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 totally get it.

66babe · 27/06/2021 15:54

I'm genuinely fed up
I had such good plans for today but haven't actually eaten any real food at all
I've finished the ice cream, the crisps , the other half of the Jaffa's , the tangfastics that I don't even like though

@66babe I know it's tough, really tough. I don't have the answers but I do know that I have better success when I stay away from the supermarkets and just don't buy the crap. Easier said than done though.

It doesn't help that junk food is ridiculously cheap. Chocolate is my thing, a bar of Cadbury's is £1 in most shops. No wonder I'm fat.

I never overeat savoury food, it's just not my thing.

Probably made worse by me buying extra goodies for DC (25) who had planned to visit for the weekend
However he turned up very late Friday and left Saturday teatime
So 1.. I was a bit gutted 2... a bit pissed off that I'd bought stuff that he wasn't going to eat 3... because I was annoyed I didn't say here take these with you ... now I've eaten them all

@66babe I do this with my three kids. They have left home but when I know that they are coming over I rush off to the shops and buy loads of treats like they are ten years old.

I have two boys that are body image obsessed and always exercise so they won't eat the treats anyway and my daughter basically eats nothing. Obviously I just eat it all.

66babe · 27/06/2021 16:23

You really won't believe this but that is my life 100%
All 3 left home but the second I hear a possible visit coming .. out i go
Cooking preparing buying all sorts of crap
2 boys can eat whatever they like and still look fab
Daughter not so much but doesn't seem to bother her
When I said yesterday will you stay for Sunday dinner or go after breakfast and he said " oh I'll probably get on the road tonight " I could have screamed

Can I join in please even though I was born in 65 🤣. I weighed in Friday at 13.2. Though I’m starting tomorrow as I am going out tonight for the last supper. I’ve downloaded a calorie counting App so that’s obviously all I need to drop three stone ☹️

66babe · 27/06/2021 18:34

Welcome @Cheermonger
Similar weight here .. I don't think downloading god himself would help me right now lol but I'm aiming to try and start again tomorrow now that I've eaten absolutely everything nice the bad stuff in the house

Hi Cheermonger. Smile
66babe it might interest you to read this thread. I started it. I binge all the time. The only thing I have found to work is not having anything in. I know what it's like, you panic at the thought of not having anything sweet in, but trust me, it's better that way.
Besides, one bad day shouldn't stop you, you can try again tomorrow. I remember reading in this section a quote along the lines of, 'Time is going to pass anyway,' what way do you want to use it?
You can do this!!!

Cheermonger · 27/06/2021 21:23

Thanks for the warm welcome, today’s the last day I’m ever going to go out in sz 18 shorts. Honestly, they looked bloody awful but nothing fits anymore. That’s my motivation, I miss being interested in clothes ☹️

66babe · 27/06/2021 21:35

@73kittycat73 I've just read all of that
Funnily enough I've had Hb1AC done recently and was absolutely shocked to my core that I was not type 2 ! In fact they were normal
Don't know how that can be as I think I've been binging on chocolate ice cream and haribos at the slightest hint of upset for at least 30 years
You are correct having nothing in the house is better .. when I can't stop myself I've been known to get in the car and drive to the next village who have a shop and spend a fortune in the coop
I was thinking of shamelessly shoplifting biscuits so I could be caught and banned from there but I'm too embarrassed and then I'd just drive to another one
Just going to read your February thread again thank you

How are you feeling today? @66babe

73kittycat73 · 28/06/2021 11:18

Good luck Cheermonger well done on drawing a line. Star
I'm glad you found the thread useful 66babe. I just wanted to show that it's not all been plain sailing. There are good days and bad, but hopefully, the good outweigh the bad. Don't be so hard on yourself. Perhaps also, instead of thinking 'I'm on a diet,' which just makes you feel deprived and eat everything, think, 'I am eating healthy today.' Less pressure and take it one day at a time?

66babe · 28/06/2021 17:09

Hi everyone , apologies for late arrival to the party but been at work all day
Delighted to report back that I've done pretty well today and have now taken off my bra so will do my best to not set foot back outside the house in search of goodies
Had porridge skimmed milk banana strawberry this morning
A chicken and boiled egg salad made at home for lunch and now home and doing some SW chips to have with a bit of salmon and some asparagus
Who'd have thought it !!!!

66babe · 28/06/2021 17:12

Hope everyone is well and had a good day
Yesterday went tits up due to my immense disappointment and fedupness at my son looking forward to a nice long weekend visit
Appearing and pleading bald and dangerous tyres on car which muggins paid for then he pissed off back down south
Story of my life
Anyway .. no more grumpiness .. saw myself in the mirror today and just thought what the actual hell happened !!!!

73kittycat73 · 28/06/2021 20:17

Yay, well done on the healthy eating!!! Star Star Star You can do this! Can I just say as an aside, how marvellous does it feel to take a bra off?! Grin

66babe · 28/06/2021 20:21

It's like a warm pair of slippers 😂
How was your day @73kittycat73 and where's my almost twin @Tynks

I've been to yoga today. I was really pleased as I've only been doing it 3-4 weeks. At first my balance was really bad. Tonight, bar one new move, I did all the balancing! I'm chuffed about that. Grin

66babe · 29/06/2021 07:03

Good morning everyone ! Here's to another day of not being a pig
Feeling good and got lunch made ready in the fridge to go to work with me , have a lovely day everyone
Feel like I'm still on rock bottom but I'm looking up so that's a start 💐

OP posts:
73kittycat73 · 29/06/2021 10:58

Aww, don't refer to yourself eating as being a pig. You've got to be nice to yourself, it works better that way. Praise yourself for doing things you want to do, ie, 'I ate a really healthy lunch today.'
You're doing so well. Star It's the rock bottom thinking that needs a kick up the butt, not you!

66babe · 29/06/2021 17:21

Thank you .. you are very kind 💐

OP posts:
73kittycat73 · 30/06/2021 11:10

How are you doing today? I'm going for a walk later, the yoga tonight. Still sticking to 16:8. Hope you are OK?

Tynks · 30/06/2021 18:33

Ok, so a disastrous day for me yesterday.

I was so fed up this morning that I got up for an hour, then decided fuck it, I'm going back to bed and I hid under the duvet feeling sorry for myself until 2 o'clock. I've not done that since my teenage years!

I got bored of the pity party for one and got up and put a wash on, had a shower and sorted myself out.

So far today I have been good. I'm just so fed up with this constant failing.

@73kittycat73 you put me to shame, I'm proud of you getting yourself together.

@66babe how are you today?

66babe · 30/06/2021 18:38

Hi @Tynks I'm not far behind you
@73kittycat73 wish I could enjoy yoga as there is a class in the village hall .. but it's not for me , well done to you !
I don't start till 10 tomorrow though so may consider going for a swim before work ...
