Hit rock bottom

[66babe]

Feel fat bloated sweaty ugly unfit and just bloody awful
Have been trying forever to become motivated and do better .. but I can't seem to get into the right frame of mind
I know exactly how to eat healthy
I know exactly how to move more
Just need a massive kick up theatre to get me going ...
I've hit rock bottom so just finished off 4 cookies to make me feel better 😩😩😩
If it wasn't so pathetic it would be funny

@66babe I am proud of you. Well done. You will sleep well tonight.

@73kittycat73 my Mum said to me yesterday that she thought my belly had shrunk a little, I hope that you measure less on Sunday.

Yesterday's self improvement was a haircut and earlier today I went and had my teeth whitened. At this rate I'm going to be on love island. 😂

@Tynks tell me more !!!! I asked about this on another thread , I'd LOVE to have my teeth whitened !!!
Don't know about Love Island but if there's a granny flat in Casa Amor it's mine !

@66babe well it didn't really hurt but feels super sensitive. They have to check that your teeth are suitable. Apparently if the enamel is wearing thin on older teeth you won't get good results so then they wouldn't do it, but my enamel was ok. Good knows how with all the sugar I consume. If you have fillings they won't change colour and also if you have crowns they won't whiten either. I have two silver fillings but had them changed to white ones. I have one crown which I didn't want to replace as it's really expensive and it's right at the back so doesn't show. Took about an hour and half but that included getting the white fillings replaced.

Apparently I've got age related enamel yellowing but they not too bad
Also have 3 silver fillings and a crown at the back

Did you have bleaching ? Laser ?
Was it a one off treatment or do you need to sleep in something like Hannibal Lector ?

Thank you 66babe. How are you doing? (Did anybody else read that in Joey's voice?! ) I'm sure you are doing fantastically, specially with all those steps done!
My Ocado delivery comes tomorrow, hopefully all that lovely food I ordered is in stock. Can't wait to try it, something with flavour! I've been existing on Slimming World chips, whilst not bad occasionally I was getting a bit bored with them.
How long does the sensitivity supposed to last Tynks? That's what puts me off whitening my teeth. I have super sensitive teeth anyway (Gum recession from years of over brushing. Used to have a really bad dental phobia and tried to keep my teeth as healthy as possible.).

I had laser, I didn't want to use those teeth trays with the gel. My sister used the trays and her teeth went really patchy.

My teeth feel like when you have been to the hygienist and have had half an hour of that awful sonic plaque blaster thingy that they use, they feel sensitive but I hope that will go away. I'm only allowed water for a few hours. The whitening should last about six months.

My daughter uses those crest whitening strips. Her teeth look great but they are really sensitive now.

Sounds fab , I'd love to do it and if I only drank water I'd not want the biscuits that go with the coffee .. win win

@66babe I don't think that I will keep up with the whitening. I'm just doing stuff to try and make me feel better, but honestly, losing weight is what I need to do to feel better.

I really need a full body restructure 🤣

I think that I should have gone for teeth and jaw wiring instead.

You are doing exactly the right things
Hair restyle , teeth whitening , on the right track with weight loss
Honestly .. such a fab boost
Did the kids leave me any of those cookie biscuits last night ?

No @66babe sorry the biscuits all got scoffed and I didn't participate. It's my weigh day tomorrow, fingers crossed. It's only been two weeks, it feels like forever.

I'm hoping it gets easier @Tynks
As your stomach shrinks and you make new habits ... perhaps we will find a new love for Pink Lady Apples
Seriously .. you are doing fab !

I doubt with my super sensitive teeth I could eat an apple 😂. Why can't I be addicted to artichoke hearts or maybe a nice crisp lettuce

Good luck for weigh in @Tynks
Forgive me if I've got this wrong I've got a memory like Nemo
With your 4lbs last week I think you went down to the 10's? That's bloody amazing ! I'd give my yellow back teeth to be in the 10's

What are you up to this weekend @73kittycat73

Where have all our other hopeful dieters gone
@Amdone123 @Aria999 @Bibidy @ChinnyMcChinnerson @Cheermonger @donerwillbehere @FlowerArranger @Greenmarmalade @Joe50 @MsTSwift @muddledmidget @Notthissticky @Slimmingstar @Twigletgirl27 @Whiteinsteadofcream @Xenia

Please come and let us know how you are doing ! I need all the help I can get 🤭

@66babe, Morning ! It's my wedding anniversary so adios Mr Diet and Hola Mr Pinot !
Sorry not had time to read the recent posts , but hope you're all well !

Please may I join?

The 1206 at the end of my name thankfully does not relate to my year of birth 🤣🤣 I am (just about) a child of the 80’s and with my big 4-0 looming ever closer, I no longer wish to be a lardarse!

Have lost and gained more times than I care to mention over the years, and at the start of the pandemic I was a hideous 15 st 10lbs. Had no desire to die and leave my little DD without a mum and am now 12.8 (but even that wasn’t straight forward as have stopped and started several times and gained lots that I lost only to have to re-lose it!)
Went a bit wild from mid May to now when measures were relaxed and we could see people/eat out etc and also had a little holiday etc too. Restarted last week but then had my second jab on weds and was a bit poorly and just wanted to eat beige carbs as I felt so sick!
As you can tell, I’m much better at making excuses than losing weight!!!
So I weigh in on Sundays - it stops my “ooh it’s Saturday night let’s get pissed, order a takeway and swim in a bath of chocolate oranges” mentality (sometimes!)
I really want to lose at least another stone to bring my BMI out of overweight and in to healthy, any more would be a bonus.
Would love some accountability, but in a fun, realistic and lighthearted way, not an “oh I’ve only eaten salad this week; run every day and lost 3lbs and am now back in my size 6 jeans” kind of way….
Could you be my tribe??!🤔🤔🤔

Happy anniversary @Amdone123
Enjoy , it's only one day
@Hartleyhare1206 ... consider yourself "branded" welcome to the tribe
I've yet to meet anyone who could beat me in the game of excuses 🤣 but loving the thought of swimming in Terry's chocolate Jaffa oranges ! How healthy , think of the Vit C !

Have a lovely weekend everyone

@66babe surely the swimming would also count as exercise too???

@Hartleyhare1206 absolutely ! Thank goodness there is a KFC next door to my gym
Must be careful not to deplete those protein stores
Think you'll fit in very well here , well done on your weight loss so far

Hmmm depleted protein….haven’t thought of that….maybe should have a fry up for breakfast to be on the safe side…the meat, eggs, and baked beans would actually be good for my health.

You are soooooo my people 🤣🤣

@Tynks

No *@66babe* sorry the biscuits all got scoffed and I didn't participate. It's my weigh day tomorrow, fingers crossed. It's only been two weeks, it feels like forever.

Wow, that's some restraint there! I don't know if I could have resisted, well done! Very good luck to you for tomorrow, sounds like you've been doing everything right though. Hi Hartleyhare1206. Congratulations on losing 3st 2lb, that's amazing! Are you weighing in tomorrow too? Hi 66babe. I have a very quiet weekend this week. Just getting shopping delivered, exercising, and watching the tennis. Rock n roll baby! lol You have any plans? Good luck for your weigh in tomorrow, I'm sure you've smashed it.

Thank you Kitty
Not bothered about the tennis but will be watching the football even though I'm not English
I do support them always once I've been kicked out of whatever sport it is 😂😂😂😂

@73kittycat73 yes I’ll be weighing tomorrow. Not overly optimistic as I’ve spent 3 days post jab feeling utterly shite, hardly moving and scoffing toast, crisps and potato waffles as I can’t stomach proper food.
Feeling brighter today though so given myself a boot up the backside and took the dog for a walk and attacked some house work. Had fruit and Yog for breakfast and planned beans on granary toast with chopped veg sticks for lunch. Not optimistic about dinner as haven’t had chance to food shop and won’t be able to until tomorrow as DH at work and I refuse to food shop with a 4 year old in tow 🤣 DH was already petitioning for a takeway at 7.30am this morning so have a feeling that’s how it’ll end up. Will just try to pick wisely. My biggest problem is not being able to draw a line under a bad few days and getting back on the waggon -
The urge to say it’s been a shit week so may as well keep being shit and stuff my face with all the food tonight is strong but i know I need to be better than that and nip it in the bud and not keep prolonging the problem or I’ll just get fatter not thinner!!

For me this is acton plan (though not the baked beans cos sugar)

Must be fried in butter or olive oil though

Actually on plan not acton plan. Autocorrect is mad.
