Day 1 - on track

As you can see from the title, day 1 and back on track with bonus points as well. I have decided I am going to take it one day at a time and stop stressing over the little things - I have finally realised that I need to make time for me including some time when I do what I want rather than what everyone expects me to do!!

Keeping it short but will be back soon.

Well ...

all I can say is what a failure I am, didnt follow the plan last week and managed to gain 3lbs - didnt even face weigh-in but according to my home scales, thats what I have gained!! Was supposed to be getting back on track from saturday and I still havent managed it. Just really frustrated about it as it seems I cant get my brain around the whole thing of losing weight to be healthy and I dont know what to do about it!!

I am going to draw a line under the last couple of days and try to stay on track for the rest of the week and on saturday I am going to face my weigh-in and accept whatever it throws at me,

Bye for now

Update time ...

Yay, I managed to stay on track today and still have 6 points remaining - not planning on eating them as I am trying to the limit the damage I have done over the last few days.

Went to meet my mum in town today and had a wander around - well, I wandered and she got pushed in the wheelchair - surely I must have earned some bonus points from it!!

Just a quickie tonight but will be back soon.

Oh what a disaster

Confession time, I have been naughty this week and gone over my points - been having a really bad case of the munchies and have given into temptation, only plus side is I know why this time - boredom!!

Getting back on track from tomorrow - not going to weigh-in this week as have other things on but hope to stay on track til the following week - its going to be very difficult for the next 6 weeks though as it is the summer holidays and I will have Jessica at home with me the entire time. Got to get her as active as possible and doing as many things as possible but that dont cost too much, will just have to wait and see what happens.

Going for now but will be back soon.

Weigh-in no 2

Well, I went to weigh-in today and lost 2lbs - making 8 in total and got my first silver 7. I am pleased with it as had a dodgy day and a meal out last week but it looks like I managed to control it this time.

Had an okay day today apart from feeling a bit down - just fed up with struggling all the time - money, not being able to find work, no luck in relationships!! Am trying really hard but it just gets so hard sometimes.

Sorry not got much to say tonight but will be back soon.

Weigh-in result and catchup!!

Hi all,

As you can tell from the title, I've got a few days to catchup on

1) Most importantly - as you all know I went back to meetings on 4th July and weighed in at a horrific 22stone, well I weighed in on the 11th and lost 6lbs - over the moon especially when I think I went out to a birthday dinner on sunday!!

2) One of my triggers for binges is white bread - had a bad binge yesterday but am reducing my points for the rest of the week in order to compensate for it. I have only eaten brown bread today and have had no mad urges to binge.

3) Still having no luck on the job front and it is starting to get me down so much so that I have started looking into care and cleaning jobs.

4) Jess is being okay apart from attitude but I am learning to ignore her and she is realising it doesnt work!!

5) Life is okay at the moment - sorting things slowly but surely. Going to look into college courses for september as I figured if I am not back at work I may as well go back to college.

Going for now but will be back soon

Still going well ...

Having a very good week so far - had a bit of a dodgy day today and I have found one of my triggers so something has come good out of it. I had a roll with my lunch and it started me off eating 2 more rolls!! Just means I am going to have to come off the bread for a while and stick to the ryvita and crispbreads .... doesnt bother me so it wont be a problem. Other than that am still looking forward to weigh-in on saturday and am very hopeful for a loss.

Jess is off out for the evening tomorrow to meet the new guide pack that she will join in september.

Going for now but will see you again soon

New Start

Well, after realising I couldnt do this by myself, I went back to the meetings today and have wiped everything clean and started from scratch. All in all today has been great. Jess and I went for a play in the park and then fed the geese - funny to watch as Jessica ran to avoid them... we then came home and I baked some cakes for my sisters bday. Just got to decorate them in the morning as we are all going out to lunch tomorrow. Kept well within my points as I am trying to save some for tomorrow - not planning on going overboard but need a margin for error. I am not going to expect a major loss at weigh-in next week as I have done it before ... I will just be happy to have regular losses. Its official - it all starts anew from today!!

Here is my menu for today:

Cheerios & skimmed milk - 4points

Chicken salad with kraft light French dressing - 2.5points

Pasta with turkey rashers & vegetables - 7.5points
greek yogurt & sweetener - 1.5points

ww roasted peanut bar, 1 nectarine - 2points
ww cheese puffs, special k bar - 2.5points
solero exotic - 2points

TOTAL: 22/30 and 3 bonus points

See you all tomorrow

Well ....

I give up - cant seem to focus on the diet at all - stood on a pair of scales today and they tell me I have put on but they arent my usual ones so am not taking it as a proper reading!!

I just seem to be constantly hungry and I dont have a clue why!! I have realised one thing today - I am definitely an emotional eater as I had a massive row with my dd and havent stopped eating since. I really want to go back to the meetings but it is yet another thing I cant afford at the moment.

I didnt realise how fed up I am about the whole job thing til talking to my mum and I said to her 'everytime i do something, i seem to be put down!!' I just wish I could find a job and stop having to worry about my finances all the time.

Sorry feel on a bit of a downer tomorrow but am sure I shall be fine tomorrow

Bye for now
