Good morning ladies, I'm back again after yet another weekend of weddings and jovalities. Been doing some serious soul searching whilst away binging at the buffet table, I'm away with the girls a week on Friday so it's unrealistic to expect miracles before then. Also, I'm running low on products and have no inclination to waste any more money until I'm in a position to commit to doing this 100%. I've decided to carry on with my miserable efforts to loose weight but I'm going to do some low carbing for a while and see how I get on.
I am a total carb junkie, so being an all or nothing kinda gal, I think it's better that I try the avoidance method for a bit!
I seriously do believe that I have some serious food issues, by watching the people around me I realise that I do not have the same control around food that others seem to naturally have. I keep saying that I want to feel "normal" but I'm coming to the realisation that it's the one thing I'll never be around food. I don't have that little switch in my head that says "stop, you've had enough".
Food is my drug of choice and I'm feeling so very sad about it.

Most of us here are addicted to food Anne. Some of us have come to the realisation sooner than others. I believe food addictions should be treated the same as nicotine and alcohol addictions. In some respects it's even more difficult to resolve a food addiction because you can never completely abstain from it like alcohol or cigarettes.
That said since I've embraced this theory I've worked hard to control my food intake (with some success) and it's been easier in the knowledge that it's an issue I have to work to fix rather than just saying I'm big boned or I lost the genetic lottery.

Totally think you should have a look at the Paleo diet Anne. Think it will suit you for the next 2 weeks until you go away. once back you should use your wedding as Thinsparation as I like to call it

The only consolation I take is that I have maintained the same weight now for months. Granted, it's not the weight I would like to be, but I seem to go up and down, losing and gaining the same 7lbs, I don't seem to put any more on.
I'm going to try and move a little bit in the down direction over the next couple of weeks, if I take the pressure off then maybe I won't want to binge out on everything I know I'm not allowed to have.
Liz - had a brief look at a beginners guide to the paleo diet, I'm going to download an ebook for more info, but from what I've read it sounds like that's what I was planning so alls good. (Although I will still have milk for tea!) It's like Atkins without the cream and cheese! Lol.
It's a different approach for me so I'll give it a go and see how I feel.

Good plan Anne. I have milk in tea and coffee and hasn't affected me. In terms of sausages, I can recommend heck sausages. They sell the in tesco. Really high meat content and lower in fat than some of the others.
Jo, kiwi - how you getting on?
I've been so busy in work today I've literally not had time to think of food. Just been for a run, now on the train. X
Total loss - 3 stone 7lb

Hope your feeling better Jo. Sometimes it's not the right time for you body, I had it once where I proper suffered for like 10 days and as soon as I ate I felt better. It's such a hard diet, hence why I'm not doing it anymore. Too much now I'm exercising so much. You have to listen to your body. X

Well i'm also incorporating intermittent fasting this week. I'm not eating anything after 3pm. I'm starving at the moment. Had a shake and eggs for breakfast, then chicken, carrots, peas and 1 potato followed by a yogurt and a coffee at 3. Nothing only cups of tea and water since. Think my insides are going to start knocking off each other soon!

14 nights to Kusadasi. Staying on Ladies Beach. Cannot wait. I need some sun on my skin. Bringing Dad and the munchkin too so it will be a quiet relaxing one with day trips and no late ones on Bar St - just what I need. Hubs reckons I love being old lol! Last time we were there was about 14 years ago (just the hubs) and it was rough enough at night so I'm glad we're staying out of that area.

Sounds good Kiwi. That's my plan too, relax the whole time
One thing I've noticed about losing weight is that I'm freezing, I'm sure the weight/fat warmed me up lol. Need to buy some more jumpers!!!

I'm in size 12 M&S trousers today and they are comfortable on me (just right on the waist but loose on the hips), medium forever 21 blouse and a size 8 cardi from dunnes stores so I'm in or around a 10-12 at the moment. I'm definitely a 10 in Primark especially in tops and M&S but a 12 in the smaller fitting shops. I'm a 10 in jeans too at the moment.
