Lost & Found... Map Gone AWOL!

[Bess]

Come out, come out......where are you?

I was thinking that Miss JT's advice about SS+ pre 810 seemed sensible to me..or perhaps 810 is just too low for you now?

Ok, just checked back and saw CDC is coming.....hope all is good. Will catch up later. xx

 

[Bess]

Come on then, what happened with the CDC? Tell all. xx

 

[Katycakes]

OK... CDC has been and gone, leaving me with enough products to sink a small ocean liner. I bought loads and don't have an app for 3 weeks, as not sure having a car parked outside with CAMBRIDGE WEIGHT LOSS PLAN emblazoned across it is helping my morale... wonder how many of her clients like that? Luckily i live in back of beyond but guaranteed a walker or neighbour or delivery person will go past and word will be all over village by nightfall... sigh!

OK. I lost 5lbs. That's OK, and I am happy. I wish it had been more, as that was over 2 weeks, and I have been messing this last week with two 'binge' days. It coud have been more, but 5lbs is respectable.

I am going to carry on with 810 for a week and see how it goes. Hopefully I will settle into a routine and get used to it and stop rebelling. If anything like a binge happens again, I will move up to 1000, though... it's demoralising to find yourself out of control again & I want something that will work. 810 used to for me, and I am hoping I can make it work again, but if things go pear shaped again (like myself) I will step up and take the slower losses.

Thanks all of you for your cheer-leading & support over last fortnight, I wouldn't still be trying if it weren't for you all. You show me that it CAN be done and keep me motivated & smiling even when I want to yell & chuck my box of CD stuff out of the window. You are lovely, all of you, and I appreciate that, I promise.

Big hugs.

Waiting to hear....Hope you ok?
Thinking about the ss+ thing... may be worth considering. I really struggled to even consider moving back on plan after my blip. Here i am day 4 of ss, in ketosis, which helps so much. Although still hard, i do feel a little more able to return to eating again with some control. xx

5lbs!! 5lbs!! :talk017:

That's loads!! Fantastic!!
You know we all (well I do ) want to get to goal so quickly that we forget how weight really does take a bit of time to come off, that's a lot of weight gone by anyone's standards and on any diet whilst eating food in 2 weeks.

Because we struggle every day it seems to be taking ages and we all just want to BE THERE, but it isn't really like that, as our previous struggles have shown.

I read somewhere this morning that even KD had taken 3 attempts to get to goal, so think on that, that is heartening.

So do as I say and not as I do.....(chocolate drink...Bad Bess...)
Plod, plod, plod..... :hug99:xx

5lbs is super Katy, really super. But no no no to a branded car!

You can make 810 work for you if it is the right thing for you.

Have a great afternoon lovely, feel good about that loss!

Morning Katy. Here's to a good day, build on that 5lb loss. Onwards and downwards today xxx

 

[Katycakes]

Thanks Wales. Wandered off track again last night... back on it today. Working this morning, out this afternoon... will have skinny latte & bar in cafe at lunch, and be back for third shake & tea at usual time. Have to push that 5lb loss down to 11 stone, that is my mini-goal for now. So 6lbs to go.

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 5LB LOSS! Sorry i'm a bit late on this one, cross posted yesterday.. Thats an amazing result Katy, and deserved after all the effort you have put in, especially as you have struggled so much. Onwards and downwards from here! Hope you're feeling good and motivated still. I consider post WI blips to be the norm.....i don't think there has been a single week where i didn't nibble. Going to WI later, and prob going up to join you on 810, so going to try to make this the first time i don't cheat! Here's to a positive and happy day xx​

 

[Wales]

Enjoy the skinny latte and the bar, I get some bars this eve and am v. excited about it! Here's to us all having a fab Thursday, we can do it x

 

[Katycakes]

Thanks...

Have to post as just had a mini-wobble. I needed a particular bag to pack up some stuff for a workday next week, went looking for it & found it full of Xmas things, those general kinds of prezzies you buy and then maybe don't find the right home for. Amongst the cards and little bits & bobs were:
2 choc reindeer
1 small box GU truffles

(GU... sent to torment me after yesterday's assertion I had never tasted it).

I physically wavered. Put the reindeers & other stuff in a box and put to top of wardrobe. Took the GU box and carried it through to living room. Put it down next to my laptop. Then saw herb tea & CD hot choc made & waiting for me on table. Looked at chocs. Put on high bookshelf, at back, out of sight. Had hot choc and started sipping herb tea. Came on minis.

I actually do not want to eat them. I want to stay 100% today, and tomorrow, and day after. And day after that. All sorts of thoughts zapping through my head. I can give the reindeers to kids, or to someone else's kids. They are easy to pass on... also, can just give the chocs to someone. But wonder if leaving them on shelf could be a challenge... showing me that I can have them, but don't want to. If I manage a few days, it could work as a good deterrent. Or I may just be setting myself up for a fall. But then I have fallen so often anyway. Maybe try a new tactic?

I think I am going a bit mad, but it almost makes sense to me. An experiment. I will keep you posted.

Sticking to the plan, because I WANT to.

Morning Katy, Rooting for you hun!
day 4 for me and still going strong, you can do it !

Have a lovely day!

[Katycakes]

9.46 & the box is still there...

[LellyCD]

his could be a long day katy!

 

[Wales]

At the moment, not eating them initially was a superb achievement. Perhaps better to donate them elsewhere and feel good about that. Having them there as a test isn't perhaps necessary at the moment -just making that first choice was fab. If they are there as a test of strength it could distract from other things and focus you in one direction. Go about your day, make another good decision, then move on to another. Just a thought, but go you x

Go Katy! You can do it! I'm impressed at your plan, i have to confess i am trying something similar. After packing away all goodies so i couldn't get to them, OH opened a box of chocs- (they were not a threat if still sealed somehow!!??) I almost shoved them away, but decided against. They sit on top of the fridge, in eyesight and so far i have resisted. Also have the homemade cookies i the cupboard now.....eeeekk.
I figured that, although this may not be the easiest time to have to face such temptation, in my head there may never come a good time. I can't go through life expecting to always hide naughty foods- i need to learn how to resist and make a conscious decision about what i eat and be happy with those choices. It may fall flat on my face, i can almost picture myself sat in the kitchen with wrappers strewn around me, but i am determined its not going to happen. I have took the box down, and opened it several times, but so far been able to put it back.
So, what i am saying, in my ususal long winded waffle, is i understand where you're coming from with your experiment. I have no idea if its a 'good' plan or not, but i guess there no harm in trying something new. So sending lots of positive willpower your way to achieve whatever you want xx

 

[sleepybird]

I wouldn't rest until I had eaten them. I hope you don't x
