    I am so tired today - could that be a side effect of eating at the Chinese yesterday? I am v cold as well, despite the fact that for once the sun is out. Can't wait til bedtime, gonna be an early one me thinks. Hot bath as well. In fact I might even catch 40 winks just now - on the downside...

    Willpower.... where do I find that?!?!?

    I feel miserable. Did really well all day but got a little stressed out, came home and made an omelette, again, and then ate some chicken. Not too bad I hear you say - well my disappointment lies in the fact that I was full after the omelette, I didn't need to eat the chicken and I did. To be...

    Yep think that's right about balsamic vinegar, but if you have been using it and are still in Ketosis you might be getting away with it. I use fat free sweet chilli dressing I seem to get away with that. Have a good day - I've got a long one :-( will be taking plenty of water . In fact I...

    Aw I know x thanks, I just have some low moments. I am proud of the way I have dealt with the whole thing in general and I must say is a bit of motivation for the diet. I am trying to encourage my friend who is doing a similiar diet to get on this site - I think the support is amazing, I am...

    I think fybo gel is a bulking agent more than a laxative so I would def try sennakot if you are desperate, it's a natural ingredient and not too aggressive, movicol is also good, but not sure if you can by that over the counter. I went to my dance class and had a fab time, I still haven't...

    Why do I think I can lose 1stone overnight? Weighed in today and have lost 19lbs in two weeks and initially I felt disappointed ?!?!?! What's wrong with me? If anyone else on here said they had lost that I would think it was great - ggrr I annoy myself sometimes. I had an omelette today, don't...

    Willpower.... where do I find that?!?!?

    What a day. I was in a meeting that went on much longer than it should, hence I was not prepared food wise. I couldn't get away to get anything and started to get really light headed and couldn't concentrate. There was biscuits galore but I had half a plain scone and that was it. Just hope...

    Chuffed - went to my dance class which was fab and was worried about eating, but I got some cooked chicken and a tiny packet of raw cashews nuts before I went. I ate the nuts and was full do I have just had the chicken on my return. Also I came home to some stress - my ex husband has really...

    Willpower.... where do I find that?!?!?

    Well here is an omen... I was at work today and through boredom/stress I went to look in the fridge to see if there was anything I could pick on. It's a tall catering fridge and when I opened the door the entire contents fell out on me, including beans, prunes and tinned fruit - messy. I gave...

    Would you believe I weighted myself again after I had peed - 1lb loss incredible lol. I've sneaked home for work to hang my washing out and have a shake. I've been so busy today , it is always a rush when I am teaching in the evenings, won't to stop it if I am honest but love it so much. This...

    Blooming heck! Our situations are very similar except the difference is instead of wanting time on his own he went back to his ex wife :-( . He says he's not happy there but is doing it for his teenage daughter which I have to understand. I too am waiting thinking once he realises that two...

    I may not see him until the end of July so I am praying that by then not only will I have been at my target weight for a weed while but I will also be comfortable in my skin and feeling more confident. I'm know he didn't leave me due to my weight but to be able to smile and say "your loss...

    Well! My 10 year old got the puberty talk at school today and joined Facebook all in one afternoon - don't know what has caused it the talk about sex or if he feels cool cos he has Facebook but I would quite happily pit him up for sale - he has been a right cheeky so and so. I'm a bit light...

    I too have had a good day - am chuffed cos I went to work and still stuck to diet, mind you an outbreak of Noravirus will do that lol. Instead of coming home and pigging out I had a lie down and then felt much better. Resulting my books, I'm taking small wins each day just now. I tried some...

    Willpower.... where do I find that?!?!?

    Aw Hun x don't look on it as a negative - you are only human and if you aren't weighing in til Thurdsay you have plenty of time to catch up, if you are going to eat try and stick to as much protein as you can so you can stay in ketosis x
  201. susie chisholm

    Willpower.... where do I find that?!?!?

    I would say day 3 of week one is the hardest so just stick with it and done give in. think about it if you go to bed early you are half way through the day already. drink lots and lots of water, stick your favourite song on loud and dance it all away. That's distraction and exercise and fun...

    Willpower.... where do I find that?!?!?

    Aw- sweets are my downfall as well. I have prepared another green salad and chicken to take to work with me, I'm aiming to keep myself very busy at work so I am not tempted to eat. It's such a long shift I must admit I'm worried, however I will stay strong- hopefully. I think if we fall off...

    Willpower.... where do I find that?!?!?

    Willpower.... where do I find that?!?!?

    Willpower.... where do I find that?!?!?

    Isn't it awful, but the thought of seeing him again and looking a lot better keeps me going a bit. I know we should lose weight for ourselves and I so agree with that but what is it they say "Revenge is living well". I feel much more motivated than I did earlier this evening, am optimistic for...

    For sure. I have just finished week one and to be honest was thinking about not carrying on despite a very good weight loss this week, before finding this site. I have just been dumped last week by the love of my life. I had already ordered the diet and hadn't worked out how I would tell my...

    If only we could bottle will power. This is what worries me about VLCD, I'm on my second attempt at one. I think they are great for losing weight fast but they don't teach us about will power or indeed changing our mind set to have a more 'normal' attitude towards food and eating. Good Luck I...
