Things to be proud of
I did it!!!! I went to Jacks presentation evening and I didn't even go near the buffet!!! Yay me :hurray:

Another hot, busy day at work and then went to Jacks presentation evening. The Buffet was lots of really bad food....There was fruit etc but I knew that if I even went over to it I would have something I shouldn't so I stayed away :) And, I didn't have any beer or wine, I just had a blackcurrant and soda........Check me out :)

Day 10

Breakfast: 2 small slices of wholemeal toast with light spread and marmite
Lunch: Small Chicken, rocket and tomato wholegrain Panini
Dinner: Ham, lettuce and light mayo wholemeal sandwich and low cal crisps
Snacks: Ice cream with a flake!!!

Things to be proud of
Stayed within my calories :)

I've struggled today!!! It is so hot that I just haven't wanted to eat normal meals, I was a bit like it yesterday but today was worse. I did have an ice cream but still checked to make sure the calories were ok :) I kinda felt that seeing as I did so well with the buffet yesterday that I deserved a treat day!! But, I managed to just have an ice cream and not blow it :)

I am going to the beach for the day tomorrow :) I am going to be doing lots of messing around in the sea so burning lots of calories. I am also going to take a packed lunch so hopefully I wont have a problem..........Can't promise anything though........Actually, if I tell you guys that I am going to be good then I tend to be as I have to admit my failings on here so I am going to be good!!!!!!!

:waving: Hello my lovely. Yay, i'm doing ok. Not the mega obsessed girl I was, I really want to eat badly, whereas I didn't before but i'm doing good so far :)
How is life treating you my lovely? I really must check out your diary. Life is a bit manic and I haven't had chance to sit and read thru everyone's yet but hopefully I will get chance to soon.

Yep, I usually have that problem with biscuits and crisps. I could quite easily eat a whole packet with out even noticing!! But it was the thought of having to tell you guys about it made me stop at one. I'm really proud that I seem to have a bit of control at the moment, I haven't had that for months and months.
When are/were you due to have your little bundle?
 
Hope you were good today! Well done on being so brilliant at Jacks presentation evening!

I am going to do a red faced treat-day rant now.... NO TREAT DAYS! However good you are on the previous day! Unless its for a really special occasion. We have had enough treat days in the past, that's what caused us to gain weight. Now is the time for punishment! Treat meal, yus. Treat day, no. That is all ;)

I am the same with ice creams... Had a mini solero two days ago, which is only 95 calories... But then the next day I had a magnum for 240. It is hard to resist them in this heat. I think a twister is really low in calories as well... But then the dreaded sugar can make you crave more sugar and carbs. Hmmm...
 
Hi Hun, Well done on resisting the buffet!! I love your "Things to be proud of." I feel it's time for me to re-focus as I'm avoiding the scales & the "little' treats are slowly building up again. It is harder to focus when you are not majorly over-weight, but focus we must. I would SOOOO hate to go back down that path! xoxo Cate
 
Doing great and avoiding the buffet, well done!

That's why this forum is great, it will help me in the same way... I won't want to come on here and post that I had a huge binge.
It worked the same for me last time with my nutritionist. I didn't want to tell her on my visits that I was bad, so I kept being good.

Baby is due any day now. 38 weeks and 6 days pregnant and waiting, waiting, waiting, once baby is born and I'm settled and comfortable I will start my diary here. I'm looking forward to that.
 
Hey chick--you're doing really well! I know what you mean about not wanting proper meals in this weather--I just want to live on ice cream!!
 
Hi guys.
Sorry that I have been AWOL. I've been poorly :( but feeling a bit better today.......Ok, catch up time.

Day 11
Breakfast: 2 small slices of wholemeal toast with light spread and marmite
Lunch: Ham & egg salad with light salad cream, yoghurt and raspberries
Dinner: bowl of Weetabix
Snacks: melon, nectarine, ice cream lolly and a bit of chocolate

Things to be proud of
I went to the beach and only ate the lunch that I had taken with me :hurray:

I had a lovely day at the beach until 'I came over all weird' I felt sick, shaky and really horrible. I came home, had a shower and still felt terrible so had an ice cream and some choc as I felt lightheaded but it didn't help :(

Day 12
Food= bloody terrible!!!!!! I still felt terrible and didn't go to work. I basically lay on the bed all day, falling in and out of sleep. All I ate was toast and biscuits :( LOTS OF THEM!!!!!!! I really did try and be good but just couldn't.

Day 13
Breakfast: 2 Weetabix
Lunch: Ham, lettuce and light mayo wholemeal sandwich, low cal crisps and a yoghurt and raspberries
Dinner: Quiche, cous cous, salad and light salad cream
Snacks: melon

Things to be proud of
Straight back on track after a rubbish day :)

Back to work today. I still don't feel right but definitely better. I was straight back on track today :hurray: Yay!!!!!
Before, I said that I was going to slimming world and I was going to carry on weighing there. Well, it has stopped! The lady that did it stopped so I can't weigh there anymore so I am going to go back to weighing on sundays (which gives me a few days to undo the damage I did yesterday lol)

Ruthie
I was so good at Jack's presentation and at the beach.......Such a shame I couldn't keep it together when I was feeling rubbish. Oh, well, today was good and no ice cream today either!!! Yay!

Cate
Totally with you there, I desperately don't want to go down that path either. We can do it with the support we get on here. Always here for each other :)

Nostalgic
Has your little bundle of joy arrived yet?

Sunflower
Hello my lovely :)
I think today is the first time in a while that I have actually had a 'normal' meal at all three meals of the day........It's cooler today lol

Not got time again this evening to go thru other diaries. I'll try and get to them this week.
Love you all. Xoxoxoxoxoxo
 
Not yet and I'm starting to get really irritable :(

Hope your feeling better, do you know what it was that made you feel sick?
 
Day 14

Breakfast: 50g porridge and raspberries
Lunch: Ham, lettuce and light mayo wholemeal sandwich, low cal crisps and a yoghurt with raspberries
Dinner: Quiche, jacket potato, salad and light salad cream
Snacks: melon and a nectarine

I'm tired :sleeping: It's been a long day. I've been good :)
Not much to tell you really, i just wanna sleep.

Nostalgic
Heya. Not sure what made me ill. It might have just been the heat. People at work have been feeling like it and others too. But, my son, Jack has been sick too and he is never ill so maybe there is a weird bug going round!
Hope the weather is being kind to you, it's cooled down a bit today here.......We even had some rain :)

Cate
You, my lovely, are an amazingly wonderful person. :beating: Thank you so much for your generous donation and a massive thank you for sharing my link. I got 2 more donations from Heather and Jennifer Jacobs. I don't know the names (isn't Heather your sister?) and it was in dollars so i'm thinking it was due to you sharing my link. Thank you. Can you send a great big hug and sloppy kiss to them both for me please. It is so touching that people who i have never met can do such a wonderful thing for a stranger.
Thanks again mum :) Love ya loads Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
 
You are very welcome sweets. I think what you are doing is awesome. Much love, right back at you xoxoxoxo P.S Heather is my sister, but not even I know Jen- she's a friend of my sister!
 
Day 15

Breakfast: 50g porridge and raspberries
Lunch: Ham, lettuce and light mayo wholemeal sandwich, low cal crisps and a yoghurt and raspberries
Dinner: Quiche, salad, light salad cream, coleslaw and potato salad
Snacks: biscuit and a nectarine

Nothing to feel proud of today. I had a big biscuit fail last night :banghead: I did fine all evening until Mark and Jack came home, made tea and had biscuits and I pretty much ate half a packet!!!!!

I probably ate more than my 1200 cals today as I had coleslaw and potato salad with my dinner, it wasn't much but still.........
Tomorrow is the last day that I am working with Guy (our trainee dentist) he leaves next week to move on. I have made a massive carrot cake to take to work so I will be having some of that. I am going to make sure that that is all I do that is bad.
I am gonna miss him, we have a really good laugh (not to mention that he is gorgeous, not that I would let him know I think that lol) He is always telling me how great I am as a nurse and he told one of the other nurses that he would take me with him to his new practice if he could. How cool is that :)

Cate
I don't see it as awesome really. I love the fact that I am able to experience something like that due to the job I do. I kinda think anyone in my position would do the same really. I'm getting excited now, a bit nervous too though as i'm going on my own. I know i'll be fine once I get there but I have a 29 hour journey first!!!!!
 
Hope you get your va-va-voom back soon and feel normal again! It must be a bug, the heat is probably making it worse though :(

I haven't forgotton about donating, just waiting for my new cash card to arrive!

I love your 'Things to be proud of', think I might copy you :)
 
i ONLY NOW have seen your new diary!You are really going to do this again you can i know you can you have done it before.So its just a matter of MIND that is keeping you away from the weight you want to be.nothing more that your mind...cause even if your TUMMY makes noises you can fill it up and make it shut up!!!But its all in our MIND!!!you are amazing!!!!Remembering how you felt last year about your job ,,you were so nervous and look things have turned out great for you!!!Just keep on trying and you will win
 
Hi all

Sorry I have been AWOL. It's been a crazy weekend!!

Friday at work was fun and I did only eat carrot cake and no other bad food but I ate lots!!! At work on Friday one of the girls asked me to go to Exeter for a girly, boozy shop :) We had a great day but I ate lots of bad food and got really really drunk on Pimm's.
Mark has had food poisoning from Saturday night and while sat with him while he was ill yesterday I was thinking about what a failure I am and how I needed to get my act together. I remembered that Mo (my old boss), who I met for lunch few weeks ago, was doing the '2day diet' and she had lost quite a bit of weight and was looking really good. I googled it and there was a book so I downloaded it on my Ipad. As I was sat with Mark all day I read it.......From cover to cover and I thought 'right, lets give this a go' and I started this morning. You have 2 restricted food days and 5 un-restricted (well, not completely un-restricted but you can eat more and have some treats) days. It looks good and it really takes some organising and thinking about which I think is good for me.

So, after gaining a shit load of weight over the weekend (i'm up 1lb higher than I was when I started 2 weeks ago) I started my 2 restricted days today :) Basically it is no carb and amount restricted for the 2 days.

2day Diet. Day 1 R
Breakfast: Yoghurt and raspberries
Lunch: 2 eggs, wafer thin ham, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and light mayo
Dinner: Mackerel in tomato sauce, lettuce, cucumber, balsamic vinegar and light mayo

I really thought that I would feel hungry and struggle but I feel fine :)

Starting an exciting new eating plan after a really bad food fail!!!!

Ruthie
Yay I feel better but everyone else has been ill. I think I got away with it quite lightly.
Definitely do 'things to be proud of' It really helps when you're struggling cos it makes ya look for something positive :)

Jess
Hello my lovely :) great to see you back! Do you have a diary?
Thank you so much for your encouragement and belief in me :) I had better do it right now, cant let you down. :blush5:

I have redone my ticker. I've put it back up to what I weighed this morning and I've changed my target from 160 to 155lb.
 
Hey Kate!!!That does sound really good...normally i would say "no dont do it" or " eat more" etc but i understand and i also need a BOOST startt to this.Then i will make my eating more reasonable.I will google the 2 day diet aswell and see what i find about it.
i dont feel that its so BAD you gained.I feel like its just human,you made mistakes,but what maters is thatyou are back here.(i dont feel anything like that about myself thought.
Sorry to hear about Mark and that generally everyone has been sick.i know a few people that are ill in this heat and cant stand the thought that its probably a virus going around and maybe i'll catch it too///well im off to google the 2 day diet and then go read my book.Lots of love Kate!!!and GOOD FOR YOU FOR TODAY STICKING TO YOUR PLAN!
 
2day diet. Day 2 R

Breakfast: yoghurt and raspberries
Lunch: Mackerel, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, light mayo and balsamic vinegar
Dinner: 2 eggs, 4 slices of wafer thin ham, lettuce, cucumber, light mayo and balsamic vinegar

I really thought I would struggle with this 2 days of only eating 500 or so calories but ya know what......It's totally fine. I didn't have my yoghurt and raspberries until about 10am and only had half of it (I ate the rest of it at about 4.30 just because I thought I had better). I haven't been hungry and i'm usually hungry coming up to lunch or dinner time. I am really shocked that I haven't been. I never expected what I have eaten to be filling enough.
I get to eat more for the rest of the week but I am going to stick to making sure I don't have more than 1,500 calories. I definitely feel better having no carbs, more awake, if that makes sense. So, i'm going to try and keep carbs to a minimum!

I saw a program on TV last night and there was this Dr on there talking about 'the 2day diet' and he said that it was really good for your body to do it so Yay!!!!

Ok, I am gonna have to go.........Our internet is going off in a minute.

Here's looking to us all having a great week. :cheers2:
 
2Day Diet Day 3 NR

Breakfast: fruit and fibre cereal
Lunch: 2 small slices of nimble wholemeal toast with pilchards
Dinner: A tin of chicken and mushroom soup
Snacks: Banana, low cal crisps and a magnum

I felt really sicky by the time I went to be last night and my stomach woke me up quite a bit in the night. It wasn't hungry and I didn't feel like I was going to be sick, It just felt horrible.
When I got up this morning I made a cup of tea and went for a cigarette at the back door, like I do every morning. I crouched down leaning against the door frame. When I got up to come in I felt light headed, which I do a lot, I always have, but, this morning my vision went black and I so nearly fainted, I spilt my tea all over the floor but managed to not hit the floor myself. I have never fainted and this was the closest I have ever come to it, it scared me!!!
I have felt crap all day and actually struggled to eat! I do feel better this evening and my stomach seems to have calmed down a lot. I don't think it was anything to do with my '2day diet' as I felt fine last night and I didn't wanna eat today rather than feeling faint and hungry.

I went and enrolled on a college course today.....In September I am going to do GCSE English :) Jack Starts his GCSE's in September and this year he has been diagnosed dyslectic so I think it will help him if I have some sort of idea what he's doing and I left school with a crap grade so I want to improve on that :)

Also had my immunisations for my Africa trip today (like I needed that as well as feeling crap lol)
 
Hi hun- will you please do your online Mum a big favour & go see your doctor & get a thorough check-up? Please, pretty please! Don't mess with your health sweetie. Make sure you tell your doc that you feel light-headed a lot.
Well done on enrolling in the GCSE's! You are obviously such a good mum!
Lots of love, xoxo Cate
 
Hey there :)

It's so great that you came back to get back on track. I was here earlier this year, lost a bit of weight, then fell off the wagon these last few months. But, like you, I am back again. I know we can both do it once and for all this time.

Hope you get to feeling better ASAP!

~Camila!
