We spent an hour kite surfing today, that's exercise too.
My parents made a christmas worthy dinner, I cut away all visible fats and the pork rind too and only had very little gravy. I am still so full, my body is not crazy with four-legged meat.
 
Ooooo.. kite surfing sounds fun! I never learned how to swim though, so water is not my friend. lol!

Great job on the food!! :)
 
It wasn't nearly windy enough, but still fun with the kite.

Know what you mean about losing the same chunk of weight over and over. Frustrating! But well done on losing what you have lost and the food diary looks really useful. I will have to start properly counting calories.
 
wow.. you are really tracking your food calories! :hurray: how do u remember you need to count your calories? i'm not used to it, and i ate the food already before i remember it. :smilielol5:
 
Hi Serge and Maganda thanks for stopping by :hug2:

I have to write down every calorie I eat otherwise I start an avalanche of food going down my throat, because I think "Oh just this little muffin ...this slice of leftover cheese" and soon I am back at eating what I want and not giving a d¤mn about my weight loss.

Sometimes I hate it and it has been the cause of more than one of my disappearances, but steadily I keep it up now. I just write a draft on my phone and add each time I eat and copy-paste it here after my last meal. That's also a good closure for me, knowing food is off for the evening when I have posted.

So weigh in this morning said that I AM DOWN 3.5 LBS :hurray:

I will need a new scale I think it is so long to settle and often it gives up and keep changing numbers until it says error. Probabably bought it too cheap.
 
Next step yes,that's the keyword to me
... am entering my diary to "record" and become wiser on my behavior problems.

Have been driven mad the past hour or two. Everytime I am alone (kids are off to their father as of this morning) or I have a good weigh in; those two facts are always making me think:

good weigh in: yeees I did good it's in the basket, now I can relax and have candy today, it wouldn't hurt.

When the kids are not home I get bored and" have nothing to do" and all I want is to sit on the couch with a bag of candy.
 
I super agree with you, sometimes when boredome starts, we always go to food to keep ourselves busy. maybe we should find something to keep ourselves busy and productive. is there any hobby that you like and proud to do?

I hardly have time for a hobby (I do have two, it's learning Spanish and learning about geology), but I am busy enough with my study and keping a Little of a social life. I have paused Spanish lessons because my head get's filled with nurse-stuff and I need no more mental stimulation, however I could easily combine geology with hiking/exercise, I just need to actually DO IT.

Wrote a little thoughts on a notepad this afteroon and I will post it here, it helps staying on track.

I dropped by Jen's diary and there was an conversation on clothes, and I remembered that I have kind of the same problem, most of my clothes are pretty worn I haven't bought much these past years and the few items I have bought are 1-3 sizes too small. Which means I will soon have to buy new stuff -and I DENY to spend money buying clothes my present size. Equals >> I have to loose weight and not keep sabotaging my weight loss with candy.

I need to tell my self these things again and again because every time I go shopping for clothes, they are either too tight or I find a nice looking thing and go to the dressing room, and when I see my self from all directions at once I see my arse is like a huge deform lump sticking a foot out from my body. Then I put back the clothes at the shelves and repress my weight problem, my wardrope problem blah blah….

Well it made my think H¤ll no, there's no candy for me and then I went to the kitchen and made two servings of lovely chick pea salad for tues and wedn lunches and I also made 10 fibre rich 100 cal buns with freshly grated beetroot and wholegrain maiz flour. I want to feel successful with this weight loss!!!

didn't screw up with candy, unloading in this diary helps alot and makes me aware of not to carry on as I used to mindlessly. It forces me to think WHY??! and reflect.
8 days of good eating behind me, 9th coming up :)

I'm there with you - I was putting my son's dinner together last night, a nibble here and there for myself. I managed to have a low-calorie day, anyway, but I think I "nibbled" a good 200-300 calories (handful of Goldfish here, a slice of turkey there, it adds up quickly!)

And before you know it you've eaten half your dinner calories and get's demotivated because of stagnant weight loss. Been in that trap a few times now, so I don't even snack on a carrot if it's not being recorded.

Gracias Quercus!

Just ordered a new scale, hoping it will come home later this week.
 
My trusty Helath-O-Meter doctor's style scale has been with me ever since about a month into this (my first weigh in with it was 359.5 pounds). It technically only goes up to 350 pounds, but it came with a pair of counter weights that allow you to use it up to like 425 pounds. They've been sitting in a drawer for over two years now. I think they'll make nice mementos one day.

Anyhow, great job the last week and change. keep on keeping on.
 
Those counter weights would be epic on the mantelpiece some day.

Oh, I hope you do not mind the signature quote? It has been on my mind ever since you wrote that, and I've realized and admitted the two biggest reasons to why I eat. The one reason (about missing my first child) more or less have stopped giving me urges to eat since I addressed the problem, and the other problem (I comfort myself with candy when days become a struggle/stressful) I am working hard on and your quote is a key to that problem fixing.

It is kind of a bad week, I'm in a study Group and we struggle to finish an assignment for an exam. It is SO hard working in a Group when it is such big a deal. We have been given a month to Work on it and we are at day 22 or so and starts to feel delivering getting closer and one of the others are getting on my nerves, and I am on hers, surely. However, no eating candy!!!It was a long, mentally had day yesterday and then I had two meetings in the afternoon, and after that, I went shopping in a very crowded supermarket. Boy I wanted candy on the couch because I thought it would be a comfort and nice closure to a hard day.
But food is no comfort; it would only leave me demotivated and sad today if I had given in and inhaled a Pound of candy. NO. Today I can say YES nine days of good down, 10th to go :D
