Hi!
life* those buttons wouldn't have survived with me Grin

I've 316 cals left I'm hungry, I'm going to go over cals today not on rubbish just on food

Not2bObvious · 25/11/2020 19:21

I've eaten all mine, gone 23 over and hoping to leave it there. But seriously seriously hungry😩

Here l am Smile thank you for the new thread Not Flowers

lifelongfrugaleer · 25/11/2020 20:23

Thanks not.
The chocolate is at risk.

Not2bObvious · 25/11/2020 20:37

Everything in my kitchen is at risk so I've taken my butt off to bed! Got my last 1,000 marching on the spot.
You asked about stepping on the spot earlier mrs? I'm sure it's not as effective as an outside brisk walk but it definitely helps. Jog/dance/swing those arms, it'll beat sitting down doing nowt for sure. Any activity is positive, well apart from walking to the fridge and eating the contents😂
I'd say step away from the chocolate life but I fear I might be too late.

Mrsmadevans · 25/11/2020 21:39

Ahh yes you are dead right Not anything is better than eating the contents of the fridge! Grin

lifelongfrugaleer · 26/11/2020 07:04

Too late. Ah well it was vaguely controlled. Still on a down ward trajectory probably bloat not fat so ok

Mrsmadevans · 26/11/2020 07:46

Morning everyone 😀
I am off to MumBobs in a bit 😊
No nausea again today yay!!
Have been thinking about feeling hungry , l do have times when l want to shovel food in my mouth and just swallow . Am l mistaking cravings for hunger or vice versa? I have no idea, my eating habits have been so bad over the years, IF is the only thing that seems to give me some control 🙄 the things I have tried in the past 🙄 . Taken to WW @ the age of 10 by my Mother who was so ashamed of me , it's absolute horror stories . Amphetamines from the GP!!! Speed !! My house had never been so clean but the lack of food and sleep is totally unsustainable and it is so addictive!! I didn't get addicted thankfully 😄
It's all so mad! 😀

Not2bObvious · 26/11/2020 08:10

Glad you're seeing a downward trend life, still no morning weigh in here. I, possibly, bizarrely check my nighttime weight - in pj's, have done so for a while. Possibly in the hope that the morning would be much better, rarely was! Even more bizarrely seeing the larger evening weight doesn't bother me. Any-who I think until I see a low'ish night weight, I won't bother with morning. It is going down, very slowly of course. What a surprise🙄
I'd think these days if you feel hunger, you probably are truly hungry mrs, considering the IF you're doing. But I know myself most of my hunger is a cross between boredom/emotions/stress/greed. If I can distract myself, a lot of the time it passes. I know I should/could be hungry when it's been 3-4 hours since my last meal, but 1-2 hours, nah boredom.

Not2bObvious · 26/11/2020 13:30

Ahh crap, had burger & chips for lunch, followed by some chocolate. Some days are way tougher than others for sure. I'll go put it in mfp and see what's left for the day.

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 26/11/2020 14:02

It's one meal not. I've hit the chocolate too

Not2bObvious · 26/11/2020 14:19

Start of a slippery slope...

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 26/11/2020 17:34

Only if you let it

Not2bObvious · 26/11/2020 17:37

Sorry that was to me, not you life, just in case you thought I was referring to you on a slippery slope. Having a down day, been studying and nothings going in. Then still felt stupidly hungry after lunch hence the snaffling of 6 chocs. I reined it in and went for a walk before dinner but I've managed to argue with the teen, have a cry and now I've taken myself away from them all. House is an utter pigsty and I've house envy after gawping at every other lovely house in my estate. They're not all lovely of course but those ones keep their curtains shut!
I'm so sick of being at home, I could scream

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 26/11/2020 20:17

I think we are both on a slippery slope then. Didn't think anything of it not tbh whether to you or me.

People with tidy houses pft that's what I say. Tidy one room.
Big hug for your shitty day from tier 3 land.

Not2bObvious · 26/11/2020 20:22

Right back ya from Level 5😉
Teen and me are ok now, and I scrapped in just under calories. Ok nearly a third of my food was chocolate but I didn't completely lose the plot (yet!)

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 27/11/2020 06:41

Calories are king.

Level 5 - show off Wink

Not2bObvious · 27/11/2020 07:31

Oh I'm all about the levelling up 😂 Now where have we heard that before eh??😉
Ah yeah, I was just relieved to have to stuck to my 1700. Feeling much brighter today, got my hour on the treadmill - hit my 9,000 - good thing really as I'm desk (aka kitchen table) chained for the morning at the very least. Showered, dressed not like a bag lady, small bit of makeup on. Feels very ott for 7.30am but needs must, got to drag myself out of the low level sadness, no one else can do it for me!

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 27/11/2020 09:04

Lol Grin
Bit of make up, why not. I'm desk bound today and mil brings pizza on a Friday so may be s tricky day

Not2bObvious · 27/11/2020 12:59

Made a plate of bits, a bit under 350 cals but decent enough fat/protein so I'll try go nil by mouth til dinner. Thai curry tonight

Hi everyone
So far I've had two potato waffles for breakfast.

Lunch will be a pear and a tuna and sweetcorn extra light mayo sandwich.

Started off by sleeping in, never charged phone last night. Planned scrambled egg for myself and pancakes for dc, scrambled egg out the window thanks to sleep in, made pancake mix, gas ran out, had to make new plans for dc breakfast, put tank of gas into boot, also my lunch and handbag, tank moved and burst a can of monster, haven't checked how bad boot is yet, my lunchbag was soaked, hoping that's the worst of it.

Scales was 12st 7 yesterday morning, 12st 9.5lbs this morning, was driving a lot yesterday so very little water. I could even see I was dehydrated ifykwim

lifelongfrugaleer · 27/11/2020 14:00

Oink oink today is me

Not2bObvious · 27/11/2020 17:33

Oh I hate that happier, I had a can of Coke burst in my handbag once. I was in Arnotts in Dublin and had to run out of the place trailing coke in my wake, morto. Destroyed my lovely tan leather bag😡
I managed to avoid the scales with no hesitation this morning, so that's progress. Managed pretty ok apart from my kids being feeders and saving me some of their lunch, then bringing me a cake home. Ouf, such temptation. Made my snack box which I'd thought of doing last week, it comes up 530 which seems a lot but probably only half of what I'd normally snaffle. Let's see can I still to it.
Might be joining you in oinks yet life

Not2bObvious · 27/11/2020 19:57
