Have been a bit AWOL the last few days. The move is really catching up with me! Who would've thought you accumulate so much stuff! I always thought I was very neat, tidy and fairly minimalist but I've managed to fill a small skip with junk!

Needless to say food has gone out of the window - I've literally been grabbing convenience foods when I can. Am expecting a gain on Thursday - despite it being my birthday I am going to group and I am staying to IT.
I'm really losing my motivation at the mo. I was so focused when I started SW and for the last four weeks I have just been playing around with the plan. I start the day with the best intentions but never seem to be able to stick to it. Need to find mojo again or I really fear that I'll start regaining all I lost and will be back to square one.

Last day of the move tomorrow - have hired a van and all the big things are being moved so it will be our first night in the new house tomorrow. Am planning on doing a SW shop tomorrow/Wed and try to get back on plan.

Any advice on doing so would be appreciated as always! X
 
Glad your getting there with the move. They say gettin married and moving house are the two most stressful things to get through.

Think of the positives you was so strong after your crash and you stuck to plan like glue. If that was me I would of gone of the rails. As for the move I can't imagine anyone been able to follow sw whilst moving. Your gains aren't big Hun so if ya do I'm sure you'll shift it the following week.

I can't give ya much advice for getting back on plan as I'm rubbish at it myself lol. Once your in the house and done a food shop, see it as a new beginning . You'll feel so settled and much more positive once your in your new house. Xx
 
Hello chick let me give you much needed (((hugs))) . Stress doesnt even begin to cover it lol I know exactly what your going through. We moved into our house 3 years ago, we moved from a 3 bedroom terraced into a 3 story town house there was myself, my OH and son. We moved in on the Friday and there were boxes everywhere and I mean everywhere your right about accumulating rubbish. Then the following Friday my Daughter and her Fiance (now husband) moved in with us supposedly to save money for their wedding. Needless to say it was chaos as we hadnt even unpacked our stuff and then there was theirs on top.

So I have every sympathy with you, I do keep repeating myself and you must get sick of it lol but all I can suggest is 1 day at a time, you are doing your shopping tomorrow, try not to buy anything that isnt SW friendly I know thats hard with a family. Try to plan as best you can your meals the day before ive done mine for the full week and will stick to it. Next ........... dont stress. As kel says you know yourself you really dont want to put it all back on so think about the positives and how far you have come already. You really dont want to go back there and put all that on and more besides. You have been off plan - life gets in the way sometimes. Get right back on it asap, have your WI on Thurs and walk out of the door with positive thoughts. You will do it hun, slowly but surely, make time for yourself, even if its an hour a day, make a list of all the pros and cons of losing weight, I bet the pros outweigh the cons.

Dont forget were here for you anytime and good luck for WI, accept it and move on hun, whats done is done, theres no point stressing about it now x
 
Thanks Texty. I think your right, the stress is unbearable. I'm the sort of person who likes everything in it's place and the move really is getting to me. I can not even begin to imagine the stress you had with your move.

I know that sometimes, I'm able to get straight back on plan but I'm frustrated that i haven't been able to do it this time.

Plan is - get house as sorted as I can tomorrow. Do a SW food shop. Get back to plan. Take WI as it comes and try to do a 100% week by being 100% to plan day by day.
I just hope I can stick to it!

How you feeling today hun? X
 
Over the last 4 weeks you have had life overload hun - everyone has a breaking point. You have made the best of a bad situation you cant do more than that.

As long as you have the kitchen sorted with a kettle and a microwave, the bedroom with a bed to sleep for all of you, and a sofa and tv in the living room, the rest will follow, dont overdo it, remember your still recovering from the accident too so just do what you can when you can, plus you have had your dad to worry about on top of all that.

No one will think anyless of you if the house is untidy its understandable, Im sure if you try to plan and take one day at a time you will be fine and get right back on track. Your Consultant should understand all this and give you lots of support.

Im ok thanks hun no improvement with the back though. So just plodding on xx
 
My C's Dad has just passed away so haven't really heard from her. She's also under stress as well.

Ah I guess it'll all come hun, just with this being the first house we've actually bought - always lived in private rental before - I wanted it perfect and I guess I pressurised myself to try to do it. Like you said, it'll all come with time.

Getting so sick of eating what I want now, guess the novelty has worn off. Let's get WI over and done with and go from there.

Aw hun, was really hoping for some improvement for you!
Oh and WI day for you tomorrow - good luck !! X
 
Your doing really well. Texty has given some great advice

You can do this one day at a time.
 
You will get it the way you want it hun it does take time, I know what you mean about wanting it all perfect though.

Get tomorrow over with if its another rubbish day because its the final move so be it. Thurs is the start of a new week, have a great birthday(treats if you have them) then kick a$$ from Friday. You know what to do its just getting your head back in the game 100% x
 
Keep forgetting it's my birthday, haven't got time for it this year lol.

Back to plan, one day at a time...

Sorry if I keep repeating myself, it's like I'm repeating to get it ingrained in my head lol x
 
Lol I'll try. Have my first physio appointment Thursday morning. Apparently it's standard practice now after a RTC x
 
Hi Hun. The girlies are right youvebeen through so much the last few months so don't give yourself a hard time. You will get back on plan when everything is back where it should be just look after yourself until then x

All done hun! Just got to put boards up in the attic (or so OH says) as there's nothing down and I need to pop the kids memory boxes up there.
So nice to sit down for a few mins!

Still have photos to hang on wall, curtain hold backs and a few prints to go up but hoping Hubby will do that for me tomorrow.

WI tomorrow and then back to plan.

Chest is still painful hun. Haven'y been able to get a bra on properly since accident as the band across my chest is too painful. Lots of baggy t-shirts and layers! Lol

How's the back hun? Xx
 
Make sure you rest hun thats important too. Glad your finally sorted in your lovely new home. The memory boxes sound lovely hun.

Your bound to be sore you just take it easy me dear or u will have me to answer to lol

My back is aching theres no change booo, im thinking of ringing our work physio and see if he can suggest anything different. I know ill have to pay but it will be worth it if he sorts me out.
