Thanks for the encouragement Clarri! France is nice and warm and Strasbourg is a beautiful city but ...

I'm really homesick right now. Because I just moved here I don't have any friends and I'm really missing my friends and family from home. I'm in a really bad mood, I don't feel well, it's that time of the month and I'm feeling a super strong urge to comfort eat.

It's stupid, I know because stuffing my face with chocolate or cake won't stop me feeling this way.

clarri · 24th July, 2008

Oh Silence
I have total and utter sympathy for you. Bloody TOM. would do your head in. Have you got any dark choc even? I know its not p1 but I think when you TOM'y if you can have a little something sweet, you will make it through.
Mind you, here speaks the woman who thought that SB was brilliant, but too free for me.
Stay strong. We are here for you.

Hi Silence stay strong you're doing so well!
& good for you for staying off the scales - you don't wanna get caught in that trap!

Silence · 25th July, 2008

Thanks for the support lovelies.
I'm proud to stay I stayed off the scales again this morning. I looked at them, sat there in the cupboard and thought.... NO!
I'm pleased to say I survived last night without breaking my diet as well. I lit some candles, made a big cup of tea and watched an episode of Bones on DVD (Dr Temperence Brennan is my heroine).
Then I gave my friend a call and had a little bit of a moan.
Felt better after that.

Silence · 25th July, 2008

Day 5 is over and done with (almost)
It's been a much better day today. I'm over my homesickness, my TOM has disappeared (???) and I had a good day at work. And a good food day. I just had a lovely tuna and low fat mozz salad. It was delicious.
I was hoping that my pedometer and recipe books I'd ordered off Amazon would come today, but they haven't.

oh well, c'est la vie.
Dunno what I'm going to do with myself this weekend....its forecast rain. *tuts*

Silence · 26th July, 2008

Gah! I've broken my diet.
Nothing MAJOR but I just ate an ice lolly. It's really warm and stuffy here and I'd been walking and so I was so so hot that I felt sick. I was in the supermarket and I picked up a pack of ice lollies.
Don't get me wrong, it's not like I ate a whole tub of ben and jerry's, I looked at all the ice creams and chose the ones with the lowest sugar and fat.
I guess it's not like its the end of the world. And it's not like I sat and ate the whole box in a binge. I'm just a bit disappointed.

Hi Silence

As you just said , it wasn't a whole tub of Ben & Jerrys!!!! Well done on avoiding the other ice creams and going for the sensible choice

Phew...it is warm, isn't it????

Silence · 26th July, 2008

It is. It's close to 30 degrees here in Strasbourg and so so stuffy.

~Silence~

ditzeeblonde · 26th July, 2008

Hey one ice cream is pretty good... you shouldn't feel disappointed in the fact that you obviously have good self control as its wasn't a tub of Ben & Jerry's!!

A treat every now & again is important to help keep you on the straight & narrow. xx

Silence · 26th July, 2008

Well the afternoon went from bad to worse. Obviously I ate that ice lolly, which I've forgiven myself for, but because it's so hot i've spent the entire day laying on the sofa in my shorts watching a DVD and trying to keep cool. Doing nothing -> boredom. boredom -> eating. I ate a good half a jar of crunchy peanut butter. Peanut butter is allowed as part of a snack on SB and I had my snack and just kept on snacking. Now I feel sick.
So today I've just been laying about doing NOTHING. I was planning to go for a walk this evening but it's STILL too hot. I feel so so disappointed with myself. After all my hard work and determination this week.

~Silence~

Silence · 26th July, 2008

So I'm back... again! After a little sob during my last post I decided to kick my own arse into gear and go out. I went for a 45 min walk, it's still warm (26 degrees) and I was sweating like a pig in labour but it was worth it.
I'm feeling a lot more positive now. Whilst I was walking I was thinking about how much I actually enjoy it, how much I want to lose this weight, and maybe for the first time in my life I actually thought this whole weight loss-diet think might just work out. Thats how positive I feel tonight. Gee... walks really are good for me.

~Silence~

PS. I wrote some of my thoughts down in my blog, and i'm going to use it as inspiration. thought it was a gooood idea.

Silence · 27th July, 2008

Ok, Day 6.
Weigh in tomorrow. Am a little nervous. It's my first weigh in and I'm feeling really desperate. I'm just hoping and praying that I've lost weight.
It's not been a great weekend food wise. Obviously there was the ice lolly incident and peanut butter problems yesterday and this morning, when I got back from my walk I was sick, and my stomach has been off all day. Mum told me to eat something plain... not fruit, veg, or dairy, one sliiight problem... thats all thats in my fridge. I took a sllllow walk to find a grocers open on a sunday (not common in France), found one and bought bread and plain biscuits, on mums recommendations. So thats all I've eaten today... breakfast, which I threw up, a slice of bread (which made me feel sick) and a plain biscuits, which I continued to eat because they didn't make me feel sick. Anyhoo, that packet of biscuits can't have been good for the old diet. Oh well... these things can't be helped.

Thanks Tara! I've been working hard all week, through those ups and downs of the first days of a diet. I'm just hoping, praying, it pays off. I just want the first week to be a good one, overall. I'll be so disappointed if its not!
