Fecked up at 12 lbs !

[coldfeetmama]

So annoyed with myself - 4 weeks in and lost a total of 12lbs

Slightest wee thing annoyed me and I reached for the chocolate

Which led me to drowning in Ben and Jerrys , Haribo's and crisp sandwiches

Every day for last 10 days

Paid for a 12 week countdown , do I suck up a massive gain and just start again or do I just slope off into oblivion and carry on stuffing my face in anger and self sabotage

Of course the answer is go back , suck it up and start again - but - I'm annoyed , embarrassed, disappointed, peed off and just feeling bloated ugly and stupid again 😤

Go back.... it may not be as bad as you think, but even if it is you can start again. Don't be so hard on yourself!!

Thank you .. you are right

It was the 12lb point that made me mad
Another 2 lbs would have been a stone lol

So annoyed with myself 🤨

Give yourself a break, get straight back on it.
Like falling off a horse 😂
We all have our moments, you're only human.
Well done for 12lb in 4 weeks, I'm impressed.

It's all about consistency not perfection. Draw a line under it and move on.

Well done for the 12lbs.
I'm wondering if you were possibly too strict with yourself though ? Did you have any treats during those 4 weeks?

Go back, keep going. Look at the positives. You feel bloated etc and won't want to feel like that again.
Also, it might not be that bad ( the weigh in).

Thanks@Lemonweightloss

I did use my 15 syns each day so didn't feel too deprived, it's more an emotional response with me

As soon as something hurts me or makes me angry -I just want that rubbish food

I'm very predictable lol

I'm going to go Tuesday , accept it and move on

🤭 I hope

I did exactly the same and had bought a countdown too. But sucked it up and really stuck to sw with only 4 days to go before weigh in day. I had put on 2 lbs but it would have been a lot worse if I hadn't knuckled down for those 4 days before. Good luck. Hopefully it won't be as bad as you think. But even if is, you should make peace that this probably will happen again but its how you deal with it that makes you stronger and ready to lose the next few pounds. Don't let a bad week or two ruin what you have accomplished so far.

I'm expecting at least 6 ! 🤣

Glad I'm not alone

Take a breath
Draw a line and move forward.

12lb in 4 weeks is great.

At some point your losses will stabilise to 1-2lb a week and that's good to.

Go to group be honest and ask for help.

What are you using your syns on? Are they 'wasted like using microwave rice rather than cooking from dried or are you saving them for things you really want and enjoy like a nice pudding or crisps?

It's a marathon not sprint and all that

To have put the 12 lbs on you would have needed to have eaten an extra 42'000 calories. I doubt it's as bad as you think

@willweevergetthere

I use syns mostly for things like a Yorkshire pudding and gravy if I do a roast
Or a bit of mayo

Sometimes a biscuit or desert
I try to limit the treats as it's hard to stop at one biscuit or one piece of chocolate

I'll go shopping today and try to get back on track
