Hi caffinated! :wavey:
Thought I'd drop by and say hello - and a big well done for keeping going! :happy096:
I'm hoping its theraputic to log everything in a diary and vent rather than emotionally eating so I think there will be a lot of updates to follow!
This made me smile - that's exactly what I do.
I figure if it's out of my head and down on the page, it's got to be better than having all those thoughts sloshing around in my mind. I think the trick is to be really honest about how you're feeling. I've had quite a few "A-ha!" moments when writing stuff down...
Ive had 2 of my shakes already today and am still starving - is it ok to have one extra if need be - has anyone done this before?
Too late now, I know - but yes - if needs be, have another shake. Much better than heading for the fridge! It'll take your mind off eating other food. The other good tip that I often forget in the heat of the moment is to go and brush your teeth. Sometimes just tasting something different does the trick.
Feeling really crappy right now, had a fight with my father about the diet, because its been so on and off with my weight recently he wants me to quit the diet and eat peoperly and excercise. I know its my fault ive dithered but my parents dont help at all, constantly sniping at me, practically overjoyed when i stopped the diet last time because they didnt want me to lose any more weight only to have a go at how overweight i was. Am really upset/pissed off. Wish they would show some support instead of pushing me to fail all the time. All i want to do right now is binge on some fatty foods - i knows its the emotional thing and i need to ignore it but some support from my family would be nice!
end of rant
Ah, parents.
It's been a long time since I lived with mine, but even now, my Dad has the power to upset me over my weight. I probably shouldn't let him have that power - especially as some of the things he's said over the years have actually caused me to fall off diets, etc. He means well, but it doesn't come out that way, it just sounds like criticism. Stick to your guns, hun. It's your body, your diet, your life. Tell him the only way you're going to learn is to give something a go and that even if it doesn't seem like the right thing to him, it might well be the right thing for you. It's interesting that your sister also has issues with her weight...
So today is going well so far, still not caved in and its 4.5 days in without eating, was worried about today as i normally always eat on the weekends, last night i was craving eggs and argued with myself internally about going to the kitchen and scoffing some my mum had made which smelt divine - i am still worried as i am off to the office in a bit to catch up on work, need to make sure i dont buy anything to nibble on - might have to leave my wallet at home for enforcement of a clean weekend - no money = no buying anything
:sigh:
You can do it, hun! Eggs will still be there when you've done with the diet (and will be a good thing to eat when you get there!). Stay strong - and yeah, leave your wallet at home!
Don't work too hard!!
