Thread 8 for the blood sugar dieters

Oh bear. Cross post with you. You do post the longest, nicest posts of anyone on this thread!!
Yes, maybe you are right. Maybe my holiday is too much pressure.
I do need to rethink this.

Hi guys. Sorry I've been AWOL, but I've been really struggling with my wrist. I've picked out too. Got back on it this week. But had cake today. It was a little girls birthday at work and she brought cake in and asked me why I didn't have any so I had a small piece.

I’m thinking of putting this as my dating bio, what do you think?

Attachment fail!

Third time lucky but now the joke is ruined!

I'm having that for my profile on the form website ramsey

Form?? What am I? A school girl?

Firm!

flighty I hear you. I can't stand to hear of people who claim to have lost two stone or similar by simply cutting out bread / crisps / whatever.

I think we need to go with the mantra that was up thread about this being really hard and there is no point pretending otherwise.

Smashing lunch today with plenty of protein, 70g smoked chook, an egg, slice of chopped ham, feta with kale slaw (kale and a dab of mayo)and salady whatnots. Kept the hunger pangs at bay all afternoon. Just finished yoga and munching on a celery stick which is oddly satisfying.
Thanks for all your tips@thenewaveragebear1983 they really work! Maybe I won't have ALL the proteins tomorrow... I was a bit over at 380 cals.

That's great naked

Spaghetti I know, my Dh eats rubbish, spends hours in his car, but can lose half a stone by giving up crisps. It's infuriating. If you've read the 'what do you eat if you're naturally thin?' Thread that's running right now there's loads of people on there who eat absolute junk and are 8st. It's not fair is it?!!

I hate them all bear!!! Almost as much as I hate peoples who 'forget' to eat, leave half a pudding or lose weight when they are stressed!

One thing my own static scales nightmare has shown me is just how little I should be eating given my job is sedentary.

Cautiously optimistic that they might have shifted a smidge this week.

Yep. I have a list in my head of things I have literally never said-
'I looked at my watch and realised I'd forgotten lunch' - nope, never.
'I always lose my appetite when I'm ill' - nope, never
'I had a big breakfast so won't eat lunch/dinner' - nope, never.

Annoyingly though, most of the thin people I know actually do eat 'properly'- I think it's because they have always been thin. Once you are overweight, then lose weight, I think you always have the potential to go back there, and your body wants to. Probably faulty hormones, insulin, metabolism, fat cells ...... However My skinniest friend only drinks full fat coke, not ever water, and eats several chocolate, cake, treats a day. I would be twenty stone if I ate her diet. Ironically, the person I know who is 20 stone eats the healthiest food of anyone I know. Life is an actual bastard sometimes. They look at me like I am insane when I say I cannot have a tiny piece of cake because I am dieting. Because it's just a teeny piece of cake. People who have always been blissfully slim have literally no idea how one slither of cake can upset the dangerously precarious equilibrium of the tortured dieter.

How is everyone today? I'm doing ok, but hungry today, counting the clock til dinner time. I'll be over today as I have pre-counted my dinner already, and rather than scrimp on ingredients I'm following the recipe but it's a bit calorie heavy. Still should find on 1000, but very very low carbs (less than 5g!)

My dh is one of those people who can forget to eat He is also prone to saying things like 'Food is just fuel' double Honestly I don't know how I haven't buried him under a pile of apples.

I had a busy morning and then had some creole chicken and salad for lunch. I have tonnes of calories left because their portion sizes are so tiny - hurrah! So may make a gratin for dinner this evening or fish pie.

Just had this for dinner. Don't be fooled by its ugly duckling exterior- it was blooming delicious! It's just a chicken breast, and then I sautéed some mushrooms, some bacon and 4 tbsp single cream (to split between me and Dh), salt and lots of pepper, and a small amount of grated cheese. It's gone strangely grey because of the mushrooms but it tasted amazing!

Looks good bear. I'm soooooo hungry. Got to get DCs in bed and then I have lovely farm shop Cajun chicken to do with veg.

couch my DH used to be like that but it's catching up with him now which has been a real shock to him.

Worked very hard at gym today. So tempted to eat something disgusting right now. Must be strong.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

Ive been told I'm getting my weeks notice.
Boss said I've had too much time off (because of my wrist last week) but it was them who wouldn't let me in! I phoned every day willing to go back and they said no.
So I've spent the last 4 hours looking for a new job and applying for absolutely everything.

Life seems very unfair sometimes
I'd have been in work if not for the manager telling me I wasn't allowed in!

Herroyal what???? Surely that can't happen? Had you been there long (not on a probationary period?)- do you have a union? I know nothing about these things but for you.

Nope, still probationary period so fuck all I can do about it.b

Oh gosh herroyal. I'm sorry. That's rotten news.

It's so unfair. You'd think they'd give a warning first! Or if the boss is that bothered about staff absences she needs to tell her manager not to tell staff to stay at home.

Hi all,

I'm kind of lurking and following this diet. I'm pregnant so can't limit my calories but have been getting recipes due to having Gestational Diabetes!

Will be following religiously once baby arrives as I need to lose millions of stone and also don't want to end up type 2 which they think I'm high risk of!

Just wanted to say hi and good luck to you all!

HerRoyal that's so unfair. Fingers crossed you find a new, even better job.

Welcome ziggzagg and congratulations on your pregnancy!

Depending on where I put the scales, I've either lost 0.4 lbs or nothing at all. So obviously I'm going with the option where I've lost 0.4lbs. I'm starting to think my scales need new batteries. They're fluctuating all the time.

Herroyal hope you are ok? That's a horrible situation.

Ziggzagg I had gd, that's how I ended up here. My sister has also just had a pregnancy with gd, she ate a very very low carb diet (against the instructions of the consultant) and had ended up not needing medication and as a result was able to have a water both and no monitoring so it was definitely worth it.

Good day here so far- just coffee! Ds going to in laws for the day, so I'm just waiting for him to be collected then I'm painting the utility room. Had one tiny sip of Dh's wine last night and could for a moment have been massively tempted, but managed to resist. But I can feel the weekend looming ominously, plus I'm a bit hormonal as due on next week. Let's see what the weekend brings.......!!

Hi ziggzag

How are you feeling this morning herroyal?

Decided to WI today. My DD is poorly and I'm off to GP in a bit. I'm not sure how well diet will go later if I can't find time to cook etc.

Good news is I've lost 3lb! That's taken me to 10lb overall and back to where I was last September

Bit of a result.
deputy manager from baby room kicked off to fuck when she found out about my weeks notice. She shouted at the boss and the manager. Full on storming into the office and swearing kind of kicking off. Saying i was too good to just let go. I still have a job. Just in baby room. 1 month, no absences (unless booked or emergency) and I'll get my permanent contract.
