It is lovely to hear from you. How are you doing? As you can see I am back at square one again! But I am in a very determind mood and I really want to win the battle of the bulge this time! I will pop into your diary for some inspiration, hopefully we can keep each other on the straight and narrow!
I have been struggling with my water intake again today, only drunk 2 1/2 lt's so far. I will definately try and get another litre down befor I go to bed tonight. I have been lurking on the forum most of the day, I'm trying to keep my-self distracted and busy......got a terrible urge to eat today! But I'm not giving in to it!

Thanks June.
I promise I will stay strong! I have managed about 3lt's of water today and a couple of coffee's.
I have had two packs so far and will have my last one just before I go to bed, hopefully it will stop my tum from rumbling all night!
I definately do not like the broccoli and cheese soup YUCK. I had to throw it down the sink! Luckily I have a few spair packs lurking in my cupboard so no harm done!
I really have had the urge to eat tonight, which is really daft because I am well and trully in Ketosis. I will not give in to these silly and destructive urges for food! It will not beat me!
Onwards and upwards! I will be slim for this summer!

I am back at square one too but we will do it. We will do it together. I have just got to try to catch up with you. We cant let each other down. It will be just like the LL meetings we wont want to let the other down because then we would have failed IYKWIM.

Day 6 Woooo Hooooo
I am still going strong! I feel soooooo relieved today, because I really really wanted to eat yesterday! It was a real battle to stay on the straight and narrow, but I won! Wooo hoooo.
So here I am at day 6, I am going to keep myself busy today. I might pop in to town and get myself a nice pair of comfy shoes for my new job. I have signed my contract and just waiting for a start date now. It's all rather exciting, but also a little scary too especially as I will be surrounded by yummy little pieces of chocolate heaven!
Thank goodness I didn't get a job in a cheese shop......I really would have been in trouble. Cheese is my fave thing!
So I am going to go glug lots of water and keep myself busy, I might do a little food porn and watch Saturday Kitchen! :8855:
Have fantastic day everyone!

Day 6 continued...
Well I finally have a start date for my new job, 26th Jan! Still not sure where I have to go for my 3 week induction yet. They are going to let me know on Monday. So after nearly 18 years working in Optics I am starting a new career in Chocolate! OMG what am I letting myself in for? :8855:
Getting this job is really what made me get back on the packs. I know I have huge issues with food and I want to conquer them. I really want to be able to go to work in my new job and not be intimidated by all that food. I want to be able to have the courage and confidence to say NO to food! I need to teach myself to be in control and not let food control me!
This is a New year, a new career and a new Me!
This is my new start and I am going to grab it with both hands!

Yes , we finally made it in May 2008. We were lucky that we sold our house in England when we did or we would still be stuck there.
Have settled down really well and its just a lot more relaxed or would be if my DH was not being such a D££khead at the moment.:8855:

Hi June
Food porn was rather good.....watched Saturday Kitchen. Lots of yummy recipes to try out on the family. I also spent all afternoon cooking up a Tex mex feast. I did have a slight wobble when everyone was enjoying my efforts, but I managed to control myself and not give in to the urge to munch! So I am feeling rather pleased with myself! It's funny how when I'm on the packs the only way I can cope is to cook loads of food for everyone else! Wierd huh? It was the same when I was on LL in 2005.
Oh well at least I'm not eating the food. All the others in the house are all skinny mini's so they can enjoy eating it and I can enjoy cooking and serving it!
I still have not drunk enough water today only 2lt's down so far today, but I definately get another 1 1/2lt's down before bedtime. It will be better next week when I get some water flavouring. Well day six will be over soon, roll on day 7
I'm looking forward to weighing in on Tuesday, but it will be my last weigh in for three weeks as I will be away on my course. I just hope I don't fall off the wagon while I am away. I will be away from home Monday to Friday and stuck in a hotel room. I will need to keep busy of an evening so that I don't get bored and start eating! Oh well I'm to get yet another glass of boring old tap water.........

Hey there friend, so pleased that you're going along so nicely. I reckon with us all at it together, this time we'll get this weight off again......and keep it off!
You will NOT be the fatbird in the chocolate shop, you will be the gorgeous slim one that the customers keep asking 'How do you stay so slim when you're surrounded by lovely chocolate all day?' You'll just smile and brush off their compliments and then you'll feel smug as you watch their tubby botties leave the shop and you'll be reminded why you stuck to packs, and why the new slim you will be restrained in around food forever.
Keep it up.

You sound just like me, Tracey. When on SS I watch all the cookery programmes and cook all sorts of new meals for the family ( although it will only be for Mum and Martin now)
I have only managed 2 litres of water so far today but will keep going until bedtime. Oh well had better get used to keep getting up in the night again :8855:
Good luch with the weighin.

Tpott's Day 7 in the CD house
Day 7
Thanks guy's for the encouragement and support, it always helps keep me on track.
Well, weighed myself this morning and looks like another couple of lb's of blubber have melted away! Yippeeeee.
I am still going to wait for my official weigh in before putting it on my stats here. I want to make sure it's accurate! So roll on Tuesday so I can post my weekly Tuesday to Tuesday loss! I think it's going to be a good one! Although lets face it any loss is good whether it's large or small. So burn blubber burn :8855:
I am still being good and have not cheated once although I do find evening's extremely hard. I always convince my-self that I am hungry in the evening's, which clearly is not true because I am most definately in the pink zone! I had to keep occupied last night to stop me munching. I had a good soak in the bath, watched a film and played a few games ofScrabble Blast here on minimims!
I did manage to get my extra 1 1/2 lt's of water down last night, so thats good although I am not mananging to get the 4 lt's of water down that I need to drink.
I will try harder today to get 4 lt's drunk by bed time.
So whats in store for Ms Tpott today? I don't know! But one thing for sure is I will not be eating! I am going to SS my way to Slimdom!
Have a great day everyone and keep strong, together we will win the battle of the bulge!!

Thanks Pam
I have just got back from town. I am now the proud owner of a nice pair of shoes for my new job next week. I have also had to buy some new tops for work as well, because untill I get my uniform I have to wear black clothes. I rather resent paying out on new clothes now, because I know they will only fit me for a short while. So I have hunted high and low for a few bargains.
Have a fantastic day Pam and stay strong!
Keep glugging the water!

ramblings of a desperate woman!
Day 7 continued
Well I'm here on Minimims because I am feeling the urge to splurge on food and I would rather ramble away on here than fall off the wagon........Why are evenings so tough? I just don't get it? Why do I feel the need to eat? I'm in ketosis, so physically I'm not hungry. But that nasty greedy little person in my head keeps telling me to eat......She is very persistant.......But I must not give in.
I can't give in, otherwise all my hard work this week will be ruined. I have had a good soak in the bath, so at least I am warmer now. I've been freezing all day.
Oh well, I will have a little surf on the net and try and keep busy untill the urge to stuff my fat face pass's! :wave_cry:
Roll on day 8

Day 8 damn those stupid scales!!!
Day 8
Well I am all confused today. I think my scales are broken....well I hope that's what it is. I have stuck to SS religously since I started on my CD packs last monday. I have not cheated once and it's been damn hard, especially in the evenings but..........I got on my scales this morning first thing after my first wee of the day and the damn scales say I've gained 4lb!!!!!!!! Now this can't be true! It is really frustrating and logicially I know I have not gained weight, it is physically impossible, but it really does start me playing mind games and having doubts about my self. How stupid is that! Oh roll on 10am tomorrow when I can go and see Helen for my official weigh in! I am also meeting my Mum and lovely daughter for lunch tomorrow as well. Well when I say lunch I will be munching on a CD bar and coffee whilst they enjoy a tasty lunch! My mum is very seriosly over weight to, even more so than me, she has always struggled to lose weight and keep it off. She can't do any VLCD because she has a dodgy heart, osteoperosis and arthritus! She is on huge amounts of medication. She does try to lose weight, but like the rest of us she has a passion for cooking and eating. But I am very proud of my Mum because she is going to start a healthy eating plan today! She has never had much success with WW and SW so she has decided to make herself a healthy plan using her own recipes. She is going to reduce the fat in her diet, reduce pasta, rice, bread and potatoes and increase on healthy veggies and fruit! She has also ordered herself a walking machine to use at home for some gentle exercise. Because of her disabilities she has trouble walking and walks on two crutches. But with a walking machine it has a nice sturdy bar for her to hold and keep her supported. So well done Mum! Mum is hoping to lose a little weight, but also she feels she would benefit from an improved diet and a little exercise! So Well done Mum! It just goes to show we are never to old to try and improve our health.
So I am going to get lot's of water down my neck today, I managed my 4lt's yesterday. I will try not to obsess about those damn scales and I will keep strong and I will be slim for the summer!
Have a great day everyone and good luck to you all on your weight lose journeys.
We will all get to where we want to be!
