Morning All,
Bling - enjoy your cat sitting
I love kitty cats, and have spent many years trying to persuade DHB to let me have one, with a firm 'no'
So I make do with my goldfish instead LMAO!!! (Funny, but true!)
NumNums - :hug99: I really hope that you start feeling better soon hun. It sounds horrible what you go through each day, and to stick to CD on top really is a very big achievement. When I'm ill, I find that I struggle so much with CD, so good on you girl for sticking it out
Please don't feel like a failure, you have done bloody brilliantly and should be very proud of yourself
Summayah - Hope little one is doing well atm. Best of luck for your WI today hun
Minniemel - I have noticed you around on the forum, but not had time to catch up with you properly - how are you doing sweet? I hope those lbs are vanishing for you
Hayley - How is your restart going? I see you say this is your 'last try' - I hope you are finding it ok atm and can reach the goal that you have set yourself. I am sure that you will, 3lb a week is definately possible. Even on weeks where you loose less, it usually catches up the following week with a larger loss (this has been the case for me anyway!) Come on girl! You can do it :girlpower:
Well, I turned into a little CD Bunny last night. Can you believe at 9.00pm I suddenly got up and decided I need to eat something. So there I was looking in the cupboards, tossing asside all sorts (refusing to have it if the truth be known because I knew I was being BAD) :sigh: Then just as I had the freezer open trying to decide whether to have a CD bar or not (I had already had 2 shakes and a bar) my DHB came in...bang went the freezer door
"what are you upto Godders?" he asked me (my nickname that he has called me for years - it's a nickname to my maiden name!) I knew I couldn't pretend "I'm looking for something to have but there is nothing I can have" I told him. He grabbed my shoulders, turned me around and marched me out of the kitchen...bringing me a fennel and nettle tea and a bowl of curly lettuce leaves!!!
Do you know I sat there, chomping on these bloody lettuce leaves and enjoyed them immensly...how very bloody odd :8855:Of all the naughty foods I crave while on CD and I sit a thoroughly enjoy a bowl of lettuce, and lets face it, it's hardly filling is it? But it kept me quiet and my mouth moving :giggle::ashamed0005:
Plus, as DHB pointed out lettuce leaves don't have as many calories as an extra shake or bar...
Anyway, this morning I am breezy and so pleased that I didn't cave, and had the support of my HB. It was fab to wake up without doing any self loathing, which became a terrible routinely habbit not so long ago.
I'm in ketosis, I'm loosing the lbs again and feeling pretty damn good about it, so I am very happy that I am still on track when I could have potentially 'blown it' just for the sake of an evening nosh. I wasn't hungry, clearly.
:cross: Here's to a little extra water today for me and more shedding of lbs
