SUCH A BAD WEEK

[Susie58]

Well I don't know what is wrong with me this week. I have been going full out at sabotaging myself with just 3 weeks to go till holidays. I have been binge eating & feeling totally at a loss as to why. Very angry with myself & feeling so fed up now. I'm not even going to weigh myself this Sunday as i really don't want to know how much I have put on. I'm now out of ketosis because I am feeling hungry & finding it difficult to drink enough water. Think I need to lock myself up for a while & give someone the key!!!

Oh bless you Susie. You have been doing so well up to now.

I am rubbish at offering words of wisdom so hopefully someone with plenty will post after me! However I think you are having a wobble as you have done so well and four weeks or so is a long time to be TS. Can you identify what has triggered this binging - was it going out with friends or the "Easter Bunny"?

Draw a line under this week and start 100% from waking up tomorrow morning. Think about your reasons for starting Exante and how focused you were when you did. Think you have a holiday coming up in a few weeks, and you will enjoy it so much more being in control and having lost a bit more weight?

If I was in your shoes and didn't get back on the Exante wagon tomorrow I would convince myself to just have the weekend off and start fresh on Monday......and for me Monday would probably never come.

It's a hard diet to cope with and we all have our wobbles. This forum if great so keep posting and reading stuff on here - if anything it makes you realvise that fyou dare not alone in finding it blooming hard!

Take care. Big hugs x

How are you today Susie?? X

Hi Annie. Thanks for the encouragement. Going out for dinner with my Dad & family seemed to be the breaking point this week. Just couldn't disappoint my dad as he was so looking forward to taking us out. I've not felt like eating today but thats because I have a migraine lol. I will use this as a means to getting back on the diet as I'm hoping the hunger pangs wont be back tomorrow. Our tickets have arrived today & having them in my hands has given me a bit more incentive to try & get a stone of by the 7th may. If i'm good I might just make it, I know once I'm back in ketosis it will be fine. This has shown me though that even with good intentions its so hard to keep on track once the taste buds get going by eating food!!. You have done so well, have you managed to stay TS all the way?

Migraine, ouch. Know exactly how you are feeling as I get them at times.

Stick that tickets on your fridge door as a constant reminder!

Have I stayed TS all the way? I did for the first eight weeks or so but was a total recluse and was starting to miss going out with my hubby or friends. I don't have a WS week, I just enjoy a meal when away or out but stick to a prawn or tuna salad if I go out. I was out last night and again tonight and stuck to salads. I find this works for me and I look forward to getting out and having something. Will now be TS til friends wedding next Saturday, when hopefully salad will be on the menu again. Who knew a salad could be soooooo exciting and tasty!

Hope you feel better by tomorrow. X

You must be very determined Annie. I did start of ok with sticking to low carb food when out socialising but somehow found myself being tempted more & more by carbs. Anyway I have weighed myself a day early as I really need to get back on track. I have put on 4lb!!. Not surprised by that. Today is the start of a new phase & hopefully better self control. Hope you have a great time at the wedding. I take it you have a new outtfit x

 

[handbag-annie]

That 4lbs will come off in double quick time once you are back on track.

Sadly, because I have sooooo much weight to lose, I have to stay focused, and now I am reaping the rewards for my effort, I am determined no to bugger it up!

Put on my favourite jacket to get out shopping with friends today. Had it over two years and never zipped up. Looked fab on.......and yes it zipped up with lots of room - eek!

Glad your feeling better today. Keep me posted. Right off out AGAIN tonight - gonna be hard as its our favourite Italian. It is gonna be sooo hard sticking to salad and not the creamy pasta with peas!!!
