Jeezo Abz, just reading through and had to stop here. Thats bloody amazing!!! You had Ferreo rocher in your house for a whole day and never ate it. That shows some restraint. But as you said, your mind set is differant now. I must admit to still doing the avoidance thing at times with food. You're doing so well since it was something you hadn't planned on.xxxused to love themnot good for dunking in tea though... and let's face it. that's the sign of a real biscuit
ooh. just remembered that dark choc forerro rocher i got given in the supermarket yesterday as a tester. i might actually eat it now... ha. although the thought of eating chocolate makes me feel funny. the mindset i set myself must have been pretty damn convincing the way i keep reacting to food today!!

Hi Abz, I have been not been posting much lately but have been reading your posts which I must say are very entertaining!!!! You will make a great CDC, as you are really realistic and honest about your progress.
I have been SS and SS+ for about 4 weeks, then I went out to eat 4 times in one week, and twice last week and still lost 3lbs. I decided as I was only losing 2lbs average a week, I decided to have the packs for breakfast and lunch, and then eat a meal in the evening if I want to. This is not the 1000 cal plan, but 'my plan' and it seems to be working. My point is, I have now established control which is what this is ultimately what CD is about......and you seem to have done the same! On that note, I about to have my donut!

ha. thanks pittville. i hope yours is nicer than mine was i don't think i could have let myself have a donut if i was still doing cd. i'm finding it hard to break down the barriers i built myself. i didn't mind so much if it was something low carb but i felt bloody awful with carb hangover if i cheated too much. so i generally stuck to the straight and narrow most of the time. now that i am vaguely calorie counting, and really not kidding myself about what i'm putting in my mouth, i really think cd has done most of the work of sorting my brain out. i know that whatever i want will be there another time if i still want it. i still have a teeny voice (a much teenier voice than ever before) saying, but another bit would taste just as nice. but i know that it won't.
i also think that the paul mckenna book and cd have worked wonders with me on this. i'm learning to eat really slowly. tonight i am feeling munchy even though i'm not hungry. but i'm slowly eating a small amount of pineapple and that seems to be helping.
it really is a surreal experience... and it seems silly that it is because it's something that so many people have always done. but to me it just seems strange!!

Yummy!!! Not that I am advocating donuts. For all the money and willpower that this has costed me, I know I will never go back donut or no donut.
I just typed this long reply to you, but deleted it by mistake..........arrghhh!! Anyway, my point was that I hope you still continue to post on here as you have helped me thru the 'strict' days, and kept me going on some rough times on CD...........and I still have 17lbs to go. BTW, how do i see your pics??

well guys, i'm back. the scales are still on the way up but i've gained less than 2lbs so far, so hardly disasterous given that my body now has the weight of the food i've eaten in it. have had low fat yoghurt and some pineapple for brekkie, a jacket potato with tuna for lunch and have some pasta for tea and some satsumas and an apple for snacks. oh. and my prune activia seems like a horrendously large amount of food but i suppose i am here until 11... so we'll see how much of it i manage. i had to eat my jacket potato in two sittings an hour apart, ha. this small stomach thing rocks
i also seem to be doing well in not drinking quite so much coffee, although it is accidental and i'm sure i'm going to get horrendous headaches shortly so think i'll make myself a cup of tea (we've run out of coffee at work) and hope that that's enough to keep me going...

la la laaaaaaaaaaaa -- i'm bored at work again. it's a slow afternoon, it's going to be an even slower evening.... or at least i hope so, ha.
the guys are shifting machinery around. i offered to help do it the other day but apparently it needs men. can't say i mind. my upper body strength is pathetic, ha. they didn't say as much but at least the two chaps are busy.
i am working on my programming again. i've had a nice break for a couple of weeks but unfortunately it's quiet enough for me to continue now... although i've totally forgotten where i got to with it so it's going to take me a while to get back into the swing of things methinks...

well guys. looks like totm is here. i didn't even know i had one looming as i only just had one. get them when i go on cd, then they stop, get them when i come off cd, hopefully they'll stop all together now though with my implant... but not yet. so hopefully some of this weight gain is water retention.
weigh in is on monday. waaargh. wanted to be at least the same weight as when i left

well i've given in and am having a manky machine coffee, which actually tastes quite nice, ha. but it is nothing in comparison to my usual caffeine habit so i'll try not to feel too bad.
it's so unfair that everyone else seems to be having a busy life while i talk to myself on here... work is sloooooooooooooow and i'm finding it really hard to concentrate on coding at the mo. bleurgh.
