Weight loss for greedy fuckers

[Choupette7]

Hello, I'm starting a diet today.

The reason that I am fat is I am a greedy fucker with no self control. I massively over eat sweet things, mainly chocolate and cake. I have no cut off point unfortunately.

Just weighed myself and I am 11st 2.5lbs. I'm not very tall, 5'4 and every pound shows and hangs off my stomach and back.

Anyone care to join me?

@PaminaMozart I do get it. I'm really glad that's worked for you. I don't disagree with the theory of that approach at all

I just want posters to feel they have emotional support and understanding here, rather than advice (unless they are actually asking for that).

Well done everyone who is persevering 🙌

Welcome new starters ❤️

Hanging on in there for now!! Just about 😀 well done everyone keep going !
I'm having a jacket potato tonight not sure what in it though yet

Hi everyone and welcome new starters!

still not conducted my post holiday weigh in as by the time I got to my weigh in day my period arrived and I’ve been feeling like a bloated and waterlogged beached whale!
Realised the scales would reflect that massively and had a horrible feeling that if I’d weighed and saw a number that included holiday weight plus period bloat I’d tailspin straight in to “fuck it” mode and eat half the local co-op because I’d think what’s the point/diets don’t work/it’ll cheer me up. As non of those sentiments are actually true or valid, I’ve decided I don’t need to worry about the number and just need to keep plugging away and stay focused. So that’s what I’ve done.
Bank Hol weekend has been quite sociable and food orientated which hasn’t been ideal but I’ve stuck to one gin and slimline tonic per evening, tried to avoid snacking and on the day that lunch was totally out of my control and a beige buffet, I kept portions small and made it my only meal of the day. That’s pretty good for me as usually I’d get one whiff of a pizza slice or sausage roll and the wheels would come off and I’d take the approach the day is ruined so may as well get a takeway for tea etc etc.
suspect all of this healthy eating and exercise malarkey will get massively easier when the kids are back at school and DH is back at work and I’m in a routine, with more time to exercise and no fucker to sabotage my efforts by buying boxes of magnums “because it’s the holidays” 😂😂

The wedding I’m due to attend is this coming weekend so this week requires a big push as I want to feel my best (or at least the best it’s possible to feel when you’re carrying excess weight!) will be doing my utmost to stay on the straight and narrow more so than ever this week 😇😇😇

Righr, am here and ready to try again now. Last week was GCSE results and the anniversary of my Dad's passing so no chance of not stress eating!

Started today and have had a big chicken and bacon salad for lunch (with croutons for the crunch) and steak, roast med veg, feta and couscous for dinner. Leftover veg and couscous in a tub to base tomorrow's lunch on. With snacks, I am slightly over the calories but 130g protein and feeling good for day one.

Have also cleared my wardrobe out and put things that are slightly too small in one pile to the side. Looking forward to getting the back on hangers soon.

I had half a ton of Suma baked beans with the jacket was yum

Haha Freudian slip there half a TIN

great losses everyone !! I haven’t weighed since Friday morning as we’re away - but scared that by the end of the holiday week I’ll have put it all back on - but I can’t afford to put it all back on as I’m just over 2 weeks in and feel like the healthier mindset is just starting to get easier! Did a run yesterday but on the other hand did eat a LOT of sourdough with salty butter because it was AWESOME and only one small glass of wine (which for me is good for holiday !)

Haven’t dared weigh myself but have been spurred on to drop my morning glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and skinny cappuccino and it’s really helped to dull my hunger pangs.

Hi all.

I agree that sometimes it's very sensible not to step on the scale, if you know that can be a "fuck it" trigger.

I've had a bad day today, tricky work stuff which has led to a binge.
Need some moral support!

Congrats to everyone who's lost.. I'm just being me with my lasagnas and pizzas and I've also had an hospital appointment today where I've been told I have a high chance of being insulin resistance 🤣🤣🤣
I'm flying abroad this weekend so I'm starting after I come back

@Weightsquestion - have a hand hold ❤️
I'm sorry you've had a hard day.

Don't beat yourself up about the binge. Please be gentle with yourself.

Yes @Weightsquestion, tomorrow is another day

Thanks both so much. The binge carried on but back on it tomorrow.

I hope today has been easier for you @Weightsquestion

I'm still struggling a bit with general parenting, family stuff, SEN DC so my motivation is not high 😬

However, I'm continuing to plod on with moving more and trying to be gentle with myself.

Well done, it's all gone a bit quiet on here hasn't it.
Yeh I've had a good food day today and a much better work day!

I'm flying back from my break today and back to work and my routine tomorrow so I need to food plan and get back to my routine.
Weve walked (and danced) many many steps these last few days but also enjoyed lovely breakfast buffets and dinners. No lunch in the middle but I'm sure I will have put a few lbs back on that I will curse myself for.

I've put another request in for a referral for the NHS 12 weeks of slimming world as it has been a year since I did that and it doesnt say you can't do it more than once.

Today is a new day - don’t beat yourself up for yesterday and keep plodding on!! I wish I had scales here so I could check in with myself !! Was planning to get up at 6 to run but it’s raining and I didn’t fancy it after waking up lots last night (I know - excuses excuses!). Going out for dinner tonight and will try not to go crazy! Back home tomorrow so can get back on the routine !!

That happens to me too!
so hard to lose yet so easy to put back on just one night!
I have a couple occasions coming up too :/
(I’m also 42 btw!). But we got this!

Morning all!

I stood on the scales this morning and there was a small loss. So I'm happy I continued to plod on and didn't stuff my face like I was tempted to.

I've worked hard at healing my relationship with food, since having my first DC (11 years ago). I was real binger and restrictor previously, since pre-puberty when I look back.

I still get urges to binge at times but I am able to stop part way through or as I start. I sort of snap out of it. I am also generally able to eat normally at my next meal, rather than restricting. All big things for me.

What sort of food are you all having?

Hey everyone, haven't updated in a while.
It was all going so well and then yesterday I was on a day trip and was really hungry so we went to the restaurant, I could have ordered the chicken Caesar salad but no, I gave in and ordered the hamburger with garlic chips.
What's worse is , I ordered chicken nuggets and chips for my son and he barely ate his and so I started eating some of his as well even though I was completely stuffed. I was totally out of control.
And even though it was delicious, I was annoyed with myself after for going back to my old ways and not having the strength to just not bother going to the restaurant or just order the salad ffs.
So I'm back up to 11 stone, when I started posting on here I was 11 stone 2. So all is not lost!
It is definitely not a linear journey for me, it's more like an ongoing saga that has been going on for years..
@Amethyst2023 glad you can relate, the amount of effort and willpower it takes to lose a couple of pounds is staggering , for me anyway!

Am I too late to join- just seen this thread and read so many posts that sum up my life as a greedy fucker who understands what not to eat but is incapable of actually following the advice. Just come back from holiday and feel pretty dreadful looking at the photos of my round shiny face and flabby body
