Katycakes Won't Give Up...

hi katy you are doing great well done.

Your DD sounds like mine, she's a skinny size 6/8 who can take or leave chocolate she can open a box and have just one and then leave the box for weeks untouched (can she really be my daughter?). she only eats when she is hungry, and although when she does eat she can have quite a lot its normally healthy food, she never ever picks snacks or binges (she definately can't be my daugher) and I guess thats why shes so slim, why can't I be like her?
 
Evening Katy, hope you are getting through the day, just remember hour by hour at times. You are doing really well - big hugs xx
 
Thanks Greeneyes, Trisha & Wales... I am still OK. The craving subsided, first time in a long time I have ever held on tight through one and faced it down... happy about that. Will have to remind myself next time it happens that I can just sit tight and wait it out, and the world will not end... practice NOT giving in.

Head a bit achey and not feeling my best, but I have a hot choc shake to look forward to now, which is good. Others are having veggie haggis as it's Burns Night!

Today driving home from trip to town with mum I was doing the 'living in the moment' thing Wales (I think it was you?) talked about. I found a lot of stuff to be happy about. It's a long drive to town, but a beautiful one, along a loch with hills and woods, and the water was dark blue and the fields were green and a red kite soared overhead for a while. I felt very lucky to be here. Little bits of happiness add up to a lot, when you piece them together.

Have a fab evening and thanks for checking in on me!

We can do this we can do this!!!
Im off to have a relaxing bath soon.. Keep yourself busy tonight.. and before we know it.. start of the day again!!!!! xxx
 
Katy, you did great! Congratulations!!

I so agree with you and Wales, I found this in a book a few months ago and showed it to all the girls, it's the way I feel.

''You've got the knack of happy living', commented Anna. 'I think you must be like my mother who says that you aren't just given happiness. She says that you have to pick it up here and there all through the day. And she does too. She smells a rose, or she marvels at a bird hanging upside down on a spray, she makes a perfect dinner. She really savours life, you know, and from it she builds up a stock of happiness.''

Absolutely.

It's from a Miss Read book, 'Fresh from the Country'. Not great literature I know, but I'm not proud, Proust, the back of the cereal box, whatever..... I like Miss Read occasionally when I want comforting.......better than toast, which is the other option!!. xxx
 
Walking round the lake tonight, the ducks are enjoying it no longer being frozen over, they were messing around and chasing each other and making a right racket. Drove the dog crackers tho!! Taking pleasure in seeing the smaller things can make me see the bigger picture, bigger than what I want to have for my tea!!

Yay for Katie in your Highland Wonderland. Happy Burns Night xx
 
Happy Burns Night Katie from the bottom of the country to you at the top. :D

You have done great today dealing with those pesky cravings, sending you positive and happy thoughts :)
 
Thanks Chels, Curly, Bess, Wales and Sarah. Love the happy thoughts, the gathering happiness up through the day, Bess... and the crazy ducks, Wales! Gathering in the positive vibes from all of you, too, like happiness they can be stored and brought out when needed... thanks so much for adding to my collection!

I had a good evening, stopped trying to work at about 7 and flopped with TV & OH & then daughter when she decided to abandon her essay for the evening. Sometimes rubbish TV like 'Come Dine With Me' and 'Big Fat Deeply Scary Gypsy Wedding' is all you can really face. I normally feel guilty for watching TV, but can see the restful properties of vegging out sometimes and also of being in same room as family, instead of bashing my head against a keyboard and getting nowhere. Will watch 'Crash Diet' tonight as well, see how they describe LL.

I had a low level headache all evening and woke with it today, over one side of my face, so a migraine I think. Have had paracetamol and it has receded a little, can feel it but it won't stop me working. I suspect this is totm at long last, after all the cravings wonder why it has to send the PMT bit on ahead quite so early. BUT will be glad to get it by, and am still so happy about facing down yesterday's craving because it was a big, boulder-in-the-middle-of-the-track one, calculated to knock me right off the wagon. And it didn't. And I am determined to practice that sitting tight thing, I was a bit manic for a couple of hours but yes, it went away, and I lived... woo hoo!

Today scales still say 12st 7. Ah well. Would love a move for tomorrow (unofficial WI day) but have to face I may have a sts week, my own fault for the sabotage of last thurs & friday. I will take it on the chin. And when totm starts, that may shift a little too.

Have started the day with porridge, good to have something warm. Bar planned for lunch and maybe mousse for 3/4-ish. 4th shake for evening. Wishing you all a good wednesday.

Well done for yesterday Katy, its great to beat the cravings as we feel more positive next time it happens. I got on the scales today and I was 12 stone 6.6, so we are about the same weight at the moment although you are much taller than me and last time I was weighed was still obese, looking forward to going next week and only being overweight..... ha ha

Hope you have a good positive day today.
 
Morning Katycakes --

Well done on fighting off those inner voices that can lead you astray. Especially since last night was a "special night" for you, Scots -- and it must feel a little like a punishment to miss out.

Out of curiousity -- what is a veggie Haggis? How would one prepare that?

MinnieMel
 
Ah, not really a Scot but have lived here for 20+ years... I am a mongrel really, bit of Irish and English mixed in together. Was happy to miss out, although I do like veggie haggis. It's a bought one, based on nuts and spices and oats, from 'McSweens' - tastes nice and peppery, some people like it better than the 'real' kind. You just steam it. When we first moved up, before McSweens had invented their creation, we used to given some very odd things at Burns Suppers, once a dish of warm muesli with neeps (mashed turnip) on the side! NOT good.

No, not a pedigree, chum. Not a chance. ;')

Gah, hugely upsetting work pain-in-arse this morning. Supposed to fly to Cork for work in July & the people arranging it have booked my flight, details have just arrived, from wrong airport and with wrong name, in spite of being given the details and a scan of my passport... really uspet and hassled and want to just cancel, but they'll see ME as the pain... but an extra 2 hours on the trip, even if they do get the name thing sorted? So annoyed. WILL NOT EAT. That would not help. (Growls quietly).

How annoying - grrrrrrr indeed but you are right KC, eating wouldn't change a darn thing, you'd still be the wrong person going from/to the wrong airport xx
 
LOL -- on you not a Scot. My DH's mum is from Glasgow and his father was from Nova Scotia, but DH was born in NY, NY. He still has family in Glasgow.

I wanted to do the Burns night at the RAF Base, but as I am on the diet I decided: if we are still here next year and I'm where I should be weight wise (and my DH), we will do it and do it up properly in kilts, tartans and all.

The Veggie Haggis sounds a lot more my style than the usual. Yuck, on the prev. meal you wre given.

Oh Cork in July -- lucky you. Try and squeeze in one of the dolphin watching boat rides. And, think of how light your luggage will be with your smaller clothes.

@ Jess, a very neutral one as I was brought up in the midlands, don't panic!

@ Mel, liking the idea of that mini-suitcase! I have got over my strop and given in to fact that I have to travel from miles away... ah well. Hopefully they can fix the name problem though, just hate when people ask for all the info and then totally ignore it.

@ Chels, I will be the right me at the wrong airport... ah well!

Didn't eat, didn't really want to anyway, that one was a non starter. I have had my bar now and looking forward to something mid afternoon, probably a mousse but I'm pretty cold today so may have a hot shake instead... back to work.
