Thread: Tracey's Diary. Slow and Steady - again.

Well, I've stuck to it religiously since Saturday so hopefully that'll have limited the damage as much as possible. I had a headache for most of yesterday but it's clearing now.

I've been doing other things to try to keep my mind off food, like dead-heading flowers and killing weeds. My tea is all prepared so as soon as I want it I can put it on.

When I have my tea has to be carefully planned. Too early and I'm hungry again later but if I leave it too late I'm looking round for something to eat before it. Tonight I'm having 4oz chicken, 5oz pots, carrots, cauli and sprouts, with half a papaya and yogourt for dessert.

Yippee!!!!!!!!

I've lost the one and a half I put on at Christmas. Headache is back today but I don't care because I'm back on track.

Just about to start exercise and I'm looking forward to it, mainly legs today with a bit of arms, then staight into bath.

I'm starting to feel better again now all the excess eating over Christmas has stopped. I no longer have a headache - funny how you notice a headache when it's there but you don't quite notice when it goes. Anyway mine has now gone and I'm feeling so much better again.

Still, Christmas has done something - it's shown me that my body much prefers this way of eating.

I looked at myself in the full length mirror this morning and I don't half look a funny shape. It's like all the weight has come off my top half and waist first so even though my hips and legs have gone a bit smaller they're even more out of proportion than before! Let's hope it starts coming off my hips, belly and legs soon.

I'm struggling a bit today, don't know why but I feel so hungry. This isn't that I'm craving chocolate or want to binge, I just feel that I need more to eat. I'm going to eat a bit more than normal today even if I end up putting weight on. If I don't I'll end up with a major binge on chocs and biscuits or something like that. Could be that I'm feeling cold and need a bit more in the way of fuel.

OMG, What have I done! I've just drunk a whole bottle of Champagne in less than an hour and am already dreading weight in tomorrow bit onthe other hand couldn'r care les. Tried o ring hubby in Nigeria this morning - no line last night but there was screeching down the line so that was a waste of 20 odd cents aminute.

Not just the drink but God knows what I've eaten - I'm not suer. All this because I felt a bi t loney. Oh, well back tele. CaN'T beleive i've been so stupid, Oh weel back the drawing board. Keep getting new wimdows and allsorts opening on this computer.

I'm still feeling a bit down so I suppose if I sts this week even after putting on last week that's the best I can hope for.

I keep telling myself I'm still quite a bit lighter than when I started so that's good. If I hadn't started the diet I'd definately be heavier as I was putting weight on at a ridiculas rate.

I am sticking to it but finding very difficult so I'm wondering whether to try a few days with no sweets or chocolate. I don't know whether this will encourage me to have different foods for my extas or whether it'll make me crave them even more? Could be worth a try but I don't want another binge as I had got out of that and don't want to start again.

I have sts and I'm annoyed about it. I feel like I've stuck to it all for nothing. I know I'd have put on if I hadn't stuck to it and I know I thought I'd be happy to sts as it could still be a result of last weeks binge, but I'm not.

Today, I've decided I'm gona cut my calories to 1200. 1000 for meals, fruit etc and 200 for extras. I'll miss the other 100 for treats but needs must. I'll stick to that this week and see what happens. I've got to try something, I'm not gona give up.
