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

[Sazza]

Some good work going on here peeps, good on you loloma and Kp you are doing fab.

I was good for couple days eating wise but have fell off wago again head just not in right place, i am a major comfort eater in times of stress. I have been keeping up exercise to be honest think i am maybe going bit over top at moment, bit like lunatic i want constanly exercise to avoid my mood and head. Have covered 15 miles in total today with variety of Cardio exercises. Going try again from monday to hit on head eating wise but with stress of meetings looming over my future etc i doubt it best time. Aslong as i keep on with exercise at moment i will be content with that as hopefully i may shape up inch wise even if weight don't change. Just don't want gain.

Sazza don't over do it. I walked for about 5 hours today in the fresh air, because the gym is closed and I promised myself only Monday to Friday. It can get addictive, although once you get into the eating regime it's good. Slipping is easy to. I'm keeping my eye on the prize.... me (well the me that's inside me).
Feeling still very vulnerable and have crying periods. My favourite song at the moment is "I will survive" by Gloria Gaynor. Want to permanently implant it on repeat in my ex's small brain. :mad::D;)

Okay, KP, I'm in. I made my husband hide my scale a few months ago because it depresed me so.

My goals: exercise 4 times per week (curves), 3 veggies a day and only one sweet.

KP... May I suggest that once you hit some numbers on the scale that you then put a chart (which charts weekly weight and nothing more frequent than that) on your fridge door or the place where you great weakness is placed.

The reason I say this is they say the mind thinks in pictures and not in words so to see the chart when you have the urge to be naughty is likely to make you question yourself and, if you indulge, may make you think about minimizing it rather than just not controlling the quantity.

Just a thought.

I have drank more this weekend than last. Last night I was at a party and in total I had (:oops:), Ok, I had, one bottle of wine, one cider and one brandy. This was over a long time period (8pm - 3.30am), however no sweets or chocolate. I drank lots of water.

I am not beating myself up, I had an amazing time even though I was anxious about going although that was silly as these people are friends I've know years. I laughed more than I've done in ages, especially the wig swapping - it was fancy dress.

Today I have been sooooo lazy, I didn't get out of bed until 2pm and both H and I have just chilled.

Back at it tomorrow

OOO KP you dirty stop out. The drink ok will let you off with that one, but coming home after 3.30 in the morning. Thats worse than standing on street corners. ;)

I am sooooooooooooo jealous. But glad you had fun and let your hair down literally :roflmao:

A quick update. Week 3 and still going very well. Still no alcohol during the week and very little chocolate.

I even survived not going into 2 chocolate shops yesterday and in the 3rd, I bought toffee for Christmas and 5 small chocolates, 3 for H and 2 for me. I had a truffle one last night and it was wonderful :rolleyes:.

I did have a panini for lunch yesterday whilst out with Crafty Cath, but that was allowed, I needed lunch.

I haven't weighed myself this week but I think it is going well, I shall wait and see.

((HUGS))

Great job all :)

Today is the 2nd day of continuous walking for me as I ease back into my routine. The pain is subsiding as I figure out a way to work with my diet. The stress of having my husband back to work and oddly certain people out of my life is surely helping, hmmm, less clenching in my gut causing less reaction, maybe. :cautious: Still some issue but less in the mornings so this is the time for me to get in what I can.

My eating is better. I am a starver/binger as well, comfort eating is a HUGE issue along with lack of appetite. Although I'm underweight once any comes on it's usually not good so I have to make sure I'm careful about taking care of myself. I appreciate everyone sharing here, it really helps me knowing that I am not alone in this struggle.

peace and ((((((((hugs))))))))))

Way to go Kp i could do with some of your motivation. Srain great stuff on getting into the routine, getting the routine going is often the hardest.

I hate to say that my eating better has failed to take off so far, i have been keeping up the exercise but know need tackle eating to progress further. I want to eat more when i exercise though so counteracts grrr. I need willpower.

Today i have completed my fitness challenge, i completed it in 5 days had 3 weeks to do it. So feeling rather chuffed with myself, i have worked my butt off (not literally sadly lol). I have really pushed myself and am realising i am capable of more than i realise fitness wise i think, maybe i just need to transfer that to other areas of life.

 

[KP the nut]

I am sticking at it. I haven't weighed myself but I am feeling fitter. I'm trying to walk the dogs each night but sometimes it is difficult. I am walking a bit further with them though and although I need a rest at the top of the slope it is not for so long.

I'm struggling a bit physically and mentally but I'm proud I'm not binging on alcohol or chocolate.

 

[Sazza]

Youre fab KP, despite struggling at moment you are still keeping on track. That says alot about how far you have come on your journey keep at it. Proud of how well You're doing. Enjoya Nice treat of wine you deserve it !!!

 

[KP the nut]

Bedtime again. I'm sat with my hot milk. I had 3 glasses of wine and a M&S dessert (didyou know that desserts spelled backwards = stressed, you can't ague with logic like that :p) So no major binge.

One day at a time = another day accomplished.
