Ok decided to cut myself some slack today, didn’t log (not that I’ve been doing that either) but have had an enjoyable day of food - cooking dinner now so there’s time for it to go pear shaped but hopefully I’ll finish on day of decent meals and no snacking:
Almond croissant
Tomato soup and French baguette
Baked fish, roast carrots, mashed potato
Glass of wine

And have made a menu plan for the week ahead mainly consisting of soup, will be back on it

[caggie09]

Good idea Kiki, i tried just having soup everyday for lunch but after two days i got bored. I only like Tomato soup though, so i didnt have many options!

Ive weighed in this morning at 10st 9. Will see how it looks by the emd of the week. Breakfast this morn is poached eggs, which will fill mevup for a few hours.

[drspouse]

1lb off last week and 1/4 lb this week (aiming for 1/2 each week).
Extra swimming, loads of walking, and trying (though TBH not succeeding) not to have chocolate in the house!

[caggie09]

Well done you Spouse.
Ive failed already, meals are fine its just the grazing inbetween meals. Grrrr. Tomorrow is a new day!

congrats spouse slowly but surely wins the race

I'm fine during the day - it's the evening when it all goes to shit! Managed 1047 kcals yesterday, am aiming for around the 1200 mark the next few days as that's more manageable and then not worrying too much this weekend. I won't be at my target by the time we leave for Christmas (no way can or should I lose 6lbs in 3.5weeks!) but I can at least lay off the booze~

Had 3 days of 1200 on the trot, it’s been ok but I’m so so so hungry today! I had dinner quite early last night so prepped some overnight oats before I went to bed, thinking I could have them mid morning but it’s 7:20am and I’ve already eaten them! I wanted to keep some calories to have a decent amount tomorrow as I’m doing an all day physical theatre workshop but now wondering if make today a bit more lenient because I’m frankly starving - any thoughts/advice? Maybe if I go to 1500 today then it’s stull a decent deficit, stick to 1200 tomorrow then plan to try to be sensible but not necessarily log over the weekend (doing a cooking class, DS cooking dinner Saturday and we’re at a friends for Sunday!)

[caggie09]

I think up it, because if you starve its likely to set off a binge! If your going to be busy all day and on your feet, you'll need a good meal for energy and you wont feel guilty for putting up your cals because you know you've been active.
I weighed in at 10st 7 this morn, but i dont feel i deserve it because i only logged one day this week Thats sounds silly, but i feel like ive cheated😂

[DeliveredByKiki]

That is silly caggie congrats! Weirdly I do find if I weigh in every day for a while, the days after I’ve eaten a lot I seem to go down on the scales

[DeliveredByKiki]

Alright I did 1350 yesterday and today which feels reasonable and was much more satisfied!

So excited about doing our cooking course tomorrow, learning how to make vegan holiday appetizers! And then DS is cooking - I’m teaching him how to make a white sauce which he wants to do with bacon and pasta (I’ll have mushrooms!)

[caggie09]

Your doing so well!! I am not, ive not been logging. I think because its coming so close to the end of the year i just want to eat and start again in Jan, but im not going to because chances are i wont start again!

[DeliveredByKiki]

Totally understand that

I’ve had a weekend full of delicious food - didn’t bother logging yesterday, did log today and came in just shy of 2000 but also got my period so fuck it.

Back on it tomorrow and am craving a lentil soup made from the veg stock that’s been simmering most of the weekend

[caggie09]

I had a good day yesterday, the first one in ages! I will today too, if i keep mucking up ill just pile weight back on. Im going to measure my body today, but dont think i will have lost any inches.

Mine has just gone Kiki, healthy things just dont cut it when it arrives. Enjoy your soup, i would love a prawn salad so thats what im going to have for dinner later!

[caggie09]

Another good day done only thing i havent counted is advent calendar choc! I know i should, but ill let myself off. No binge, and not snacking that much either between meals. Didnt measure myself because ive lost my tape thing

[DeliveredByKiki]

Well done caggie! I had a total binge evening yesterday :(

[caggie09]

Aw no, its a new day and you've been doing so well so it wont do any damage! I dont buy things i'll know i'll binge on now, share bags of crisps, big bars of chocolate, sweets and whatever else. If i dont have it i cant do it. I know it would end up in me scouring about for anything else to eat, but for now, it works! Dinners cooking away, another good day. Hope its been the same for you too

[caggie09]

Not heard from anyone on here for a while? Is everyone doing okay? I binged yesterday and Sat evening too. I cant seem to stop thinking about cake, chocolate and anything unhealthy. But im trying to behave and not give in!
Hope everyones doing well!

Posted twice, grrrr

[DeliveredByKiki]

I’m in a rubbish cycle and do not really know what to do about it. I log and then binge in the evening, am not even particularly aiming for a set amount just trying to be mindful and then the fuck it button goes off. I’m 6lbs up from when I was last successful, which is my happy weight, 3lbs up from where I normally maintain easily.

So annoying. And I don’t even have wintery weather to blame for comfort eating - it’s bloody 28degress here today!

[caggie09]

Yesterday wasnt my finest day either, i ate until i felt sick and bought food i didnt need. I ate it on my way home from work so when i got home i could eat more without looking a greedy cow im going to weigh later and see were im at. I dont know why the hell im making it so hard to get below 10st 7, one good week would do it but i just cant stick it out

[DeliveredByKiki]

I’m a mega secret eater too! I’m wondering if there’s a big self destruct thing going on and maybe I should just step back from all of it and try to just not think about food at all and just eat what I need when I need it and come back to it fresh in the new year

[caggie09]

Yeah, i think im going to wait until the new year too! Its to close to xmas to be scrapping up meals and counting calories. Hopefully will see you all soon

[caggie09]

Im starting again Jan 2nd, will anybody be coming back?
