Weigh in today and I "only" lost 2lbs, which I was initially disappointed with, but out of the 5 who joined with me last week, 2 didn't turn up, 1 lost 3lbs, and 2 lost 2.5lbs, so I guess it's not really that bad. I'd have felt worse if the'd have had half stone losses!!
We had breakfast butties at work today. Normally I would have sausage and egg in a white bap, but I opted for scrambled eggs in a box
The meeting went really well today. There were lots of sandwiches, but there was also a huge fruit platter. I did have one tiny sandwich but couldn’t identify most of the fillings so opted to have some fruit. I discovered that a can of diet pepsi at around 10:30am, keeps hunger at bay, so that I wasn’t hungry during the meeting so didn’t binge on the buffet. Unfortunately there were biscuits on the table at the start and boredom drove me to have two – but that is a massive improvement and I wasn't too over my syns and would be under on a weekly count.
So - things to remember:
1. I didn’t gain weight.
2. I have enjoyed everything I have had to eat this week.
3. I have enjoyed the ‘security’ of knowing that if I get hungry I can have plenty of free food to choose from.
4. I have enjoyed not having to weigh and measure everything.
5. I feel a lot better in myself, no unpleasant toilet episodes, feelings of bloated-ness or heartburn.
6. I have not had any episodes of self-loathing because of uncontrollable bingeing this week.
7. No feelings of embarrassment because I’ve troffed all the families unhealthy snacks within a couple of days, and no suffering “knowing looks” from my husband for doing so.
One of my old friends who was a nursery nurse at youngest son's nursery (before he left to go to school) was there too, so it was lovely to see her, and she said she will definitely be there next week, so that is something for me to look forward to.
Bring on week two!
