Lost & Found... Map Gone AWOL!

Woohoo, lets go for it today Katy..... today is the day, today is the day.....lol
 
So busy with work just now, haven't caught up with mini's, but wanted to see how you are. Looking brighter by the sound of things - good. x
 
Thanks for the support guys... so far so good... am holding out will midday for lunch and it has not been easy, but I will do it... and will have a CD hot choc at 3... planning means no option to snack... just ONE perfect CD day will be so good for my head. And then I can build from there. Anyway... this post is just me trying to stay motivated!

Yey is 1.30 already and your still on track so keep it up my dear think of how proud you will feel going to bed tonight xxxx
 
OK. As good a day as I have had in ages... wasn't easy but feels great to be at this end of it!

Brekky: CD porridge, spoon 0% yog, blackberries
lunch: 2 quorn fillets, slice toast, big green salad
snack: CD hot choc
tea: boiled egg, slice toast; shape yoghurt

Only two CD products... deffy under 1000 cals... feel happy & not hungry for a change. Yay!!!

Almost forgot... wooo! Got my 'reward' for a good day as well. Parcel arrived from Boden. Had ordered dress, 2 cardies and 2 jumpers, as have been so restrained with buying new stuff and nothing at all will fit me once the weather starts getting cold again, all my woolies were size 16/18. I ordered 12s but the dress was quite fitted so chickened out & ordered one in 12 & one in 14. Opened the parcel, and one of the dresses. Noticed that the one still in its package was the 12. Tried the dress on, and it fit perfectly, very fitted but looked fab. But no room to spare, & I knew the 12 would never fit. Still, know Boden not renowned for 'big' sizes so didn't feel bad.
Then took dress off and checked the label... the packer had mistakenly sent me 2x size 12s!!! Wooo! It's no big thing, just made me feel so good... I still cannot get my head around the fact that 12s really fit me. And that these little dresses and cardies are for ME!!!
Sometimes it's the little things that make you happy!

5' 8" and a 12!! Just brilliant Katy!! Well done, I love Boden clothes too. What a boost, that'll help to keep the Munchies at bay. Glad you had a better day! x
 
Well done on having such a great day hon..
Wooooooooooooooh for the dresses and cardis you must look great in them hon!!! size 12 woooooooooooooooh you must look fab tall and thin............... x
 
Aw thanks... it's weird how it takes something like that after a wobble to make you stop and see how far you have actually come. And my head still didn't accept I was a 12 even though I knew my old stuff no longer fitted... have been wearing some vintage dresses from long ago for work stuff, and when at home just slopping around in skirts that hang round my hips and size 16 vest tops (worn AS vests when I was a 16/18 as I'd never have allowed skin to show) & billowing jumpers. And those are the ones that are from my smaller days, but I can see they look silly. Anyway, the Boden stuff is a real boost. I need to pack up the last of the big stuff and give it away.

Another reward today... for first time in 3 weeks, scales are under 11st. Only just, but they are. So 4lbs-ish lost, and now it feels more possible that I can get to ultimate goal of 10st 7. And then STAY there. Not seeing CDC till next thurs, so won't adjust any stats until then.

And the biggest reward of all is the feeling that I CAN do it, CAN make all of this work, which comes from yesterday's GOOD eating day. And has set scene for a good day today, which feels much less daunting. So that is good. I won't be complacent as I am working in Edinburgh all Sat & Sun & will be off plan for that, as there is a work dinner sat night, a lunch Sunday & a 'coffee & cakes' sat afternoon. I will not be scared of it though, will eat sensibly and not lose the plot. And monday, back to plan.

I think if I am looking for what I have learned from last weeks binge/wobble it is that as long as you stay in the fight, keep caring, keep resisting, you will get through to the other side of whatever the binge demons might throw at you. It's that staying in the fight that counts. And if that means lots of angst and panic and asking for help, well, better than running away to bury my head in the sand and self-medicate with chocolate for the next 40 years.

No contest.

Woohoo Katy, you are sounding so much better now that the binge is WAAAAY behind you. Bet you look stunning in your dress, wish I was taller, only a stumpy 5ft 4, am at the moment trying to find some jeans that are 2 foot too long... Good luck with the weekend, I am sure that now you are so positive you will do well with your food choices, you did excellently whilst away. And a huge congratulations on the weight loss, its so inspiring when we get just below the stones like you have with the 11 stones and I have done with the 10 stones... Hope you have a great day today and take care of yourself.... so good to have positive Katy back again.
 
Yey positive Katy is back for good!!! Lots of good news today then my dear well done with your loss and your slinky dress bet it looks gorgeous and have a great weekend in Edinburgh. What a lovely city it is and im sure your head is in the right place to make all the right food choices at the weekend enjoy!!xxxx
