Thanks girlies *big hug*
I can't even lie, I cheated again last night.
I know it's down to stress and people actually laugh when I say I need help when it comes to food but I always turn to it in my hour of need.
I've woken up with a new purpose and I have 18 days (Notting Hill Carnival) to shed at least half the weight.
I did start the Insanity workout from YouTube but had to keep stopping because of the effects of Slimatee and the exercise making my bowels want to release.
Picking up the full version tonight and I can't wait, as the taster definitely got my heart rate pumping
I actually feel like I've let myself down, as I'm sure I could have been very close to TW by now but I guess life likes to throw things at you and it's up to you to try and handle them methodically.
In saying that:-
Notting Hill Carnival in t-minus 18 days
Miami in t-minus 52 days
TriniMaria is now back with a purpose...

Trini, love, it's not a race.
As long as you get there, timing doesn't matter. And heck, if you have a bit of fun along the way, so much the better

chin up, lady TM! you're definitely not alone in this, trini. even though i feel great on dukan, and much more in control of cravings and bingeing than ever before, it's not possible to change the relationship that we have with food overnight. we love eating, and most of us turn to food when we're stressed, unhappy, bored.... i still crave sugar, especially at totm, and still get really hungry sometimes, and still eat for pure boredom. even the great doctor can't change that
but you have to believe that you can beat this, otherwise you'll never feel in control of what you eat. And i think that will make it hard to maintain your tw in the long run.
i think that the best things i've learned with dukan is that:
1. the cheating itself does NOT matter at all, it's what you do afterwards that counts. we were not designed to be good girls and obey the rules all the time, but the weeks and months of good behavior far outweigh (hehe!) the occasional cheat/binge.
2. you can still have your treats and comfort food, but in a lighter form. i used to happily eat a jar of nutella, full fat philly, even condensed milk (please don't judge me!!!) and call it a 'treat'. this afternoon i made myself a bowl of decadent choc-mint pudding with quark, yoghurt, sweetener, cocoa and peppermint essence (basically the muffin cream icing recipe!) and found myself thinking that i'd happily live off that as my comfort food in the future. and that gives me a huge sense of relief, knowing i'll be able to deal with the tough times when they appear.
ok my dear, off my soapbox. i just hate to see you struggling to stay on track, and feeling bad whenever you cheat. listen to mama P - it's how much fun you have along the way that matters!
huge hug,
Cx

Josephs Pita Bread - 6 Pack | Low Carb Megastore
It only has 4g of carbs and from doing my research, you have to consume less than 30g of carbs per day to lose weight.
If I eat it, I have one as a lunch (sandwich) or dinner (kebab).
Bought some flatbreads too, which I can use to make 'pizza'.

Not bad actually.
They taste like bread, just thinner than the normal pittas.
You don't feel too full by eating just one and it is bigger than the Nandos pitta (with plenty space for filling).
