sorry you're feeling like this.
You've had a crap day, eaten crap and feeling crap. Dont be so hard on yourself. You know what you have to do to lose weight. Do you want me to put together some sample days for you to follow? I find it helps more if I plan the meals I'm having for the week, before I go shopping. Then I only need to buy what I havent got. Have you got a slow cooker? There are loads of things you could prep the night before, throw in the slow cooker before you go to work and leave it on ready for when you get home. Then you need to use oil, you don't need to worry about what to cook, eliminating the risk of snacking before tea.
I've got a SW book here with some recipes in it. Called one pot wonders. I could list the recipe titles and you can chose which ones you like and I can type them out for you.
I know I've said it before, but giving yourself a cut off time in the evening helps alot. You could do 7 o'clock and if you get hungry just drink water or have a cuppa. I'm way huger than you but ive not shrivelled up of starvation yet despite needing more calories.
I really don't want you to give up Teri. I know how much you want this. Try to think of the future, you've lost all your weight, you look even more fab than you do now and you are so very proud of what you achieved. Sacrificing chocolate and crisps and other bad foods for a year is nothing. If it means you get to look how you've always wanted then it's not much to give up.
There's nothing I'd love more than to scoff pringles, wolf down a Chinese or sit and devour 12 inches of dairy milk. But I know if I do I won't lose any weight
and losing weight gives me more of a buzz than food does.
Maybe limit yourself to one thing like that a day. Buy a pack of flakes or multi pack of crisps or mini pizzas etc for the week and make it last. You'll appreciate it more if you have it less.
I bought myself a 300g bag of pink porky pigs (sweets) from eBay and I have maybe 3 or 4 a day, and they are lasting ages. Something small to make me feel like I'm not missing out, goes a long way.
You are doing a fantastic thing, being a working mum with 2 kids under 3. You're floorboards have been ripped up today, you've just moved house, no wonder you're feeling the strain.
Have a rethink of your goals on the weekend and try planning your meals for the week and see how you get on. I'm behind you on this and so is Cas I'm sure.
Try not to let emotions get in the way of things. Your body will fight you, it wants to stay overweight so it doesn't have to exert itself to stay alive. But you gotta teach it to behave the way you want.
You can do this!!
