i have finished work!! woohoo!! ha. so get to go home shortly when OH turns up. looks like we aren't going out to the fireworks now, but we might. we'll have to wait and see. mum has to write this big report tonight. i'm a touch typist so i might help her do that since she's a one finger at a time person and OH has to be up at 6 so he's not fussed. we've had to abandon one of our mates there though. although i have told her just as she finished work so she could still come home if she wanted to. but i think she's a bit peeved...

not much i can do though. ha.

Hi everyone I havent posted for a day as I only have the laptop in the evenings as its the hubbys works laptop and he was away last night - hope you are all well and enjoying Bonfire night - i'm doing ok still sticking to the cambridge - even though every day I say right this is my last day of this diet then I think no I can do this - my weigh in day is saturday will let you know what the weight loss or gain is !!!!

 

[abz]

good morning guys. well i didn't go out to the fireworks last night. instead when my mum arrived she had to finish writing a report so i helped her do that. was shattered by bedtime having effectively doubled my working day.

they also all had a lovely dinner, of which i could have had some, it being steak and veg, but i abstained, saving it for when i can't handle it any more and have to have an ss+ day. it seems to be working for me. of course this morning i have managed to gain nearly a lb, despite being all virtuous, ha. so i need to get glugging the water today make up for it. we are off to york at some point so lots of walking about and i'm blatently going to have to bring a huge bottle of water with me to keep my fluids up.

what's the limit on water flavouring? i haven't had it in a while and can't remember. it was always far too strong as they recommended it anyways so i've never had to worry about it, but just wondered. think i'm going to have some hot now to get me drinking...

how are you all doing this morning?

Afternoon ladies,
Gailt - so sorry to hear you are feeling poorly - hope you feel better soon.
Had a busy day again today, just don't know where the times goes. Been better with the water, although the weeing drives me mad.

Also feeling very tired at the moment - is that anything to do with CD do you think .......

how is everyone elses day been ? Are we all being good girls

 

[gailt39]

hi all
sorry to report i ate chicken again !!!! had a massive arguement with OH about the diet he was against me doing it from the start this time around he says all i do is sit on the computer on here or i am sleeping he does have a point but if i cant get support from him i need to get it from somewhere he hasn't once asked me how much i have lost or even say i look better!!! so he got me so mad i ate the bloody chicken still in ketosis though so not to bad so wanted to eat some bread but never why do i let him do this to me he says im selfish now and only thinking of myself before he said all i did was nothing and sit at home and it but now because i care what i wear have my hair cut regular and do my nails i am now self obsessed could it be that i now have little time to do things for him tid up after him and have his dinner ready on the table i only work part time he works full time and tells me so everyday how he can spend HIS money on what he wants cos he does the work but i thought it was our money got that wrong i guess so i am now looking into re-evaluating my life and whether i need him in it
i am so sorry to rant but i just had to get it off my chest and i know here you all understand how unhappy i feel about my appearance and how i just want to be normal and fit in oh forgot to say he is alsoan expert on dieting just exercise and it falls off yes right thats why hes overweight too!!!!!!

 

[Sarah_V]

Hi Dancing, I must admit to being quite exhausted on this diet, you just have to make time for yourself, early nights and self care... It hasn't really gone away for me after 9 weeks!!

Gail, I really feel for you, this diet is hard for me and I get quite a lot of support from my OH and family.. I think losing weight has an odd effect on people close to us, especially if they are used to being the 'slim one' or if they are overweight with food issues themselves, seeing us succeed is just too difficult.. The chicken is nothing, you have eaten a low fat, low carb food, so don't give yourself a hard time.
If it is re-evaluation time with regards to your relationship why not give relate a call and see if you can get some counselling? I'm always happy to chat if you feel down too, hope you feel better this morning x

[randomgurl]

Is it too late to join in? I'm on my first week but dont get my official starting weight until tuesday (had issues with the scales - lol)... I figure even without the first week I might just make 2 stone before x-mas if I'm good

Y'all are doing great

and gail - sorry your having such a hard time - don't worry about the chicken though, as Sarah says you'll still stay in ketosis with it - but I hope things get better with you and your partner xxx

 

[Sarah_V]

Hi randomgurl, you are now officially a Christmas Angel - you will have no problem losing 2 stones by Christmas... welcome xx

This is a great thread with the best support ever.

Speak soon,

Sarah xx
