*Shrinklies**The Everything August Challenge*

[fattyfattybumtum]

Shanny hun...

"The only real failure in life is the failure to try."
​

Forget about what youve ate and how much you might have put on. Pls call your cdc...im sure she'll understand. Get back on the wagon NOW! Theres still plenty of time to lose the 7lbs you wanna. Youve done it in the past and you can do it again.​

There are only 2 choices... either stress on whats happened, get depressed, eat and further put on lbs or look at it as an experience and learn from it by sticking to cd 100%, losing lbs and being happy.​

You can do it girl... give it a chance, another try Big hugs. xxx​

God! I had an email from my aunt in France. It's just awful. She's only 52yrs old and been battling cancer for nearly 3 years. She's now back in her home with 24hour care and has refused more treatment. The cancer has spread everywhere but she still has her mind. Well, I received an email from her earlier saying all this and more and my god it's so upsetting. I wrote an email back with tears streaming down my face. The thing is my Mum, her sister, died at the same age as she's about to, of cancer, except my Mum's mind was mush in the end. I'm so upset. Mum passed away 5 years ago but it's raw. Anyway I'm off to the gym now to do 30 mins of the treadmil and hopefully I'll feel a bit better after that x

Gonna catch up on posts when i'm back and will def be on here x

Sunshine, life,at time stinks, sending hugs, be strong and keep in touch with her.I know what you mean when you say its raw, sometimes it always is.

 

[*Shanny*]

"Ohh sunshine big hugs hun" Are you able to ring France and speak to her?? x

 

[fattyfattybumtum]

Sunshine babe...really wish i could give you a big hug right now. Life is so not fair at times... but nevertheless goes on and we have to live it. Im so sorry you had to go through what you did 5yrs ago and now again. Big hugs sweetheart. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Shanny, to be honest if you really wanna lose the 7lbs in 3wks i think you should do at least 1 wk on ss and then rest either on ss+ or 810. Just stay positive and remember if you do decide on ss it will only be for a wk which you might find easier knowing youll be going up the plans very soon. If you stick to ss 100% and drink loads i bet you could easily lose at least 4-5lbs in a wk and then youll only have another 2-3lbs to lose in 2wks....less pressure???

 

[Dione]

Called for a doc app this morn but was told only swine flu patients are being seen at the moment and i should call back next wk... so guess will have to wait till then. [/COLOR]


Sorry to hear you couldnt get an appointment at the Dr's. Hope you are feeling alot better xx

 

[Dione]

Sunshine
I am sosorry to hear about your aunt it must be so difficult for you and bring back raw memories. I am sending you HUGE ((((((HUGS))))))

Shanny
I know how you feel but 1lb on is nothing, honestly 1 week on SS and you'll lose 4 times the amount

FFTB

You sound so much happier. I am so glad. I was thinking about you today adn wished i couldve gave you a hug ((HUG)))

Well today i have stuck to ss 100% whoopwhoop andi have drank 3 litres of water (1st time in 3 days) Ive only managed 2 litres a day this week

I am dreading my WI tomorrow as i havent had anywhere near enough water and i know i am goign to beat myself up if its a small loss

I have an event to attend tomorrow (leavers party) and i am really worried. Everyone is sitting down for a meal and then out on the town for drinks. Its 2 people who i really care about that is leaving my office so i cant miss it but i am afraid of giving in to temptation. I cant sit there and watch everyone eat ???
Advice PPPPLllleeaassee xxxx

 

[merriefach]

Yes you can talk drink lots of water and think of what goes on in a kitchen that you cant see!

 

[Dione]

Lets be honest its not as easy as that is it xx

 

[Sunshine Singer]

Thanks everyone and sorry for the hurried outburst..... oh was rushing me out the door as he's up for work at 4am and wanted to get to the gym asap.

Yea it's pretty crap and yes I will talk to my aunt very soon but i'll need to make it morning. She's so dosed up (as you are at the end of your life in this situation) she's sleeping lots so hopefully I'll catch her.

The reason I posted it here and on my diary was because at that moment I wanted to eat a load of comfort food which of course wouldn't have helped in any way. So I posted here, went to the gym,feel a tad better, still want to eat a load of rubbish but I won't. lol too tired to go and get it. At least with the gym, I'm so shattered after that i sleep well.

Anyway thanks again, I'm fine and we need to stay focused and positive. Shanny please don't worry about your blip hun. It's done and you've had good advice so far on here. the great thing about CDC's is that they've either been through the same as us or are going through it themseleves. No-one is perfect and she'll really understand. So no more tears just get back on track and think of how far you've come and what you've already acheived. Sending hugs x

 

[Sunshine Singer]

Dione,

You could do ss+ for the day. Make sure you have loads and loads of water and a CD meal before you go. Then order a plain chicken breast and green salad or veg. You can adjust any meal on the menu to suit you, just ask. You'll stay in ketosis and won't do damage. Don't drink alcohol tho as it's really dangerous on CD xxx hope this helps

 

[Dione]

You wont blieve how much youve helped sunshine. i have been so worried about it I wont drink as im driving. It was the food that i was scared about.

Why is drinking dangerous? xx

 

[Sunshine Singer]

Brilliant! Em.....can't remember why it's dangerous but being told that was enough to keep me away from alcohol. Probably to do with such low calories. Also, being drunk would be harder to stay on track food wise. Sometimes you have to have days where you move up a plan to suit your needs. It's not ideal and we shouldn't make a habbit of it but if it means keeping us on track and still having a life then it's worth it. Also if you know where you're going, I would look up the menu online so you know in advance what you'll have. Then you will be really prepared on the night and won't need to look at the menu and get tempted. I actually took a menu to my CDC at the start to ask her what the best options were for me. I learnt so much from that x

 

[Dione]

Thats a brilliant idea. i might try that and take it with me

Thanks sunshine.

Nervous about my WI tomorrow. Is it true that if you dont have enough water you wont lose as much weight or is that a myth? xx

 

[Sunshine Singer]

You need at least 2.25litres a day on CD. Off CD we need 1.5ltrs a day( if you exercsie you need more) but because the CD meals are so packed with nutrients and all that we need, they are really concentrated so you need to dilute them. I have better losses when I up my water to 4 litrs but finding that tough at the moment and only getting through 2! When i was having shakes I always made them with 1 pint of water so i was taking in more throughout the day plus I used to have loads of mint tea. It's good to flush out your system too x

 

[Sunshine Singer]

Don't be nervous hun about your wi. No point in that at all. Think about your monthly losses tho not weekly. You're going the right direction and thats the important thing. Don't get bogged down with the scales. Just enjoy it x

 

[Dione]

I know, it doesnt stop you feeling low though does it lol. I am thinking positive (well trying)
I think its because i had a big loss on the 1st week so i am expecting too much now. I have set my standards too high.
Right im not gonna moan anymore. The fact is my weightis going down and that is all that matter

 

[Sunshine Singer]

Yep it's the best way. You had a fab loss week one. You'll do fab. Dont' forget to update us after xxxxxxxxx
