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

Hello @66babe ! I'm just starting two weeks of badly needed leave during which I have no intention of counting calories! I will get back to it afterwards.

I think you shouldn't berate yourself too much. Do things that make you feel better like a walk or a Pilates class. Im never going to be size 10 again but actually I'm not bothered about that.

I need to stay off the bread and butter to look after my gut and cholesterol. I need to keep my creaking joints moving. And big knickers. I need big knickers. Thunder Pants are my top tip!!

66babe · 01/07/2021 08:44

Awwww @73kittycat73 . So sorry to hear you not been feeling well better out than in
This isn't actually funny at all so I will not be making any more jokes
I've done similar and I know this increase and decrease in BS is really unhealthy .. are you Diabetic kitty ? I assume so as you check your sugars ?
I tend not to get the upset stomach but it's more a head thing for me
I get dizzy to the extent I worry I could pass out so always lie down in bed or floor till it passes ... terrible behaviour from a health professional I know .. stupid ... this usually comes after a binge session of chocolate and other crap
Which I had the answer .. hypnosis ?

Enjoy your AL @00feckingbollocks
May the sun shine - the rain pause - the wind only blow the washing - the family behave - and the scales be kind
We'll be here for your return

Are they full of sugar .. if not maybe better to having them than hoovering up cream eggs when is Easter coming[/quote]
I don't just have 1 or 2, I eat the whole pack in a couple of hours 😳

66babe · 01/07/2021 08:52

What's taking you so long @Joe50 ? 🤣
Do they do a low sugar version?
I really don't think that's so bad , is it?

Tynks · 01/07/2021 09:03

@73kittycat73 oh love! 🌺

Tynks · 01/07/2021 09:09

@66babe you are supposed to be in your bikini, not scoffing Twirls in bed. You said Twirl but I'm guessing it turned into Twirls. I love your honesty.

66babe · 01/07/2021 09:13

Too late now ... but I have had a shower and getting ready to start at 10 ..WFH today and marking contraception assignments ... yawn
Have a good day everyone 💐

Yes to big knickers 00feckingbollocks! Grin Much more comfy than those skinny things, like thongs. Shock
I don't mind a bit of gentle ribbing 66babe. Smile Yes, I am a type 2 diabetic. It's quite good really, binges don't usually have this effect on me, and I also stopped last night because I felt sick. That normally never happens. So it's a good warning not to do it for a while again. My body must be changing?
Thanks Tynks. How are you today?
Hope you all have a fabulous day!

@73kittycat73

You and Tynks and all the cats and goldfish too are very welcome, but beware the crabs. (Lol, thank you FlowerArranger ]grin] ) It's only a small one bed flat so we might need to extend... Hi Bibidy nice to meet you. I suppose I'm lucky in that I live alone (Mum lives next door though!) and don't have anyone to tempt me with cooking or goodies. I don't know if I could pass up on too much chocolate being offered. I did have a moment a while ago where I did actually pass up on something sweet (I have a mega sweet tooth too, savoury I can take or leave.) and I felt like the Elve queen in Lord of The Rings where she resists and overcomes the power of the ring.
Loool love this. I need that elf power for sure.

Yes my DP is definitely a big part of my downfall for sure, although obviously it's mainly my fault for having no will power.

ChinnyMcChinnerson · 01/07/2021 15:12

I did really well on SW years ago but dh turns his nose up at my cooking at the best of times let alone when I'm doing all sorts of substitutes that sound insane to an outsider. (Diet Coke chicken anyone) so I fully blame my fatness on him and not my lack of control or emotions.

66babe · 01/07/2021 18:27

Yes and bloody Fanta chicken
Sounded like such a good idea when it came in fashion ... what I was left with ... congealed chicken with fat on the top swimming in brown water !! Oh and random bits of soggy mushrooms
Vile

Evening all, how's your day been?

I have been an absolute saint on the food front. I've been home today getting my dishwasher fixed so took the opportunity to do loads of cleaning. I'm knackered.

It's so nice sitting back and everything around me is clean.

I had a lovely half hour sanding the hard skin off my feet! So satisfying and now my feet feel so soft, also painted toe nails. Quite the transformation.

66babe · 01/07/2021 20:27

@Tynks I will be doing that prior to scales Saturday at SW .. I'm sure if I did that and shaved my legs I'll be down at least 5 lbs !!!!
Glad to hear you've had a saintly day and kept moving .. mine not so great but could have been worse
😩

I'm seriously upping the female admin. Tomorrow will be leg shave day and eyebrow sorting.

That's just what I admitted to!

I was all set to have a good day today, got dh to agree to soup for dinner this morning so I treated myself to a McDonald's breakfast thinking I was going to be well below cals with just soup for dinner..I had huge fish cakes and chips for dinner as he didn't 'fancy it' for soup so I'm well over cals and doomed to fail for one more day.

I've been having the most painful cramps all day and I've been up since 4am so I didn't have it in me to resist..

66babe · 02/07/2021 06:59

We are NOT failing at this !!!
It's just delayed success

I also crumbled miserably in a heap of depression into a tub of Ben and Jerry's and some haribos last night for tea
The omelette stuff will be chucked in the bin same as most weeks

Not much point me going to fat club tomorrow , most first weeks people will get good numbers ... she'll probably be asking me to empty my pockets

Totally fed up and losing the will ...

@66babe it's awful isn't it. You can make today better though.

73kittycat73 · 02/07/2021 11:30

Nice work there Tynks, with the kitchen and the feet! Grin Do you go in Sporners Corner? I do, love a bit of sporn.
Hi ChinnyMcChinnerson cramps are the worst aren't they? So painful. Sad I hope you feel much better soon. Don't worry about one meal, you can start again today, cramps permitting. Flowers

^We are NOT failing at this !!!

I love that! Really positive. Smile I wish you well for today. You can do this! Star

Tynks · 02/07/2021 15:44

@73kittycat73 no, I'm not really a sporner but I did find myself following a recent thread with the lady and the underarm boil.

66babe · 02/07/2021 16:17

What kind of people am I associating with here?🤣 mind you - you've reminded me when an obvious scammer was trying to chat me up on Fitbit and I was asking him if he could me with my elbow bunions .. it was hilarious
I wanted to send pics and everything .. he was of course more interest in how much he loved me

YESSSS this is my DP too. He is quite fussy and particularly with vegetables tbh so it makes doing SW/WW meals harder.

Can't blame them completely obvs....but they defo don't help.

73kittycat73 · 02/07/2021 19:41

Lol, I saw that one Tynks, must go and catch up on what happened.
Wow, what a charmer he sounds 66babe! Hmm
