If that's the worst that ever happens you'll be alright I think! As you say, draw that line and get on with it.

Just back from the Drs and she's pleased with my progress so gave me a 2 month supply of xenical. i'm going back in a month tho to be weighed again. it gives me an extra boost if i know someone else is going to weigh me.
Been busy with work so not managed to get out walking as often but have been on my feet a lot.
Have been pretty good foodwise as well although i think i'm having too many choc custard pots so need to cut back on that.

We all have off days, Ciara, it's how you deal with it that matters. Good luck with getting back on that wagon!

Woops! I've been so busy reading the other thread i've forgotten about my own!
Feeling good diet wise. I've managed to break a few habits which i'm pleased with. It was routine on saturdays to get paper, chocolate, sausage roll and juice so last sat I just got the paper and a pack of polos! The phrase "make little changes" keeps popping up in my head, so i'm trying to avoid old habits and make new ones lol just hope it lasts this time.
I have been reading a lot of blogs around the net by people with lots of weight to lose. Its been an eye opener as i think i've been in denial about how much I really need to lose. So, taking from those blogs i'm going to see where I stand in 10.5.11. So..
Day 1 Mon 10.5.10 weight 310lbs
B: oj and some fruit
L: roll with ham and relish
D: chicken & veg stir fry with pasta
S: snack a jacks.
exercise: not much. Quick walk to the end of the road
Pros: I made the effort to walk to the post box instead of drive like usual
Cons: I didn't drink enough water.
Day 2 Tues 11.5.10
B: oj and fruit
L: chicken salad sandwich
D: left over stir fry
S: choc yog pot
exercise: 4 mile walk
Pros: Walking to the post office instead of driving. 4 mile round trip. Was very refreshing, felt great afterwards. Was surprised by how easy it was, I was half expecting to be breathless by the end of it. Need to do this more often.
Got blood test results back from Dr, all good.B.P is good and no prob with cholesterol either. I was worried an issue I have with one of my legs was diabetes related and its not. such a relief!
Cons: didn't drink enough water again!!!
Things to do: get some diluting juice!
I have been saving up and last night I ordered a Wii and wii fit plus! so excited to get it!
right, off to read more threads until the biscuits stop calling to me

Hi and you seem to be getting back on track and doing more exercise so well done you. I am new to xeenical and was so scared to start it due to rumours I had heard but been on it now for just over week and feel good. I am bit worried as not eating enough fat but I think once I get into swing of things and find out what upsets me I will get there.
Keep up the good work and keep us posted - Sue x

Keep it up, Ciara, sounds like it's going well. And as long as you enjoyed the Tiramisu...

Yes well done, we all have blips like the one you had a couple of days ago, but it's what you do about it afterwards that really matters...get your meals planned, get stuck into the Wii when it arrives, and there'll be no stopping you.
By the way, I like the pros and cons lists in your diary...it's a good way to give yourself credit for the things you did well, but also to reflect on the things you could improve on. I doubt that the 'perfect' day ever exists, but if there are more pros than cons then I guess we're going in the right direction!!

pros: went for a long walk, drinking more water
cons: my wii still hasn't turned up! damn volcanic ash!
