Thank you again. Had a good day, just had a cheesy veg bake and there is enough left for tomorrow. Have walked more as well. Feeling so so, general mood is low, so staying on track is a big positive!

Thank you littlemissslim and rae rae for taking the time to read and reply. It still feels scary having revealed so much. However I need to be this honest I think to stand a chance of succeeding. OK so first day has involved the inventive use of basics and store cupboards at least till I get...

Took a break and reread my post. That is as honest as I have probably been for a long time. It has left me feeling a little scared, and somewhat vulnerable. And for some reason stupidly lonely :(

Love the user name, I am a fellow Who fan myself, only 34 days to go!! I look forward to following your plan :)

Well, I am sure there will be some who remember me. I am ashamed to admit that I am returning yet again. For those who don't, here is a brief introduction. My name in KB, I am almost 32 years old and have been overweight since childhood, when I mistakingly thought food and being big would stop...

Your welcome. I have been inspired by you to continue my diary, whcih I found mere minutes ago, so hopefully we can support each other!!!

gosh! I forgot I started this thread...well in 6 months I have lost weight, not quite as consistent or as much as I would have hoped, but at least it has not gone the other way. Will try and keep this diary up as a further commitment to myself, if anyone wants to chip in at any point feel free...

Welcome to minimins! You will find lots of support, encouragement and friendliness here :) I can really relate to your post. I have started and stopped more times than I can count, and although I have had a stressful time it has been easyto blame all that rather than take responsibility for...

thank you for your comments, I really appreciate the time you have taken to reply. I feel slightly more positive today. Have got myself a lovely new set of stationary, just for slimming world things - a journal and pen to record my thoughts and feelings, wallets for my food diaries and a binder...

well, I am back. Feeling so-so, tail not quite between my legs. Things have been super stressful with mum and work and life, and 'me' took a back seat for a bit, but the time away has made me evaluate what I want and what I need. Got back on the scales and I have lost a few pounds so am not...

Will I got on the scales...figured it would be best to see the damage sooner than later. And I have had a loss :eek: I am blaming the stress. Going to really try and get back on track this week. Thanks for the continued support x

hiya all...not been here in a while....my mum got quite poorly and is now paralysed...looks like my life is going to change. Feel like I have lost control of everything including eating. Darent get back on the scales

not been the best of weeks, eating the wrong things but have really increased my exercise...and lost the 2lb so pleased with that!

was so excited to have one of this, opened the pot and the first whiff i got reminded me of cornettos and after eight...the taste did not....yuk!! will not be having anymore!!

2 lbs on :cry: gutted, but if I am honest, I deserved more on. had a rubbish week with work and illness and scoffed my weight in throat smoothers and other comforts. back on plan though, and will have that 2lb off by the end of the week!

Hi Annie!

thanks Susie. I have had a better day. I do write things down but only for myself...maybe I need to publish!!

weigh in day....really binged at end of this week...really need to get in control of my emotional eating!!! anyhoo had a 3lb loss which I know I should be pleased with but in reality I feel I don't deserve it :confused:

by gum its nippy out there!! feel i may have a warming mug of hot chocolate...shame i haven't any cream for the top of it, but then again that wouldnt be very slimming :D

Well, i resisted the chocolate! Yay me!!

A loss is a loss tho still not happy. And I have toothache too which is really not helping. My neighbour gave my sister a big bar or chocolate as she takes her bins out for her. My sister is a skinny mini and could eat the lot without a worry, but it makes it hard for me cos I know it is in the...

Weigh in day and 1lb off. Feel half pleased and half disappointed. Hopefully will have a better week, and less emotion!! :o

Ok, really need to combat emotional eating. Thought I was doing well, but had a horrid stressful exhausting day yesterday and rather than stick to the healthy meal planned I was tempted by the take away. I feel so disappointed in myself this morning, but also have got straight back on plan, and...

Thanks guys. Have had a good day so far, no real exercise as such but lots of running up and down the stairs at work. I attempted to make omelette for tea but it ended up more frittata ish. Was yummy though. And have made lunch for tomorrow so feeling pretty organised!

Baked bean lasagne - yum yum yum! Easily made six portions so three of them have been put in the freezer and myself, mum and sister pleasantly full!! I did tweak the recipe slightly by adding the syn free cottage cheese to the top before adding the cheese. Made it much cheesier and so scrummy...

I had the exact same thoughts three days ago, nothing was going right and I ate ate ate. I thought about giving up, but instead (with support of here) let go of the day and got back on plan. And I still had a loss. You will move on from this, don't lose heart or hope KB x

Shockingly another 7lb off :eek::eek::D 3stonetosexy 10lbs (2.5lbs lost - 7.5lbs to go) Aesir22 5lbs (0lbs lost - 5lbs to go) Amandab 10lbs (1.5lbs lost - 8.5lbs to go) benji55 10lbs (0lbs lost ~ 10lbs to go) Bev1963 7lbs (3lbs lost ~ 4lbs to go) Blue*Smartie 8.5 lbs (0lbs lost ~ 8.5lbs to go)...

Good afternoon all! Well, due to work reasons and family reasons I have had to change me weigh in day to Sundays. To say I got on the scales this morning with some trepedation would be an understatement! Six days since last weigh in and a big blow out half way through the week, well, I wasn't...

I am sure it was aimed at me, she is a right stuck up witch who thinks she is better than everyone else. I used my upset and anger in a positive way at least and went on my sisters cross trainer for 10 minutes. First time for everything and I will try and build up the time.

I am really bad at applying positive messages and encouragement to myself. I have extremes of feeling really good and then really bad about myself. Just had a horrible expereince at my local butchers. I live in a little town and the butchers shop is quite small and is always busy. I went in...

thanks for the replies you loveleys. I have had a better day today, resisted the crisps at work and have so far only used 2syns.Still have a HEB to use so have a cereal bar I can use for that and hopefully that will take care of my sweet craving!!! Will dip it in a cup of options if need be...

well I attempted to rescue my disastorous day and have speed soup for tea, which I ended up burning and so I succumbed to the take away :mad::cry: now feel I have wrecked everything and am asking myself whats the point??

welcome to the forum (from a born yorkshire lass but now living over the border in red rose country (just - please don't hiss and boo, I am lovely really :D) KB x

Bit of a blip had today... Had a funeral to go to so not a normal day by any stretch. And in the moment I have eaten way too much, and am now feeling like I have scuppered my hard work so far. On the plus side (though it is hard to see one right now, very emotional I am :cry:) I decided I...

Thank you....really not sure how I managed such a loss but I won't complain!! I am also not complacent that I could break plan every weekend with the same loss. I am treating it as a one off. The next weekend (at the end of Feb) will be a bigger challenge though, as a night out will be...

I am well delighted having made me target two weeks early (with a 7lb loss), so will try for another 3lb by the 31st. 3stonetosexy 10lbs (2.5lbs lost - 7.5lbs to go) Aesir22 5lbs (0lbs lost - 5lbs to go) Amandab 10lbs (1.5lbs lost - 8.5lbs to go) benji55 10lbs (0lbs lost ~ 10lbs to go) Bev1963...

well, weigh in day. I haven't been posting as I have had a weekend away, full board so to speak, with all dinners planned for me....whilst a little worried about how I would manage this I figured I would stick to the plan for all other meals, take lots of healthy syn free snacks and avoid the...

Thanks for all the comments you guys and for reading my ramblings. I am sure one day that will power will abandon me but so far so good!! Four days on plan and I am itching to get on the scales tho I know that won't be the best idea!!

Really proud of myself today. Had a run in with someone, really stressful day all in all, and I found myself reaching for and taking a choc from the tub....but then I thought what am I doing?? I am not hungry I am not craving I am just stressed!! And I have power over my stress, not the other...

Another day, was ok (just ok). Spent most of the day feeling sick (smell of fresh paint being the problem) and ended up having to suck five imperial mints. Ho hum. Still resisiting the chocolates and sweets at work. Had a salad for my lunch, have just had roasted veg cous cous for my tea, and...

I love my jewellery so thats a brilliant idea thank you. So first day back on plan, and it was ok. Managed to order a healthy jacket spud for lunch, had lots of fruit and water. A left over tub of celebrations was doing the rounds too and I resisted temptation, having an options hot choc...

I have sought help aesir, i had over a year of counselling from a specialist eating disorder team but this ended as they said i needed counselling specific to the abuse. I went for that and they said my eating and health currently needed to be addressed more urgently so signed me of. I feel...

ok, first goal set (7lb loss) plus an incentive to get me there. are incentives good ideas? as long as they are not food related?

Thank you again for your lovely replies and understanding. I really want this time to be the time it works, not just for the added health benefits and better range of clothes but I hope it will (at least symbolically) let me finally let go of the past. My uncle had no right to do what he did...

Thank you everyone, you are all such a lovely bunch of people, and I am sure I will be calling on your support. I tried group for a while, but clashed with my consultant early on and have never really felt comfortable. So I am going to try online, and will weigh in here too. Maybe when I feel a...

Hello everyone, For what feels like the 16th time I am returning to the forum with my head hung low. I seemed to have started and stalled so many times I wonder why this time should be any different...I always swore I would lose weight and feel great by the time I turned 25, then 28. Well the...

Ok, one week down, one rubbish crap week, but i did more exercise and managed a small loss. Going to really really sort things out and hope for a better result next time. KB x

ho hum. not having a good week at all. really stressed with lots of things and of course all good intentions have gone out the window and i'm about to tuck into a takeaway. really going to try harder, i just need to have a sit down and give myself a reality check :(

And i'm off!! I weighed in this morning, having avoided the scales for the past six months knowing my weight was blooming as my clothes got tighter and the pains got worse. It wasn't a shock what faced me, but I still had a little cry thinking how could I have been so stupid. But now I am...

Hi everyone, Well I'm back and weigh more than ever :o:cry::eek: But rather than give in and figure I'm meant to be this way, I have decided enough is enough!! Whilst things aren't settled in my life at the mo I'd be stupid to keep delaying (and to be honest, making excuses). I am also...

thank you all again. i have felt pretty alone for a while and to know that i am not means so much.

thank you all for your kind words. i was very apprehensive of posting, and wasn't sure if it was allowed due to the subject matter. and i am sorry if this has been a trigger for anyone. i only recently made the connection between the abuse and my weight, and i was completly overwhemled, felt a...

thank you, i feel in a stronger place than i was though it is miles to go and all that

thank you x

thank you all for the hugs and support going to be brave here and tell you something....my eating is linked to my childhood abuse. i thought by eating and getting fat my abusers would not want to touch me, that if i was completly fat and unattractive they would be disgusted and leave me alone...

Things have suddenly become a lot clearer, all those failed weight loss dreams, why i was binging in the first place. I am still overwhelmed but feel that maybe finally I am on the right path. I am going to be starting therapy soon, and am also hoping that i can get back into slimming world as...

i am watchin the goonies now! love it! i have never seen stand by me, or dirty dancing for that matter! not a sex and the city fan either

i love my films, into all genres apart from horror. i haven't seen any 'new' films recently so anything i recommend you may have already seen. but here is what i would watch if i was having a day of films: bugsy malone - love it, know all the words! chocolat - nicely romantic, not too over the...

thank you all for welcoming me back! i feel a little relieved to not be the only one who has stalled on their weight loss journey :)

thank you louise, i look forward to meeting lots of new people and getting back in touch with the oldies!! i am trying to work through things, and like my weight loss it will be a long rocky traumatic and difficult journey, but i am in it for the long haul...and hopefully the support here...

...i am sorry i disappeared! i have been gone for a while i know, but i do hope i am still welcome. my weight loss - well, stalled would be an understatment. i have gone through a really tough time the least year. maybe i am sharing too much in saying i hit rock bottom - to the point where i...
