General hysterical diet related rambling: From Flab to Fab.

HEEEEY GIRL


Ruth im so so fricken happy your back!! i have been eating like total shite since lately, but im on day 3 of eating healthy so we can do this!!



Your posts made me chuckle, lots of love you hero:) xoxo
 
Rainbow!!!it will get easier.Try remember that at sart everything seems to be difficult but it gets easier ...hang on there,make every day count make every meal count....You will get there you have done it before you can and will do it again.You started going wrong when you had trouble with Nick thats how it started if i remember correct.Now you have had your implants you SO wanted and you must get back on track to loose the 27 pounds you want and look f&*&(ing SLIM AND GORGEOUS in no time!!!!!I myself have fallen of but im really going to try again to make things good again with my diet.Please dont leave the forum again:rant:
 
Kate Awww I'm glad you missed me! Thanks for the lovely words! Okay, 10 perfect days eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkk! From tomorrow! You've scared me with your angry red rant face!


Eerika I Iike that capital letter DO IT! That's what we have to do. Just do it! Like Nike :) We will have hurdles, buts its our choice how we respond to them, and you responded in exactly the right way. And those people who are wearing nike clothes just jump over the hurdles. Now, where's my tracksuit?


Princess We have done this in the past so we know that somewhere deep in side of us we can do it again. Plus our diets are linked like I said on your diary, so if you fail, I will fail. So we both have to do well!


Jasper Thanks for giving me a talking too. In my head I know that you are right. We can have a fresh start. We are in control of what we eat, and what our bodies look like. Sometimes its hard remembering that we are actually the ones with control... It just feels like the food is. I promise I won't leave again, I will come on here and write what I've eaten every day for the next 6 months, even if its complete and utter rubbish. Because at least then I will be forced to face up to what I am doing to myself rather than just eating rubbish on auto-pilot.


I have to fess up to not staying on track last night... I bought a strawberry yoghurt multipack, thinking just one a night, but I didn't enjoy it because it didn't taste sweet enough... So I ate two of the chocolate mouses from the pack I got from the kids, but that still wasn't enough so I went back and ate another two of the strawberry yoghurts, already knowing that I wouldn't enjoy them. Hmmmmm. I had forgotten all about that till now, and I just told princess that I had a great day like her yesterday :eek:


Not a completely fabulous day today, but much better than normal. No sweet stuff! I did have rather a lot of cheese... So much so that frankly, I was surprised not to find a herd of angry cows at the door demanding it back because I am taking the piss!


Nicks Dad was over today and we were talking about food, in particular cream and jam scones, and then Nicks Dad gave him a lift somewhere, and I was completely cursing that I hadn't asked nick to get the ingredients for it. Even just thinking about them right now is making my insides melt. I am really hungry because I had a late lunch/early dinner at about 5. Don't know what I'm going to eat. Spose I should better go and inspect the cupboards..... Egg on toast seems about right. Scrambled eggs. Probably a bit late to be eating, but hey-ho.


I am being jostled away from the computer.


Food

Medium sized porridge with sultanas and cinnamon (Like the mummy bear in goldilocks)

Apple, banana and grapes

About four ladles of tomato pasta bake with a good handful and a half of grated cheese (Like someone who got attacked by cows for being too greedy)

Banana

2 scrambled eggs on multi-grain toast.


Exercise

None, whatsoever.
 
AHey Girly :)

Gald you're up for the perfect 10 days but i have changed mine to a 20 day blast cos i have been utterly crap for bloody ages now and really need to get my act together. Feel free to join me :D.

Well done on being honest with your food, that is something i have kinda slipped with. I have 'convienently' forgot to log stuff and that, as of today, is going to stop.

Come on my lovely, you and me can bloody do this!!!!!

Love and hugs sweetie :grouphug:
 
Rainbow!!!Are you calorie counting or not?Im asking cause i have stoped , cant be bothere about it,makes me really nervous and feel like a freak all day adding up calories....But i think i must,WE must...need some help though so get on here!!!!
 
Kate Oh no, 20 perfect days? How am I sposed to compete with that eh? I was already thinking about ordering a big takeaway to be delivered in advance for the 22nd :) A lot of times in the past I have seriously considered "Forgetting" to write something down, I think that sometimes you feel like you are letting everyone else down who has faith in you by admitting to mistakes, specially if your like me and prattling on about feeling strong every so often then eating complete crap. But its really important to be honest!!!! Really important. Its all fine and dandy when your doing well, but we are here to SHOUT at you when you slip up, and make you see sense again. SO TELL US EVERYTHING!!!!! :rant:. See. You just got one :)


Sunflower YAY, your back!!!! Was thinking about you yesterday :) Will be over to check up on you tomorrow. Thanks, they definitely look better, but I am still vexed that one cheek is bigger than the other. Stoopid surgeon.


Jasper I know what you mean about counting calories. It just seems like a chore, but I am trying to tell myself that it only takes an extra ten minutes a day. I remember that when I first started out I wasn't counting calories, then when I started to I realised that my big bowl of porridge made with only whole milk and sultanas was 800 calories, which explained why I wasn't losing superfast. And I also think that if you've done really well, its nice too see that low calorie number staring back at you on he screen :)


Princess I did have a good day, if your not counting the general hungriness and appetite! Glad you did too :cheers2:.


I had a super long lay-in this morning, and I didn't arise from my deathly slumber till 11 o'clock, and I was like wooooohooooooo, less time to feel hungry lol. Yep, that was my first thought! But I was still really hungry. Not surprising considering the huge amount I've been eating recently. I have the ingredients for three dinners left in my cupboard, but the cream cheese for one of the recipes has all been eaten, it turned out that I'd forgotten the veg for a stir-fry, and the chicken breasts for the other meal were still frozen. I was seriously on the edge of just calling for a pizza, and the only thing that stopped me was the thought of having to write it on here. I decided just to defrost the chicken for a rogan josh in the microwave, and I just went downstairs and did it and put the rice on to soak, with a pouty lower lip, and feet that were definitely more stompier than usual. Glad I did though. I'm really hungry again now. I just watched the final harry potter which is why I'm not on here till so late. I have been quite lazy but I did have a mini-rave with Lily for half an hour in the front room, which is something.


I'm so not used to writing on the computer any more. My fingers have gone all stiff and spazzy.


Food

Porridge with sultanas 381

2 pears (A pair of pears!) 192

chicken rogan josh with basmati rice 601

An apple and 2 kiwis 157

6 coffees 150 (Might start drinking diet coke instead)

Ps... And a few pinches of cheese that I didn't count from when I was making the kids lunch.
 
You hang on there rainbow!It will get easier you know so.

You are doing ok ,i can see how much you try all day and your efforts wil pay off.You will be so comfy in your size 12 colthes and remeber summer is just around the corner.No hidding away!!!

Are you going to do any sort of exercise?i think it will make you feel better and more energetic and really after working out you dont even want to think Naughty food cause of all the effort you have put in!
 
I was planning on biking to college and back, which is 30 miles in total, but I have just tried to fix my bike, but it isn't happening. I need to put a couple of bolts on, but I see no way of getting them in the tiny space. I will be buying a bike soon though! And I might also get a running machine. My toes are all swollen at the moment and a bit painful, so I won't be able to do anything for a few days at least.


Today so far I've had 1400 calories, I'm so hungry though, that I am going to have to have some cereal soon. I think I am going to aim for 1700 calories a day for the next week, then go down some more once my appetite has adjusted to that. My cravings have been a lot better today in general, its just this bloody hungriness. I'm going to have 2 coffees a day max from tomorrow, and the rest of my drinks are going to be calories free which'll probably help a bit.


I've just had my hair bleached and coloured, its slightly pink in the front, and a greyish lilac in the back. I like it :)


Food

Just right cereal 395

Very small portion of curry and rice 150

I think your idea of eating 1700 for one week to adjust your appetite sounds like a smart move. Oh girl i'm starving too:( I hate when u dont know the cals in some things and have to guess it:( lol



well done on the 40mins exercise:D
 
Good idea rainbow on the 1700 cal thing.Sound grat way to get used to lesser calories!

I see a determined woman here and i am soooooooooooo happy that you and other forum friends are determined to loose the weight and get going again!!!!!!!!!!!


Why are you toes swolen what happened?


I still remeber the story of you going for a run and then climbing up your \yards wall!!!!!!!But you have lost weight from then maybe you could try it again IN DIFFERENT CLOTHING instead of getting a treadmill.Isnt there a place nar by that you could go walking/running?



Your hair sounds interesting!!!!!Im going to go spy on fb to see if you put up a photo!!!
 
AHeya Girly :)

You are so right about being honest on here. I really didn't realise that i was decieving myself for quite a while but i am all good again now. Totally in obsessed control again. Thank you for your :rant: :) I did need it.
And another huge great big massive thank you for your lovely post on my diary. I was totally blown away by it. I truly have missed you. You rock :)

I think like that too when i have got up late. And it kinda works too. W should be able to sleep half the day away and then we wouldn't have problems with cravings lol. Your hunger will die down sweetie and you know it will, just give it time.
Well done you on not giving in and getting pizza. Pout all you like sweetie...You did it :hurray: You didn't give in to the evil voice in your head trying to get you to cave.

:hurray: :hurray: Well done on staying in control :) And 1700 is a good idea if you know that that will help you stay on track. You are doing so well sweetie. It is so hard getting back on track after a long time away. :)
Ooooh your hair sounds really funky :) photo please :)

Lol i remember the wall jumping incident too :smilielol5:

Love and hugs Xx
 
Princess I knoooooow! Make this hunger GO AWAY!!!! I don't ever remember feeling hungry like this before, I'm looking back at what I used to eat and thinking howthehelldidimanageonsolittle? It HAS To go away soon.


Jasper There is no reason at all for my toes to be swollen! Its just the three middle toes on my right foot, and my right knee is hurting a bit too. Boohisssss. Lol :eek:, I remember the wall jumping incident :gnorsi:. There's nowhere nearby for running at all. The local park has got a great kids play area, but you can walk through the green space in 5 minutes. All the side roads are criss-crossed over each other so I'd have to stop for cars and it would interrupt my flow, or there's the main road which I don't feel confident enough to jog on yet.


Kate Your making me blush!!!!! Thank you x


Well, I am glad I set myself that calorie allowance, because I have needed every one them little buggers today! And I don't have to feel guilt because I'm over that 1300 number. I did walk past a frozen yoghurt shop earlier on. Then I thought "Oooh, yoghurt's almost fat free!", so I walked back and went in, and picked up a tub, and was deciding what flavour I should have, then I looke at the toppings which were mainly sweets, and I saw little white chocolate ice-cream cone shaped sweets that I really wanted and hadn't had in ages. But then I thought that definitely wouldn't be healthy. So I put the tub down, and walked out the shop. YEAH!!!! Then I went and bought some low cal sushi instead.


I haven't really had bad cravings all day, but I have now. I think its because I've spent the day doing uni work, because usually I get myself a huge bar of chocolate so I can come back, relax and watch telly and "Treat myself" (aka "Destroy myself"). I have a deadline in 9 days time, and I am going to try and exceed expectations mahoosively. The best work is showed off at a fair, and loads of important interior design people go there, and they offer internships to the people who's work they like the best. I know I'm only in my first year so that's unlikely to happen... But still. Anyhow, I'm Going to be going to uni from 10-8 for the next few days, so I think I really need to sit down tonight and plan exactly what I'm going to eat, otherwise I could end up walking that slippery journey to McDonnalds.


Have decided that once I get to my goal weight and go to the posh restaurant for my lobster and champagne meal (Yes, I know I keep going on about it but I'm EXCITED!!!), I'm going to hire out a designer frock. I've found this one which I LOVE, and the great think is that its got built in structure and a bra, so I might be able to go braless!!!! Ooooh! http://hire.girlmeetsdress.com/collections/mini-dresses/products/scarlet-black

AHeya Girly :)

Well done on the healthy shop :) you are well and truly in the grove my sweet :hurray: :hurray:

I had a diet coke today so i had less coffee. I think it is the way to go hun. I'm gonna get a load when we do our shop on friday :)
 
Kate Yeah, I'm definitely getting there :hurray:! Big bottles of Pepsi Max are only a pound at the moment in Asda, and I think in Tesco's as well. Cheaper than the little ones in the newsagents! I got four bottles in my shop, all for meeeeeeeee!


Princess Yup, it is. And coffee is such a con as well, can't believe they get away with charging so much in shops!


Well, I have had a total nightmare of a day today. I needed a specific book which isn't in any normal library's, so I went to a reference library at 12 o'clock, and it turned out that because of "unforeseen circumstances" they would be closing at half 12 till Tuesday! There was a lady in there who had come over from Germany for two days, just to go to this library and look at a certain book! And she only got three hours! I photographed some pages (They charge £4 for you to photograph 25 pages!!!! With your own camera!!!!), and I was in a complete panic cos I need this book to do my research to base my entire work on that needs to be handed in on Wednesday morning- how could I leave the research till the day before? The lady at reception said I should go to the British library, so I went there, waited for ages, to be told I need proof of address, so I went home, got that, went all the way back again, waited ages to join, then waited for a free computer for ages, then finally reserved my books. There is a 70 minute wait on the books as they are all in storage and have to be brought to you, so I waited, and then realised I had lost my bloody reader card. So I traipsed to different departments all over the building looking for it. Waited half an hour then did it again. Then I thought I haven't got much time left, and it will probably be handed in, so I plodded back home lol. If I hadn't of left when I did, I wouldn't have exchanged beams with a two metres away Phillip Schofield, the TV presenter. He has very twinkly kind eyes. So that cheered me up for about 5 minutes anyway, but I have got absolutely nothing done today, and I am screwing.


Breaking news: I wasn't hungry all of today up until about an hour ago! Maybe its ending! I told Nicholas I was going to be out till 9, and to have Cornish pasties, and I'd have an omelette when I got back, but cos I came back earlier than expected while they were cooking, I thought I'd have one for my dinner. I think maybe because it was high gi it is giving me cravings now. Think I'll have some grapes and an apple...
