Week 5 weigh in and I've lost another 3lbs, not bad for aam week
I went on a charity shop challenge today and bought a couple of pairs of size 12 jeans...They fitted
I know I'll be ok as far as not drinking and ordering something small and insignificant to eat, but I know I may be under pressure from other friends that are going. I can imagine them saying that one night off from the diet won't hurt. But quite honestly at the moment I don't want one night off! I'm enjoying the fact that I never feel bloated and have no heart burn Anyway my worry is that I may get a bit snappy if they keep on, especially if they've had a drink, they'll become worse.. The reason I know this, is because I'd probably be the same as them if I werent dieting and one of them were We automatically think that if someone is dieing that they are depriving themselves of something great, and we don't want them to suffer. The actually truth is, we're depriving ourselves from bad things, which I am now learning are definately not needed to feel good, so we're not depriving ourselves at all!!!!!! I'm soooo happy...I can now see a light at the end of the tunnel.
I think the biggest challenge will be keeping it off

Ha men ! & you can't suggest it to them...have to wait until they decide for themselves.I'm going out in a couple of weeks time for my friends birthday, and have got to be honest I'm dreading it
Really feel for you in this. Can you opt to drive to make the no booze thing non-negotiable?
How do you yhink you'll manage the 'Do have some's & 'Just a little bit's.I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to get tetchy with your friends who are only trying to help you enjoy yourself.
Justwondering if you could have anadvance word with a couple of them to get them on your side & keep the others at bay.
I'm assuming that you haven't told them about CD.
Then there's always the white lies having a bet with H that iwon't xxx,Doctors blood test next day,Bit of an upset tummy,etc
Perhaps I'll make myself a badge saying 'Nil by mouth'.
Absolutely brilliant.
Something good happened today: We are renovating the living room and stairs and hubby being hubby, wanted to do everything himself. Anyway the project is dragging:sigh: After a bad day today, he's finally decided to get a plasterer in!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Jane, I'm going to use the upset tummy excuse, I think that'll be best, although some do know that I'm on CD. I've had to start telling people as they've noticed I've lost weight quickly, and to be honest at first I was a bit embarrassed to tell people as I'd got a few negative comments, but now I'm not as bothered as I can tell people that as long as I feel healthy, I will continue on CD.
Just going to see what you've been up to on your diary thread now

During aam I didn't dream about food at all, now the dreams have started again, how strange is that! I've also found ssing quite hard (I havent cheated) but I think I can understand how hard it must be if you fall completely off the wagon, to get started again. Each evening I've been missing my little aam, and in my head I feel hungry again (only in the evening). I know it is purely in my head, so won't give in to temptation. Hopefully by the end of the week ,I'll be fine again, like I did before we did aam. Unlike me at the moment. Minimins seems to be my life at the moment!!!
Hi Nikki
That must be hard for you, not having your parents nearby. Although nice spanish holidays for you
I am missing aam too
Anyway enough rabbiting on. How are you feeling now?? You've been a bit quiet this weekend, I was getting a bit worried. But then thought perhaps you have a life!!

and was really pleased at my weight loss so far!. Bleeding is completely normal as hormones are stored in your fat cells and as you lose weight you become a different person and your body has to get used to that. She will test me in a few months time if it continues just in case of anaemia... and maybe change my pill...
That's great news. Bloody hormones, who needs them! That does explain your feelings at the moment though. I think under these circumstances it must be so difficult for you to keep motivated, but you have and you know what, I think your a star :superwoman: Actually I did once, it resulted in me resigning, before they could sack me! Even though after the event, I panicked about money and getting another job, I did get great satisfaction in telling my boss exactly what I thought. I can still see her face, she was speechless (which was a first) and it still makes me smile when I think of it
Hi Nikki
I'm so glad your gp was supportive
As far as work is concerned, I have no idea what advice to give, it's difficult when your not enjoying your job and are feeling pressured, especially when you have to work for financial reasons (like most of us do:sigh: ) Wouldn't it be lovely to tell people exactly what you think of them, in situations like this
I hope your weigh in goes well, and gives you still more motivation. I'll check in later to see how you've done
Hang in there, you're doing so well, your a great girl!
Love
Tracey
