I'm Doing This For Me, Because I'm Worth It

Watch the sugar free drinks KP, and anyone else.

They contain Aspartame and/or Acesulfame k, as both are artificial sweeteners that could cause issues with so many things..

Thanks Amethist, I don't use a lot of cordial, I basically drink v lightly flavoured water. I put about 3cm in the bottom of a glass and top it up with a 500ml bottle of water.

Last time I cut back on alcohol I developed a terrible coke habit:eek: - the fizzy kind that is :rolleyes:

I think I just decided if it's not too expensive I'd like to buy an annual zoo pass. I think it's a good proactive thing to do. And not just for me...because others in my life are happier when I'm happier. And this thread makes me think a lot about my supporter. I mean it just seems better then say eating a pizza or doing anything like that.

Wow. I just checked...50 dollars for an annual. The daily is like 12 dollars a day. Well worth it. There are so many trails and stuff lots of walking. I'm pretty excited now. I just hope the staff doesn't think I'm crazy wondering around several days of the weeks for psychiatric reasons.

For sure food and eating, what we eat and stuff about diet and everything, seems to me a really personal subject in a way, so hats off to KP...

^that's a really good point. Indulging in comfort food might feel like it's something you're treating yourself to, but it doesn't feel very good. Eating healthy though that's a way of telling yourself...you're worth it. That really does feel like taking care of yourself.

:confused::sick::notworthy::speechless: Ooooops.

OK, so it is Friday and I am sat with my second glass of wine. H will not be back for another hour and I have been sat relaxing with my book and a glass of wine.

I suppose that is not too naughty.

James, I so agree. I don't know what it is with the forum, but I feel safe sharing things here. I think it is because whatever the issue is (in this case, being too heavy to register on my scales), we are never judged.

Maybe it is also because I have been through so much, and friends here have been so supportive that I don't mind sharing. Sometimes it is enough to see that someone else is going through the same issues, whether it is PTSD, weight, self harming etc, it is as if it proves we are not crazy freaks.

This time last year I would never have shared like this, I think it shows how much I have developed in confidence and managing my PTSD that I can take this step and shared it with others.

I hope that makes sense, I seem to have entered rambling mode.

Well said KP and James, couldn't agree more!!

I've been good today and actually eaten something and eaten sensibly. Wish I had some of KP's wine though!!

 

[Queen Boudica]

Well done, KP, sounds like you are doing really well with your diet (Hate the word diet, it is fattening, prefer healthy lifestyle)

Couldn't agree with you more about writing on this forum and sharing such personal stuff.

We are not crazy freaks. We've just had a lot of horrible stuff happen to us and we need a lot of help to work that all out and get better.

Keep growing in confidence and sharing. Think you are doing so well

None of it matters KP, I think your great for trying. I know how hard it is. ((((Hugs))))

Went to the gym the whole week, and stuck to my eating plan. Lost 1.2 kilos, so it's a start. The only problem is my blood sugar levels have dropped real low. Spoke to the Doctor and was told to reduce my insuline with meals. It's really amazing that my readings are so low. Just goes to show you what exercise and correct eating can do. Gives me hope that I can do this........:tup:

IMHO, this knocks the socks off what I am doing. Great news Loloma, you should be proud.

Oooops, halo slightly wonky. Maybe 2 glasses of wine to much, a healthy spaghetti bolognaise and a couple over on the chocolates. Still not as bad as I used to be.

I don't feel I have completely blown it and as dear old Scarlet O'Hara said - 'tomorrow is another day':rolleyes:
