Put that down, fatty!

Please don't tell me you only ate 200 cals today! Don't punish yourself for one 'bad' day of eating (which probably didn't surpass maintenance calories for you). Just pick up where you left off!
 
Ruth, I'm at a 14-16 now instead of an 18 but have a long way to go still!!

No, Mystic, intended to eat more!

Basically I got home from work last night and started feeling poorly and about an hour later I had the worst vomiting and diarrhea I have ever experienced. Absolutely horrific! Sicked all over the carpet, ruined the bathroom completely, passed out, had a fever and couldn't even keep water down! So that's carried on all through the night--had about 2 hours sleep. So I've taken today off work but still just feel horrible. Have kept a little water down but not eaten a thing since yesterday lunch and don't feel like I can face food yet. Yanks gone to work but I can't stray too far from the loo so waiting for him to finish and bring me something to rehydrate me.

So it's been quite shit really! On the plus side, the weight I put on has fallen off and I'm back to a solid 204lbs today. I was weighed in at 209 yesterday so I've obviously emptied the contents of my tummy several times over!!

So today will be very low cal, I imagine. I'm going to try and sleep most of the afternoon. I'm babysitting over night tomorrow (fo 24 hours, oh my godddd) so need to be better by then.
 
You can't babysit! I am forbidding it!!! So there.

Hope your feeling a bit better now, I had something like that once, it was awful. My whole matress was soaked with sick as I was too ill to move. Had to get rid of it. It is awful.

And, I know this sounds bad, but its quite nice in a way losing weight unintentionally when your ill... It can reduce your appetite afterwards as well as your stomach isn't used to food. So one bonus.
 
Right, food log.

Friday:

Lunch: Bowl of plain pasta
Dinner: 1 slice of toast

Really low cals again :( The scales are back up to 206 though..Not sure why. I had 3 liters of water yesterday. And no salt. But we'll see what it says tomorrow.

Really bad headache today, probably from not eating very much. So just had half a banana and two crumpets. Sure that'll help!

Off to babysit soon. Dinner will be dependent on how I'm feeling and I wont be back until Sunday afternoon so will post again then! :ack2:

Only a pound down this week. Not overly happy, especially since I was so poorly. But I should just be thankful I lost something and that I feel fine now. I also weighed in after breakfast and lunch, instead of first thing in ze morning so hopefully it's a little more than a pound anyway :biggrinjester:

Absolutely exhausted after babysitting. I got 2 hours sleep! :nopity: Got some vodka from my friend as a thank you gift though! Lucky me ;)

Anyway, onto the food diary!

Breakfast: 2 slices of toast and butter (300)
Lunch: pitta crisps (235)
Dinner: chicken and mushroom bake with rice (550)

Total: 1085
 
As you said the important thing is that you feel better now. That sounds like the most horrific virus/food poisoning I can imagine. I have a vomit phobia (my family all makes fun of this, but it is a very real thing), and I don't think I could survive a night like the one you described. I would be in A&E (misusing the NHS resources because I just go nuts when my stomach is not well and I cannot handle it at all). So you did really well, to be up and about so quickly and to do 24 hour babysitting.

A pound down is a pound DOWN! But I know the feeling... such a let down when you tried hard. But just keep at it and it will go, slowly but surely!
 
This is true *nods* You are all very wise and Yoda like.

Yank is poorly sick now so spent yesterday after work making a delicious spag bol that he didn't eat! Luckily the new fridge freezer (OH I LOVE IT I LOVE IT) is up and running so just froze the leftover sauce. Gonna be damnnnn good when he's hungry again.

I ate well. Lots of veg and fruit instead of crisps. Weighed in at 206 again this morning but realised I only drank 1 bottle of water yesterday--So today is alllll about water! Want 3 liters in my face by bedtime tonight.

Hugs and snogs, my lovely fat-fighters xx
 
Thanks darlin' thing <3 Sorry you're hungry :( Have veggies! xx

Up early and off to work. Not heard from the new job about a starting date yet, still waiting for my police check to come back . Feel a bit stuck in limbo. Ready to start my new chapter!

Made a delicious sausage, leek, mushroom and onion stew type thing last night, baked with thinly sliced potato on top. Not sure on calories. 300 for the 3 sausage, I only used one potato and the rest is veggies and low-salt stock so can't have been much more than 550. I also ate some crisps and dip and half a bottle of wine. Struggling to find motivation. The weather is crap, I feel peckish all the time and the scales are consistently at 206. Going to try to have a low-cal day today. I have WW meals and low-cal pasta in this fridge but I also have pizza, chips, garlic bread in the new freezer. Going to try and be strong.

Slow and steady wins the race, I guess.
 
Certainly know how you feel about the weight, been hovering at the 205 - 206 mark myself way too long now.
I accepted it, it will go down eventually.
Slow and steady is certainly the way to go.
Keep it up, you're doing great!
 
Gideon: Glad someone is hovering as well..Well, not glad. You know what I mean. Nice to not be alone.

Thanks Clarrisa!

Today was good. I avoided the cake at work and had crackers and light philli despite it being a very stressful day! Have a huge bite mark on my shoulder from a kid :( Hopefully a hot bath will help! Meeting two girl friends for a cheeky after work drink soon--Going to try and stick to one beer instead of 3 glasses of wine! I've been doing so well with the not drinking but I had wine last night so shouldn't really have it again tonight.

Lunch:
5 crackers with philli.
Jelly

Dinner:
WW meal with chips

Snacks:
handful of crisps
1 beer
 
Hana! I'm catching up on some diaries and I see that you've been easing up in the wine lately. I am so proud!!! I hope it's getting easier to sleep without it, I think you said that was tough in the beginning. Great job :) Ugh, but whatever sickness you experienced sounded *horrendous.* I've never been through anything that bad (thank goodness). I'm glad it was short-lived!!
 
I would try instead of trying to go really low cal, try to go something more middle of the road. You could be feeling really peckish cause you're feeling a bit deprived and hungry, then finally you might have a binge. If you eat more middle of the road (like 1600-1800 cals) you might feel better about this process and feel like it's more sustainable.
 
Thank Mystic, I think you're right. Will try 1500-1700 I think. I have an active job at at 5'10 I imagine I need more calories than I'm consuming.

Gideon, unfortunately that's a daily occurrence. The kids in my class are severely autistic and non verbal--they tend to lash out a lot in frustration. Pretty used to being a bit of a punch bag during work hours!!

Laura! I've missed you :D Thanks so much for stopping by honey--cutting back on the wine has been hard but I'm feeling much less lethargic in the mornings after not drinking the night before so I'm really pleased with the results.

Princess, we must avoid it! So many calories for so little delicious wine :(


Ended yesterday on about 1300 calories. I had my WW meal for dinner as planned, and I had my one beer at the pub as planned! Felt good to actually stick to my plan for a change. And then Yank ate a pack of cookies for pudding and I had an orange. Went to bed full and happy! Plan for tonight is to stick to a WW meal again--Yank had a pizza instead last night so he'll be happy doing that today.

Weighed in at 207 this morning but not too concerned. Will see what tomorrow brings!
