This is a thread for all those embarking on, continuing and returning to Sole Source type Diets.

For some of us, its the only way to go. As the saying goes "it works if you work it".

Hi, another 4lb off so 26 pounds in 4 weeks Grin

I need to drink more too.

You feeling ok now?

PenisColada · 29/10/2012 19:08

Wow well done. 26lb in 4 weeks ! You must be delighted. Have you noticed a difference in your clothes ? Have people noticed yet ?

I feel fine now. Strangely not hungry at all. Most odd for a compulsive eater of 20 years experience [hgrin]

ChestyNutterStaringInTheWindow · 29/10/2012 20:04

No noones said anything yet Hmm
Uniform feels lots bigger.

Once the ketosis kicks in hunger goes away.

Hi everyone! You are all doing so well, congrats on the great weight losses.
Don't know who I was kidding that I would be good while on hols and was just awful. Feel pretty crap about my lack of self control, but I'm getting back on plan and hope I can repair the damage soon. Must stick with it this time.

PenisColada · 31/10/2012 16:32

laura you can let go on holiday !

Hope you are managing to get back on track.

I am doing ok, it has caught be by surprise how emotional not eating is for me. I never really understood the whole emotional eating thing before. I really neded to do this to move away from over eating.

ChestyNutterStaringInTheWindow · 01/11/2012 17:43

Aaaaargh!

Am really struggling this week! Monday and Tuesday were a disaster Sad
Have spent all day debating with myself wether to eat or not and making excuses in my head.

I haven't since Tuesday and at home in pjs but in a terrible sulky arsey I want to eat mood.

Sort me out ladies Thanks

PenisColada · 01/11/2012 21:43

I had a real nettle today. I was so close to eating but it boils down to the fact that if you cheat you will be back to square 1.

I sort of mentally run through cheating then how bad I will feel after . The feeling bad and ashamed of myself will last longer than the quick pleasure of eating so I resist .

You have done so well chesty don't spoil it now. Do you know why you are struggling at the moment ?

PenisColada · 01/11/2012 21:44

Battle not nettle.

I did not eat a nettle today honest

ChestyNutterStaringInTheWindow · 01/11/2012 22:00

I really don't know why it's so hard this week Sad

PenisColada · 02/11/2012 13:24

How are you doing today chesty ?

eviecakes · 02/11/2012 14:32

Hi everyone, cant believe we are heading into another weekend again. Last weekend was a real test to my willpower, our trip to the coast was great although we were battered with high winds and showers but i can feel very proud of myself and say I did not fall off the waggon!! Thats not to say that I i didnt find it difficult at times especially the aroma of salt and vinegar on everyones fish and chip suppers Friday evening. Thinking of my previous weeks weight loss (5.5lbs) help'd me stay focused and the moments of weakness soon passed.I only managed a 2.5lb weight loss on Tuesday but that brings me to 26lbs loss now :)
Having read all your comments everyone seems to be getting good results so well done.
Chesty I really do sympathise, are you hormonal this week?? sometimes our emotions get the better off us and with all our good intentions sometimes we have to give in. but then you pick yourself up and start a new day.Dont beat yourself up about it you have done brilliantly so far noone said this would be a quick and easy journey. Peniscolada is right tho the quick pleasure of eating does not last long..... when the feeling strikes think of all of us and know that our support is here for you.
Laura how are you doing? have you managed to get back on the right track? When is your weigh in day?Hope you havent done too much damage.
Im going to log off now and enjoy a hot chocolate shake , feeling a little cold today so hopefully it will do the trick :). Good luck for the weekend girlies x
