This is the time

Hi Felici! I really hope that things are continuing to wind down for you and that you are able to focus more on yourself a little more with each passing day. :) I love your continual thought that you're putting into your healthy behaviors. That is definitely the most important thing! We can "eat perfectly" all we want, but if your brain isn't in tune with what you're doing it will end up a losing battle. You're doing great!

I think that you are doing great. You seem to have much better control over the binges and you are basically letting your system recover from some less than controlled eating. A sodium gain is par for the course and monitoring sodium and drinking water is bringing that out of your system.

However you look at it - clothes feeling looser and the scales showing a rapid loss have to be looked on as good signs. You may not think that it is worth getting excited about because of the recent gain - but I consider it well worth celebrating. :party:

There are definite positives in some work rolling in too. Not only will the money be most welcome - but it will provide a distraction. It is much easier for our mind to wonder towards food if we are in the house.

Take care
Love

isnt that lovely wionter weather creeping in nice and crisp!! hehe
Good to see im not the only one dealing with it, this morning i rode to work wearing cycling gear, warm woolly jumper, and jacket on top!
 
Just looking in on you again. I hope that you are still ok.

I know that you sometimes look in without posting. Just incase - I have something that I have been meaning to mention to you. I remember that you like your carbs and are a weetabix for breakfast girl like myself.

I had forgotten until really recently how good weetabix is if you make it up with plenty of milk the night before you want it (or a couple of hours early anyway). I put mine in a container with a lid in the fridge. When you open it up - it has really grown and you feel like you are eating something much more filling.
 
she has a new username, but shes still busy moving. She sould really talk to a mod and get her old one back lol
 
Wishes you're right, she should come back to her old one!! Felici good luck moving, heaven knows I've done it enough in the past few years to know how terrible it is! Come back soon though, you are missed. :)
 
I hope that things are going well for you. I have to put the message here as I have no idea what your new username is.
 
Hi Felici!

Hmmm... just checking in to say hi, as you were SO supportive and helpful to me when I was around before!

It seems you are on the move... Well, I hope you are doing great, and let us know your new name when you change it!

Hi.

My apologies to those people who've posted in this diary while I wasn't around, and to whom I haven't previously replied. Mostly, it was some months between the time you posted, and when I saw the messages. I don't recall visiting here at all between the time of my last post in this diary and the time I registered under a different username so that I could say "Hi" to wishes.

At that stage I couldn't post as felici, because I'd messed up my access to this account. I changed from one internet provider to another nearly two years ago, but I never got around to changing my email address here. I was constantly on this site and I had an easy password so it didn't cause me any problems. However, after I'd been gone a while I had a security scare and reset everything - using obscure passwords! I wrote the password down, but didn't do anything more at WLF. Then I lost the password list. It didn't matter for other sites where I'd updated my email address but it did here.

So when I had an intense desire to speak to wishes, I had to open a new account. Recently I made a few posts using that account and pm'd for help in re-accessing this one. AllCdnBoy has been very helpful so that's sorted (Thank-you, Sean), and those posts I made are now showing as felici's.

What next? I don't know. I feel rather nervous posting anything here as felici. I had told myself I wouldn't post until I knew what I wanted to say here, but there you go. I don't know and I have posted.

To the people who were my loyal friends here, please forgive me, mostly I haven't tried to get up to date with you yet. At one stage, it was beyond me to post here and I just stayed away altogether. Later, I didn't feel ready to post, and I also couldn't use the name I was known by here. It was all too weird. Oddly, I'd taken in the idea that I couldn't send pms under my new name without noticing how little it would take to change that.

Now, well I've moved on from thinking that typing here again will mean I have to put myself back in the place I was when I left, which I did think and which helped keep me away. Now, I think I'll be healthier if I include this site as a part of what I'm doing - reconcile my time here with my current life I guess?

Anyway, at the moment I don't plan to use this diary in the way I once did, but I'm here, and the account I've been using has been amalgamated with my old one, so I guess people who knew me might see recent posts with my name on it. With that in mind I felt I needed to explain how that happened. Also, for a long time I've wanted to apologize for not replying to the truly kind posts I had here months ago.
