Lol slimming chocolate - serious I got junk mail selling just that! Apparently it tasted just like normal chocolate but the more you ate the more you lost. It had the obligatory picture of a woman who had lost 6 stone in 3 weeks in the literature! All she had done was gorge on the slimming chocolate.
It was probably full of laxatives or something lol. No I didn't buy it!

I promise it wasn't me who sent you this email LOL 
Or I could have done, given that I am a sleepwalker I must have done something last night, because I can't find my remote control!!! I know it sounds weird, but I sometimes do things like that However I do not eat while sleeping and stay in my flat Now you are really going to think that I a weirdo
I can't believe Heath Ledger is dead :cry: He was one of my huge (if not my biggest) crushes when I was a teenager (and even after, hehe) so it is sad to see him go like this
Good day at work, but I was starving at lunchtime. I had to run around this morning and exercising made me hungry!!!!
I hope you all had a nice day too. I can't wait for the weekend!

:sign0009::sign0163::lost:
I am obsessed with my scales and go on them on average 10 times a day:sign0007:. I tried to put them in my car and even that didn't work.:argh:. I am addicted, I needsiholog:.
And now I am depressed because I haven't lost anything. WI is on Sat and I am not even impatient. I really don't look forward to it and I am feeling totally dispirited.

Aww hugs Ellie.
I know it is so so easy to get disheartened - but look at it like this - you have lost 9.5lbs in your first week. A lot of people are lucky to shift that in a month. Could it be time of the month/constipation slowing your loss down? Have you definitely not cheated? Are you using different scales to measure your losses? The ones you are using now might weigh you heavier.
If you stick to eating right the weight can't fail to come off and sometimes we lose more weight than others. Could be you have a nice big loss next week.
Either way Ellie you have already lost close on 10lbs, and you have a nice holiday in August to look forward to. Don't give up now and regret it when you go clothes shopping for Tahiti and you can't buy any clothes you really like.

Thank you Spannerpan for your lovely encouraging message. Don't worry, I won't give up, I am far too stubborn for that. And I don't have the choice, I have to lose weight.
I haven't cheated at all, this is why it is so annoying. I know my 1st week was amazing, I am just a spoilt brat and I want everything quickly.
I am definitely very constipated. I went to the pharmacy today and was given a mild medication. I will tell you if it works.
A bit of weight off is so good for the mind. I guess I have to find satisfaction in something else: better skin, etc.
Thanks again.

Oh Ellie - if you are constipated that will be it. Take the meds you got off the pharmacist and it will be gone by WI on Sat! Bet you lose a couple of pounds then.

You probably have lost but its the constant weighing thats making you think you havent. Seriously if youre not doing a VLCD you need to get rid of the scales. I gave mine to my parents & I go to their house for my weigh in. I checked the scales last week (when I shouldnt have) and it said I had gained half a pound, when in actual fact when I had my wi I had lost 3lbs.
Your weight can fluctuate SO much during the day and from day to day you NEED, for your own sanity, to get rid of the scales *HUGS*

You are right starlight, I do have to get rid of them in one way or another. I will try to leave them in the car again, and see if I can control myself better. Unfortunately, I don't have any family around, so I cannot ask anybody to keep the blooming things!
:argh: Just discovered the medicine given to me by the pharmacist is full of sugar!!! It is actually sugar molecules (doing something in my bowel apparently). And there was me thinking it was something to with milk (don't know why), despite the very sugary taste... I know I should have told the pharmacist I was trying to eat healthily and reduce my sugar intake, but have you ever tried discussing your personal life at the counter of a Sainsbury's pharmacy, next to the butcher stand? I will go back tomorrow and ask for something more suited.
I don't know what is wrong with me tonight. I am really not my usual happy self

Hi Ellie
I would have thought a bit of sugar won't harm you as you are not on a VLCD. Presumably with medicine it is only a teaspoon or so? How much sugar can there be in that much?

OOOh, starlight, brilliant idea, thanks!
I am much better now. I realised how ridiculous I was to worry about something like that when people die of hunger every minute. My weight will go when my body is ready, that's all.
The medicine is 3 tims 3 spoonfuls, and is pure suger! I am not on a VLCD, but I try to get rid of my sugar addiction (I really was addicted) and I would rather not tempt fate I went back to see the pharmacist and he said that indeed I should have told him, because it may not be the best medicine Now I have another one
Speak to you later.

Not really, because I know that I will be disappointed, ut as I said, I am not a child anymore So I have to see the positive about my situation: I haven't eaten any junk food in two weeks!!!!! I will of course tell you the result of my WI, but don't expect much. I hope my fat % will go down as well, as it is really the most important thing right now.
When is your WI spannerpan?
