Where to start!

haha i had to laugh out loud then x x

 

[MsVoluptua]

Ugh having a bad day. My hair feels so short and the colour is horrendous, can't wait for tomorrow to hopefully get it sorted. Husband made a quorn mince pie today. I had a small piece and pointed it up at 10pp. Seemed a lot but it was so nice. Really tasty. So today so far I've had
Bjfast: crunchy nut cornflakes
Lunch: piece of quorn pie
Dinner:??
Might have another piece of pie to be honest. At least it is made.
I really don't feel like this has been a good day. I feel ugly fat and bad hair, and I feel like this is going to be such a looooong journey. Can I really do it?

 

[MsVoluptua]

Omg hahahaha I meant bkfast!! Not bjfast!! That sounds so rude! But might have been more fun than crunchy nut cornflakes! Oh god even that sounds rude now!??? x x

ROFL definitely better than cornflakes

I really don't feel like this has been a good day. I feel ugly fat and bad hair, and I feel like this is going to be such a looooong journey. Can I really do it?

YES you can do it - this is just one day where you're feeling a little down, probably because you're not happy with your hair? This is one of the perfect baby and bath water scenarios that I excel in - but your hair will be fixed just the way you want it tomorrow, and you will have many, many great days on the eating plan that completely make you forget about the one day here and there when you weren't 100% in the zone.

So, big hugs, don't worry, just keep on doing it and tomorrow will be better xxx

i agree with susie you will have days like this and once your hair is sorted you will feel loads better hun im sure it x x x x x

 

[MsVoluptua]

Thanks ladies, feel a bit better today! Just getting ready to go to the hairdressers so fingers crossed I'll feel better this afternoon! On another point, my scales weirdly arrived today! I actually weigh less than I was imagining, still a ridiculously hideous amount but less then my drama queen mind was imagining. 29st4.5lbs phew, wrote it down and it didn't kill me! And I told hubby too. First time I ever have! Feel like I'm really going to do this. No burying head in the sand. Ok, the only way is down now! Hope you all have a good day! X x

 

[chezz]

hope your hair looks a lot better now x x

Slow and steady will win the battle love xxx

Thanks x yes you are right about the food. I'm just so scared of eating too much. I'm trying to eat like a thin person, I think of a friend of mine and how she enjoys her meals but doesn't obsess about them, and would never dream of missing BOTH breakfast and lunch. It's so hard to completely change the way your brain works and your relationship with food isn't it? But I'm still determined to make it. I went shopping today and treated myself to some new makeup, and a nespresso coffee machine! Which is actually a late Christmas pressie from hubby. I did LOADS of walking (well for me) looking forward to putting my feet up and watching some House on tv and a bit of knitting.
Hope you all had a good day

Bkfast: go ahead apple biscuit

Lunch: cous cous salad

Dinner: subway sweet onion teriyaki And packet of Pom bears

And you will love, but yes it does take some brain rewiring . Not eating B and L is fine - if you live on a desert island!

So enjoy them both, and look for meals that will fill you up - so fruit and yog for B, a BIG salad for lunch and at dinner try and fill up on veg first, before your main meals, and you will win this battle, I promise xxx

so glad you have eaten more today and you are not feeling hungry love another day over and more gt ones to come x x x

 

[MsVoluptua]

Ohh tis chilly out there! Not been in long. Just had a nice chicken casserole from the slow cooker for dinner, was very comforting to eat. I sneakily weighed myself, even though I said I would wait a whole week. But i was pleased with what the scales said from Friday to today. Bearing in mind I was watching what I ate 5 days before I got my scales so don't know my exact start weight.
Still feeling a little peckish so might have a sandwich made with a sandwich thin, when eastenders is on!
What's been going on for you all today? X x

 

[chezz]
