NOW, or NEVER, no EXCUSES thread part 4.

[Tortoise]

Here we are, thread 4 .
Time for me to have a large kick up the arse and lose weight! (After Easter!)

You're not your.

He knows I'm trying to lose weight but I'm sure he doesn't think I can do it, not surprising when I've failed so many times and getting to the point of not believing I can do it myself . I wish I had the strength to bin in. My brother did offer to eat it! I too struggle with not wasting food.

I wish I knew why I am such a failure .

Tort you are not a failure. Losing weight is hard, that's why there are hundreds of threads with people struggling to do it. And trying to lose weight without the support of your bf makes it even harder.

Are you good at confrontations? Next time bf gives you something like that, after you've said no I would throw it in the bin in front of his face and say you didn't want it. Even if you get it out of the bin when he's not looking he'd hopefully not do it again.

Good luck tomorrow, you really deserve to lose. You are doing so well with the exercise and smaller portions.

I know there will be no loss tomorrow.
Next time i will make it clearer that i don't want chocolate. I couldn't bin it in front of him, i think i would be hurt if was the other way round.
I just have to be stronger, i just don't feel strong at the moment. Why does it have to be so hard to lose weight! It's so easy to put it on.

Some how I stayed the same weight.
Happy that no gain. Wish was a loss though.

Well done not putting in Tort and your right it is hard

3lb on this week but that's expected was out weds/frid night and then Chinese buffet Sat night for a 50th .

So couple fast day coming up

Well done johnny that's some acheivment

That's good tort, just be strong when bf tempts you. Just give it back to him. Or give to your brother.

2lb loss for me, which is the biggest in ages. So 10 st 7.7. Really pleased as I went out lots last week and must've made some good choices.

Well done johnny .

Well done johnny

I did not make good choices but I enjoyed the wrong choices

Well I got back down to my lowest but then had birthday meals out etc. at my parents (DF is 65) and put 4lbs back on. So hopefully this week will follow the same pattern...and I will be back down to 'normal' by next Monday.

Would still like for 'normal' to be 4 lbs lower but hey.

My sister was super jealous in an amusing way...she has always been the skinny one in the past :)

Several people who have seen me maybe once a year in the past actually failed to recognise me...or mistook me for my skinny (5 years younger) sister...so lots of positives to take away as well as the 4lbs exra baggage....

Nice one johnny and tort!

johnny - you are so very nearly there!

tort - you are also nearly there in terms of tipping it over into long term losing. Sorry your BF is not on board yet...but it is hard for them..because suddenly we are sometimes saying 'no I shouldn't' and actually meaning it. Me and DH had to develop a new 'code' so it was clear when no meant no and when no meant I will slash my wrists if you don't find me chocolate right NOW.

I have a really bad headache today. Trying not to snack but I did have 7 jaffa cakes earlier! Normally would have been the whole packet!

ICB Luckily he doesn't buy me chocolate very often. It was just because I'd looked after his spotty DS!
Sounds like a nice compliment being mistaken for younger sister .

Ooh icb were you we're wearing that dress? I told you that you looked fab in it.

Tortoise I hope the headache goes.

Had a lovely beef stirfry tonight, only about 250 cals. I need to be good as it's dd1s birthday next week and it will take all my willpower not to eat all the haribos and other treats I've bought. Would be awesome if I could meet target (10 st 5) next week but I suspect I won't be that lucky.

Hmm and now I'm craving Jaffa cakes.

Johnny Its my DD1s 10th birthday Friday and my brothers too. Then my aunties on Sat (lives miles away so won't actually see her!) and then it's my bfs birthday Sunday!

Icb

I hope you enjoyed it you deserved it after all hard work

Tortoise hope your headache gone and well done not finishing packet ah seems our dd not far apart in age mine was 10 few months back

Johnny hope dd enjoys

Going have a second fast day to try undo my 5 days of eating and drinking to exvess last week .
Am back to upping the water and working out as had let in drop so going try three times a week

Woken up without headache but throat is sore, nose runny and sneezing. Feeling pretty rough right now.

Oh no Tortoise

Mind sure this stupid weather not helping with how changes

yup it was the dress :)

am working up the courage to wear it to work....people will probably pass out at the sight of me in a skirt let alone a dress..

sorry you are en-colded tort!

ohh I forgot to take my photos down!

Sounds like you're the opposite to me icb. I used to live in dresses, partly because I'm lazy and it's just one item to put on, and partly because I thought they were more flattering to my larger figure. Now I wear jeans a lot and I saw a friend on friday who observed that in the fifteen years she'd known me she'd never seen me in jeans before.

does happy dance i just paid last bit of holiday of now to make sure dont put on weight gulp

ah im a jean person no matter what size been .Though saying that i did wear skirt other day

Yay well done Human.
I still have to pay my holiday up and dogs holiday care! If I could just get some items sold on Ebay it would help!

Just need to have a moan! Started taking mini pill just over a month ago. AF was a week early, lasted 2 weeks. Now, today, AF has reappeared .

Ugg hopefully it settle down . I have the mirena coil and think I've had oh 4 periods in the last 5 years and they only couple days

Tortoise only because knew had stuff need pay next month and it due early July so running out of time

On and have next sales in July I want some shorts and summer dress to

I had the mirena until Dec. Was due to be removed. Think would have been better just to have had another put in but thought would try something different!
