General hysterical diet related rambling: From Flab to Fab.

AHeya girly

So so sorry i have been AWOL. i am having a much better day today so i am catching up with everyone.

You haven't posted on here for a few days hun. Where are you????? Don't be buggering off on me!!!

If you don't want to give up smoking, then don't!!!! If you are not in the right mindspace to do it then you won't be able to and that will just piss you off even more. To make it cheaper try rolling your own and just cutting down until you feel you want to give up.

Jess is totally right. We know you can do this, you know you can do this. Maintain until you can get back on track and then you will kick some arse!!! You have done it, you can do it again.

Hope you have fun with your sister. And, get you butt back on here asap!!!

Love and hugs Xxx
 
AI haven't actually done too badly on the maintaining malarkey! I weigh 12 stone(168 pounds) which is only 3lbs higher than my lowest this-diet weight. But I feel loads fatter. I really dunno HOW I haven't put on 10 pounds. Today my food was a big mac and chips, half a packet of chocolate covered raisins, 4 ferrero rochers, 3 slices pizza hut pizza with cheesy bites on the crust, bout 4 chicken bits, A SALAD. And a gazzillion cups of sugary tea. I love tea, but I don't like it with sweetener... which is why I am back on it again as I am allowing myself sugar.

Anyway.... I have decided to eat what has now become normal until Wednesday, then I am going to do a four day detox (something like porridge with banana for breakfast, egg salad for lunch, soup with a small multi-grain roll for dinner, and lots of fruit.). Then I'm going to become a health freak gym bunny. I feel all bloated and horrible, my skin is weathered looking and spotty. I keep feeling like I am going to faint. I am horribly constipated. Its not good. I was reading motivation tips, and one that I liked said to get excited about it. And I am now looking forwards to it. HURRAH! About blimming time!

The reason I need to give up smoking is because I have got my first cheekbone consultation on the 8th. You can't smoke when you have it done because the incisions are made through your gum line, and it can cause an infection. Also smoking slows down the healing process. Most good surgeons won't do it if you've smoked in the past two weeks. Arrgghhhh.

I am going to Portsmouth to see my big Sis and nieces in the morning and I can't wait!!!! We are going to have a little Halloween party for the kids. Nick isn't coming, god knows what he will get up to in the house by himself lol. I'll be back on Tuesday night :)

Will go and spy on everyone now....
 
AWell I know, my dear, that quitting smoking is TOUGH AS TOUGH CAN BE, but I think it will be the most important thing that you will ever do. Seriously. And if there is somehting in your life that is acting as a reason for you to do it now, then I reckon you shouldgrab that bull by the horns! :)

So you've been eating 'normally' eh? Can't wait til Wednesday! Your 4 day detox plan looks great, and a good idea to kick start things again. That takes you through to Sunday - are you going back to your old (and successful!!!) plan of eating whatever you want on sundays?

Hope you've had a GRREEEAT time with your sis and the bubs! How far away from you do they live? Can you visit them often? Lucky duck!

hey ruth how is it going?Did you have a great time?Hope you did!!!!

I too think of cutting the mokes so often,it will be the greatest thing (as well as weight loss) if you finally do it!!!!

Waiting for you to come back and tell us all about your weekend
 
Ahi my dear rainbow!!! we have so much to catch up on...and i have no time to do it! :( I think you have done fabulously in the maintenance department!! Well done my dear!! Hope you are having a wonderful time with your sister and enjoying yourself !!!!

That detox sounds so hard to do!! I am thoroughly impressed. Sending hugs and good vibes :) :) :)
 
AHaha, d'ya know what, I came on here and saw you were the last to reply and I thought "I can't hide" lol.

I'm not really well today. Feel a bit sick and I have got the runs. So I decided to start tomorrow instead :eek:

Yeah I had a good time at my sisters, we had a little halloween party and went trick or treating, did a bit of shopping. Pen has just moved from Edinburgh tp portsmouth so its only about 4 hours away in total now on the train, so hopefully I'll be able to get up there every few months. Its a lovely feeling being surrounded by family as I can sometimes feel quite isolated what with no longer talking to my mother.

I came back to Nick having not lifted a finger around the house. The place was disgusting, so he is NOT in my good books.

Had porridge and pizza hut takeaway and a fair sized handful of trick or treat sweeties. My tummy has definitely got bigger. Arrggghhhh.
 
Hey babe, hope the health situation rebounds soon!! The runs? eeeeeeeek arent they horrible? haha


Also i hope you had a fab halloween chick :) xx
 
ADAY ONE OF BEING BACK ON THE BANDWAGON!!!!!!!!!

Well, the day didn't start off well, at all. Charlie is really unsettled from going away and he woke up four times last night (After I had finally got to sleep at half one), and got in bed with Lily and woke her up. When I woke up at 8 Nick still hadn't come home from his night out. So I was quite grumpy. I had a few spoonfuls of the kids porridge leftovers, then went to college. I didn't eat anything till half two. I walked down Brick Lane with all the tempting smells from different food places making me delirious, and had just made up my mind to fuckit and get a macdonnalds and start properly tomorrow, when out of nowhere there was a takeaway piri-piri chicken place with a big picture of a salad in the window, shining with artificial light, like a beacon of hope. So I got chicken salad. I am un-immune to newsagents again, and almost convinced myself to get a pack of rolos, but told myself no. I got a packet of nuts instead.

It has been so so hard not to get any chocolate or chips. Really really hard. I am so tired, a bit pissed off, and nothing would be nicer than to eat a load of junk. But I need to do this. And I have said I am going to get back on track so many times now, and I haven't. I really really need to get myself sorted before I give up smoking.

Food
5 spoonfuls of porridge 100ish
Large piri-piri chicken breast with salad 450ish
Packet of peanuts 295
porridge with sweetener 400ish
=1045ish

Exercise
4.5 miles walking
 
A:hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: Well done sweetie!!!!!!

I can imagine it is hard when you plan your day out and things don't work out as you want them too, like not much sleep and Nick staying out!!! So, i'm sending you a massive Well done girly!!!

Just keep plodding along, you will get your mojo back, you just need to give yourself time.

I have a challenge for you. Take a picture of everything you eat from tomorrow until next fri! even if it is bad, it might make you stop and think twice if it isn't something you should be eating. That will be your perfect week!!!!

Love and squishies Xxxxxx

AHey Ruth!! Good job for getting back on! Keep it up this time, you'll feel better if you do. Keep us updated :)
 
AThat's brilliant Princess :D We're gonna DO THIS!!!!!!!

Thanks Becki!

Day 2 of being back on the bandwagonish

Well, I am rather drunkard right now. Very drunk in fact lol. But foodwise, I haven't done too badly. Its just the liquid calories that have done me in :) Went to the Tate gallery today and then I jostled the lovely Charlotte down to Camden on mission find-her-a-man.

I have a very big spot on my forehead.

Food
Apple and banana
Tin of mixed bean salad
seedy-dried fruit-y bar
Chicken wrap

Drinks
1 small cappuccino
1 large cappuccino
1 praline mocha with crrrrream
7 vodka diet cokes
 
AHahaha I love your drunken updates! How did mission Find-Her-A-Man go?

You're doing really well, lovely! Particularly that first awesome day back on the bandwagon - where the lights from heaven shone on a picture of the salad... you did GREAT!

Keep it up, hot stuffs!
 
AWell we sat outside in a little corner on our own for most of it so mission find-charlotte-a-man didn't go that well. An absolutely beautiful guy was talking to her when were heat-sucked inside :) But he was from somewhere where the A's sound like U's. Or maybe where the U's sound like A's. So it wasn't to be lol. We WILL find her a man though :) She's really lovely and we had a good gossip and a giggle.

Third day of getting back on track

Well, the first day I was aiming to be perfect. The second day I was aiming to be on the bandwagon-ish, and today, on day three, my only goal is to have no chocolate/sweets/cakes/biscuit. Which I think is fair enough. I am not going to eat sweet crap for the next month. I can do that. And I am going to eat lots of fruit and veggies.

Went to the fireworks with my kiddies tonight. I used to love getting chips on the way back in the cold when I was a kid, and I figured its only once a year... I wanted to give my kids the chip-eating-after-bonfire-night experience. So I did :D And, I had to have hangover food this morning. But it was not completely bad hangover food, as hangover food goes.

Granary bacon sandwich
Small portion of porridge
Half a battered sausage and chips

Exercise
About an hour walking.
 
rainbow is here again and i am really happy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only complaint is i want the pics back!


When are you going to weigh?
 
AWell, for hang-over food, you've done DARN well, lovely!

I think it was a really great idea to get chips for your lovely bundled up kiddies after the fireworks. I think that we have to remember that food is not the enemy - it can also be something special and the kind of memories you have for things like this are really lovely. Particularly because it was just for a special occasion. If you were to do it with your kids all the time, then it wouldn't be special, would it? So props for that one, I say. :)

I never have understood this concept of a battered sausage... I have never seen one, and the concept freaks me out a bit. Do you get them from a street stand thing?
 
ABattered sausages are completely gorgeous. Normal sausages are all naked and insubstantial next to them. I am going to start doing pics again tomorrow Jasper! Not a good day today I am afraid. If I can manage to both get on track with food AND quit smoking in the next week I think I'll actually deserve a sainthood. Smoking is my priority right now tho...

This post is going to be really short as I am going out of my mind for a cigarette. I'm all lock jawed with the insane need for a fag screeching and flapping its way in a big flock around my chest and head. I know I said I was going to give up tomorrow, but this morning I bought a pack of 10 ciggies, and I said to myself that these will be the last 10 I ever smoke. I have three left. I would rather have a safety net for tomorrow. One after every meal.

Will look at everyones pages tomorrows my lovelies, I am going to go to bed and sulk.

Food
2 Nutrigrain elevenses
zinger tower burger (No chips!)
Twirl
Packet of starburst
Roast dinner
Porridge
 
Joh i just googled it and i feel like having like a dozen of them!!!THEy look so yummyyyyyyyy think they are really full of oil...Are they?mmmmmiammmmmmmmm
