Sounds like a good day! I do my nails in the evenings too and is really helps avoiding the kitchen! Mind you I have noticed the hunger pangs feelings of deprivation have subsided considerably either that or I am more able to control those urges. I don't think I will ever be completely free of urges to eat or binge though. Something I will have to work on forever!
feeling lighter and on track today i havent had a sneaky weigh in but i have a good feeling about my weigh in!! which btw is now tomorrow not today so another day to lose
going gym tonight for a body balance class which i am looking forward to!! sometimes i feel really out of place when i go and all the girls are so stick thin and perfect unlike me whose curves overspill and has two left feet making it hard to balance but to be fair i enjoy the exercise so i have decided tune out of all my negative emotions and concentrate on bettering myself to something i am happy with!!
so far today:
about a ltr of green tea
3/4 litre of water
1 choc tetra pack for breakfast
1 apple and cinamon porridge for lunch
will have a hot cappucino shake when i get home at 5 - probably only half!!
omlette and salad at about 6.30 for dinner with my boys!!
Body balance at 8.15
and the other half of my shake after my class!!

Balance was fun last night i found it easier than normal, maybe as i'm lighter??

but i wont give in to you you evil sdhksjfgsh!!!!You're doing well!! All that stuff will be there when you are at goal! Lots more birthdays and cakes etc and no doubt more food for the festive season! Keep away from it if you want to lose weight. Once you are at goal yes you can have a small slice of cake no problem - just not every day. Actually you could have it every day in fact have what you fancy ..........BUT if you do you will regain (like I did!) and probably regret it! (Thought it was worth putting it bluntly in black and white to help you keep on track! x
Thx Kira no way like the blunt way to keep a girl on the straight and narrow!! i like the idea of the 3 bite rule that after 3 bites of something rich or calorific i would stop!! lets see! in practice it probably wont work as i will want to have 3 gigantic mouthfuls!! lol!! i just need to wean myself off all the crap!! i'm not a chips burger and pizza person but i luurvveee chocolate!!
Ok now I feel grumpier :cry: So I had my weigh in and sts :sigh: so let's give this some thought in hindsight:
i haven't strictly speaking solidly stuck to the plan as much as I could have, some carbs here or there appear to snuck in!
Im now 4 weeks into this and I really should no better. I have ate weeks to go before I move onto the refeed programme and go to India so plan of action:
1.socialising will only happen in places I know I can stick to my plan
2. When I am out I will be harder on myself and more disciplined
3. Keep reminding myself why I am doing this
4. Exercise everyday
5. Trust myself around food! Just cuz no one see me eat that smarty doesn't mean I didn't eat it! I'm only letting myself done by cheating
ok I'm done having words with myself! Onwards and downwards as they say!
one of the regular guys at the gym who paid me a compliment saying I'm looking good whatever I'm doing is clearly working so that's good I guess at least someone has noticed

feeling positively on track today!! this place is my total solace at the moment where i can face my naked truth and not feel judged by anyone!
Yesterday was the first out of a few where i was totally honest and faithful to my diet!! and i now need to see myself through the next 8 weeks with the same notion!!
Plan for today:
Had a choc tetra for breaky
have brought apple and cinamon porridge for lunch
will have a cappucino shake with coffee when i get home at around 5.30ish
Body Balance class at 7.30 today
am supposed to be meeting my cousins at my brothers house later in the evening so will ask him to make me some scrambled eggs!
i have a tough day tomorrow, i am at a work xmas event in the morning and i am in charge of decorating cupcakes with kids!! that will be fun but a true test of the will power!! will take a tetra and maybe even a bar with me!!
time to focus focus!!

Simmy it's good you have analysed what bits and pieces have been creeping in and great it is a STS. If you stick 100% over the next 8 weeks you could potentially lose 2 stones or near enough.....so think carefully how you will handle social events. If you are exercising on SS you could be slowing down your loss but I have to say I did both when I first did CD in 2008 and it didn't appear to affect my losses. It's just the calories are so low on CD when you exercise you need more it can be counterproductive with such low calories so be careful. Do some planning (along with excel spreasheet yup! I'm making reference to Tizzy's spreadsheet!) for how you will handle social events what foods could you eat that wouldn't affect ketosis and how could you avoid eating without attracting attention to yourself etc. Plan, plan plan for social events, moments of weakenss from stress, feelings of deprivation all your emotions. Look at distraction techniques for when it really gets so hard you feel like eating cardboard for something to chew. You'll do this.
Thanks Kira for all of that!! what sort of exercise did you do?? my CDC told me to work within a certain heart rate range and the week that i did that i had a 4lb loss! its basically working out to a pretty low intensity no weights above the head, low weights but very high repitions to get keep the heart rate moderate to high.
social events is where i need to discipline myself the most and simply stay away from anything with a gram of carb in it!! last week i went harvester and munched on crap from the salad bar - i could have avoided all that and just had the chicken but oh no the b!tch temptation won that round!! and again she won the next round out my sons cricket club where i ended up with half packet of crisps and slice of pizza in my gob!!
i feel disappointed even writing it tbh!! :cry:but the main thing i guess is that i have identified my areas of fault and acknowledged that i need to work on it!! i have ruled the last week out as an "experimental" one and have learnt i cant cheat on this! i'm not doing myself any favours and i want to be 2 stone in 8 weeks! yes i want it more than food!! i refuse to be the girl who needs XXL in all the suits and saree blouses in india!!

I did treadmill and crosstrainer and rowing machine with weights for arms and legs. I thought the exercise may have given you STS I'd forgotten the Harvester incident! The way to look and/or deal with eating anything off plan is not to see it has a cheat or failure. See it has "I chose to eat that, drink that fine" and then be mindful of getting straight back on track and not an excuse to then eat even more food. This is how I dealt with doing vlcd this time around as I have a few social events during both September and October whereby I planned mentally how I was going to deal with a situation. Those times off plan I refused to allow my brain to think I had cheated or failed otherwise it would have led to my old habit of "Oh! I f***d up so I have failed and I need to feel the comfort of my food" that was the vicious circle I was in. It really is a mental change that needs to be addressed as our weightloss and subsequent maintenance journeys continue. So if you do chose or decide to eat off plan make a sensible choice ifyou can, if you happened not to don't eat more stop and continue to keep on plan. That approach I am finding is working. It's weight control as opposed to weightloss but the result is the same weight loss. So sorry I can't do paragraphs as my keyboard return key doesn't work on minis for some reason?!
Thx kira I think that's what I need to do! Im supposed to go out with my bro tomorrow but have decided not to! My brother is a health freak cuz of his diabetes and thinks this is all a fad! That's what he told my sister in law when she said she wanted to do it! He will go crazy mad guy at me if he finds out about me doing Cambridge
You would think he would understand being insulin dependant himself but then he has never had weight issues either! So the "no baby sitter" excuse has kicked in to save me from a night out of drinking and eating!

Sounds harsh but use any tactics you can to stick to plan . Only my husband knows I did vlcd and I am re-feeding. Kids sort of know mummy has soup! Hubbie is very supportive so it's a bonus. He's very pragmatic. I won't be doing vlcd forever and my lounge term health physical and mental is important.
I found the key ismto protect yourself from self sabotage and sabotage from others even if it's inadvertent. Interesting how people comment on the diet plan one is on but never voice opinions about one being fat and eating wrongs things. Remember you will socialise again and eat again but you will eat I a controlled way becaus you will be maintaining. You wan to go to India and by non xxl side clothes and you can do that! There are some fab Indian clothe suit there right now and I'm sooo back into them.

There you are! Hope you are doing ok? Hope interesting few days didn't involve food? I sabotaged myself last night by caving into an urge to binge which I haven't done for months. So refocused and re-reading old journals because I am not regaining the weight I have lost to date and I will reach goal. If those days involved food get straight back on to plan!! x
