***winning the weight war wednesday - hour by hour ***

hi everyone well done on the losses.
Mia be brave and have wi it might not be as bad you you think

Had a lovely time at the gym/swim with my daughter, done all the ironing and sorted out kitchen cupboards. also totm arrived unexpectedly could be why only lost 0.5 lb at weigh in yesterday. Managed to stay 100% so far, hope eveyone else is having a good day only 2 days left of half term :sigh: wish it was longer, still not long to the summer holidays andI hope to be at goal by then!
 
Feeling grumpy this evening. Spent a few hours at a soft play place earlier and I could smell food everywhere. Then went to buy a printer and the shopping complex had bakeries and food stalls all around. Then dh and ds decided it was feeding time, so they both got chips and a warm bread roll............drrooooooooooooooooooool.
So, came home sulking and had 500 mls of water and a tetra. :'(

What I am struggling to understand is this: How can I go without food for 3 days (so far...did it for 10 weeks last time round!) and not 'struggle' yet when I am on 'a diet' I can't control myself? If I find going without so 'easy', why oh why can I not just cut down my food intake and stop being so greedy? I dont understand it. Anyone else feel like this? Any words of wisdom?
 
Are you SURE you're not preggers Lexie?

21 negative pregnancy tests would suggest not. Stop trying to scare me. :D Plus unless hubby is molesting me in my sleep its not really possible, he's on sex strike atm.

I think I'm just going slightly mental to be honest.

Going to docs on Friday to have a moan anyway.

ketosis I think has a large part to play with it. I'm exactly the same, only on Atkins or CD do I not go mental food wise, so I can only put it down to the combination of low carb levels and ketosis.
 
Hiya all,
A bit fed up tonight...... and a bit worried....
As I said earlier this morning, I had some visual disturbances last night which I presumed was migraine, even though it was a little different to what I had experienced before.
Anyway late morning as similar thing happened today (basically I had some areas of greyness in my vision ont he left side - last night I had a big grey gap where I just couldnt see which lasted for about 30 mins)
Anyway, went to the doc who said it didnt sound like migraine to him and he did a battery of vision tests and said he was sure it wasn't my vision. He did my B/P which is much better than it has been in a long while so he rang a medical doc at the hopsital for advice.
Now the reason he was concerned, is because before he died, my dad had about 16yrs of strokes one after another. The hospital felt that I maybe had something occuring within the vessels such as a slight thickening of the blood or maybe a tiny clot... nothing big enough to cause a stroke but maybe a warning. So he has started me on Asprin and I am to have some blood tests soon and see a specialist at some point.
He was very happy for me to continue the plan as it is as he said that wouldn't have made a difference, this would be a herediatry thing and losing weight can only help me get fitter etc...
So I am stll quite worried but am just going to continue the way I am going and see what happns with further tests :(
Hope you all have had a good day

DON'T give up, you have lost loads! Grab a back pack and fill it with stuff so that it weighs the same as what you have lost so far, then stick it on and wear it for 2 hours .... Then think of what it would feel like to have all that back on for good! Take it off and smile that it is gone forever.....

Thats actually a good idea for anyone feeling they have not lost enough - if you think how heavy it is carring a TODDLER around with you for a couple of hours and how they probably only weigh 30-40lbs its a thought!
 
Aw Tilly how worrying :(

Can't really say much except hugs. :hug99:

My dad also had recurrent strokes, and as I take migraines with aura I'm not allowed the combined pill due to high risk factor.
 
Big hugs Tilly, can't offer any words of wisdom but I do hope you're feeling a lot better soon. I have suffered from severe irregular astigmatism since the age of around 12 when my periods started, I get such bad eye strain related migraines sometimes, I know what you're going through. It can be earth shattering sometimes, you never really know how nasty they are till you have one do you?

I have to see the Optometrist once every 4-6 months due to the shape of my eyes changing- my right eye isn't so bad but the shape of my left eye is deteriorating rapidly due to hormonal fluctuations. Normal corneas are round, most people with astigmatism have rugby ball shaped corneas, my Optometrist likened the shape of mine to a child's drawing of a fried egg- all over the blooming place :( I have been warned that if they deteriorate any more, glasses may not be able to correct my vision, I will have nothing but a blur in my left eye, so bad that I may have to even quit driving. Its a constant worry for me, always in the back of my mind because I know my eyes have often deteriorated with fluctuations in my weight.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. What I was trying to say was that I know sometimes how these things can play on your mind, a constant worry. You should be proud that you're doing something about your weight now, from the sounds of it your health has improved a lot since you started and that has got to be a positive. And if there is something wrong, at least you will know and are on the way to getting it sorted out. Sorry for the long rambling posts, its been one of those days. If you fancy a chat hun, send me a PM- I know you are missing your nightly chats with Curly ;)

Guess that is defo a 'NO' then! Hope it all goes well at the docs. Its probably just your body being nasty with hormones. Oh, and thank you for the new reputation comment ;)

Tilly, that must be very scary. Now the doctor is keeping an eye on you, I am sure it will all be fine. You are in my thoughts xx
 
Tilly

Hi All
I'm baaaaacccckkk!!!

Have had a lovely weekend with my dad who hit 88 on Saturday but sadly have eaten a bit too much while away. I don't get to visit very often and it could have been very awkward cos he wanted to take me out all the time, but I tried to choose as wisely as possible and am not going to beat myself up about it and just get back on my S/F tomorrow. Have missed drinking water too so will be glad to get drinking again. My dad likes his wine so have had rather a lot of that too!! Still, what's done is done and it made him happy so that's OK.
Great to catch up with everyone and hope everyone OK.

Take care

HELLO STRANGER!

Ive missed you! - glad you have had a nice time seeing your dad and its strange how we get so used to a certain way of eating and drinking that we miss it - I was like that when I went away on the weekend with HB a few weeks ago for anniversary - I was craving my hot chocs (very sad I know but true!)

Love
Jess

Not good Jess. Only lost 1.25lb. On the other hand, I thought I would put on and I also lost another 3".
