Fuck, I've literally ate my way through the last four weeks.

I was already a couple of stone overweight and now I've done loads more damage. All I do is eat and then eat some more.

I'm going to sort my shit out starting tomorrow, anyone else want to join me?

Not too bad a day here either. Toast for breakfast, pitta and baked beans, salad for lunch, veggie bolognaise for tea. Got away with just 5 biscuits, including my beloved custard creams.
Am a compulsive weigher and need to do it every morning after a wee 🤪. Am hoping to have lost something even after I've days efforts - madness! 🤣

OwlinaTree · 16/04/2020 23:52

Sounds good diege.

HouseTornado · 17/04/2020 06:50

OwlinaTree snap! DP has asked me to make his favourite: beef pie and rhubarb cake.....better make sure today is a good one!

Hello my fat friends. I finally screwed up the courage to weigh myself on Wednesday. I am 12 st which is horrific. I am going to knock drinking on the head and do mfp. Been trying to get motivated for ages. Help me!

menthollyinsane · 17/04/2020 07:22

@ImperfectTents well done for being brave and weighing yourself. I was dreading weighing myself yesterday but glad I did as I now know what I am dealing with.

Put yourself on the spreadsheet, hopefully by next Thursdays weigh in we would have lost something.

Thank you @menthollyinsane. I am feeling v motivated right now but I do struggle in the evenings. Good luck everyone

Hello! Can I please join you all? I'm almost 12st after four weeks of mindless snacking (mostly creme eggs). I'm usually mid-11s and always trying to lose the last half stone but I'm desperate not to come out over this with loads to lose. I do run but I'm finding it hard to get that in around wfh and a toddler.

HairyMaclary · 17/04/2020 08:00

Ready for day 2... Yesterday was good, apart from ending the day with a bad headache.

Ready for the same again today. It just takes a while to get used to not eating every half and hour! I still managed 3meals and 2snacks yesterday.

I’m a compulsive weigher so was pleased when I stepped in the scales today, however it’s only the weekly weigh in’s that count.

diege · 17/04/2020 08:13

Hope everything's feeling motivated today? Have a virtuous grapefruit waiting for me in the fridge and will try hard to cut down on the biscuits today. Dd2 has promised to do a Davina workout with me today, so 'on paper' I should get through...
Hope everyone has a great day! My last of booked leave so will be harder not to comfort eat next week when juggling work with 'home schooling' 😆

feelingnervousnow · 17/04/2020 08:16

Day 2! Still feeling determined. Usually Friday would be the day my diet falls apart. Not today though, I guess that’s one bonus of the days all merging into one!

Onthebrink67 · 17/04/2020 08:28

Had a terrible day yesterday there is something about deciding to start a diet that makes me hoover up everything in sight whether or not I’m actually hungry. Still today is a new day and feeling more relaxed about sticking to a better eating plan although not planning to be too strict yet. Good luck to all

ImperfectTents · 17/04/2020 08:32

Basically if I don't do this none of my clothes will fit . Lockdown lasting 3 more weeks gives me a chance to fit back into something other than jogging bottoms

ListenLinda · 17/04/2020 08:33

Need to go shopping, the only bread in the house is white. Will balance it with a fresh salad for lunch.
Done an hours walking this morning dropping the kids off at nursery.
Must resist the biscuits and kids easter eggs while WFH today. Try to drink more that isn’t coffee.
Chilli rice and salad for tea - looking forward to that!

AutumnNymph · 17/04/2020 08:53

Morning everyone! I ended the day yesterday with heartburn and found solace in an icecream tub. I will start my heartburn meds today so that doesn't get in the way.

I didn't sleep until 2 am but for some reason have been awake since the last hour so I fully expect to crash into the bed at some point during the night.

HouseTornado · 17/04/2020 09:06

Morning all! Happy Friday. Or whatever day it is.

Managed to hold it together yesterday, just need to keep up the momentum. Hoping to get DS out for a brisk walk, but it's looking a bit nippy out there!

menthollyinsane · 17/04/2020 09:16

@redavocado welcome to PTCEDYFB and good luck.

Morning guys, enjoying the first coffee of the day. Lots to do today to prepare for the DH birthday. Also need to go to get dad's prescription and shopping. Have to go to Tesco to get prescription etc, hoping they will have sushi I can buy for lunch!

menthollyinsane · 17/04/2020 09:18

@ImperfectTents I am the same with my clothes, I'm bursting out of everything which is what prompted me to sort myself out.

OP posts:
OwlinaTree · 17/04/2020 09:19

I really need a new bra, but I don't like buying without trying on. Going to grab a cheap one in Tesco I think!

menthollyinsane · 17/04/2020 09:20

@Onthebrink67 I am exactly the same. I have to eat all the bad food in the house before I can attempt to diet. Once it's gone it's gone.

Today will be better for you.

Shimy · 17/04/2020 09:23

Thank you all very much for your well wishes. I didn’t come back to the thread yesterday (ate more cake and fell asleep) so only just seeing all your posts Smile apologies if I’ve missed anyone out. @AutumnNymph @JonHammIsMyJamm @diege @HouseTornado @Hileni

Shimy · 17/04/2020 09:25

What do you guys eat for breakfast as a healthy low calorie meal? I tend to make banana smoothie but it seems to have had the opposite effect.

menthollyinsane · 17/04/2020 09:28

@Shimy I never usually eat breakfast as I don't have time but I have been eating bacon and egg sandwiches on white bread with proper butter for the last three weeks. Not today though, or yesterday. I'm hungry already!

OP posts:
Rumandcoke41 · 17/04/2020 09:33

Can I join too? I've been good for a week after getting a shock on the scales last Thursday! I've got at least a stone and a half to lose but ideally 2 stone and a half!! Shock

Shimy · 17/04/2020 09:49

OP that sounds delicious ! But I’d be better not to think about 😁. It’s amazing how easily the stomach adapts to large quantities of food but not other way round Hmm.
