Oh boy..if Tommy Europe was here he would be giving me a major butt kick today!!!!!! On Sunday we had a little party for my stepson...with choccy cake included! I had a piece but started my diet the next morning. I was doing so good with the nighttime snacking..opting for celery sticks...arming myself with them in fact! Yesterday was hectic and busy and even though I ate a good dinner....I was hungry late at night! It was like someone removed all rational thinking and I remembered the leftover cake in the freezer and nothing was going to stop me. I had 2 pieces and then of course felt like poo poo. I wanted to throw it back up but do not want to fall into that.....I told hubby...he says to give my Dad the cake so I will....if he is not around soon enough though the "deep and delicious cake till be deep into the garbage can"!!:banghead:

Today, Math Major a member here left me a message on my newbie thread. Thank you Math Major...you are the reason I named my journal what I did and you made me feel like I can feel confident and good about myself skinny yet or not!!!!

That's what i'm like only I would probably have eaten the whole thing because i don't feel very guilty anymore. Unless it were not my cake.

Anyhow, my tip about this is - and i've only just realised this - don't stay up late because if you do, you will inevitably feel hungry late at night. If you are going to stay up late, maybe its best to schedule in a light meal to get you through. Grilled tomatos on toast, or whole wheat biscuits or something like that. That's what i'd do anyway.

As i write this, i'm feeling a bit peckish. Its 11pm, later than i thought. I'll be in bed by midnight though.
 
"don't stay up late because if you do, you will inevitably feel hungry late at night."



I know! I have always liked to stay up late to relax on my own and watch the tv......bad bad me! You are so correct....I eat...eat ....eat. Tonight I will head to bed earlier...today has been a good day...no cheats!! Now if I could just say that after a month!!!! Thanks for the advice...any is always appreciated and welcome!!!
 
Course you can stay like that for the month. You can totally do this, because failing isn't an option!

Don't feel bad about snacking on a night time. I have to because I don't get to bed until around 3/4 (student halls, its noisy and i'm up working late) and I can't sleep if i'm hungry, so I usually have a rice cake or a biscuit (weight watchers) so I don't feel bad. So if you must eat, don't starve yourself, just have something really light!

Good job on having a successful day! Keep up the good work buddy :) We want to see that ticker going down....down...down ;)
 
I absolutely LOVE ricecakes....especially the caramel flavoured one!!! Thank for the support Stacey!! By the way....You were very brave posting what you ate...even though we are on computers I still feel accountable...and would have had a hard time admitting to what I ate!!! Way to go!!
 
I like the fact that this site makes me feel accountable- tonight I (stupidly) went shopping before dinner and was hungry and tempted by a lot of things- one of the things that got me away from the chocolate was "do I really want to have to write that down?" I probably take things to extremes- I write everything (except water) down, down to a grind of pepper on my food. But it works for me.
 


Good Morning! Well I am down another pound....weighed myself even though I was going to try not to! However I am lucky because I did not give my Dad the rest of the choccy cake and found myself into it again! Of course I felt the usual guilt...why that can't be enough to keep me away from it I don't know but there I was...every one was in bed...it was only 9:00 and boom.
I am sure it is because we did not eat dinner untill late...I had a healthy spinich thin crust pizza that I did not enjoy!!:ack2: I felt like I was eating cardboard...yuck!! I should have just prepared something else but I was tired and just did not feel like it!! I work today...very busy place...a hairdressing shop...I do very well when I am at work so should be fine for the next couple days!
 
:(Feeling Blah lately....I spend too much time on computer and not enough time on other things so I have not been on in a few days....
I am just coasting along. Its TOM and I have no energy...I have not walked in a few days but got up extra early today to start housecleaning...got lots done so far!!
Been cheating just a little...I crave sweets at this TOM. But...I am not walking away from my efforts..just need to relax for a day or two and my energy will rise up!! The weather is rainy so that sure does not help the mood!!
I will check in again soon. I need to eat breakfast now or else I will get too hungry and BOOM..the kids Pop Tarts start to look too appealing to me!
 
You sure like having multi-coloured writing don't you! Don't worry about feeling sluggish with TOM, my cravings go mad too ....much worse than sweets.....I always want take away.

Chin up dearie!

Hi Stacey!! Yup....I find the plain black type so boring!! Usually red is my color to post in but blue seemed suitable yesterday!!
I have been really busy today but its always good to have a productive day...keeps my energy revving! ......I just realized I typed this in black???
Maybe that means my mood is level!!
I am still dieting...just need to remember to eat when I am busy as it ends up that I feel really hungry all evening! I haven't weighed myself....I think I will wait till morning as I have had several coffees and the scale will lie if I get on there now!!!
Hope you are doing well Stacey!!
 
Haha the black writing is the first thing I noticed!!

Defo never weigh yourself the night before, I nearly had a heart attack one night by the scale telling me I was 3lb heavier. Was not a good move! Thankfully the next morning it went down. Morning is always best..........good luck with your weigh in!!
 
Hi all!! Just popping in with an update. I have been on Atkins for the last week and I am down 6 pounds!! This loss added with the loss untill I joined the forum=26 pounds total!!!!:party:
