Sorry about disappearing everyone but on Friday morning my husband was called up to his mums house she hasn't been well for a very long time but had taken a turn for the worse anyway long story short she passed away yesterday morning. Due to this and due to being at the hospital since Friday barring the time I spent at my daughters party on Saturday I haven't been 100% on plan I haven't been eating the wrong things don't get me wrong I haven't relied on takeaways etc but since Friday I have only had one proper meal, I've been grazing or not eating...I haven't been monitoring what I've eaten so no idea about syn value but I am just going to continue the week on plan with my daily syns allowance and take the hit on Friday then start a complete fresh on Friday. Some things can't be helped. I feel guilty and selfish even being on here worrying about my eating but I needed to come back on here to get my head straight so I can sort it out and move on...also my hubby went back to work as normal this morning he felt he needed to keep himself busy...so as sad as it is to say things are as normal today.
Anyway congratulations to those who lost on your losses, chin up to those who gained and again congrats on any maintains.
Sorry to hear that Jo. Not at all surprised that counting syns hasn't been top priority. Just do what you need to and get back on track when you can. Xx
Oh Jo - I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum in law *hugs*
Sorry to hear you've had a tough few days....not surprised weightloss not been top priority. Hope ur doing ok and just do best u can regarding sticking to plan etc.... Sometimes we have to go easy on ourselves.
Take care
Hugs to you,hope you and hubby are ok xx
Aw Jo so sorry to hear that. Hope you're both ok x
So sorry to hear that Jo. I think your doing brilliantly under the circumstances. Well done for still trying to keep in control in such a difficult time. Xx
You should be proud of yourself. You had a few days where things were beyond your control and you have just got straight back to it when you've been able too. That's definitely an achievement x
Now tomorrow is weigh in and I am totally unsure about this week. As you know I had a weird first half to my week and I haven't counted syns so I really truly honestly don't know what damage I have done. Now as of last week I was 1lb off my Club 10 so I would love to get that this week but I have prepared myself for a gain purely for the fact I am so unsure so I figured preparing myself for the worse was my best option. I hope that I'm wrong but if I'm not I hope I haven't done too much damage I just keep thinking back to my 10 week hiatus where I ate like crap and only gained 6lbs so I'm hoping it isn't a drastic gain if I get one but I am aware I have had two good losses so there's the chance for a big gain. I guess I can't do anything about it and I will take what is coming tomorrow morning but I really do hope its a small gain, sts or most ideally just a 1lb loss. I am doing the best I can for damage limitation, green tea, water, exercise etc...So bring on tomorrow to get it over and done with so I can start a fresh.
How's everyone else feeling about this weeks weigh in?
And good luck to you all.
I can understand you worrying Jo - we all do when we go off plan, even for a perfectly understandable reason like you did, but I think you will be fine. You got back on plan as soon as you were able to and you are doing everything right. Even if you do have a small gain, you know how to lose it again and we are all here to encourage you and support you. Fingers crossed xx I have been away on hols so goodness knows what my scales will show - we'll hold hands and take the leap together tomorrow:hug99:
