Lost & Found... Map Gone AWOL!

Hi Katy - Happy New Year! It sounds like you had an eventful NYE! What a shame about the problem with one of your guests (and how uncomfortable it must have been for the OH/ daughter).

No need to panic (as I keep telling myself repeatedly) as we will shed any unwanted flabber as we learn to maintain. I just wonder how long it will take for us to learn - I suspect it will take me years ;)

I'm not calorie counting or anything yet as I can't bring myself to do it, but am keeping one eye on what I'm eating with the aim of keeping below 1500. I did a few basic menus in WLR (like DT) so that I know approximately how much I can eat, but as there is still a lot of Xmas goodies in the house (home made) I will enjoy them in moderation. How I will do this, I don't know as moderation and I don't really mix very well, but I intend of making her my best friend this year so will keep trying. I've frozen food and cakes in individual portions so that I'm not tempted to eat too much in one go and my freezer is full of soup for those hungry moments.

Failing that I will be going to bed early for the next few months! :D

Take Care!
 
When you make friends with moderation, maybe you can introduce her to me? That'd be cool! After such a chaotic start to New Year, hoping things calm down a bit and I can get myself in the zone again... I can do it. WE can do it...

Um... the chaos continues. Have just been informed that all schools in the region are closed tomorrow (would have been first day back) due to the ice & snow... there is no grit left to clear the walkways, playgrounds, laybys, entrance areas etc and they are all like ice rinks... kids are over the moon!

Me, though... I feel like I am living in some kind of new Ice Age and wish we could have a thaw... please? Pretty please?

Any renegade thoughts I had of calling my CDC and stocking up with supplies have been scuppered... nobody is venturing up this way right now. Nobody in their right minds, anyhow... better go it alone!

Hi KC, you sound like you have been having a nightmare. Hope the weather improves soon so you can get back to some sort of normality, although the forecast is not looking too hopeful. Big 2010 hug to you.

I have just posted on the returners forum. I have gained 9lbs from last May when I was at my lightest. Considering Xmas/NYE that is not too bad. I am going to SS+ to get to target for Jess' engagement party on 27th Feb. 19lbs in 7 weeks should be very doable. I lost 15lbs in 3 weeks the first time I did CD. Wish me luck and I will keep on reading your diary until I can hopefully join you in Maintenance.

Take care of yourself sweetie

Hugs Chelsea... the damage for me now stands at 9lbs also, 6lbs from pre-xmas and 3lbs from the holiday period. Have only just admitted it out loud (well, in print.... same!). I love the attitude on this forum, though, which your post echoes... being proud of what we have lost to date and refusing to see a minor setback as anything more than that. We will do this. It helps to know I am not alone... because shifting this seems daunting, but panic is not on the menu... I can do it.

Hey hun, don't be daunted try not to look at is a whole but just one day at a time. If you take each day as it comes and do the best you can the numbers will sort themselves out in time.

Katy - I so agree, the positivity on this board is infectious - just as it should be.xx
 
Porge, something you posted on another thread really stuck in my mind... about the battle of letting go of the Xmas eat-all-you-want mentality... and how you thought it through and let it go and moved away, in spite of the desire to keep on picking at choc etc. This is what I want to leran, what I struggle with so much. It is a pattern I need to break, where a few days of indulgence turn into weeks, and so cause damage to my head and to my body. But your post made it so clear that it is a choice - MY choice. And I need to start making the right one. Thank you!!! I will get there.

AlexM, your words are really keeping me focused at the moment too... you are the voice of sanity and I know you are right, even when the little voices in my head are yelling that I have messed up and all is lost. They are wrong. I will be fine.

Thanks, both of you, for being there.

Hey Katy, i'm trying to break the post-christmas nibbling myself, it's added a couple more lbs to my xmas gain and although I feel like going back to strictness, i'm not going to do that but every day gets a little easier towards getting back to normal, not being too restrictive but a little better every day and it'll be back to normal soon. and soon all the biccies will be gone anyway...i hope!
It'll work out for you hun, keep practising!
Have a fab day

Thanks Lelly... a new day, and I am hopeful... need to get a grip.

Hey hon
Hope you have a good day today..... I too have been picking alot over christmas and found my first day without picking anything was yesterday when I was back at work.. i think being back in a Routine definately helps..
Hang in there hon.. its hard sometimes but your doing great.. your get there ..
love Marissa x
 
Morning Katy - Happy New Year!

Sorry to hear your NYE celebrations turned sour, I am constantly baffled at how selfish some people can be - no consideration for others feelings, almost waiting for an audience to over react and over act. Hope there aren't too many repercussions from it.

As for moderation, not seen too much round here lately however it is the small steps we take that are important.

Keep strong, and warm and safe indoors!

You hit the nail on the head for New Year Wales... I don't know yet what the outcome will be, but suspect they will stay together, it is a pretty messed up relationship. Think it's the end of our NY parties though, I can't have her here again, not fair on other guests. We can't have a party & not invite OH's best pal, so no more parties, which makes all of us sad. Can't see another way though, and maybe be good to break the pattern.

Every time I think I'm a nutcase from now on I will think of her and all will fall into perspective!

Routine... when can I have some? The local schools are all closed today cos of the ice & snow, & we had more snow overnight, I am so OVER the pretty white stuff now. I need to find myself some routine, so it will be a proper work day, and aiming at 1200 with diet tracker as a way of pulling back some sanity. Scales tipped 11st 10 today so the shame of a stone gain from my lightest in May/June will hopefully keep me on the straight and narrow.

Hope you are all good and doing well... hugs.

Hey Katy,

just echoing what Wales said about your RUDE and SELFISH guest on NYE. I dont get it why some people when they are having a rough time have to spoil it for everybody else!

Now me and my OH had a humdinger of a row on NYE morning and we were meant to be going to a party with our kids and he said he wouldnt go as it wouldnt be fair on the hosts. to which i said you cant do that to the kids but he said no Im not going.

he unfortunately is a stubborn sh*t at the best of times and he sulked all day then said at 3pm he wouldnt be at home when we got home and he would come back the following morning. we then had long prolonged silences until me and the kids went to the party and he said see you later to the kids which incensed me as he was just playing mind and power games with me.

so we jollied off to the party and kids had a great time and I quite enjoyed it to and felt as if I had had a big weight lifted and was looking forward to singledom and not having to answer to him all the time.

Im sorry I have rambled on your thread but the whiole point of that was even tho OH was being a stubborn sh*t trying to puinish me he didnt inflict it on our friends on NYE.

On the plus side I was 95% good yesterday witht the moderation malarkey and am nearly 1lb lighter this morning so thats helping spur me on! and hopefully to make you feel better I'm 3st heavier than my lightest last year so you wont need to take that long to get yours off.

WE CAN DO THIS!!!
Love
Jess

P.S. Chelsea Lou - pass on my congrats to Jess on her engagement - lovely news xxx
 
Jess, so sorry you are having a rough patch with OH. I hope you come through it, hun... men can be so stubborn and grumpy, tell me about it. I hope things are OK again now.

Feel free to offload on my thread anytime, after all my stuff about NYE party wasn't exactly CD stuff, but important stuff to me. The woman is crazy, she actually did drive away in the end, about 5-ish, and we all went to bed, and I lay there worried sick imagining her crashed into a ditch or skidding into other people... she came back an hour and half later, sat outside in car in -8 temps for another hour... I was scared to go out to her in case she drove off again... she then came in and got her partner & daughter & they drove home about 8.30, she left a not saying 'so sorry if I spoiled your party' Um... If? There was never an 'if'.

However, I am glad in a way to have some kind of an end to it, I have put up with her madness for way too long, but mainly because I care too much about the people close to her, her partner, daughter, step-daughter... she makes their lives a living hell.

Moving swiftly on!!!!

Ten past ten and I am doing OK, by this time yesterday I had crashed and burned with my face in a box of chocolates... today feels very different. This is the year I finally learn the lessons I stubbornly refused to absorb in 2009, and put them into practice. Yay!!!

Apparently shivering uses up lots of calories so by Spring we should all be lots of lbs lighter. Global warming seems like a sick joke at the mo lol
