It's funny the things that motivate you isn't it? I am just back from a lovely holiday where I ate and drank as much as I pleased and I was sure I'd have gained about 5lbs. I had got very bored with dieting and hadn't been tracking points for the last 4 weeks. I have actually gained just 1 1/2 pounds and I am so pleased that I'm determined to get back into it straight away.

I was doing great - had lost 5 lbs after weeks of hard work. Then last weekend I celebrated my 11th anniversary by going out with hubby for gorgeous chinese & watching a dvd & eating a few erm maybe more than a few Thorntons continental chocs.Anyway I payed for it by putting on 3lbs in one weekend ! Well done Allegra, but I think somehow I've taken some of your weight you thought you should have put on! . So to get me back on track I've decided to do a couple of weeks of the Atkins diet. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has tried it. Is it as good as it sounds in his book?

I have just realised that I should have weighed myself this morning, but I have already had my breakfast.

I WILL do it first thing tomorrow morning. PROMISE

MUMINAMILLION · 03/09/2004 12:32

Well, Artyalex, what I want to know is why did you need a gorgeous chinese when you aleady have a gorgeous husband? And on your anniversary too!!! As you know, I lost 1 1/2 st on Atkins in about 4 wks. Its absolutely incredible how it works but I found it impossible to stay on long-term, and wonder about the health aspects if I did. However, I think any health problems that would arise from staying on the diet may be far outweighed by my staying overweight. The debate continues........ Anyway, Im back on it again and going strong.

Not done very well this week but I'm providing a continual supply of tea, biscuits and cakes for my house guests so its very hard.

I'm a very demented caterpillar
On Friday I ate a Frys cream, an Indian takeaway and half a bottle of wine
On Saturday I ate Wensleydale with Cranberries, crisps, popcorn (masses of), half a spicy tomato ciabatta and half a bottle of wine
On Sunday I ate lots of pastry type nibbles, snacky things and waaaaay too many cocktails to actually remember what I ate
On Monday I ate a chinese takeaway (supposed to be prawns and nothing in batter, DH got me sweet & sour chicken in batter )
Then I felt quite sick
I ate only what resembled a leaf for the next two days
.... and on Thursday I wasn't a Demented caterpillar anymore, I was a bloater!

I've put on 2lbs !!!

Suppose I deserve it!

Roisin, was it this week we were going to start the points tracker thing? I think I need it desperately!

Demented · 03/09/2004 15:13

Aw, thanks! This weekend will prove if I am intelligent or not, whether or not I repeat last week's mistake.

DH and I were going to have an Indian tonight but I am trying to resist and I am going to ArtyAlex's tomorrow night and a takeaway is planned for then. Then I'm swithering about having someone over to dinner on Sunday night, easy hear you say I can control the menu yourself but I start off with great intentions and end up making a cream/cheese/chocolate/butter laden dinner.

Just noticed you are going on holiday, Muminamillion, have a nice time.

Thanks, Im packing at this minute, not really on here (!!!) Artyalex should be doing Atkins, so make sure she's not eating any carbs or she will get a kick up the backside from me.
