hello dawn, i'm not doing too bad.
i'm a bit like you - eat - and then think why???
i had my wi in fri and had lost 5lb so i was REALLY happy with that, and that proved to be i could do it, no cheating does work!
and then i went to work (indian rest) and couldnt help but pick!
i had a few bits of chicken with a little curry sauce, some sag and a few gr beans.
and then was angry with myself!!!!!!
i thought, well i'm not getting weighed till next week.
but i went to the beach (woolacombe) all day yest, everybody we went wth was picnicing for lunch, tea a barbie for tea, and i felt MEGA hungry, i could of quite easy joined them (although i didnt pack enough!) all for those bits of chicken!
i wont be doing it again, the week before when i didnt eat i felt so in control, and didnt miss food half as much, i thought i'd got my head round it.
it was a case of dish up the family tea, and then "right, what flavour am i having?"
when i cheat, i dish up and think "i want some" dip my finger -lick etc etc....and it rolls from there.
oes make me a bit nervous about the maintenance though, but thats another bridge!!
well, if its day 1 for you, good luck!!
just keep going......have you got a goal?
a dress to fit into?
a party/sp event to go to?
holiday?
that can be a great incentive.
72lb is a massive amount to lose - you must be so proud of yourself already!!!
is it hard to shift the last 26??
could you move up the plans or is it to early??
i'm off to the beach again today, so hopefully wont be to bad as the freind i'm going with today is doing it to.
she started a week tomoz, and likes a drink, and today s when its the hardest as theres live music in a few beer gardens so we'll be supporting each other!!
have a wonderful and food free day, what ever you do. good luck with onedayatatime....xxx
