I am back and starting again !

[bryal99]

Hi everyone - I feel a bit sad :cry:but ready to go again ! We went away at the beginning of May for a week and I actually lost weight - unheard of for me ! I then became very complacent and also very busy at home and work and the whole DC thing started to slip..... I only have myself to blame....

Anyway I went off to Florida 7+ lbs heavier and decided that I would enjoy the holiday - eat and drinking everything arty0051:arty0027:I wanted. And I did..... My plan was to get back on track on my return !

Well we got back yesterday and I have started today. I have weighed in and I am very fed up as I am over a stone heavier but on the flip side I am not back to where I started. So no more alcohol and chocolate and chips etc....

I had got the food in ready before I went and I am feeling very positive and hopeful that you will all support me again !

I plan to be on line again most days and I may even be very brave and start my own diary thread instead of hijacking someone else's - I really appreciated all the positive comments earlier in the year and I am 100% sure you all helped me.

I know DC works well for me when I stay on the plan and I know that it is possible for me to get down to where I was again.

Wish me luck !!!!

Welcome back! We didn't know each other before (I'm quite new here so it's nice to meet you ) but it's great to have another DCer around because these parts of the forum can be a bit quiet sometimes lol. It's good that you're so keen to get back on track and I wish you the very best of luck! We can do anything we set our minds to!

Hi Laura,

You have the advantage of knowing that you can do this and it does work for you. Don't beat yourself up, just go forward. I know we've 'talked' elsewhere but I didn't want to ignore this thread.

You did sooooo well last time, all you have to do is stay focussed xx

Thanks huns - for all your good wishes - I have had a good day - the weather is rubbish here in Devon. I spent this afternoon cold and wet as my middle 2 boys entered a crab catching competition on the quayside. Sadly they didn't catch any........ It is regatta week here but the forecast isn't much better for the rest of the week. I am sooooooo cold I am not sure if it is the eating less or the change in clime (florida sun to devon rain), I shouldn't be moaning as at least we have had a fab holiday (certainly a trip of a lifetime - prob will not manage again for a long while - we will have to start saving ++). But I am sticking to it and determined to do as well as before.

And I'm sure you will!! xx

Thanks Jan !! I should have hung around more on here when things got tough - but there just wasn't the time and I have been so tired with it all... I tend to go to bed earlier when stressed and sleep/eat it away !!

Welcome back

You'd done so well and been so consistent - something perhaps had to give.

On the bright side - you've not regained all you lost and that stone will soon shift

*hugs*

Thanks for all your kind words ! So much for being online most days ! It's the summer hols and feel like I never stop ! I am working a bit this summer - normally I am off with the children all summer but I am paying back some time I had off in May ( a little hol win !!) Also to pay for all these trips I am doing 1 night every 2 weeks as overtime plus the odd extra shift when I can get cover for the children !! Despite my mother in law (80 yrs) living with us - she is not well enough to look after the 4 of them ! I will be posting my own weight loss thread now I am back !
