Im a tad bit confused on the whole milk thing. coz there is so many low fat 2% 4% etc. You cud try goats milk mite have a different taste. I suppose you cud use the breath strips after instead of eating sweets not very nice im sure you will find something better just keep a look out for something dats nice but not dat nice. Polos are so easy to eat without noticing maybe try really strong mints ones were one is enough.

Hmmmm maybe the extra strong ones might do the trick? But still - think i will leave them for a few days!

xxI know sweetie...I had to take a back seat, but I mentioned on my post as I didnt want people to think I was rude.
I just found it hard and I hate being negative and didnt want to pass it onto anyone, so I lurked !!!!!
I am on the way up; not binged in almost a week or so now (not counting to be honest), just trying to take a day at a time.
You really are doing fab and I think your whole attitude is so different from last time and you seem so focussed!! REally well done..cant say it enough....my words are not telling you how much I admire you and your overall achievement girl!!! You have come a long way....

TA-AAAAN????!!!! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO proud of what you've achieved!!!! You've done ... and are doing so well!!
Undoubtedly maintenance is a scarey place to be but it's what we wanted, so now we have to find our way of doing whatever it is we need to do to control our weight. I don't believe for a minute it's 'healthy eating' for the rest of our lives - all the way ..... I just don't believe that's possible. I don't believe anybody does that - whatever their weight. What we have to do is learn to live with the fluctuations - both in weight and in control.
I've said it elsewhere but I also believe that staying on here and being able and willing to 'bare all' so to speak, really helps with that and can also help other people to see that there is no 'perfection' - there isn't some place we reach which then means we're 'sorted'. I don't believe 'sorted' exists.
I hope this doesn't sound negative ... I think it's just realistic and what naturally 'thin' people do all the time, ie. 'indulge' and compensate. I just think that their 'indulgences' don't lead to a 'sod it' attitude .... which can be our - or certainly MY problem!
Anyhoo girl - you're doing brilliantly and I have every confidence that you can do this. What you have in your favour is your age. You really have the chance to get to grips with this now and NOT spend the next 30 years yo-yoing!
You have the power!!! xxxx

JAN!!!! Love your words - and totally agree with them. Its about finding the right balance right? & having a bad day doesnt have to mean sod it - which it always has done in the past for me! The past 2 mondays i have had 'bad' days and have gotten right back on track so heres hoping ive got a little bit of that under control. I know this is going to take a long time and baring all on here and keeping a log of it certainly helps!
I have 3 mugs a day Mary - think i should cut back more on the sweetner? x

Ooooo crumbs I hope the weather doesn't do what they're saying it's going to! Fingers crossed for you. Enjoy yourself whatever it does.
Perhaps your little choccie fest was your way of winding down for or starting off your weekend ... I think Iris has said it as well - sometimes when we know there's something coming up a little bit of us wants to get started earlier
Whatever it is it's temporary ... you'll be fine. xxx
