Petals diary

Spammy guy gone now - big body builder muscles, slightly furry around the edges. Cheesecake, but not my particular kind of cheesecake...
 
I think I missed him too - but yeah, this site does seem - well, naturally enough, I guess - to attract a lot of people looking for commercial gain, rather than weight loss.

:D let's not get into favourite kinds of cheesecake - I'm still faintly hankering after the lemon meringue kind Cate hinted at a few weeks back!

Oh, his post is gone now. It's almost a shame. Can't remember what he wrote but he had a very vain-looking profile-picture featuring someone who didn't at all look like such people normally do. For the record: I really liked how he looked, it just just seemed to clash with the pose and the spammy message.
 
I doubt he actually looked like the photo. If he comes back with the same photo under a different name I'll save the photo he uses before I ban him (unless I'm beaten to the punch) :D
I would prefer that lemon meringue cheesecake. At least it is real *drool* I would like some right now!
 
lol I definitely missed spammy guy as it was deleted . I too would prefer cheesecake a nice baked one , or even better a lemon meringue pie with a nice crisp short pastry base .

Yesterday was not a great food day in so far as I let myself get hungry and as a result ate about 400 cals of bad food last night . Not happy as I had been super focused. Shows how easy it is to fall . But the lessons I am learning is it's ok to fall and pick back up today and not let it become a bad weekend . Calorie wise I was probably about 1600 but I was extremely active so let's hope not too much damage .

It´s great that you´re aware of why it happened. Not to mention getting right back on track!
 
Yeah I came home from work and ate small lunch and didn't fill up on fruit and veg , was out gardening all afternoon and eve . The family were all out and they ate dinner out so I made a quick dinner and again didn't satisfy me . Never mind back today and also will do a big supermarket shop I think ,
 
I doubt any damage was done, Petal. I think we are all learning by our mistakes. Picking yourself up & moving on is the way to go xoxo
 
400 cals doesn’t sound too bad but I think it’s more the act itself rather than the calories, at least for me anyway. It’s like, why am I sabotaging myself? Anyway, as you said, back on it this weekend.
 
Ok I went back to the start of my diary . As you know I left here as I was in low place and what I didn't say was I gained weight in that time . However I am happy to see that in that time since I first joined here I was 14st 8 and today I am 13 st 6. I recognised I was on a slippy slope and pulled back .
Still a long way to go even though I feel I will settle at 12 st 7. But I am happy day to day just doing as I am doing .
 
Em yes it's the act itself and why do it ? But at least we recognise the act too. Suppose we only human at the end of the day .
 
Losing a stone and 2 pounds is great progress, especially given the fact that most people get heavier over the years. So well done you!
 
I think you have bounced back from the weight gain so well and that you should be proud of getting off all that weight!

We are surrounded in foods that aren't good for us or foods we should only have limited amounts of. I think it's human and completely understandable to crave them and to go on automatic and eat them. For me the focus is on learning to really feel my emotions and thoughts when I am reaching for something I know shouldn't go into my mouth. I am really trying to see what thought processes make that happen. It's like there is a quickly made decision to eat something you know is going to set you back, and the idea of the food becomes more important than that it will throw a monkey wrench into my forward momentum. And it would be ok, except it becomes a pattern with me to just cheat a little here and there, and soon I am in maintenance instead of weight loss. So when I really pay attention to what I am actually feeling and doing, the urge usually goes away, because I make the focus more about staying on track and achieving instead of on reaching for food as entertainment or mood stabilizer or quick fix for being too hungry. I am writing this out because I am stuck in maintenance atm and need to get back to where you are in weight loss land!
 
Thank Cate.
That applies to us lol Marsia . At least a maintain is better than a gain .
LaMa that is true enough and I am pleased it's going down rather than up .
 
You are welcome Amy . Had a lovely morning so far . I was lazy and caught up with the handmaids tale . I made soup and some brown bread. I freeze the bread in slices . Keeping laundry moving too as loads to be done .
This afternoon is pamper and relax perhaps with more laundry . It's raining hard so not going to worry about going out .
 
I hope you get lots of pampering in! Are you reading the book or watching the movie or the series? I haven't seen the movie or series, but read the book ages ago and really liked it. I adore brown bread - please enjoy some for me! Do you dunk it in the soup? Please send some of your rain here - I miss that, too!
 
Hi Marsia yes I only had small piece of bread and I dunk it sometimes in soup. I was watching the handmaids tale .
Em it's very chilly tonight.
