Moo's year - 24 st start and restart

Evening birds

I'm still laughing at the thank god for your arse comment!! Lol

Solange - I think my diet is quite cave man like - meat, fruits and veggies although I have cheese and not sure if that's allowed. Works for me because as soon as you show me some white carbs I can't stop eating. At work I never even have a little chocolate when people bring in cakes because I can't stop!!! No filter at all.

Tell you what I'm really missing - potatoes. If ever I get to maintain I'm going to treat myself to a jacket potato once a week. One Christmas when I was skinny (around 8stone 12) my brothers and I did the roast potato challenge. We made my mum make loads of regular sized roasties and whoever ate the most won the TV remote control for after dinner. I didn't win but ate 16. Yes 16. I am literally like a savage. No wonder I'm single!! Lol!!

I'm so nervous about tomorrow morning but have the train kit packed:

- Nail polish to sort my nails out
- 2 mini bottles of Sauvignon blanc
- my train tickets already printed
- heat and closer magazines

Choosing underwear when you're seeing someone is nothing short of traumatic !! I keep thinking if I was skinny id be confident but I don't really think that's true. Stretch marks, non perfect boobs it goes on!!! At some point I'm going to have to accept me for me :-(

I was talking today with the 4 secretary's at work about food behaviour and 4/5 of our group confessed to throwing food away to stop ourselves eating it then retrieving it from the bin to eat!!! Omfg!!! Deranged!! I was one of the four obvs ;-)

Destamia, Lunch looks to die for :) and tea, well lets just say outstanding (nom nom)
your burger!!! you have done so great to get to where you are, and that 5 stone loss is around the corner. So if u want a burger have your burger, you need to treat yourself once in a while or else, you will crave and it more.... NOW if i had the burger, it would have been accompanied by a large fries, homemade coleslaw and a gallon of coca cola lol so a burger is OK by me ;)
My heel is killing me :( today is the worse day ever. Im like lm dragging my left leg lol. And we are heading into a bank holiday weekend :( so no rest for me until next week. Just power naps :) so by tuesday i will be a dog chewing the head off everyone lol i feel tired just thinking about it. My daughter is doing great, shes doing as she was told. Moaning her tummy is rumbling, and moaning about all the food advertisements on tv. Lol safe to say she is not in ketosis yet lol but otherwise OK. :) xx
@solange im half irish. So our diet growing up consisted of bread and potatoes :) oh and 'proper butter' :) you will look fab in your maxi dress. :) x
@blondcat good luck with tomorrow, and don't be so nervous. :) x and don't forget to let us know how it all goes! x
 
Destamia our gallant leader! Wow how life can throw a spanner in the works can't it? I know you will be fine. What a lovely big post and much appreciated. Your arse is great from your photos! My husband once moaned that mine was too small and could I put on half a stone so I did but then put on more. Crazy.
Hez doing that liquid diet, I have nothing but admiration. Me too, bread and pots as a child to fill up on. It's so firmly ingrained. I am loving this less bloated feeling though, well worth the effort.
Blondcat, all I will say is close your eyes, bathe yourself in blue colour, repeat after me ohm, ohm, ohm. Say, I am beautiful. You are, OK?
Hugs to all. :character00116:
 
Good morning everyone. How did you sleep tonight ? Better then me I guess. We had visitors this night 4:30. Police. We live in share-house and one of our ex- house neighbor is in run. He havent been here for two months now. Month ago we had some electronic monitory supervision officers looking for him. He have the leg bracer and when he left he left his box behind. Those officers come at midnight. We were not sleeping yet and they only take box away and said they wont come back. But tonight we had police, 4:30 - they had warrant and searched the house for him or goods he may left behind. Did not take long but 15-20 min and the police look in our closet and even under the bed :p
Anyway - after the did not find anything and left I just could not fell a sleep again. For hour I was turning sides and looking at sealing before
I manage to go back to sleep. Lucky I dont have to go to work in morning.

Now Im up and had my coffee feeling like new person. :)

Day 7 breakfast
Tuna and cottage cheese on crisp bread( he). Fresh salad and 1,5 hard boiled egg. Coffee
Syns 2

@destamia oh that sounds very starsky and hutch... Bless you, on the up side, you will sleep sound tonight :) x
breakfast looks yummy, i miss tuna :( lol

Hez - im glad to hear your girl is doing well. When is your first weight in with her ? And as for you - 31 days with out food , amazing will power , keep going - I really cant wait to hear from you that you reached target :)
You have so many hard days ahead, be strong. I know what pain in legs means when you have to work long day and on your feet. But as you know every pound we lose makes our feet sing from joy. I still have pain in my legs but not so much anymore and its all thanks to weight loss. I still have pain in my right heel every morning and first steps are so so painful, but after first steps things getting better and pain slowly fades. :)
I remember you said you have wedding to go in sept - I bet you will look fab there, by the looks how well you doing. Keep going girl and let us know how your day is going xx
 
Moo's year - 24 st start ( 4 st gone ) :)

Blondcat -
You made me laugh last night. I was laughing about arse thing myself :p
And take food back from trash and eat it - I havent done it at home, as I try not to put food in bin but at work , I often take some food to dish wash on trays so I wont eat it and then little later find myself standing there and reaching my big finger to get it back. Lol. I know I should bin food right away but I think maybe someone wants a bite ( read :me :p ) and so it goes.

About getting use to yourself -
Do not be so hard against yourself. Do not fight with photoshops hun. None of us are photoshop perfect. You look fab and you should be so proud of yourself. When I love myself as I am and find myself doable - so should you hun. You working so hard and you deserve to love yourself and your body - do not search " things you want to changes " but " things you want to leave as it is " and focus on those :)
Dress up sexy and see yourself as man would see you. Not like jealous girl friend who looks only something bad to say. Man will look at your eyes and smile and will love you only for that :)
Enjoy and keep us dated how you doing xx

Solange - At one point I wanted to do paleo diet and was ready to try it but back then I was not so much into veggies and fruits. Maybe its because back home all fresh fruit and veggie cost so much that I could not afford it. But I have made mental note to myself that will try it at some point. Not to lose weight but to get my body clean. As I believe this diet is good for cleaning up all the trash our body have collected over the years.
Good luck and let us know how you doing and what food you eat. Maybe you have some nice and good receipt to share :)
 
Thanks destamia - you are so awesome. The ford porn is killing me - it looks AMAZING!!!!!! I really like the look of the oaty breakfast. How would I make that ? (bear in mind you're talking to someone that doesn't know how to turn their oven on)!!!!
 
Destamia, words of wisdom and so right. The number of times I was made to feel bad about myself by someone else's words are so true. Blondcat you are fab and don't forget it. We are all fab!!

I have something shameful to confess. I have just prepared chicken jalfrezi (jar of Pateks!). Will be doing basmati rice too. OMG and naan bread. Daughter will be down from London tonight for the weekend and she loves curry. I have the feeling my halo may slip a little.

We have had some trouble here and my OH has been fraught. Worse thing ever for him but our dog got injured. OH and him are so close. Emotional times. We are just waiting for a scan to tell us OH is clear of cancer and then we can feel free.

Hugs to all.:)

Well you in luck then as the overnight oat is just fab and very easy to make. As the name say - you make it night before. Basically you just take class or jar and put on spoon of oat and another spoon of yogurt. I use basic non flavor oats (35 g as healthy extra ) and fat free cherry yogurt from asda as it syn free for me. You could do layer of berries too if you like to. Then cover the top with cling film or what ever you have and leave in fridge til next morning. It will taste like liquid cereal bar and in you favorite flavor or berries :) I would say its like christmas in your mouth , lol

Let us know what you think of it :)

@destamia. Thanks my lovely. You really do keep us all on track :) x your a blessing xxx
@solange enjoy your time with your family, even if it is over a curry. Its the little things in life that make us happy. Hope everything works out well for your family, we have all been there, and i wouldn't wish it on anyone. Thats what makes us stronger xxx
ps destamia, do you not put water in that oat thing!!! Or does the yoghurt do the job (masterchef i ain't lol) but im learning some FAB, DELICIOUS, and HEALTHY recipes off a friend on here ;) XXX

She has the same day as me Tuesday.
I got my invite to my wedding yesterday :), now the pressure is on. Its on 21/09 so i still have time to lose more weight, and i have told myself if i am still on it 100%, i wont eat or drink that day. (The thoughts of that, actually bring me out in a sweat, trying to explain to my irish family that I'm on a diet that says I'm not allowed any food or drink, i can imagine their reactions lol) but i would be stupid to break my diet for a weekend, as i know that would be it. Me and lipotrim no more, i think i would be picking after that. So i would have to try a different diet :(, and me and food cant be trusted, not yet anyways. What will i wear that day!!! I cant remember the last time i dressed up and actually looked forward to it :) xxx
 
So I have literally Sat here at work for the past hour ( being rudely interrupted by customers I might add ) reading this amazing thread. I say this with the utmost love and respect, but its so nice to know I'm not the only lady thats started dieting at over 20 stone, and over 24 stone. I just started out at 24stone 1lbs, 1 pound lighter then yourself and it fills me with such hope that I too can be where you are now If i keep on track and follow the plan and its inspirational. I've noticed a few familiar names in the thread and looking forward to having some banter with them aswell as yourself here in your thread.

Well done for everything you have accomplished, There is no doubt in my mind you will reach your goals :) I'm just so happy to now be a part of it and bare witness to such an amazing accomplishment and I can only hope I can have a similar journey like yourselves on here and that maybe if you have a spare moment you could help encourage myself on my thread too :) x
