NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING SLIM FEELS

[SuSylvester]

old thread too big.

WelCOME all to the no mercy school of short term dieting.
everyone is doing their own thing wiht amazing results.

remember think when you contemplate hoggery

" eating it wont make me happy"
and vivsualise that perfeectly fitting waistband or long slim legs in the summer.

Well no, I was giong to diet as well not rn and then come home fora big tub of haagen dazs

well breakfast WAS going to be cereal

but was m.sandwich

lunch will be carrots, cabbage, 1 roast pot and 2 quorn sausages

dinner will be butternut squash risotto made with ZERO fat and a tablespoon of parmesan

Fruit if want to snack

don't hoover up childrens food!

How to take back control
Plan when and what you will eat There should be no room for deviation; the idea is to inhibit mindless eating and eliminate your mental tug-of-war. Once you've set new patterns, you can become more flexible.

Practise portion control Eat half your usual meal; see how you feel one and two hours later. A just-right meal will keep away hunger for four hours.( this is my goldilocks principle)

List the foods and situations you can't control Cut out those foods; limit exposure to those situations. If offered something you overeat, push it away. Talk down your urges Learn responses to involuntary thoughts: eating that will only satisfy me temporarily; eating this will make me feel trapped; I'll be happier( and weigh less if* I don't eat this.

Rehearse making the right choices Before entering a restaurant, imagine chosing a dinner that's part of your eating plan. Think of this as a game against a powerful opponent. You won't win every encounter, but with practice you can get a lot better.
WHAT GOOD ADVICE

That's the thing, I don't usually

I was v pissed off that I did IYKWIM

Usually i just bin it

yes

remember the feeling on scales when you have lost

put thaty in your head TIGHT.
then when looking at a ketchup smeared oven chip haul it OUT

exercise does help because if you build muscle you can eat more
let's face it we would all like to eat more without getting larger

DH's mate told me recently he used to be over 19 stone

He is tall though (over 6') and he said he wasn't fat AT ALL, it was whebn he was "training" (he is a black belt martial arts something or other )

Don't swoon MamaG, dh is nearly a black belt in TaeKwonDoe and as far I can tell it is basically kicky line-dancing in pyjamas.

LOL

you have just completely burst my bubble there

I love fruit until I am on a diet and then it tastes sour

haha I'm the sawmen oddy

LOVE fruit

then diet time - BAM - urgh, a tangerine

God what was that first line?

SHOLD BE "I'm the same noddy"

no idea what sawmen are

I'm still giggling at kicky line dancing oin PJ s and fully intend to casuallhy mentino that when next se mate

in a fit of optimism i tried on my fav summer trews from 2 years ago. they didn't even do up, why did i let this happen sob!

keep the faith BO, they will fit by summer

I bought some trews at the end of summer last year and put them away

was V pleased as theyu were 2 sizes smaller than I had been

I dread to th ink how far down my l egs they'd get stck

I am determined thery will fit me this summer

OK the plan today

just had milkless tea, dry special k and raisins
Lunch - big salad, oatcakes
Dinner - hmmmm could be a prob. roast lamb, tincy bit of mash maybe, cabbage, carrots. But i am having gravy dammit.

Going for quick walk in a min - down to our village - is about 3/4 mi but down a 1:6 hill so a good workout coming back.

Look forward to trying them on again in three weeks. That's what I do. Keeps me focused.

Today is going to be hard. I was up at four. I am always really hungry when knackered.

Big prob though - I did something foolish yest. I bought a Butter Dish. Am thoroughly hoping I can resist Real Butter on thick white slices..

I am now going too see some friends so the DC can cook pancakes.

Anyone else getting that weird thing when people LOOK at you when you say no thanks to food? I feel compelled to tell them I am dieting for some reason, then feel embarrassed as they all assess my flab.

MamaG I find running i about the only exercise that does work for me with weight loss, esp if i do a few long steady-paced runs a week mixed with a few shorter sessions of interval training.

I'm not grim or anorexicy, honest - but will depart the thread as don't want to anger anyone with inappropriate weight loss goals

i'm not feeling any anger, ltec. just concern.

no no sorry, wrong choice of word.

thanks though LSEDL

I see we have a new thread, hooray.

Are we signing in?

Am going to anyway as am so chuffed. Am now 10st 10. Was 11st 3lb last Monday.

Am being ruthless.

Well apart from the carrot cake i ate yesterday.

Must go and catch up now.

we do all have to bear in mind that if we all died tomorrow no one would say" oh she was lovely but woudl have been nicer 7lbs lighter" !

i think gravy is allowed.
