Today has been a struggle lots of crooked thoughts but have stayed 100% , but not much water today as I have been busy sewing.
My two grandsons were here this afternoon and it was lovely to see them running around in the garden.
So weigh in tonight and I lost 3lbs so pleased especially as I am on antibiotics.
Have had lots of crooked thoughts today ,asking myself why am I doing this diet and wouldnt I be better eating healthy and exercising more. I know these thoughts are due to me being stressed and angry so I am now going to set myself a day to day goal so I am keep foccussed and not stray.
Hope everyone is getting on okay.

Nice loss especially with anti biotics. Well done you, you should be pleased.

Something that worked for me when I was really stressed and couldn't let go of an angry script running in my head, was to write it down as nasty and vitriolic as I wanted to be, swearing insults whatever. Then rip it up and burn it. I do a fair bit of talking to myself and so would say " there that is done with, I am leaving it go, it will get sorted, I dont need to hang on to this crap!" I had to do it a few times to leave the anger I was feeling against my ex lol

Oh also if you are concerned about anyone's parenting please pick up the phone to your local social services children's department. They will treat your concerns confidentially, and that act could improve or save a child's life. <-- gets off soap box. Can you tell who I work for ? Can ya ? lol

Take it easy though, lot on your plate at the mo xx
 
Hi Clara
Thank you for your post.
Great advice about writing my anger down then burning it. This unfortunately is an ongoing situation it calms down for a couple of months then all hell breaks loose then calm.
I have passed my concerns on to the powers that be and only hope this time they do something proactive.
But I am determined this time anger and stress are not going to be the reason I fall off the wagon.This is for me and Im going to get there.So feeling really positive today.Porridge and a litre of water done.
How are you feeling today? Has your rash settled down yet?.
Take care hun
Cathy
 
Hey lovely, sounds like you are dealing with some challenging situations, well done for consciously staying on track!

I am sure things will sort themselves out or will be sorted for you, either way.

Hope today is a good day for you xx
 
Doing well with the mindset Cathy. Usually anger and stress get turned in on ourselves and we eat on them. I know I certainly do. Rash is looking a lot better. Far less angry and getting to be less shattered.

Hanging on in there with lighter life and limping along. Quite happy with this as my thought processes are changing if not my weight.

Onwards and downwards honey xx

feeling brighter today and less angry.Ive decided its wasted energy so wrote two pages of how I was feeing and why.i also discussed it with my oh and the took great pleasure in tearing it into little strips Lol.
I was faced with a challenge today.We were at a family funeral.There was champers and drinks a plenty plus a wonderfull hot and cold biffet oh and cakes to die for .....but I resisted and not a morsel passed my lips.I drank black tea and iced water.Must admit I wasnt even bothere by everyone around me tucking in.I just kept thinking I can have it but i choose not to at the moment LOL.
My OH said the cakes werent as nice as they looked LOL.
So another 100% so far today.
Take care everyone.
Cathy

Well done for staying 100% trying times for you all around. You did brilliantly saying to yourself no, I have had a few foodie situations lately, and stayed 100%, its all about me! My chouces !! I will join in with food situations, when I choose, strange how some people respect that and others don't.
Good chouce about escalating to the powers that be, I'm sure they will be supportive if the whole family. It is lovely having grandchildren running around, I miss mine I onky see them every few weeks and tgey are growing fast.
Take care, stay strong! As for the water, I use a 750 ml bottle and try with flavours, to drink 2 between packs during the day then ease off in the evenung, I get. 4 litres in most days.

Thanks Julz
Well done you as well you are doing amazing.Social situations I am coping well with at the moment.Its the secret ones in the kitchen which really are more of a struggle.The leftover take aways and the cheese in the fridge which keeps calling me lol. I have realised I used to be a secret eater lol.When no one was looking I would snack on things in the kitchen in the car evenn when hanging the washing out.I suppose if no one saw me eating then it didnt matter lol.No more I tell myselfthe leftover take away lasy night went in the bin once they had finished to stop temptation.
The crooked thoughts and chatterbox are still very active but My resolve is strongI have a goal to achieve and Im going to get there.
Cathy
 
So proud of ya Hun well done for fending off those crooked thoughts x x
 
Im still here and still 100% abstinant.
have been a busy bee the last couple of days sewing and cleaning.
I have almost forgot to have my fourth pack the last couple of days.Remembered quite late so had a bar but found it really hard to eat it all. So only ate half of it.
Weigh in tomorrow so fingers crossed for a big loss lol.
Hope everyone is getting on ok
