Eat to live don't live to eat!
Ok so I lost 2 1/2 stone in 7 weeks in June/July, I went up the plans and maintained till my holiday, 2 weeks all inclusive and I only put on 1lb, had a fab weekend eating what I wanted, drinking what I wanted, knowing I was going back on the diet and put on another 2-3lbs - in 1 weekend, shame on me :cry:
So I started ss on Monday, on Weds I did ss+ as I really fancied tuna (mixed in my oriental chilli soup - sounds horrible but I love it!) so all going well and by Weds evening I was in ketosis (hubby agreed I must be due to rancid breath!)
Anyway, it all went wrong yesterday, my son went into hospital for an operation on his lip, it was a day case under general anaesthetic, he's only 6 and understandably I was scared. My husband took him and kept me informed via text message as I had to work, working kept me busy so I didn't have to think about it much and at 2pm my husband brought my son to see me at work which was great, the op went well and he is fine thankfully.
Problem is, when I got home I couldn't do anything but cry, I was so emotional and all I wanted to do was eat and without thinking I had a handful of sweets followed by a spoonful of cheesecake topping, afterwards I felt dreadful, like a complete failure :break_diet: I was totally upset, hubby tried to help me but all he kept telling me is that I'm doing great and I've done it before so it should be easier this time! How do you explain to them that its bloody well harder the second time round?
Then, to top it all of this morning I get my period, really heavy and horrible cramps so I feel totally like sh*t today, I'm determined to have a 100% ss day but not sure if I can do it :sigh: maybe I should have a ss+ day so I have something to look forward to this evening which may help me get thru the day? I have some cottage cheese in the fridge and some tuna in the cupboard so have a choice. I have my son and 4 year old daughter at home today and they are being pretty demanding so I'm getting stressed already.
I'm really not sure if I can do this, I want to do it, I want to get to a healthy bmi but this last stretch is so so hard - help!
