Confessions of an Indecisive Dieter - Restarting with no cheating!

[ilikepencils]

Hi ya ilikepencils

How are you doing so far?
Have read that you lost a stone in 9days thats fab well done you.
So what day are you on now?
We can both support each other as you have prob seen my diary i've had quite a few blips, and it made me ill so i have restarted and ready to stick at it 100%. I can seen you have done well keep up the good work.

I'm doing okay thanks, I think I'm about 2 and a half weeks in, but I've slipped up a couple of times, not this week though! x

Hang in there hun, it can be hard to eat once keto hits. I find the shakes pretty easy going. Meals ate harder work so filling!!

Have a good day xxx

Maybe you've hit the nail on the head - I've not been having any shakes as I need to use up my Exante ones, and I've really gone off Exante! I think I might go back to having them (only half cos of the calorie difference with s&s) I might find it easier then. xx

I'm feeling really full myself. Buts it's more like my mouth doesn't want to eat instead of actually being hungry. I'm going to have to force the food down myself tonight. Shakes definitely seem the easiest option for that. Ice cold Chocolate... Hmmmmmm!

If a size 8 is what you want to be you should keep your small clothes. Pick something favoured out and hang that on your dresser as a motivational tool. Imagine yourself wearing that again and feeling amazing.

I've recently charity shopped a whole wardrobe full of my old small clothes that I've been clinging onto for dear life but I kept a few items that I'd love to get back into again. it's ridiculous the mountain of clothes I've accumulated since I've been big. I hardly even wear 20% of my clothes... I just don't feel confident enough. I'm think of altering what I can myself once the padding is gone.

Haha I laughed at your post about your MIL. That's funny. I have to get the pet vac out every time because my FIL is a bit of a hypochondriac and is convinced my cat is killing him by suffocation. They only come around ours once in a blue moon. ( There's a good reason I got my cat )

I'm off to start preparing for another looong nightshift. Last one thank God!!

Have those shakes!!

TTFN!

TT x

Good idea about charity shopping some of my clothes. I've just gone through 4 big suit cases full of clothes, will post a couple of the ones that motivate me in a sec.

Oh my gosh, don't get me started on OH's family members being hypochondriacs about pets! We have to move soon and one of his family members will be staying for a while, and they're point blank refusing to have my two cats there at all. Not sure what I'm going to do as they're indoor cats so it's not like they can spend a lot of time outside.

Hope you're doing well x

Wow great first week loss!! After reading your diary i feel very blessed to be man free, i tried lipotrim when i was living with my husband last year and it felt like he made it his mission to break me, i'll show him lol!

You go girl! lol nothing like an ex for motivation!

I must admit, I have had a couple of days since starting where I haven't eaten all my packs/food when I should have... oops. It was either a case of physically not being able to (not hungry and the thought of food made me gag) or I was so busy and didn't have any packs on my while I wasn't at home! naughty eh lol. Yesterday I had a shake, some cabbage (not together) and then I was full but still needed to have two more packs and a protein meal... I ended up forcing the chilli down and the tuna, not good and it wasn't easy, the shake wasn't so bad though.

Sounds like you're doing really well though great loss in your first week too! x

I'm getting worse with it, to the point of having to force all 3 packs at the end of the day :/. I tried forcing the cottage pie down yesterday but I just couldn't do it! Had to give it to OH, he loves them for some reason lol.

Thanks hun x

I've not been on here for a couple of days, usually that means I've been cheating, but not this time! I've been really stressed out with a family situation. My mother is a compulsive liar and she's driving me crazy, I'm actually looking forward to moving away because of it, but my 15 year old sister (my mum allowed her a pretty much live in older bf) is just about to have a baby, so I'm in two minds.

It's weigh-in day, but I forgot to weigh myself, which is weird as I usually weigh daily, so I'll have to weigh-in tomorrow. Like I said in the last post, I'm finding it really difficult to eat anything and for the past two days I've not had anything until 10pm, I had a porridge earlier today though. Also, leg cramps! Oh my god I can't stand them, I'm such a wuss because I passed out once when I got one LOL and I'm always scared it'll happen again. Crampex and tonic water to the rescue! I know we're not meant to have tonic water on vlcds but it contains a small amount of quinine and that usually helps.

I got some of my old size 8 and 10's back and they're so depressing, yet so motivating at the same time! Some of them I could never wear again, but I still want to hold onto them just to say, yes! I fit into them again.. I'll upload a couple of pics, just to have them in my diary as motivation before I put them in the attic. I can't believe I used to go out in skirts so short!

Also noticed I have loads of Etam clothes from back when I lived in Wales, I've not seen one for ages! Wonder if they're still going..

Hi Hon!

I've just read your post about family shunning your cats and I feel for you. I'm fortunate enough to own my house so everyone who visits/stays knows of the cat and he comes first. That's just how it is. It's his home. I assume from your post that you still live with your mother and don't have a choice? It's not fair to contain cats to only a certain part of a house if their use to it all. I really hope your family member will understand this and I really hope you will be able to all live together in harmony.

I left my parents home when I was 18 because I simply could not take it anymore. I was becoming my own person and all they were doing is restricting me. Not in a malicious way but you get to a certain place in your life where you need your own things and your own space. Even when I visit my parents now (they live in South Africa) I always feel like I am in a place where nothing belongs to me.

You have some lovely clothes! Very nice and really motivating those minis and dresses. I remember once being able to wear them sort of things. Now I don't even go near a Topshop or river island. (Jealousy more than anything I think )

You are doing well considering all the pressures of daily life.. In your case you seem to have an extra helping and you are very strong indeed for keeping your chin up and ploughing through. Keep it up. No one can take that away from you. Your goals belong to you and only you.

I am very well thanks. Been recovering from nights. Still going strong but I have to admit to having one or two weak moments (coming off nights leaves me a little demented and my body is always depleted from any sort of nutrients.) I'm about to update my own diary so you can read all about my sins there

Have a great weekend and good luck with packing.

You are doing well!! Keep it up xx

Hiya hun

Noo, I've not lived with my mum since I was 17, in fact - I moved over 200 miles away from them lol. A couple of years ago they relocated to where I am and lived with me for 6 months. I rent a house atm, and my partner is being given a house by his mum. It's complicated, but he's been living with me for a year or so and we have to move back to his house soon because his brother still lives there (he's planning on moving eventually) and his mum is moving out into her partners home, sooo .. his bro is allergic to cats and won't even allow them in any part of the house (antihistamines!?) so I guess I'm expected to get rid of them, which will never happen! And everyone is forgetting the fact that I don't actually want to move there at all and I'm only doing so to keep my OH happy. It's miles away from my family, and although they can be nightmares, I'd still like to stay close. Phew

Thanks, I don't think I'd ever wear skirts like that again and I can't go near Topshop anymore either, due to fear of everyone wondering why on earth I'm in there ha ha

I'll have a nose for your diary xx

 

[ilikepencils]

Weigh in day. I've lost a whopping 1 lb I can't moan because I did cheat last weekend, plus I know from others on s&s that sometimes the 2nd week can be a low loss or sts. Hoping for a big loss next week!

Phew! How wrong was I? Sorry for misreading that. Doh! Serves me right to commenting on people's posts before breakfast

I can't wear skirts because I've suffered such tragic strechmarks from my quick weight gain that I feel waay to embarrassed to show my legs off. I live in hope that eventually the marks will soften and fade. It's unfortunately the only part of my body that will always be ugly. I have really bad ones (and I've never even had kids to blame for them )

 

[TIGGERTOES]

Oh and if I was you I'd find a way to smuggle some antihistamine into your BF's bro hee hee!!

 

[TayvionSafinn]
