Well done icb a pound is good especially if you feel you ate a lot.

It's funny you feel you've put on weight, I have lost a stone and a half but have got used to my body. I saw myself in a shop window on Friday and was horrified at how fat I looked when rationally I know I look better than I have done in years. I haven't got the tape measure out for weeks, last time my waist was still over 35 inches, so might measure it again to see if I've got thinner. I am very bored of dieting so it might give me a boost if my waist was smaller.

Have a down day today Sad i really want to eat that huge pork pie in the fridge plus i already ate a mince pie :( fed up with dieting. Will be fine tommorow. Just on a down day.

TheHumancatapult · 10/12/2012 14:51

Tiggy is it with Xmas coming up ? so hard with all the extra nice food about

Am fed up of dieting without end in site it seems

TheHumancatapult · 10/12/2012 15:20

Johnny funny you say that because I'm exactly the same I am my own worse critic can mainly just see what I have got to loose rather than what I achieved

JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 10/12/2012 18:20

But human how did we let ourselves get like this? I was largely happy with myself until I saw a picture of me in September with about five chins (which have gone now). If only I'd been this critical 5 or 10 years ago. Oh well, I suppose I'm doing ok now.

tiggy I hope your day got better. It is so hard to resist nice food. It will all be worth it when we are lovely and slim. X

TheHumancatapult · 10/12/2012 18:39

Yup Johnny

I look at pictures Thw odd few unavoidable ones taken and think how
Ds1 I bounced back . Ds2 ok but then went to pot with dd and ds3 then marriage break down ,ds 3 Sn accident etc but end of it I realise that basically I just overrate all the wrong stuff

But I know a big change came with finally reporting something that happened in my teens and this time someOne believing me

But one day at a time and were getting there .

tiggy114 · 10/12/2012 19:35

Partly alk the xmas goidies, but my son is SEN and homeschooled and we've had a tough day which makes me want to comfort eat Sad

CheckpointCharlie · 10/12/2012 21:50

Hello all, I put on two pounds, but still am not over 14 stone which is a mega achievement still!

I really hate mince pies so will not be tempted at all. Cheese on the other hand.......

Think my sparkly jumpsuit might stay where it is for a couple more weeks yet...
Am happy though. Nearly the end of term.

Although have the nativity to get though first - aaahhhhhhhh!!!

Hello all

hope you and your children are all better and human i hope the bug didn't spread to all your children.

I have to take dd2 to doctor today she had a slight temperature Friday to Monday and you really don't want me to describe what she's been coughing up. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with her I am such a worrier. It was her 2nd birthday too so we've had 4 days of birthday celebrations, two parties and grandparent visits. I have been so naughty living off cakes and sweets and no proper meals. Still managing 1100 to 1300 cals but in the least healthy way possible. Today I'm going to throw all the remaining sweets away and try to get back on track.

tiggy I hope you're having a better day.

cookieowner · 12/12/2012 15:59

CheckpointCharlie · 12/12/2012 21:24

Happy birthday Johnny Dd

Still house with painted black cross and unclean sign

On bright side my size 16 all to big Grin and reckon holiday weight gone no problem

tiggy114 · 13/12/2012 16:02

Had a bit of a shock today. I never weigh owt so out of curiosity i weighed my breakfast cereal. I have been eating almost 500 cals in cereal every morning !!!!!! I could've had a cooked breakfast for that! I can't believe how small 100 g is! On the upside, i discovered celery only has 5 cals so that may be my snack of choice from now on Grin (till i get bored and can't stand the sight of it)

ICBINEG · 13/12/2012 17:13

wow tiggy that is a shocker! and definitely a wast of good calories on cardboard tasting food :)

I don't eat breakfast for this reason - yes I know I will have to go sit on the dieting naughty step...

JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 13/12/2012 17:16

Hi all

Poor dd2 has a chest infection and is on antibiotics so three times a day she turns into an octopus with endless limbs kicking and thrashing around while I try to get her to take the antibiotics.

Human, that's good news. Sadly I discovered the downside to being thinner today. Phase eight has a 50% sale on so I thought I'd see if I could get a nice outfit for Xmas day. I think half of my wardrobe was bought in a phase eight or monsoon sale. Anyway I couldn't see anything nice in 12 or 14 but loads in 8 or 16!

Shocked Tiggy! Are you going to try something else for breakfast? I love eggs but never have the time to do them so I end having toast every day with a dairy lea triangle as otherwise I put a huge amount of marg or butter on my toast. I tend to weigh carbs as they have such high calories for what they are. So now I tend to only have a couple of oz pasta or today I did a paella with just 1 1/2 oz risotto rice. my real weakness when I started dieting was potatoes and chips but I've cut right down on them (I steal a couple of dh's when we go out)

Happy today as I've been living off cupcakes and sweets for a week. Got a food delivery yesterday and I'm going to eat healthily (and try to have just one cupcake a day!)

tiggy114 · 13/12/2012 17:29

Well i won't be eating THAT cereal again. It's marketed as healthy as well. One of those granola and nuts affairs. I love eggs so would happily eat themevery day for brekkie.

JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 13/12/2012 18:01

Weetabix seems to healthiest cereal but it is DISGUSTING.

Yet dd2 loves it. One of her first words was 'bix bix bix'

tiggy114 · 14/12/2012 08:57

I love bix but only with loads of sugarBlush

TheHumancatapult · 14/12/2012 11:08

YoucanringmySleighBells · 15/12/2012 16:26

Sounds good Human - you are STILL doing so well in DECEMBER Xmas Shock

I am just glad I am veering away from the 13's now when I was so damn close to the 14's a little while ago. By end of Jan hopefully veering towards the 12's. I feel like I can achieve it by small baby steps.
