NumptyMum's Journey To A Healthy Mummy

Today has been ok but did have a few thoughts on lets quit and tomorrows a new day but i stayed firm. Havent felt really hungry but just bored of not being able to snack on whatever I want but its a habit I need to break out of so all is good. I was meant to do my mini goals but I got sidetracked with one born every minute so will have to crack on and do that tomorrow so that I have some extra motivation when i meet them. Going to get into bed now and hope my son doesnt wake me up like he did yesterday night on several occasions x
 
Green Tea
Chocolate Shake
Tea
Chilli
Coffee
2 boiled eggs
Praline bar
150ml of skimmed milk
3 litres of water

Small confession had a little bit of the egg mayonnaise I was making for my daughters lunch and teeny bit of cheese but overly happy as it didn't lead to a binge x
 
Today I made my big list of little goals and did try to put them up but it wouldnt let me put them all up because i think i need to post more than 50 times but I have put on what it allowed me so they are enough for me to work through hopefully until I can put up the rest of my mini goals. My main goal is to get under 200lbs with slim and save before returning to sw and really hoping i can do it mostly in 12 weeks. I hope I can last the 12 weeks aswell!
Today has been a busy so eating was the last thing on my mind even though a trip to Asda's had me craving doughnuts as thats all I could smell so I didn't stay around that side really long and finished my shopping super quick. Its that ttom and thankfully I haven't really craved anything sweet or felt hungry just more thirsty which is probably more to do with s&s than ttom. So day 2 completed and 82 more days left xxx

I hated the banana! I'm not a porridge lover and I also found it sickly and too much banana flavour lol.
I am a silent lurker on the diaries here and find them very motivating and distracting x
 
Downed a shake, green tea and tea so far and feel like a water bed lol. Need to do a meat shop so will be getting in some chicken and weighing that out so I dont always have to rely on eggs x

Sounds like you are doing well. It will be easier to resist the little nibbles once you are in ketosis but it is definitely easier if you can avoid them. Great idea on weighing out the portions. So easy to just have a little more!

Your right about the nibbles I need to avoid them as usually by now I'm in ketosis but its not happened. Today I swiped the chicken wing from the childrens roast chicken (the insisted they wanted a roast today!) because I usually give it to my husband but as he was at work I took it :) So today I have decided anything that I am tempted to dip my finger in I will only cook when my hubby is around from work to avoid temptation until I see those pounds melt away which is usually enough incentive for me to not have extra's x
P.S. I stupidly told my hubby to get 4kg of chicken breast and it took me half an hour to cut, weigh, bag and stuff the freezer x
 
Green Tea
Vanilla Shake with coffee added in
Tea
Cottage Pie
Coffee
100g chicken
150ml of skimmed milk
3.5 litres of water

Another confession had a chicken wing and some chicken breast from my childrens roast chicken so dropped a bar. Plus I have a temperature and my tounsil's are starting to hurt so just feel so unwell. Dont know how i'm going to cope with the school run tomorrow and looking after my children as my hubby will be at work from 2 in the afternoon till 10 so no help for most of the day :(
 
After a week and a half off s&s because I was unwell and on antibiotics I am now ready to restart again tomorrow just hope I don't fall ill again. I have lost 3lbs through feeling unwell so will update my stats later. Todays task will be to get all my packs ready for the week ahead x
 
Thank you Clinquant I am looking forward to tomorrow. I am in the right frame of mind right now so hopefully can complete a full 12 weeks and than decide what to do x
 
Day 1 going well. Have had a green tea, litre of water, cup of tea with skimmed milk and a caramel shake. Have decided to keep tuesday as my weigh in day instead of monday as I really want to complete a full 12 weeks from today x
 
Today ended with failure :sigh: I started off so well but i need to control my stress eating. Been chasing a referral for my son by the doc as he needs to be seen by a ear, nose and throat specialist at the hospital for a possible tonsillectomy. It was meant to be done yesterday but wasnt and neither was it done today and have been told it will be done tomorrow. My son has just turned 2 last month and he is really struggling with breathing as he only breaths through his mouth not nose and when he is asleep and tries to breath through his nose but cant and wakes up screaming or starts grunting. Even while writing this out I had to stop and go up as he had started to cry. I thinks he has sleep apnea and it really worries me. I just want my naughty little boy back.
I guess me eating junk wont help anything so its a fresh start tomorrow. I have taken out packs for the next 7 days and they are on my kitchen surface to keep me on the straight and narrow x
 
Stress eating is such a hard habit to break! Once you're fully in ketosis it's easier, you don't have to deal with physical hunger as well as emotional! Give yourself a few days of doing as little as possible and getting as much support as you can from your partner. Once that's out of the way it'll be easier.

12 weeks really isn't that long, I've done nearly 10 now, it goes really quickly and you're not missing out much, food only takes up a small proportion of your day, if anything it gives you even more time!

Take it a step at a time. Aim for the first day, then the first 3 or 4 (to establish ketosis) then the first week etc.

Thank you x Your right I need to get over that first day and than it gets easier for me. I had no excuse for yesterday, i don't even feel much hunger. I did combat my stress eating before i got pregnant with my 4th baby but as soon as I had her I found it so hard to cope again with stress eating and here I am 8 and half months later still trying to cope :) x
 
Right today is a new start. I have all my packs lined up for the next 7 days so no deviating from plan. So day 1 of 84 days will be:

Green Tea
Vanilla Shake with coffee added in
Tea
Cottage Pie
Coffee
2 boiled eggs
150ml of skimmed milk
3 litres of water
 
Brilliant, you sound very determined!

And let go of terms like 'excuses' or any kind of guilt. It's a diet, you haven't killed anyone. That kind of thinking helps form a negative self image and it'll impact on your self belief and available willpower. Be kind to yourself, and recognise the diet as doing something positive for yourself which you deserve.
 
Hellooo I'm back. A lot has happened since my last stint on s&s where I kinda totally gave up. My mum passed away on the 26th of March from terminal cancer, was involved in a car crash the same day thanks to my stupid sister and currently not talking to my brother or sisters PHEW! It took me a couple of weeks but now I am ready to tackle my weight again. Currently i'm on day 3 and so far its been good apart from a really rumbly belly in bed last night. I am doing lifestyle and having 2 boiled eggs in the evening trying to combat feeling hungry at bedtime. I want to do s&s for the next 9 weeks including 4 weeks in Ramadan (I'm I MAD) to give me the boost I need to stay motivated in sw x
 
Food for today:

Cherry chocolate shake
Tea
Praline bar
Chilli
Tea
2 boiled eggs
150ml of skimmed milk
3 litres of water
