Kia Kaha

[ladyfelsham]

Hi ladies - as suggested by Tipp - this is a thread for any sort of chat to help support each other in our ongoing battle with weight loss.

"Kia kaha" means "keep strong" in Maori

hope this is OK to post here, but I find replacing high calorie/fat foods with nice alternatives really helps me stay on track.

A month or so ago I discovered some truly delicious sausages that are only 72 calories for 2. They are called Heck sausages and their chicken versions are really nice. By this I mean normal food nice, not diet food that you try to pretend taste good

the link is http://www.waitrose.com/shop/DisplayProductFlyout?productId=497624 - I get them in my Ocado delivery but I am sure other retailers sell them

Tesco sell them too. I am going to try yet again to lose the last 12 lbs. It is NOT easy. I have been on this plateau for so long I had all but given up. It's the wine that does me in.......I have to admit to being something of a lush! I have the added burden of having an underweight husband who gives me grief.....ah well.....I shall try try again. x

I find that I fall when emotions hit....be it celebratory, stress, sadness, anger..... This week has been a feeling of mainly anger. I had a set-to with a woman at work, she is really rude and took a tone with me which I didn't appreciate. It made me so angry - as in who does she think she is?! There are so many things I would like to say to her, but I can't.

I think I feel generally un-supported and like I am being made a mug out of by a few people, my husband was one of them people, over the weekend, but we are ok now.

Its led to anger-eating! F__ it eating!

I am feeling better today as we get to the hump of the week. I sneaked a mid-week WI and I am down from last Friday, which is a miracle as I have not been pointing my food at all.

KIA KAHA!

F__ it eating! KIA KAHA!

Ah yes I know it well! Just got to try and have healthy stuff on hand for those moments - maybe get some carrot and celery sticks and as you're crunching through them, imagine it's the sound of Horrible Work Woman's fingers breaking

I always struggle to stay strong at the weekends. It wouldn't be so bad if I only had one night 'off' but I always turn it into the whole weekend, I don't know how I talk myself into it . I normally buy myself a share sized bag of sweets Friday (because this week I'll definitely be good and make them last a few days). Then quite often the same again Saturday but with crisps and a few drinks! Today though I bypassed the sweetie aisle and I've made little chocolate jellies instead so at least it's off to a better start than normal.
