Day 8!!! A whole week done and I am SO happy and SO relieved to have got this far. It feels like a million miles away from where I was this time last week, in terms of attitude, hope, panic levels etc. I was a tangle of binge-eat compulsions mixed up with crushing guilt, and the scales were NOT my friend. I feel so much calmer now... calm is what SS gives me, when I do it properly. It's what I need, before gathering up the courage to move up the plans. I am still thinking 28 days of ss seems like a good idea, to break the habits of the last three months, re-set my head, kill off my taste for sugary junk food. Let's see how things go, but that is the plan.
Scales. There IS a CD god, because this morning after no loss for three days, they registered a 1lb drop which puts me at 12st 9 and also means a 9lb loss in 7 days. Have to stress this is my own weigh in (CDC away this week) and won't get anything official until next friday, but that's fine... am going to adjust my ticker anyway for the motivation. Might keep my ticker to my own weigh ins and mark my CD card with the official ones, but promise to report any differences! Anyway, I am more than happy with 9lbs. My next goal is to get back into 11s, but I know that next 9/10lbs will take longer... still, aiming for the end of Jan as a rough target for that? If I get there great, if not, then it'll be Feb, but get there I WILL.
Have started the day with a hot choc shake and have a herb tea to glug now... waiting for it to get light so I can drag dog down to the village & park while it stays dry. Meanwhile, off to adjust my ticker...
