Huge failure day😱 mum and dad visited yesterday - lots of wine and food from the chipshop😱 trying again today🙂

You're always going to have good or bad days on a diet, you have to remember that it's the long term goal that is important. Being a diabetic as you're already used to differentiating between what food you need and what food you want.

Also don't get too fixated on weight, if you're doing more excerise then you will hopefully be replacing fat with muscle, which is denser and therefore weighs more. Remember to take body tone into account, for example your weight may stay the same but your body maybe firmer.

Obviously I'm being supportive as I also had a trip to the chip shop last night, a guilt shared is a guilt halved

 

[AJLang]

Thank you MacG3 I think that you being so supportive should definitely remove your guilt about going to the chippy. Well being very good today but completely frustrated that I had a bad hypo which required five jelly babies😱 very annoying

I kept to my WW points yesterday and didn't use any of the treat points

Thank you Alan🙂 Beef stew and dumplings tonight

Sounds tasty! 🙂 I went to the shops today and completely forgot that I had designated today as National Pie Day, so I am changing it to National Sausage and Mash Day 😉

 

[AJLang]

Mommy sausage and mash sounds lovely🙂 What type of sausages are you having?

I did REALLY well on Friday and Saturday....but today I had the munchies - one poached egg on toast this morning and a fun sized packet of Maltesers this afternoon😱 But that's not the worst....I've been sitting in the garden since 3pm and I'm now on my third small glass of wine preparing to order a Chinese takeaway........

Oh dear! It happened to me last night - a MOUNTAIN of mashed potatoes and sausages 😱

Your 'sins' don't sound too bad Amanda, and you can't always ignore these things otherwise they prey on your mind. Hope the week to come finds you back polishing your halo 🙂

 

[AJLang]

A mountain of sausage and mash sounds lovely thank you for saying that my sins don't sound too bad. I will aim to get the halo firmly back in place tomorrow🙂

 

[MacG3]

We'll according to the old adverts, showing my age now, eating maltesers makes you ballet dance. That should burn a few calories and get that halo polished

 

[AJLang]

Ha ha MacG3 it would be hilarious to see me ballet dancing

Well it has been a long time since I updated this but reading through it has incentivised me. Since the Susie walks stopped I haven't been very active. My weight did stay steady until I started University in September and I now weigh 15 stone 1lb. My first plan is dry January starting January 4th which I know I will find incredibly tough. However I have to be committed because lovely people are already sponsoring me for Guide Dogs 🙂https://www.justgiving.com/Amanda-Langley3 . Next step was joining WeightWatchers this morning with my first meeting at 10am on Tuesday January 12th 🙂 So I'm going to continue enjoying my Christmas food and drink and then start on January 4th. However I am starting something today - in an hour I am going to join the gym and hope that they will let me to do a workout straight away. Due to the CFS/ME and other problems I will start gently and see what I can and can't manage, particularly important as effect on the CFS/ME may not be seen for 24-48 hours. Apologies for the long post 🙂

Good luck - I understand how difficult it is losing weight. I've not only got the t shirt - I'm in the video 😱. My friends and relations liked me starting diets 'cos they got the contents of my store cupboard and freezer. The only way I could do it was by not having anything 'naughty' in the house - on the principle that if its not there you cant eat it
