It sounds like it has dropped off you this time too! 16lbs in four weeks is amazing, I lost only 1lb on week four as well but then lost 2.5lbs on week five.
Thanks katoof! Trouble is i have really high standards for myself and anything less than 100% is a failure in my eyes (Luckily Im not so harsh on everyone else!) I usually try not to use syns unless im desperate, and also in another way because Im scared I wont be able to stop if I start with the treats!
So with you both on this one, i too lost loads of weight on atkins but obviously put it all back on again! I am uber competitive but only with myself and therefore set myself standards in all aspects of life which are completely unattainable.... I too worried about treats but then realised that that is where i went wrong before ie felt great because i hadnt treated myself then got to target and ate everythinhg in sight! Now i dont profess to be an expert here, far from it, but i think that building in syns to everyday eating has helped me to go from an all or nothing attitude to every thing in moderation and still loose weight - hope this helps!
Never a good start into the day for me so I decided to have a "pamper Me" day. Spent hours in the bathroom, hair, nails, feet, scrupping, moiturising (that's probably why it took so long because there is lots of me to be moiturised )... Was great and once I emerged I made lunch of ovenbaked chicken with green bean salad. Later I'll do my nails properly while watching some eye-candy on dvd (not yet decided who'll be my little pick-me-up ).
). It's cold, rainy, miserable... I think we all have these days, and you made good choices, sticking to the plan - even if it's not particularly portion controlled. Do you maybe have syns left for a special treat? I always try to trick myself. Now I'm sitting in the living room, one of those Britta waterfilters next to me and drinking as if it's 30 degrees. I opened the window in the kitchen so that it's freezing and I don't want to go in there
I would open my kitchen window too except there is no door on my kitchen at the moment. I have all my sins left but am going to try and save them for the cheesecake later! at least I have exercised today and I am going swimming and aqua aerobics in a bit so i will be ok, just dont understand where this hunger has appeared from. I am due on so maybe its that, dreading putting on this week as loads of others said they have when they were due on)
Just couldn't stop eating it and wondered why I woke up with a thumping headache this morning.
Good job really cos there's about 5 litres of it!
