My advice to dieters would be this: don't go to a hip east end pub running a Beer and Bar Snacks festival Confused

So premature. Already off the wagon... Blush

I'm trying to find my motivation. I lost a lot of weight after DC2, I just had the willpower to do it. I ate lots of different things, but I always stayed within my calories using my FitBit. This really worked for me. I'm roughly at the weight I reached post DC2 so at least have maintained that.

What I need is to feel that commitment again!

The issue is I'm an emotional eater. I know that and have been for as long as I can remember. I'm nervous because I'm starting a new job next week, so it's like my appetite balloons. DH can tell as I actually can't eat huge portions, but I eat loads when I'm emotional and he's noticed it he last 2 days (not in a judgey way). Unfortunately there's been a lot of it lately, I've had 3 very stressful months which is when I've put on the weight, although fortunately not too much (5 or 6lb).

Need to focus!

Happy Easter lovely people! Easter Smile

My wagon has rolled down a hill like a runaway egg on Easter morning. Just coming to the end of our school holidays which I have spent pretending I was on actual holiday, ie eating and drinking. 3lbs back on and my head is a bit meh too. But I have a wedding to go to in 3 weeks so I need to catch my runaway wagon and hop Easter Smile on board.

Morning lovely people and happy Easter. Can't do the bunny on the app Sad

Waiting for DD1 to wake up so we can do the Easter egg hunt. Rhyming clues

Got my food planned for the day and hoping to avoid the chocs. I told everyone not to buy me any so I hope they've done as they're told.

I've also massively lost focus. Not going mad but sort of maintaining not losing. I'm in Barcelona in 2 weeks with friends do must get cracking

GREETINGS Slenderistas from Sunny Vermont!

It's 1:30 in the afternoon and I'm already sloshed! Grin

I am truly colossal right now. When I return I'm going to need you guys as I try and regain human proportions... For now though, I have a rhubarb crumble to make for dinner Grin

Oh Vermont! How wonderful. Have an amazing time quim. It sounds like you are doing all the right things

I've just weighed at the gym and I've put 0.4kg on. Ffs. I'm boring myself now. Up and down like a Fiddler's elbow Hmm

I ate an entire easter egg today. 550 calories on top of all the food i ate. oh shit shit shit.

Chardonnay73 · 17/04/2017 00:10

Waves weakly from the Caribbean....
I've spent today being on A tramadol, diazepam, diclofenic and cortisone drip as my trapped nerve in my shoulder had reached pain of epic proportions 🙄
I also projectile vomited all over the drs office 🙄
I've not eaten properly for days and can't drink. Feeling pretty bloody sorry for myself.
This is the first time the wifi has let me get on here, Hope you've all swerved the chocolate! 🙏

FreeNiki · 17/04/2017 00:57

Oh shit Chardonnay. I hope you feel better soon. I have been a pig today. 🐖

That's not good at all Chard, hope the docs can fix you up so you can feel better and enjoy the rest of the time out there. Flowers

Quim enjoy the crumble and everything else.

Niki don't beat yourself up, it's done now but that one thing won't totally sabotage things. Today is a new day. Smile

I was pretty good yesterday and hope to be again today. Back to work tomorrow and back to the routine so that will help.

HairsprayBabe · 17/04/2017 09:26

Feel better soon chard Flowers

I did so well yesterday then ate two brownies at 11pm, 11.1 back on the wagon today!

readyforsunshine · 17/04/2017 09:55

Still here but not progressing Sad I'll join you 30 climbing back on the wagon, have about the same to lose as you.
Hope you feel better soon chard what a miserable thing to happen on holiday.

Softpebbles · 17/04/2017 17:21

Oh no Chard 😔

Well I think I can say I've been 100% off any kind of plan for 3 days. I know this and am back on it tomorrow. I want to feel nice. X

HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It's me Archie - I've been AWOL for April. RL majorly got in the way of posting. How the blazes are you all?

Chard sorry your shoulder is buggered. The drugs sound good although the pain less so. What an absolute shitter for your holiday. Flowers

Quim Vermont + booze + rhubarb crumble sound lovely. Enjoy.

Well done you losers and buck up to the ones who have lost direction.

I am also bouncing around the same weight, I have slightly lost my running mojo but am hoping to regain it today - I am wearing my active wear and have plans for a run.

For those that remember, DH almost completed his cross Australia bike ride, it all ended utterly tragically though with one rider being killed, so the race was abandoned. It has been pretty bloody awful actually. So completely sad. On the upside we raised $30,000 + for our local Children's Hospital (where they saved our dd last year).

So currently getting back to normal, kids on Easter Hols here so off soon to buy new autumn/winter clothes. Even though I've lived here for 10 years I still can't get my head around the seasons being all wrong.

Archie I've just been reading about the guy killed. What an utter utter tragedy.

Archduke · 18/04/2017 00:53

Thanks BOOP, it has been desperately sad. I'm not sure if it's any consolation to his family but the rider was much loved and admired by other endurance cyclists. I will pass on your thoughts. Thank you.

HairsprayBabe · 18/04/2017 06:20

Archie that is terrible Flowers hope everyone is holding up ok, how tragic.

I am currently avoiding the scales as getting back on the wagon yesterday involved pizza, cocktails and haribo apparently Confused Blush
