29 Stone Start Weight Diary by Lou

[toxicsgrl]

It is surprising how many cals are in certain foods, which all add up so I too add everything, one of the reasons I like slim fast is because I only have to think about one meal, I also like if you keep snax and meal healthy that it's nutritionally balanced

yeah thats the same reason why i like slim fast. i was dropping my son to school then grazing all day long, having tea then having crisps or something equally as unhealthy for supper, every single night!! and i dont miss it really!

today while i walking up the stairs, i noticed i was doing it like a normal person and not some heaving panting great lump, like i used too!!! so a week or so of restricted calories has made a big difference already! and my partner said all my squidgy bits seem to be softer maybe TMI but still, its nice hes noticing!!

Well done, these are great achievements walking up the stairs easier is fantastic !
I also think the body gets squiggier, I know my tummy has, I suppose it's lost it's stuffing now lol.
Eating definitely becomes a habit, I started going to the shop every evening usually for milk or bread, and I'd buy hubbie and myself a bar of chocolate, then it increased to 2 bars, then it was the big share bags of M & Ms ( each) !!
I don't miss it either x

Sadly, I am a self-confessed chocoholic, and I do miss my chocolate fix. So I have a Freddo bar every day for 95 calories and that quitens the chocolate beast in me down very well - a huge improvement on the family sized bars of fruit and nut I used to eat before

Christ, when I think about the crap I used to just graze without even thinking about it , I am surprised I wasn't a lot fatter!

I am that fatter! It's horrid! I think about it too! I know it was only 2 weeks ago but still it's the past now! I would eat loads of crap and was never hungry and that's so bad!! Especially when it was TOM, I'd crave high fat things and just eat them all day long! I think because my TOM has just ended yesterday, and I didn't eat or crave one item of junk food, that is my biggest acheivement coz if I can be good in that week then I can be good in any week. I really think that's what the difference is with this diet. In the past I'd wait til Monday to start a diet, then I'd wait til after my period. But this time I just started it without thinking and now my new way of eating and losing weight is a habit I'm doing it!!!! If u knew me in rl you would be amazed by this!!!

I think us women are stronger than we give our selves credit for!
How many of us keep our families going?
I work as does my hubbie, granted a few hours a day more than me but when he gets home that's his day done, we do washing, ironing, cooking, shopping, taking care of the children taking care of hubbie!
I make sure the children eat healthily, and hubbie who is vegi and suffers diverticular disease ( similar to IBS) I walk the dog etc the list is endless.
We really must add ourselves into this list as its important we stay healthy.
Once we make the decision, we feel happier, and determined to do it.
Stay strong, I know we can do this x

You go girl. And don't you put yourself down. You are doing something about it now, so don't look over your shoulder at the past because that woman has GONE now and is replaced by a stronger, more confident, more positive one who wants changes in her life and knows how to get them :bighug:

Thanks for coming over to say hi it's nice to have other people to talk to going through the same things!

I know. I keep reminding myself that I want to feel confident in myself and not ever have to buy size 24 ever ever ever again!

 

[toxicsgrl]

yeah it'll be nice to go shopping for smaller sizes keep trying to imagine myself as thin, but cant!! so looking forward to going into a shop and choosing something in a 'normal size' even like 18 or something, and not just ordering it online coz im too ashamed to go out and buy something!

 

[Toria 1]

Same here

 

[toxicsgrl]
