I have had a hard couple of days, mentally I have been wanting to cave in, but luckily I have gone into some weird auto-pilot mode that means I haven't gone off plan! I have been so hungry since saturday, but I haven't been eating my super-free, been really lax since I have been doing mostly green days lately. I am gonna try get loads extra in over the next few days before WI and get back in the routine.

I feel like I just need to go sit in a field somewhere and clear my head. I know what to do, and I am doing it. I'm just finding it harder than usual at the moment. I haven't posted much on here other than my daily food intake lately, because I am feeling a bit fed up of how much time I spend reading/thinking/talking about weight loss. Well, usually I enjoy it, but with all these cravings it just gets frustrating. I used to binge eat multiple times per week for days at a time, and to be honest, I am finding it hard to accept that I can never return to that. I am not having cravings for say, a chocolate... I have a craving for a full on blowout. I am really disgusted that I am feeling sorry for myself that I don't do it anymore.

All I can do is stick to plan, and find a way to have a sensible treat sometime soon. I hope WI goes ok for me this week, but who knows, its so hard to look at my intake objectively at the moment. I will do the best I can for as long as I can, and keep a stricter record of what I am doing. Tomorrow's food is sorted, I will do some planning tomorrow night and make sure this is a good week. I just need to be firm with myself, get my exercising in, and remember the bigger picture.
 
Still not in my right headspace today. I ate nothing all day, then I had dinner and 2 fibre plus bars. Here's hoping I can get sorted and I don't have a bad WI.. eating so little doesn't do me any favours!

Hi hun. You will get there again definitely sometimes we get like that and it will just click again. Don't forget how far you have come and how well youve been doing x

Thanks Jo. WI tomorrow will hopefully help me draw a line :)
 
I went out for lunch with work today, so as I wasn't in the mood for a jacket potato and beans (my usual), I decided to have a chicken and bacon salad and go red. I am feeling slightly more normal today, which is a relief. I am meeting up with an old friend on friday for a day trip in London, and we haven't seen eachother in ages. I want it to be a great day, so I need to make sure I am feeling alot more chirpy by then :)

23rd May
Fibre Plus Bar (HexB)
Chicken and bacon salad (undressed, no fat) - 2 syns? It was very simple, I am only giving it some syns as a precaution, I expect it was free.
Scrambled eggs on toast (HeB + 3)
Banana
Yoghurt
Total 5 syns

WI tomorrow night, no idea what to expect. I have clearly not been in the right mindset, and haven't had enough superfree, but I haven't eaten too many syns either, so we'll have to see. Might sound strange, but I just know I am not going to give up, however demotivated I become. This is the most I have ever managed to achieve without surgery, and I am proud of it. I am going to be even prouder as I lose each pound on my way to target. I am not going to blow it now, I have worked hard to lose my 20 pounds :)
