Morning girls! We're all up and raring to go today aren't we?!

My hubby's just left for London and is back on Thurs- a couple of months ago I would have been looking forward to a major binge in front of the tv tonight but no more- yaaay! feel so much better for it not doing that anymore.

Mia- chin up and well done on staying 100% since Tues, I think weekends are more difficult but just take one day at a time!

 

[PennyJane]

I wanna know - WHY AM I SO BLOODY HUNGRY IF I'M IN KETOSIS???? I'm eating 100% ss+, I'm feeling cold alot but yesterday evening and today I am absolutely starving!

To top that, I'm hosting a party for my daughter tonight and the food, or thought of it, is just unbearable...

[Sarah Lou]

Good morning ladies

thank you for the pm messages I have received.. sorry I went to ground after my results I needed to get my head around my diagnosis.. I have ME/Chronic fatigue syndrome.. I will never say I am tired again as this beats being tired.. I have been doing research, ordered a book and need to see a specialist asap.. responses have been mixed, to the point somebody said doctors don't really believe it exists.. well mine does, look on the internet and I would not wish the symptoms on anyone.. I'm independent, live alone and I am responsible for everything.. so this is nothing anyone would ask for.. sorry for the rant o) but it made me cross.. I am allowed to carry on with cdc as there were no problems with my blood, my problems are more cognitive, thought process, words and getting things in the correct order.. so in advance sorry if I am unable to list individuals names on posts.. that would be a struggle. On the food front.. I have managed to stay on the plan and for the first time in my life i did not turn to my old friend food for comfort.. thanks again for all your support x

Hi Sarah Lou - so, is this something that can be changed through CBT? Just wondering, thoughts produce feelings etc. I know there is a lot of unknown facts about this illness but for those suffering, it is very real. I really wish you well and send you lots of positive ENERGY, praying that this illness is lifted off you ASAP xx

 

[abz]

Oh Sarah. Massive hugs from me. It is good that you know what it is now and can get help with it. Well done on not comfort eating. That must have taken one hell of an effort.

Have another hug.

Abz xx

 

[AbsolutelyFabulous]

Oh Sarah :hug99: I'm sorry to hear that. Well done on staying on track, that shows immense strength and courage. I hope you are okay, and I'm sending you lots of positive vibes. xxxxx

 

[Mia]

honey, if they went deep purple then you are definately in ketosis. it shows you are dehydrated because the concentration of ketones in your wee is high. if we are hydrated there shouldn't be that many. but the existence of any is a sign of being in ketosis. so well done

abz xx

Oh goody, I though it just meant you were dehydrated. I was wondering though becasue it does not usually take me long to get into ketosis, which is a good thing. Usually in it before 3 days at the beginning so when I cheat I am sometimes back in the day after. At least when you are in ketosis you actually feel as if you are doing something eg. losing FAT. When I'm not in it I feel like I am wasting my time. I am rambling a bit now becasue I am feeling a bit hungry so I am chewing gum and rabbiting on lol.

 

[AbsolutelyFabulous]

lol Mia. Hope you have a great day today x

 

[abz]

ha. glad to hear you've perked up mia. i can't chew gum. it makes me really hungry!! and sets off cravings like you wouldn't believe...

 

[Sarah Lou]

Thanks Paula, Abz, hugs and vibes well and truely received.. Penny Jane apparently CBT has been used as a tool along with other things.. something else is used called pacing.. which as it says you need to pace yourself and keep a diary of symptoms etc.. I have been signed off from work for a month and this will be reviewed as and when.. felt really crappy about dropping everyone in it at work as I'm in a small team.. I'm abit of a worrier and sometimes think too much of what other's think or say..

 

[AbsolutelyFabulous]

Sarah, just concentrate on being well hun. Work can wait xx

 

[Angela83]

Hi sarah lou- sending positive vibes to you. Like you I'm a worrier and worry about what people think - but DON'T ! your health is much more important, your colleagues at work will understand.


I've just been out with pram and dog! major achievement as dog really pulls on the lead but he did really well today! it's usually one or the other or the dog just gets a run around the garden but now I know I can manage there's no excuse!

 

[tillyfloss]

xx

 

[Sarah_V]

well todays is going well, just had a choc orange bar and a coffee, now glugging the water...

Hi abz glad to be back ((hugs)))

Hope everyone's day is going well..

 

[Mia]

Thanks. Its my best work mate's 40th birthday today. She has brought 3 cakes in, a chocolate bday cake, a normal bday cake and a nice cake thing with fondant on the top. It has killed me not to be able to eat it. I scraped a bit off the bottom of the foil bit it stands on after someone took a bit and it was lovely, but it was just a taste, nothing 'cheatable'. She's got loads of chocolates and she's asked me if I want some ie. a box to take home. I said no thanks which is a major achievement for me. Morrisons have got a buy 1 get 1 free offer on Paynes Chocolate Brazils which you can only get a christmas and I bought 6 boxes which I am keeping at my mams house haha. No bloody wonder I am fat lol

Hi again all... mad busy day so far... arghhh!!! Life will return to normal a bit now I hope.

Sarah-Lou, glad to see you posting honey... CBT sounds good as part of a bigger picture of treatment... the pacing sounds great too. Getting a grip of what you can/can't do energy wise will take a while. I'm glad you can still do CD as I think it's a great feeling to have ONE area of your life under control even when the rest is chaos... talking about my life here, natch! But also knowing all your required nutrients are covered has to be good, & losing some weight may help too in a small way. My energy levels have shot up as the weight shed.

Diet-4, you are going great today... my day has been a 'creative' 1000 plan but I always knew that it would be, had a business lunch with colleague from London. I actually feel a bit lost without the security blanket of the 810 routine... but it will be nice getting used to it!

Tilly, Angela, Abfab, Mia, Munch, Abz and all... you are doing great today! Hope the sun is shining on you all. Hugs. (Just because I am happy!!!)

My little boy just rolled over for the first time! put him down under his toy, checked minimins, turned round and he was on his tummy! Then he did it while I was watching, so chuffed!

 

[Katycakes]

Yay!!!! How cool... a magic moment. He's got the right idea... we're all on a roll now!!!
