same boat with considerable weight loss in the past. It's so frustrating! Occasionally I find myself wistfully looking back at old pictures and wishing I could go back in time but need to stop that. All it's really taught me is that the methods I've used in the past haven't been sustainable haha. Need to get my head round this whole 'healthy habits for
life' part and stop trying to race to the finish.
2 stone already?! That's amazing, well done you!! Hope we both continue to be bad-ass at this whole weight loss gig
xx
I know exactly. I had exams a few months back and I literally ate about 7,000+ calories in a sitting. Just picking at food aj wasn't even hungry for. So now when I'm studying I get punnet of grapes or berries and snack on them. Its so hard to break that pattern. But you are doing fantastic
That's such a good plan! I've literally eaten a kilo of carrots today (stomach, what even are you? i swear there's meant to be a limit to how much I can stuff inside you haha) but you know that's a whole lot better than a bag of donuts, a pint of ice cream and a multipack of crisps. We can do this!! We just gotta keep making good choices.
