Day 23

Today went just as well as previous days i'm happy to say. Tomorrows gonna be a total day off though.

My friends birthday, so need to eat a big meal before I go out to avoid getting really drunk off a few drinks . Then add in the alcohol calories plus food at the end of the night. I'm not worried about it though, will get back on track with ease on Sunday

I actually didn't get a kebab last night, only because I was that drunk I couldn't eat haha

Did have Pizza before I went out though, overall for a off day though it wasn't too bad .

Hungover and waiting for Sunday dinner now, always look forward to it when i'm hungover then eat like one potato haha

Potatoes are the one thing I'm not missing that much now. I had some microwaves oven chips last week but to be honest I can finally take them or leave them. They certainly don't sound appetizing to me now

I think at this stage I would find it very very difficult not to have carbs, most of my meals consist of carbs in some manner. Think when I get down to say 12-12 1/2 stone I will have to start cutting down my carb intake quite a bit though.

Can not believe it is Monday already,praying I stay the same this week and even a 1lb loss will be a major triumph. This weekend has been a major wipe out and being hungover got me into a 'I need a takeaway' mind frame. Resisted it though but realised just one night out for me can turn into 3 days of struggle lol.

On the plus side, I was looking though old messages with my friend and in the past 15 months it seems the lowest weight I mentioned I was at was 13st 9lbs. So thats my next target to get to 13st 8lbs by the 30th August to say this is the lightest I have been in 15 months

Ergh not good. My dogs really ill and my mam's taking him to the vets when shes next off work. He's 15 so I know the vet is going recommend to put him down

So I done what a lot of fat people do in stressful times and turned to food, the takeaway was nice for the time then the guilt came on big time afterwards. Can't dwell though, god knows how much I would have gained at my weigh in this week but hey ho its two days away mays well do some damage limitation

Damage limitation for the week going well. Very busy day at work so no time to snack . Got home and made tuna and chilli salad with 2 boiled eggs on the side, feel like I have a new spur of energy, this week may have been a blessing in disguise

I think you're doing brilliant Paul

I know it can be hard to resist temptation, that night I posted that I could live without potatoes I ended up ordering a take-out including fries o_O

Not had any since though and don't intend to... might possibly get a take-out on Monday as my mate is coming around... if he comes around tea-time
I'll do that, and if he comes around dinner he'll have to make do with something saladish

Day 29

As I have wrote on here had a terrible week diet wise BUT got weighed this morning and I have lost 2lbs. Over the moon with this as it means I have now lost a stone in a month. Being into the 13st bracket feels amazing right now too

It really is so hard to resist, but it really doesn't make you feel good afterwards, well mine didn't. One thing I did notice though is it got rid of the craving I had in the back of my head . Guess a little one as a treat every now and then might be good in a way to spur your mind and body on.... as long as we don't go all crazy with it

Exactly. Personally I was munching watching the Olympics closing ceremony... But yes, the occasional treat is absolutely fine!

Had to get my 15 year old dog put down today. Been very hard day

Sorry to hear about your dog Paul its an awful thing to go through x
