CarolineM's new improved diary

- Start date
I was younger and thinner in my avatar picture. Plus was professionally done and had lots of self-tan on lol
Can't believe how quiet it is in here - where are the new peeps? Hope you are all enjoying the diet
Another weekend ahead and must say after speaking to my mum yesterday, I think she has finally got it - she is going to do us some new potatoes, white fish and veggies for dinner tomorrow. I love fish - it's one thing I really miss on DC.
Right on with work - it's been really busy lately. That's good though - more money in the pot for those DC boxes

It has gone really quiet, seens just us here nowadays, never mind.
As long as we still have people around to support each other and the new DCers coming along I guess - the DC forum is busy which is perhaps why this one isn't!
I resisted the urge for Nandos and have put my veg out already so it's just a case of switching on the steamer. Nandos would have been okay but the fact is, I only wanted Nandos cos I'm tired. Tiredness is my real diet killer to be honest!

Well done for resisiting Nandos!
Good news about Mum - that's a relief for you coz I know it was a challenge every week.
I'm glad you've got the pennies coming in to pay for DC ... what is it that you do?? I have a feeling I know but I can't remember, forgive me - it's me age dear xx

xxYeah, the situation with mum was putting a real downer on things but now with her on board I honestly feel a sense of certainty and a new found determination.
I'm a self-employed virtual legal secretary - i.e. I sit at home typing hehe! Get paid per minute of typing so it's piece work - I like it like that as what I put in, I get out. No covering for lazy people
Going to be a nice day today Just had granola with raisins and milk for breakfast. Think we are going out for lunch - a shop called Booths which is near mum's so will get some soup and a roll - it's the safest option, even in warm weather.
Must admit, I never liked soup much but I'm starting to get rather fond of it hehe!
Hope everyone has a great long weekend and enjoys the sun, oh and behaves lol

lol Virtually legal sounds about right. Hmm, I know a lot of complicate, albeit useless, words lol
Yesterday went well but I felt like a bloated elephant. Feel the same today. Now I did get on the scales on Friday and was chuffed but this morning those scales are showing a big gain so guess it's a case of water retention - I do wish there was some rhyme or reason to water retention but it just seems to strike randomly.
Hoping it shifts today so I get a good result tomorrow Mind you, I don't mind not getting a great result if I know why I haven't got a great result
Hope you are all enjoying the weather

Had a mishap which has led to a little Xenical side effect but not too bad - I ate my dinner late yesterday and took my tablet late, forgot and had some Revels (within calories). Well Revels are definitely more than 5% fat, doh!
Have ordered more DC - signed up to the ongoing programme thing so I get the week free. Am looking forward to trying the porridge

Whoops - confession time, again! I was a bad girl and had pizza and yep chocolate last night (obviously no Xenical!).
But hey, that was last night and I'm back on track today.
I don't think it was comfort eating, I just think sometimes I feel a bit deprived or I get tired. Still hoping for a loss this week but means being a good girl until Monday, which I'm sure I can do as apart from the occasional blips, I'm very much in the zone.
Here's to onwards and downwards lol

Weird posting straight after myself several times in a row but hey, I'm honoured by any replies I get - it's way better than my personal diary (not "pay" this or that in it)
Chicken curry tonight with onion, mushroom and a chopped up chilli. Then got an orange for later.
I'm really looking forward to dinner cos I'm hungry lol

Errrrrrm - so what do YOU call comfort eating then ... LOL!!
I know you can sort it - it's that 80/20 thing isn't it?
(Now don't be working out if you've done the whole 'not sticking strictly for 20% of the time thing' LOL! )
Well done for still being in the 'zone'!
I've definitely done the 80% good thing
Hmm, comfort eating to me has more to do with emotions, i.e. when I'm stressed or worried. I used to be really bad but have worked hard on recognising that angle.
Imho, my big thing is laziness - I mean, chopping veg is so much work
You got all your food in?

Woohoo It's sunny, very very nice and sunny
And it's Friday, a very very sunny and nice Friday
Getting my hair cut really short tomorrow morning. Hmm, wonder how much hair weighs lol
Did pop on the scales and think I may have one of those weird gains but it's a few days to go and I'm probably still recovering from my naughty pizza. I'm expecting a gain or STS this week - it's my usual result for week 3 regardless of whether I've been good or naughty.
Fingers crossed it turns around those - I'd love to break the week 3 habit

Yes it sure is a lovely day!!
I've had a really stressful few weeks family wise and haven't been around as much as I would have liked in the last couple of days due to running round with them but I think there's finally light at the end of the tunnel. The only down side really is I've missed out on sleep - which I don't cope well with so hoping to be able to catch up over the weekend. As I'm working it means that I'll spend the sunny weekend days in bed - but I need it so never mind.
I also think comfort eating is about emotions, I know what you mean, but I think the things you mentioned ie feeling deprived or tired also bring the emotions that comfort food (debatably) 'helps'. Does that sound pedantic? Sorry if so - don't mean to nit-pick
BTW! Chopping veg is ABSOLUTELY too much like hard work!! Bird's eye steam veg packs are £1 on offer at Tesco ya know
Have a super weekend. xx
