Thanks Curly and Shanny for dropping in... Curly, wish I didn't have to fib to friends but people have such funny ideas about vlcds and I just want to keep things simple and not have to argue it through or explain why it's OK... I know what you mean! Shanny, my cdc gave me 2 sample packs of the maple & pecan porridge and I loved it, will deffy be ordering more!
Day 14... almost two weeks down! Scales have not shifted again today, and I will be lucky if I get a lb off tomorrow, which will make week 2 a very slow week for me, just 1 or 2lbs... seems a bit sad when I have been 100% but with luck I'll get a drop after that! As long as it is going I can't really complain. I have been lax on the walks this week so need to build them in to my days a bit better, at the moment rain and ice have been giving me an easy excuse to chicken out. More exercise and the lbs might start to move a bit.
Today I'll use my last porridge and after that will have just choc shakes... BAD planning I think! I am craving a bit of variety, of texture as well as taste! Still, I do like the choc shakes, hot especially, so I know I can survive until Monday.
Another day when I need to focus in and get the work moving, so off now to make a start!
Hope everyone has a brilliant day.

OMG Katy!! Two weeks already. That time has flown. you are doing really well.
I bet you get a bit whoosh on the scales over the next day or two, so I wouldnt worry too much about what they are saying at the moment. As long as you know you have been 100% then they have got to go down......eventually!!
I hope you have a fabby day x

Morning Katy!
Good luck with the mousse hun, hope it works out for you and can replace the lack of porridge til you see your cdc, its helped me so much that i haven't felt the need for bars either!
2 weeks nearly done...woohoo!! You're doing great, any loss is good to see but scales don't always play nice (like mine!) personally looking forward to wk4 WI at the end of the month and total loss.
Have a fabulous day hunny

Struggling today. I don't know why - it's not hunger, just head demons telling me I should eat.
Just had a long look in the fridge, and then a lingering glance to the tin of biscuits balanced out of reach on top of the cupboards. I don't want biscuits, but a part of me wants something... voice telling me that quorn wouldn't matter, or tomatoes, or maybe peanut butter and rye bread and banana... ARGHHH! I am trying to counter this with my Beck prompt card, reminding me why I want to be slim. Trying not to give myself an option to have anything, not to have this whole yes/no argument when the only answer should be a firm NO. But it's hard. I think psychologically I am rebelling against CDC's postponed app. Need to see her now... if she was coming tomorrow as planned, would I even think of risking food? No. So what's so different about Monday?
Sorry to have the internal wrangle on here, just want to get it down in words and see if that takes away any of the power of it.
Nothing has changed. Day 14, doing well, STOP LISTENING to the voices that suggest I should eat. Nothing has changed, I won't let it fall apart now.

Sweetie, that's the whole point of this forum........to have the internal wrangles on here. Sometimes seeing it written down clarifies it. KD has written a great thread on the Bring you head inside section, talking about Fred. It's a bit heavy to go into here but it is well worth a read if you have the time. Tell your Fred that you are not listening. We have to re-train our Freds apparently. You know KD, she makes such sense and has a way of putting things into words that I can't possibly do. So tell Fred to s*d off as you have other, more important, things to be thinking about. All your fabby new clothes for one!!!
Stay strong hun, you are doing soooooooo well.

Thanks Chelsea. Have been over to the BYHI forum and read about Fred... that is exactly it. And the message is very like Beck, don't get into the argument, don't allow yourself a choice, be definite. I am hanging on. Two coffees, which seem 'fatter' somehow than herb tea. And will plan for a shake at 12, so i only have just over an hour to go. And I am trying to work, so some distraction there.
I can do this... bog off, Fred!

I KNEW I needed a house with a cellar! Sigh... I am bad, because a bit of me wishes Fred had made me eat the toasted muffin... no, no, nooo... don't mean that... arghhh! Chin up honey, we can do this, no more muffins and no more Fred.
I am still all over the place, I actually am starting to wonder if it's PMT, Mum just rang and managed to wind me up in ten seconds flat with a guilt trip for not calling in to see her yet, even though she knows I'll be there for four o clock... gah! PMT would make sense of the cravings though. After the phone call, when instinct to eat was high, I had another shot at making the vege-set mousse with a choc shake. (Tried yesterday and had to throw it out, it was vile.) This time I think I did it right, and am waiting for it to cool before putting in fridge, god, I hope it is edible and that I haven't wasted another pack. We'll see. Anyway, have stayed away from the biscuit tin and that is a small miracle.
I herby declare today WOBBLY WEDNESDAY (or is that just my thighs?)

I think it helped a bit DM. I kept looking at my 'reasons' card and also repeating 'no choice' in my head. But posting on here (confessing the cravings) was probably what stopped me in the end. I need a lot more practice with this before I get anywhere near OK with it.
Lol, Chels... Becks not Fred.
I ate the veggie mousse just now, so guessing this will be a 4 pack day... it wasn't quite set, but almost, and nice... think I will have one each day. If I make it in the morning and stick in fridge it should be perfect by lunchtime?
Onwards... and stay away, Fred. You are not wanted here.

Lol, I said stay away Fred...............
I think you did really well, please tell me about the cards? It was probably PMT, but don't family know just how to push all the wrong buttons? You should have a pat on the back for resisting though, that's a real breakthrough.
Will your shake be ok if you leave it for hours in the fridge? With vitamins and things? I know it won't do you any harm but don't we have to eat them within 15 minutes of making them up? Lelly will know won't she? x

Thanks Chels, Bess & Trisha. A very challenging day, almost certain now it's PMT as got upset again when I went to see mum, who was in awkward mood, and also upset with son who announced he was planning to go off to El Salvador in the summer with a friend - er, no, I don't think so! Is it just me that thinks this is a bit ambitious for a boy who has never even been to Blackpool under his own steam? And it didn't occur to him that he might have to save the money for it, too. With that non-existent job he has at uni, right? So yes, Bess, you're dead right, family know how to push all the wrong buttons.
I have had a 4th shake... not willing to risk more wobbles. Daughter off to work, me settling down to do some more as well, and hey, tomorrow is another day. Bye bye Wobbly Wednesday, hello Thinner Thursday!
Have a good evening people... and Fred, stay out of it. OK?

Well done you for resisting....you know you'd be kicking yourself if you'd gone with the temptation.
Bless your son....castles in the sky, eh? x
