Willpower.... where do I find that?!?!?

[Caroline_Louise]

Caroline you gonna weight yourself before you go on hol? xxxx

Not after today babe, im off on weds early doors so would mean weighing tomoz and thats pointless. Not til im back now, so i will be on day 14 or roundabouts when i weigh. Cant be bothered to work out if that'll be an UD or DD now but i will be weighing in after nearest DD xx

Holibobs sooooonn!!

I have found the most amazing dress for the third wedding I have this year (on my bday weekend grr!) but it's £130... And I don't know if I would ever wear it again!! Might take my mam to the shops when I go up to London before we go in hols and try it on, if it is amazeballs I may have to treat myself!!

 

[Caroline_Louise]

Thanks x. I hope so too. Although the results I want change the closer I get. I'm always moving the goalposts - which is why I arrived at the 100 day thing rather than an ideal weight this time. On the 100th day I've got to stop no matter what weight I am.

When I started (this time around!) at a disgusting 13st I would have given my right arm to be 11. Now I'm 11 I am desperate to be 10, when I get to 10 I'll ......you get the picture.

Am never satisfied - which is how I got to 7 13 at one point (by all accounts I looked like an old crinkly faced hag) still thought I was fat tho!

You're doing great, I'm loving your 'not beating yourself up' mentality. I think that's the key to dieting success whichever plan following.

Hehe you sound like moses or some other biblical character with your 100 days! Not taking the pee btw just made me chuckle (im odd like that!) but i think its a v sensible idea. When i got to 10st i wanted to be 9 and a half which would be way too skinny for me as i am tall and have quite a big frame! Maybe thats why the dieting gods made me go the other way and gain, to teach me a lesson about when to stop! Seriously though looking back i obvs wasn't ready to be that size, silly as it may sound but my head space was all wrong. I genuinely feel more stable in the noggin department now, tho others may disagree lol xxx

You do seem much more content hun x

Ah thats nice to hear legs, ta muchly think i have just come to a realisation that (for me personally) there is no 'easy' dieting option. I had thought that was CD but it didn't work out, so knowing that the best ways do include food has kind of put me at peace. Food isn't evil, its great, we just gotta respect it a bit more lol xx

Exactly and can't wait to see how u get on fingers crossed I will be on JUDDD by then gonna be hard not knowing if it's worked for u or not but need to do something. Xxx

U gotta just do it babe, regardless of what happens with me. What if i mess up when I'm away (not planning to believe me!) and then ul never know what results u can get! It WILL work, it can't not. Just like i said before speed etc differs for everyone as we are all different shapes sizes and some exercise and some not etc. Its a mine field! Xx

Yoyo you are truly a gem of a person, what a lovely message. Congrats on he dedication to ss, u will def get results and ur commitment deserves to be rewarded. Pls come and drop in an chat with us more if u want to, u r a great motivator! My diary title is 'i want to be happy...' so if u can cope with my rambles feel free to nose through it

Dieting is v subjective but for me it was a good way to kick off my weight loss but not to keep it off. Hopefully juddd is the right way for me to continue my journey for getting those 8lbs i gained off and then maintaining. I certainly feel much happier and thats gotta count for something, so long as i do lose i don't care how long it takes really!

I walked in the door from my run and literally a min later the rain started! I shall take it as a sign that someone thinks im doing well and deserved not to get soaked lol. Just put my sweet pot in the oven to bake and now for a lovely hot shower, im a trifle whiffy! Xx

Ah thanks for making me feel so welcome. I used to post on here loads a few years ago but it became very distracting - work was defintely something I'd squash in around minis not the other way round! Also, naughty OH snooped and read my posts/diary. I felt betrayed and a little foolish - used to pour my innermost thoughts out on here, which I wouldn't do without the protection of anonimity! Wasn't always terribly complimentary about him either - which he didn't appreciate one little bit!

I agree - you should still look on CD as a success. You're not 11 6 anymore. You're 10 6 - and only 6lbs away from goal. Am convinced you'll get there especially with your commitment to exercise. Am hoping that reading you're diary may inspire me to get my back side moving. I did try it last year - joined a gym - and actually went to it this time! 5 nights a week for 4 and half months. Mostly concentrated on swimming as had always been told it was best exercise for weight loss - not for me - had shoulders like fatima whitbred tho!

Enjoy your sweet potato, I don't think I've ever knowingly eaten one of those you know.

Haha! I must admit when I got past 40 days I was feeling quite smug that I'd beat Jesus!

P.S. if you were 10st in that red dress pic then 9 and half would def be too low for you. You look PERFECT in that pic - like someone off hollyoaks! x

Thats flippin gorgeous!! You'll look a million dollars in it.

I have trawled the internet for weeks looking for a dress for the wedding I've gotta go to on 15th. I always struggle with dresses cuz of the bingo wing situation. Dresses with sleeves always look a bit 'loose women' (i mean the chat show not slutty!).

So if I were you I'd make the most of your pert arms and fab figure and get the dress. I see lots of future wearing potential, Xmas and new years eve parties for starters. Or fancy dress - pair of bunny ears and you'd be jessica Rabbitt!!

Aw thanks doll, thats a compliment and a half! I was bang on 10st then and never looked or felt so good in my life. I remember actually looking in the mirror that night and smiling! Also the night i pulled the guy known in this thread as mr masserati lol! I don't give a stuff about him any more but i do want to feel like that again, just for me xx
