Lol, and a plan that extends to minis friendsHi KC,
I am sure you'll be fine... and if not, call your daughter's ortho and ask if they have a family plan.

DAY 41
(I am NOT starting over from day one again... just let's write off Day 40 as a Bad Day!)
Scales say 12st 2. Which I totally deserve, if not more. 'Oh well,' to quote a book I know and tend to ignore in moments of crisis.
Thanks Bess, Chels, Jess, Greeneyes, Mel, Wales & Shanny for your posts, and your attempts to tie me to the wagon - didn't quite work out as I took another suicidal leap and landed face-down in a heap of chocolate wrappers, how did THEY get there? I will not go into details but my lapse began as 'off-plan but healthy' and slid quickly into major sabotage, so feeling a bit shaky this morning. And if I am honest I know that unless the fall had shown up on scales (as it luckily did) I would almost certainly have carried on with it. Absolutely no logic there, right?
I know this will mess me up for the week ahead, and today I feel very fragile, my plan is to have four shakes rather than risk porridge or bars or 810 meal as food is not a good idea for me at the moment. I don't feel panicky, and didn't yesterday, but I do feel very sad and a bit hopeless. I can't help wondering if my pesky hormones are at work again, as I had been feeling really good and optimistic and then crashed right through the floor... those extremes feel a bit weird somehow, like neither extreme is quite to be trusted.
So... looking for an even keel today. Four shakes, as much water as I can drink, and stay out of the kitchen. I have the usual work quota plus a lot of driving about on errands so should keep me busy. Deep breaths and onward, ever onward.

Aw KC * puts arms around Katy in a bear hug* Yesterday doesn't have to mess up the whole week for you. A good day today and tomorrow and you will have STS by WI on Thursday at the very least. It's just water. Don't panic, whatever you do. Perhaps some time out with Beck for half an hour or so will re-set the brain a little and reassure you that it was a lapse of concentration. Slim people dont panic and feel sad and emotional when they have a few chocolates or whatever. There is something in their makeup that naturally makes them eat less the following day...its no big deal. This is a trick that we are going to have to learn.
Can you remember when you were a child and how nothing was off-limits or had any guilt attached to it? Whatever was eaten was just eaten, nothing more or less. I think that, left to its own devices, our bodies only take in what is required, it is our messed up heads that interfere with that process. OMG I've eaten chocolate, I am bad, I am a failure, I am ugly, I am always going to be fat etc etc which just triggers off this downward spiral. STOP!! Deep breath. Nothing has happened, nothing has changed, you are still doing this. You are a day behind schedule, as it stands.......that's all.
Love and hugs for an amazing lady....... xxxxx

Why Be Normal?
Hi KC -- Today is the first day of the rest of your life (I know it is an advert slogan... but it is also true). So, let's just move on and live int the moment. I am off my 1/2 spa day with the Power Plates Session... I'll let you know how it goes. And, you can let me know how much you accomplish today (and if your ortho has a family and friends plan).

Well done for climbing back on today and having a plan.... I also blew it after posting yesterday, I had all my days meals planned down to my last point, but then ate chocolate caramel shortcake x 2, curly wurly, snack a jacks and pink and whites and totally blew my allowance out of the water, but today TOTM has started, so hoping that was what threw me off track. Have WI tonight, lets hope overall I have lost but I deserve to not lose.
Over the week Katy you have still lost so hang on in there.....

Thank you folks. Have spent the morning skiving/ community service depending on viewpoint... drawing, photocopying & distributing poster for library meeting, taking ikky accounts into town, visiting mum and talking to librarians. Home now, 2nd shake down and a quiet afternoon of work, I hope.
As the song says, 'I get knocked down, but I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down...'
I hope.

Kira, please be my guest. Pleased to know I come out with the odd pearl of wisdom lol x
Plenty of pearls Chels, plenty of pearls. Thankyou.
Hi Katy,
I think the 'Oh, well...' Lelly mentioned from Beck is very useful. Just move on and for heaven's sake don't beat yourself up about it. Chels post a few back (11, just counted) is fab. Re-read it, just the kind of sensible warm hearted advice we all need to hear! Hugs lovely. xxxx

Two days is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Don't forget, you have been bound with rope and cannot get of this wagon.........cos I won't allow it, so there!!!

Chels, never ever tosh, you have a heart as big as a bucket and I am so glad you are here. You give us pearls of wisdom, encouragement, a laugh a minute and a lovely warm feeling. Thankyou. xx

Haha, I read that a bit quick and thought you said arse as big as a bucket
I just want to enjoy myself along the way........no point in torturing myself. No-one is forcing me and I could stop whenever I want. I've done so many diets in the past, CD included, where I hated every second, felt deprived, depressed and defeated - big mistake. I'm not being deprived because no-one is stopping me from eating. My choice entirely. I'm glad I can spread a little laughter around. Best medicine on the market
