I sent my scales back and will be using the ones I already have (I checked them all over the house on the board and they showed the same weight as the new ones) so that will be a bit of money back in my account.
We rescued a stray cat yesterday, then found the owner who didn't want him back so we now have him. Had him neutered and chipped this morning and he has to stay in for a few weeks. He's hiding under a bookcase at the moment bless him
Feeling so tired today-think I will have an early night.

Well after my good intentions I crashed and burned. I had a fibro flare up and basically cheated for 2 weeks. Idiot me LOL
I am back on it now though-this is day 3 again and I've been 100% so far. Honestly I am kicking myself for wasting another 2 weeks but at least I haven't given up I guess. I decided to try something different and not weigh myself until Sunday to see if that keeps me more motivated. I've always been a daily weigher but the minute the scales don't move for a few days I get discouraged.
I've also decided to not buy any of the snack bars this time round...they are too nice and I can easily eat 4 at once and that then makes me want to eat more. So I figured best to leave those alone for now. The crisps (on plan from New You) don't seem to have the same effect so I can keep having those. The meal bars also don't have that effect on me. The wafer bars are just so yummy. What I will do is introduce those in 12 weeks' time when I have my 2 weeks break-I decided for the break to have an extra pack and snack rather than adding in food. I really want to be a lot smaller by Christmas for once.
I'm trying not to look too far ahead this time. My first goal is to lose a stone and my reward will be ...probably something kpop related I am currently obsessed with this song so will probably buy the album that it's from.
It's struck me that I've spent the vast majority of my life obese. I really don't even remember what it feels like to be slim. I was a size 12 before I went to uni and I weighed 13stone so I have no idea what size I will actually be when I get to goal weight. I look at the photo of me when I was 16 and can't picture being that size. This is me at my smallest (ignore the bad hair and glasses)
Back then I thought I was fat and so did my mum who was always telling me off for eating too much. So when i went to uni I ate whatever I wanted whenever I wanted and gained weight very quickly. By the time I was 21 I was a size 20 and over 17 stone. I've been trying to lose weight ever since but all that's happened is I lose some and then gain back more so I've had enough. I will be 50 next year and I do not want to be this size then. I'm just so sick of it. I have wasted all my life being fat and I am done with it.

Thank you...that helps a lot.
Thought of the day
If we cheat, what matters is what we do the next day...do we continue on our path of self destruction or do we forget about it and carry on afresh on plan? I've done it...cheated and then carried on stuffing my face for 2 weeks and it just wasn't worth it. I want to lose weight more than I want to eat...after all, the food will still be there when I finish the diet...
Yesterday was completed successfully 100%. Today is also going well-I'm about to have my first shake and have had 2 litres of water so far. Feeling really good about myself today.

hey! Good luck on your journey! Previously I've lost 5 stone... Then put more back on! But not this time! Let's do it!
Since restarting I've lost 7 stone (as of today!) Still a way to go but feeling good! I'm doing lighter life and on the total plan, it works well for me. What diet are you following?

Well...shakes just weren't working for me. I would start each day well but then fail later on in the day. I think the stress and of lockdown and being on my own with the kids finally caught up with me, and as I don't drink I was looking for comfort in food. Stupid idea...
I decided to have a break from it all and went crazy for 2 weeks and then realised I would just gain loads if I did that so I decided to try something new and do Weight watchers. I've not tried it before. So far I am liking it so my plan is to do it until I get frustrated with the slower weight losses and then switch to shakes for 2 weeks to a month and then switch back again. That way I will know it's only for a limited amount of time. It may work it may not but we shall see. My first WW weigh in is on Wednesday but I got my period today so it won't be a big loss as I always retain water.
I've started swimming every day...my joints and back can't cope with anything else right now and I've always liked swimming. My sister who was always bigger than me, has lost some weight and I refuse to be bigger than her.
I'm so frustrated with myself as I could have been 3 stone lighter by now, but it is what it is...

Well that didn't last long. I sprained my ankle last week and used that as an excuse to stuff my face basically. Back on it as of today but doing shakes as per doctor's orders as my blood pressure is not behaving and I can't have any more medication for it. So here we go again.I'm so sick of being on this yoyo with my weight.

Thanks-it's much better than it was but it's been 2 weeks and it's still painful to walk so I hope it passes soon,
