Why did I think changing to weighing on a Monday morning was a good idea???? Today has been a HUGE struggle to keep it good for an UD because weigh in tomorrow was on my mind....constantly been fighting the little voice in my head telling me what does it matter? Who's going to know if I eat some more? Let's give up dieting all together, get fatter and fatter and roll about on my new couch and bed eating cake till they have to winch me out the house!!!!!!:devilangel: I've NEVER felt like this before since starting fasting. Will weigh in tomorrow and then switch it back to a Saturday morning. Don't want every weekend turning grumpy because of weigh in looming. Lesson learned...don't mess with what works :ashamed0005:

Good on u for changing ur WI day - ur doing so well!
I've come to the painful conclusion that to successfully lose weight I need to accept that what goes on in my head rules what goes into my mouth!

I think I'm the same. Felt deprived all weekend due to a change in my normal fasting routine/ weighing day....and today I have spectacularly fallen off the wagon!
Weigh in went well....but now my willpower has left the building on what was supposed to be a DD
A loss of 2.6lbs this week......probably going to be wiped out on next weigh in by completely failing today. I reckon I've had a good 2000 calories already, including half a block of cheese while standing at the fridge trying to work out what to have for lunch. I'm in a foul mood too. Oh the joys of being a weak emotional eater
Haven't even done any work today so that is putting me behind for the week already. Hoping that going out for a walk will shake some sense into me....at least I'll be away from the fridge for a couple of hours!

Oh hell - if only we cd take a pill to send the munchies away - yes perhaps a good walk wd do it?? I think I'll have to either do a dvd or go for a walk but it's really windy here and I'm a wimp!! Hope u get back on track - surely if u do u won't wreck ur next WI? U've got time to get claw that back haven't u?
I haven't eaten anything today cos I only want the piece (or all) of the cooked belly pork with crackling I stupidly bought yest at the deli - hubby loves it - I had a tiny bit and he had a smaller bit than me cos he wasn't hungry (why doesn't my brain tell me I'm full?) so I've put it in the freezer now - next stop the bin if I can't get it off my mind!! Good luck and get out for that walk or something!!

At a conservative estimate I've eaten around 5000 calories today...instead of the 500 I should have. And if anyone asked me why all I could say was I felt like it. It's probably been brewing for the past few weeks. I wish I could run away from my life at times....but instead I eat. Tonight I really wish I was someone else.

So Ali it was something you needed at the time, we've all done it, draw that line and get on with it. There are worse things you could have done!

Hey come one - no-one's died! I'm not being glib - we've all done that and eaten more and over a longer time - that's why we're all here I guess?
I've been wondering if it's related to ur ex - hope that's not too invasive of ur privacy - u have done so well - but u've gone thro' a lot lately - great weight loss for one thing - u've applied for a job - changing the flat around - all big things in anyone's life.
I'd ask u to be kinder to u - what wd u be saying to us if the roles were reversed? Keep posting - unless that becomes a chore - we're all here for u - take care of u.

I had a really bad day yesterday. Being honest having a complete blow out doesn't bother me that much. I'm not one of these people who see it as the end of the world and throw a major strop. A figure on a scale isn't going to dictate my life or what I do and I know that all my problems won't suddenly disappear if I get to target....I'll just be a healthy weight dealing with them!! Fasted today and have adjusted calories to compensate for yesterday for rest of week to hopefully get me at least a maintain. What annoyed me was the fact I always turn to food even though it isn't going to help. I've a lot of things going on under the surface that are causing me stress (ex, family etc) and I like the fact I can be in control of one thing at the minute and that's losing weight. Sorry if it came across that I was flipping out about eating too much...not the case. I don't often let things get to me and have a bad day but yesterday was one. I think I'm good at being supportive to others when they are struggling but find it difficult to cope with when it's me.

Brilliant attitude to have. Ali. Isn't it funny how we can be so good for other people and not ourselves?

Sounds like you are a carer and a coper but don't have much left for you. I can empathise with that. Be kind to yourself cos you really have done fantastically and are doing anyway regardless of weight loss, and a blip now and then won't hurt I think we all need a blast out food wise now and then xx

Like Kitty I love ur attitude - and I think a lot of women wd relate to ur caring for others whilst neglecting their own needs!
Reg turning to food for emotional reasons - there's a good (but 1 hour long video) explaining that - on the v well known site which shares footage across the world - it's called the Pleasure Trap and the subscriber is vshvideo - if u have an hour to spare???

Did a 2nd DD yesterday. Not really intentional as I don't do 2 in a row but had a splitting sore head which was making me feel queasy so decided to take advantage of it and turn it to good use by fasting. UD today and despite being a pig on Monday not going to cut my calories too much, will have around 2000. So my calories for the five days between my 2 weigh ins will be 8500 a daily average of 1700. My maintenance calories are around 2100/2200 so I should get a teeny loss on Saturday...but we all know bodies don't always work like that so would be happy with a maintain. Still have sore head but thankfully not queasy today! Will update with food later.

I think you can cut yourself some slack at the moment Ali, you have done amazingly well despite what you have going on. Just when I was clicking on your thread I was thinking how the number in the title just keeps on going up and up
Thank you x I find it hard to be kind to myself...a negative habit I hope to break!!
So today's UD food
Breakfast - All bran, banana, skimmed milk
Lunch - Homemade vegetable and bean soup
2 seeded deli sub rolls with ham, tomato, cheese and pickle
Dinner - Pork chop done with mustard and rosemary, new potatoes, carrots and broccoli
Snacks - 2 mini babybel lights
M&S sushi snack pack
This was my best UD I think in a while. Less rubbish and no chocolate
I'm now used to the all bran and quite happy eating it but wish bran flakes had the same proportion of fibre per serving as I still prefer them. Maybe if I up my fruit and veg I could go back to bran flakes...there is far less chewing in them first thing of a morning.

Bran flakes are lovely! But All Bran, hmmm, not so keen.

Spoke to my mum this morning and she asked (sarcastically!) how my "diet" was going and I answered that I'd now lost over 3 stone to which she replied..."that's nothing to be proud of you shouldn't have let yourself get so fat in the first place".....hmmm....mother's day should be fun on Sunday....
