Munchbunch's diary !

[munchbunch]

That's so true Marie - I don't know why others take offense that we don't eat or drink. It's not effecting them!! So strange! It's a hard diet and people should either be supportive or say nothing at all. I nearly sipped my sisters wine today - looked yummy, but I stopped myself because I know what wine tastes like, and one day I shall have it again! One day! soooon?!!! Xx

Couldn't agree more ! Just don't understand it
Near enough said we wouldn't have anything in common because I wasn't drinking !
Defiantly didn't go down well @ all !!

 

[xxmariexx]

It's sad that doing this diet we find out who our true friends are. I know some people just don't get it, and I can understand that. To insinuate all you have in common is alcohol is quite sad. I'm sure your friendship is so much more than that and she just can't see it just now. Could she be jealous?x

It was more the partner ! We do most things together adults and children .

It always has been a problem for them me going round with a coke zero and not a beer ...........
For them the fact I won't just have one or two is an issue .....they just don't understand thinking its unnatural to not have a drink and don't see the harm it can do when on plan !

Needless to say I shall not be going again for a while

Probably cause its a change to the norm for them. People generally don't like change. People don't realise how hard this plan is and just "one drink" or "a meal off" could lead to us going off plan for days. Well it could me x

Couldn't agree more !! I couldn't do it would end up in a downwards spiral ! X

 

[xxmariexx]

Oh me too. I know myself too well. That's why no other plan works for me. I'd go over my points/sins/calories for the day, think no point now, might as well stuff my face and start tomorrow. Tomorrow would turn into Monday and so on. I need the strictness of this plan. Other people just don't get it. But hey ho x

I find I eat more on say weight watchers than I usually would... Say at the end of the day I've got 6 points left but I'm full.. I feel like I've got to use them so eat crap to use them up... I am not sure that's very helpful in the long run!

I'm exactly the same !If I have choices , I make the wrong ones .Slimming world didn't work for me because I don't like fruit / veg so the 1/3 plate thing never worked although I did hide it in mash etc but it wasn't enough !!

Weight watchers again your ok if your not a fussy Eater can fill up on veggies and fruit ..... I was always starving resulting in me going over points etc .

I choose vlcd as it works for me !!
Despite arguments with the other half I'm continuing on As I said before he doesn't want me on this plan or any like it !! He thinks I should join the gym and do it that way

I'm so sick of everyone else's negativity this plan is hard enough without that !!

Must be really hard when your partners not supportive. Not as if you can avoid him, tho bet you'd like too.
Good plan buying the month cause you won't want to waste money. Plus youl be so near your goal when it's due to run out.
Think of me. I've still at least 5 stones to go! By the time I'm thin il be separated with no friends aha x

I started at 16 stone myself always had problems with partner and friends 2 years ago I came off plan Marie to go abroad for 2 weeks I came back and couldn't get into it again wishing id never came off plan !!

This time there isn't any way that I'm stopping until I get there ....which I'm sure we both will !!!
If friends aren't there at the end .... Then they where never true friends unfortunate I know it's just the way the cookie crumbles xx

Ahh the dreaded week 3 weigh in! There to test and challenge our motivation!!
But also remember that one pound is still a loss (it's the weight of a guinea pig!)

I really feel for you with the lack of support. It's so hard and even if people don't like it or don't agree with it they should still have the maturity just to keep quiet.
I had to really drum it into my hubby and he's much better now. If he goes oh yummy in a sarcastic tone when he sees my dinner I just say again about how if he loves me he has to accept my diet journey and show some support. He certainly didn't complain last time I'd lost lots of weight and had confidence and wore more fitted stuff!
As for your friends - it's so sad that they can't be more supportive. I do hope they can get over their problems with this diet. Why they should gave problems I have no idea! I've only just come out of the closet so to speak about this diet. I've slowly started telling more people what I'm doing and I'm in week 6!! I kept quiet at the beginning because of people's negative opinions. Last time on Cambridge I found it easier to avoid the subject altogether. But it's hard as my friends always seem to be having cake! Discussions always arise and opinions always come out.
Grr.

Stay strong and remember that even if your personal circle at home can't support you that we are always here to support you. Feel free to rant away and we'll always listen!

You're doing so well!!



I hope your headache passes soon!! Xx

Thankyou Sammy ...... I'm sure you will be hearing more from me on the subject .
I wouldn't not be friends with them it's just they make it uncomfortable which is why I'm choosing to spend my weekends at home from now on !!
My time on lipotrim I spent at home then as we as friends didn't really spend that much time together so wasn't an issue . There are a few events coming up that I can't attend because of work commitments but tbh in glad I have work as the excuse ! Ohh dear lol if I don't laugh to will cry

Headache still here unfortunately ! Paracetamol I reckon only take as a last resort ....
Iv drank loads of water so it's not that , I do have odd days where I feel terrible though maybe it's just one of those things ? I hope x

 

[Sammy33]

Hopefully it'll pass soon. Could be stress related too!!
Hope the paracetamol kicks it's butt!! Xx

Your doing so, so well . Your so motivated, there's no way you won't reach your goal. I'm sure your friends will come round. It's their insecurities not yours.
I'm terrified to come off plan cause I know I'm an all or nothing kinda person and a VLCD is the only thing that works for me. I just can't have it and that's that.
I'm dreading Christmas in a way. I really admire people who can give themselves a day off and get straight back on plan the next day.
I also have an all inclusive hol to tennerife in jan. The food is meant to be outstanding and I know I won't be able to resist. I'm already fretting about it .
Think week 3 is a hard week eh. We'll get through it.
Hope your feeling a bit better x

I should be off completely mid November however I thought I might come back for the few weeks before Xmas to try and get some more off if I wanted too ........,

Holidaying sounds lovely !! Personally a holiday is just that I'd come off plan and enjoy yourself and get back to it when you come back
I came off to go to Corfu and In the 2 weeks eating and drinking pretty much what I wanted I gained 5lb , I did eat a lot if chicken and drank gallons of water and alcohol lol
that isn't a great deal I didn't feel for 2 weeks eating and drinking what I wanted

It is hard getting back on track but you'll be able to do that I'm sure Marie

Where abouts you staying in Tenerife ?

Wish it was me mid nov. Il be slogging away at this realistically until Easter. I've just got into the 16s. A 5 pound gain was great for 2 weeks in the sun. I fear il easily gain a stone in a week. Only saving grace if if it goes on quick, it usually comes off quick.
Jan is costa adjue in tennerife, tho think I've misspelled it . We went to Mexico a few years ago and the hotel was superb so this is the sister hotel in tennerife.
I'm just back from there a few weeks then I have disneyland Paris in feb. The thought of the rides and turnstiles being big gives me the fear. So be on plan, off plan, on plan, off plan from dec for me. Just need to go for damage limitation.
Hope your still going to look in on us all when your at goal x
