Hello. It's so good to know that everyone else is doing this, and reading about your responses to your results is very helpful.
I'm 3 pounds down and into the 12s by half a pound. I know I should be pleased but this is where I usually wobble (pardon the pun). I overthink it, compare to others, logic goes out the window and self-sabotage 'voices' go into overdrive.
I think I'll skip weighing for a few weeks and focus on the process rather than the results - this has worked for me in the past.
I've been reviewing last week's food diary and these are my thoughts:
Not enough veggies.
Not enough water.
Is it part of this WOE to eat as much cheese, egg mayo as possible? Pretty sure it's not ! I think I've read BIWI saying to eat until you're satisfied. So that needs to be sorted.
Also, more exercise. Or even more moving about would do. Sitting on my bahookey reading Mumsnet Bootcamp thread does not count.
KOKO. Thank you to BIWI in particular and to everyone else for helping me along.
PS. Under no circumstances should anyone try the slow cooked sprouts recipe I mentioned in the last thread. The whole thing was beyond vile.
Thee wasn't even a persistent cabbagey smell, which although not attractive, is bearable. This smelled like a burst in the gas mains. It was evil and permeated the whole house. It took a lot longer than the recipe said so it was 7 hours before it was unleashed from the slow cooker. It got worse then, like what I imagine a chemical weapon is like.
I thought it might be one of those 'smell atrocious but taste good' affairs, like ripe Camembert, durian fruit etc. Nope. Utterly vile and I want to boak (not making it up) even typing this. It's gone into the food waste bag, and into the caddy outside til bin day, but the stench is still escaping. Bin day's not until Thursday.
