2011 Paul McKenna part two - our final diet

[whomovedmychocolate]

Welcome etc. blah blah. :)

God we can talk.

Loving 'Pauling'

loving the pauling

...sorry ive havent been around for a few days ladies, bad pain times and too much stuff at home, lots of stuff going on with my mum, but hopefully today it has broken through and it will be ok.

i have been doing my best, i have been eating consciously and eating what i want, not what i think i should eat. im not sure im eating when im hungry and therefore thats probably why im not feeling the full very well.

spoke to one of the Drs in passing at work today at the end of a meeting (my days are spent conversing with drs and health professionals), as there was food for the meeting after us we were talking about humous, and i was saying how i am enjoying it so more on the PM plan, and he was saying how hes heard some really good things about it and knows some patients who have done really well gaining weight on the programme - dont freak hes a oncologist (cancer Dr) so its what the patients need to do!!! but they patients have ended up healthier and able to withstand more treatment, more determied....
im one step behind trying to get the dietician at work to promote PM!!!

okay....i have my MRI tomorrow after work so wont get home till 9 and i suspect straight to bed after as the kids seem to be waking up earlier now the mornings are lighter, must get a new blackout blind for the girls room (they had one but we moved their room and now dont) so i can sleep past 6am!
say new physio today (at work also, i love the amount of thigns i can do in work time) and got a strap for my pelvis and some new exercises to be getting on with whilst we wait for the MRI results.

ok im off to bed now, via DD3 and settling her down, teething again....but she has learnt how to 'kiss' (you know that wide mouthed kisses that babies do) so i almost burst into tears when she gave me a huge snog good night!!!

oh i love baby snogs.
oh there's that warm fuzzy feeling, so i won't be needing a snack before bed!
hello to the newcomers to the thread.

Awwwwwww baby kisses!

Also waves pom pom bears for Mary's loss and Nora's inspirational kiddiwinks and everyone's positivity.

Hope the MRI goes ok & the outcome is best poss KT.

I'm sitting here with everyone in bed thinking, ooh there's nutella and tiger bread in the kitchen. Normally I'd have a chunk in hand and a chunk in my gob but immediately after that thought is a little question of how my stomach is feeling and it is fine, I couldn't imagine eating right now!

Win!

Good luck KT - dd has too learnt kisses, and clapping hands this week - the kisses are turning into biting a little though, as the last of the 4 top teeth that started 2 weeks ago come through...been a fun few weeks!

I hadn't thought about until a few of you said, but I have suffered for years with lactose intolerance, making me very bloated, uncomfortable and at times, really whiffy... and it really seems to have settled down - I dont know if I am eating less dairy unconsciously, because I always really struggle to avoid it normally, or if the symptoms were actually to do with how I was eating. will keep recording how the symptoms go though, as there could be something in it....

I did my first run of the couch to 5k tonight, felt really motivated to do it, even though I know I had house stuff and marking to do after, I still went out at 8pm and it was ok - how I feel tomorrow will be the real test though, my back usually is in bits after any exercise!

Planning on doing the next one on Thursday, then a swim sat morning, then run again Sunday, hopefully I can keep it up!

Question though - for those who have the 5 cd set - how do you alternate them - just by how you feel, or in a particular order? I listened to the exercise one last night, to try and get motivated for tonight - think it must have helped.

WMMC - I have bought a shock absorber sports bra, what make is yours? I think it seems ok, whilst still some movement, I didnt think about it or notice any discomfort whilst puffing along with a bright red face running and my norkage is a ridiculous 34H - although i am hoping it will shrink over the next few months, determined to get to 9st by the summer, I have never worn a bikini, would love to feel confident enough to wear one this summer - the spring like weather here has really made me start thinking about summer, getting summer clothes out of the attic.

I too am going to be reducing my timewasting on the net - like the idea of restricting my use - can't remember who said they were doing this - but will make myself only use it for an hour a day, after dd in bed.

Keep on Pauling everyone!

I have bought four M&S high impact sports bras. They are deathly dull looking and cost £16 each. I don't find the shock absorbers fit me so well and they are quite itchy too (for me at least). I have no movement whatsoever in them. Stiff upper norks Totally restrained norkage - very British

Things I HAve Learned Whilst Pauling - chips taste good for teh first bite ... then are not all that tasty at all! I used to love chips, they were one of my biggest downfalls. There's just no real flavour to them!

I'm sure my waist is smaller today! In fact, last week I dont think I even had a waist!

missmakestuff restless legs can be cured by putting yr legs up high against a wall for 10 mins. once or twice a day and massaging them from ankle up.

K.T. and all aches and pains sufferers I read a brill book by Liz Earle who talks about Starflower and Evening primrose oil as curing these (and a lot of other) problems .It's worth a try IMO.

Thankyou everyone I think I get the general gist,
eat when you are hungry

eat what you want

eat it slowly & concentrate

if I feel im getting full stop.

I have an inkling my mum may have the book ill hunt thanks ill be back

Just a note on sports bra's for a larger bust.

www.amplebosom.co.uk are great, I like the glamorise one. a bit price at £34 but worth every penny IMO).

If you ring them they are very helpful too.

I have an M+S high impact and am a bit disappointed with it. But I am an awkward size.

ppeatfruit I love Liz Earle, she cleared up my adult acne. I second your suggestion.

ktwiltshire. I hope all is well with your MRI and you are receiving some good news as I type...

Thank you mummysaurua With bras i have found NOW Iam getting on a bit! that i'm a totally diff size to what i was told when measured in M & S (it's not the P.M.)!

This morning, I got the urge to dance around to cheesy Europop and sing loudly. I mean REALLY high energy dance - think Hugh Grant in Love Actually but wilder. Arms waving in the air, leg kicks, huge smile.

So I boogied around to and singing incredibly loudly (and I have a big voice - I sang Big Spender with the band at my wedding). In fact now I've linked to the YouTube I'm doing cheesy movements in my chair and as I type. I don't think I was seen or heard - BUT WHO CARES.

I can't wear this uniform without some compromises
Because you'll find out that we come
In different shapes and sizes
No one can be myself like I can
For this job I'm the best man
And while this may be true, you are the one and only you.
I am the one and only
Nobody I'd rather be

You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off of you.

And I REFUSE to insert blush emoticon.

Do you think all this positive image stuff is FINALLY starting to sink in?

BTW go for it Glitter.

I'd much rather get a high from bad music than overeating.

I feel a bit of might be in order next.

I had some cookies and a cup of tea..coz i wanted too serious fb moment and trying to not feel guilty

hopefully the shackles stay off and it works :)

Hope everyone edoes well too

OTHER ODD THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY:

1. I went past Patisserie Valerie today and looked their ENORMOUS slices of cake and thought that nobody in their right mind would want to eat that much cake and found the whole idea slightly repulsive.

1. I was browsing in our indoor market and the stallholder saw me looking at a silky jackety thing, and told me that it was suitable for all sizes. And weirdly my brain thought - oh, she's referring to my size, why does she think I'm fat, this is just a temporary state. Logically I know that I'm still a big lass, but something in my brain has shifted into knowing that change is possible.

1. I've just downloaded . WTF!

blinder "I just remember that at one point in the last morning hypnosis he said, 'you are enough' and it jolted me through to my purple leather boots !"

Firstly purple boots sound great.

The thing that he said which had a lasting impact on me was: "If you are fat, you are not a bad person. You have just developed some poor eating habits." I know this is in the book too, but to hear it vocalised was a revelation and immediately made me feel calm.

I'll shut up for a bit now...

Going great there JuicyOlive.

Your posts have made me smile.

I too am feeling pretty positive at the moment. Perhaps as the sun as been out, or perhaps the time to lose weight is now!

Another good day here :) I ate slightly too much at lunch, and was slightly full instead of satisfied. My body though, knew what to do and I havent eaten anything since as I havent moved into proper hunger yet. Dinner is cooking now, and I am feeling the hunger starting. I had a lightbulb moment, and thought "thats how naturally slim people are!" They can overeat slightly at times, but then naturally adapt their hunger to it. It's amazing
