@66babe we are not the best at this dieting are we? 😂

73kittycat73 · 30/06/2021 18:43

Aww, that doesn't sound disastrous to me. Every body needs a duvet day once in a while! You need to learn how to be good/nice to yourself, it' really is the key to a lot of things in life. You say your fed up with failing, well, you've stuck to healthy eating for at least two days now. To me that's a plus!
Thank you for your kind words. Smile See, you have empathy and kindness inside you, another plus! Star

I have about 100-150g of crabs a day

Would these be soft shell crabs?..... LOL

Omgggg OP I could have written this myself.

Just can't seem to find the motivation when it actually comes to it. When I'm feeling shit I think 'right, that's it, will do better from now' but then as soon as it comes to it I fail again.

I just need a couple of days in a row doing OK and I think I'll be alright, but getting those days completed is just.....

@Bibidy you and me both, I could have written the op.

So awful isn't it.

The exercise isn't even the problem for me, although tbh I don't do loads. But have been swimming once a week since pools reopened and have re-started Couch to 5k yesterday as my DP wanted to do it too.

But I'm just eating so much shit lately. Went away with family for a UK holiday last week and some of the pictures...Shock. I never really feel like I look that bad until I'm confronted with photographic evidence and think bloody hell, when did that happen???

Need to get back on track with the diet.

Tynks · 30/06/2021 19:04

@73kittycat73 I've got nineteen dogs plus a goldfish that would obviously be coming with me and @66babe plus her cats.

66babe · 30/06/2021 19:08

Hi @Bibidy it's awful isn't it
I will often go to the shop and buy crap to snack on whilst I write down a healthier lifestyle plan ... I've got the walk of shame Saturday morning to the scales at SW and so far had 2 good days and 2 awful days
Need some serious work

So bad...I'm officially "on WW" but I haven't actually followed it properly since rejoining.

I'm not a huge snacker but my problem is takeaways and meals out. Plus my DP will buy me chocolate and I will eat that because it's there, though I mostly wouldn't bother to go out and get it for myself....I've had an Orange Yorkie today on day 1 of trying to be good Hmm.

Doesn't help at all that my DP loves a treat and is generally pretty unhealthy. No excuse I know, but it's hard when someone's waving it under your nose isn't it!!

Bibidy · 30/06/2021 19:14

PS. Hello!! LOL. Sorry, caught up in my fatness rant there.

66babe · 30/06/2021 19:15

Well I don't have that excuse .. I live alone no 17 cats , I had 2 but they both died in lockdown
Could you say to him .. look love I'm feeling fat can you buy me diamonds instead of chocolate.. or at least a nice candle ...
I'm terrible for sweets and ice cream savoury doesn't bother me too much

Aw I'm so sorry about your cats :(

DP's trying to be on a bit of a health kick with me now so I'm hoping he will chill with the sweet treats a bit as I would likely not get them myself.

Problem is he's never done WW or SW so doesn't have the knowledge of how much he could actually have instead of that one chocolate bar or fizzy drink, so then he doesn't get it when I don't want to have it. I feel like it would help him a lot to do one of those plans for a bit but I know he never would. He's also one of those people that wants all the extras with meals, like garlic bread with pasta or naans with a curry, so even when I make healthy meals he ends up adding all that and then it gets chucked if I don't join in with it. Which I should probably let happen but I just can't!! I hate waste and also I'm weak LOL.

Yes!! Never seen it before but got one in Devon.

66babe · 30/06/2021 19:22

A lady brought her husband once to join our fat club , he looked horrified !!! But within about a month he was our poster boy , had all the women's attention, loved all the attention and started wearing nicer clothes etc lol
Threaten him with WW 😂

Tynks · 30/06/2021 19:31

@66babe just think, you could be the poster girl for fat club.

66babe · 30/06/2021 19:36

Oh no .. I'm more of the last in first out kind of gal .. I actually really don't enjoy it at all
Just like the pressure of the scales
Annoys me to pay a fiver for someone to weigh me when I've got scales at home and I find the clapping and "it's fine you've put on 3.5 this week " a bit sanctimonious
Mind you ... I'm 54 and will probably still be the youngest

OP posts:
Tynks · 30/06/2021 19:42

@66babe I would weigh myself and spend the £5 on chocolate.

Laughed out loud at the 'I've put on 3.5lbs and it's fine'

I would get all embarrassed at the clapping thing. I couldn't handle the clapping during the lockdown and I didn't clap. I work for the NHS!

66babe · 30/06/2021 19:43

Oh my days ! @Tynks
We really are twins ! So do I lol
