First time on here and over 11 stone to lose!

[leshrew]

Good morning em, I hope your weekend has gone ok. I stuck to my food on Saturday but had caved in on the roast dinner Sunday but it was only a small one just as well really.
Have weighed in this morning and lost 2kg so am happy at that.
How you getting on?
Hope you have a good day x

well done leshrew on your weight loss, hey I wouldn't worry about the Sunday roast, we all need our treats, we are human after all, I am trying as hard as I can to stay on track, I love my new diet as the food whilst being healthy is yummy as well but I still allow myself the odd slightly unhealthy treat as its nice and I want to see this as a way of life not punishment. I used to binge on bags of food daily, all crap unhealthy stuff so my way of thinking is that if I am not doing that anymore I can sure let myself have a nice food treat every week, its not going to do any harm and it rewards me for all the effort I am putting in. I know some people are against using food treats but at the end of the day I love food, I hate my binges and binge food but I love other food and I don't intend to punish myself for the rest of my life without those nice treats now and again, I enjoy meals out with family and friends and still plan to do this, usually once every two weeks, life is for living as well as losing weight hey! I have been very strict with myself for the past two weeks really but this week I am looking forward to my meal out with my best mate and I have no intention of beating myself up about it as I think its a lovely reward for what I have achieved so far and then the next day I'll just get back on track with my new diet. I also use non food treats as these really help, Em xx

Thanks Emma, I agree sometimes I think we are to hard on ourselves and we do need our treats, I hope you have a lovely meal with your friend this week,am going out for a meal with my friend thursday for her birthday and I'm not holding back,bit will be good the rest of the week. I even went to Costa for a coffee today and my husband said what cake would you like guess what I refused he's well impressed lol x

 

[1978Emma]

I can't wait for my meal tonight, thats so wrong I know to be so excited about eating ha ha I do love Italian food though. I hope you enjoy your meal out on Thursday with your friend, enjoy yourself, afterall you are doing well and that means you deserve a nice reward. I am aiming to just have tonight off and then back on track Thurs as its almost impossible to stick to the plan I am on whilst eating at an Italian restaurant so I am granting myself one night off for good behaviour ha ha Em xx

 

[xMariex]

I love Italian and Chinese food. I could so easily eat nothing but them but my scales tell me different But its good to treat yourself every now and then so enjoy yourself tonight.

 

[1978Emma]

thanks xMariex, just off to get ready now, I don't go out for a meal more that once or twice a month so its not too bad and other than that I am aiming to stay on track, I think its better I leave my treats to have with my friends and family when out rather than say bringing something into the house which I might carry on eating to the point of no return and at least when out I will limit my treats due to being in company as if alone with my treat food I don't feel I would be so sensible, I can't have my trigger foods in the house as certain foods make me want to eat more and more, I can't even have the healthy alternatives for some foods as my head just views them the same.

Hi em, hope you had a great meal, my turn for a day off tomorrow yipee can't wait to get the menu in my sticky mitts lol. A friend a work has lost 6lb last week bless her, I never get that bigger loss but hey I'm happy with my 3lb musnt grumble, hope your doing ok x

 

[1978Emma]

oh well done, 3 lbs is great, I am expecting to stay the same this week as its TOTM and whilst other than the meal out I have stuck to my plan I seem to be sticking this week but hey after my first two weeks weight loss I think this is to be expected.

I really hope you had a nice meal out, did you go anywhere nice? Em xx

 

[Carriegirl21]

[Carriegirl21]

Oh WOW! Emma you've lost a stone in 2 weeks! That's fantastic! (I had to view the site in a browser to see stats & tickers lol)

 

[1978Emma]

thanks CG, I was made up to lose a stone in the first two weeks as I did it through healthy eating not starvation so I never expected to lose so much in such a short space of time it just goes to show how much I was eating before I went on my new eating plan. I lost 1 lb this week but feel fine about it as had such a great loss in the first and second week. I hope you are doing well hun, Em xx
