and me too...
Vicky - please don't get despondent. For years, we've turned to foods (probably always at weekends too) when things aren't going to plan, and so it's perfectly normal that our instincts take over like that.
I presume, like me, you knuckle back down again on a Monday morning (ok if you're not working on Monday that is!) and wonder what all the fuss was about?
I'm working currently at finding techniques which will work to break this habit. As I broke the "smoking habit" because that was the hardest thing to do. I was ready for the nicotine withdrawal problems, but I hadn't reckoned on how many cigs were actually smoked [at this or that time] through habit.
I'm convinced that many of our eating patterns fall into that category.
But meanwhile, do what you can as I am in the week to limit the damage... if you can. And if you can't, then please talk to us... you know we are several with the same problem here...
After my holiday, I am considering going back into PURE Dukan mode. No slip ups. No treats. No extras. Why? Because it's easier than having to use (often defective) willpower. Now why do I think it'll be then easier to stabilise when at target? Because I've seen that what I'm doing now IS stabilising my weight, Friday to Friday, just that I'm not losing...
Sorry about that on your thread!!! If you recognise any of it, fine, if not, give the pups a big cuddle from me.
Cheryl - you are so NOT mentally unstable; you've been through a real trauma and only the physical side has been treated. I worried at your stiff upper lip approach before and know from experience that it will have to come out, and sooner is better than later... MWAH!
