yesterday and today have been so far so good although i have felt hungry in between meals at times i have tried not to snack or just had a carrot or bit of ham or celery...it is hard though. i think boredom is my main trigger also having a few health issues playing on my mind, i used to just eat or drink alcohol if i was worried before, not sure what to do now,maybe that is why i feel more down than usual and anxious 2....anyway so far so good in terms of food,will update later on tonight xxxxxx

Sounds like you are gaining awareness about what makes you eat/drink, I think that can be really tough, but maybe helpful in the long run. big hugs for you xxxxx

 

[CANKSTER]

You will get there babes, your making the mental changes as well as the physical ones. x

BREAKFAST...maintenance bar

pear

LUNCH...going down the road to the cafe for a chicken salad,chicken,one egg,beetroot,cucumber,lettuce,tomato,onion,may have a bit of salad cream or pickle or something'had some branston pickle,was yum'

had some sugar free cherry halls things for my blocked nose,nearly had a choccie bar from shop after lunch as felt like i wanted something sweet but resisted ! very proud, i stood there for ten minutes looking at the nutrition table on the back to see which had the least amount of calories but in the end just decided against it,saturday is my treat night plus got my muller rice later on tonight so can look forward to that.

had couple of slices of ham,one extra light cheese triangle,4 olives,stick of celery,2 tomatoes and some raw mushroom whilst making the kids dinner, i feel i start to get hungry at this time when making their meal but prefer not to eat my maintenance bar til 7-7.30 to stop me feeling hungry later in the evening

DINNER...maintenance bar

8 strawberries and some pear

muller rice
one smoothie lolly


10 glasses of sparkling water 'half pint'
2 500ml bottles of still water
1 500ml bottle of diet coke

feeling alot more positive and alot more in control at the moment, dont seem to feel as hungry as i did last week,seem to be coping much better, maybe it was hormonal or something lol i dont know but just happy that i am feeling better and not so down in the dumps.xxxx

[baps]

hi

can you let me know when i start eating again how many calories is it we are suppose to have a day x

 

[nicki26]

to be honest i am not entirely sure, the lady at lipotrim told me that i can have 2000 a day now that i am on maintenance to maintain my weight but i darent eat that many, on days that i havent had a little slip up i have tried to eat between 1200-1500 a day,so far so good this week i have been maintaining according to boots scales i am exactly the same as i was last tuesday when i weighed myself today. everybody is different though and you may prefer to seek advice from the nurse at your gp's or even your doctor to get a better idea as they may be able to work out more accurately how many cals you need to maintain your weight for your height/build/exercise levels etc etc

good luck xxx

Sleep is a good idea I am sure, I read some study the other day about women who didn't get enough sleep and how they gained weight - bizarre I know but I think there is something in it. Since I've been with my bf I've put on weight and I sleep really badly with him because he snores like a lorry!
