LOL! Whether I was dieting or otherwise, I have NEVER felt the need to hide food in my handbag or eat it under the duvet. They make dieters sound a little crazy!
I don't see the point in fibbing about food...what's the gain/benefit? YOU know what you're doing and YOU know you're fibbing and more often than not, the people you're fibbing to know you're fibbing!
Having said that, I know that some of the ladies at group fib. I've seen many members out for lunch (not eating well either), having fish and chips and I saw one lady in the supermarket with nothing good in her trolley - she went red and said it was her hubby's but HE comes to group too! So imagine my internal giggle when he lost and she didn't the week after. Not in a mean way - just her sat there saying 'I don't understand it, I've not been bad at all'. As did the others I've spotted off plan. I once almost said 'fish and chips aren't a HE' when a lass sat there b*tching SW didn't work and all she'd had was her HEs, free foods and healthy syn foods all week...but I'd seen her scoffing on the high street (proving point in article sadly lol).
I dunno, maybe it's the need not to feel like a failure to others and shame, but if you're not prepared to be 100% honest about it it's not going to work. I know before I step on the scales each week what I expect and more importantly, what I deserve.
Sadly there are times when the scales are meaner than deserved (think we've all had weird gains when we have HONESTLY been good) and sadly people probably don't buy it when we say we were good because of the duvet hiding, handbag looting lot
I love the honesty on here - it's one reason I come on. Nobody judges and everyone knows where we're all at because we've all been there before ourselves.
Great post xx
