Hi Lara We used to chat on here back in the day and I have sadly found myself back in need of Minis. Sorry to hear of all your struggles, I totally get it! I think I have ballooned up to about 11st (far too scared to weight myself officially as I think it will send me into a mad depression) and long for the days I was moaning about being over the 9st7 mark!!! I need to refocus, get back on Slim and Save and get this weight off. Food is such a comfort to me though that I dont know what I'll do with myself without my favourite treats. Hope you are well B
Hello yes I remember. I totally know how you feel. Maybe it's best two weigh in after a week or so back on track. I waited two weeks to weigh in when I last did a vlcd.
I am so embarrassed to be back and bingeing again. Things were good but my binges over took and every day became my last day before I diet which just made me eat like crazy. I did it again today :-( I have to get fit ASAP I'm doing an endurance race in just over two months. And more than that I feel awful doing what I'm doing. I hate how I have lost control and motivation.
Good news is I have lots of vlcd packs and I want to use them and exercise to get away from food again - and this time read more around mindfulness which is what was really helping me about 2 months ago. Obviously going away for a month helped loads too as I was out f my normal routine. Being back home I find it so so hard not to binge. I'm so upset about it and that just makes it worse. I think I need to work from home less too as those are the times im alone with food and I eat like crazy.
So frustrated with myself. I want to enjoy my life arghhhhh. Everything is great except this food issue.
I have work drinks tomorrow so will not eat I'll just drink but from Friday I will vlcd and exercise. On days I want to go out and drink I will do I'll just eat more and exercise or just have one or two drinks.
Ok typing out that plan feels better.
I'm going to do a 3 week plan as a step 1. The plan is:
Exercise 4-5 hours per week (running or bootcamp classes)
Food: exante food packs, protein shakes, low carb, protein, alcohol when have to - no more than once a week.
Tomorrow is day 1 of 21. After 21 days I will weigh in and I hope to be about 9st7 but that's probably too wishful. I can do this I have lost my self belief I have to do this. Anyone who wants to join me please do. Sorry I've been AWOL :-(
