Day 106
Good morning! The sun is shining yay! Weight is 152.2, 69 & 10.12. Not too bad. I was really good food wise this weekend. Felt like I was hungry all the time and didn’t have enough ready-made food to pick at which was hard so had to keep cooking stuff. I did drink some alcohol but didn’t cave on any food.
It was hard yesterday. I really wanted a twix. They were just sitting in the cupboard waiting for me. Maybe I should ask James to hide all his stuff. He ate about 100 biscuits in front of me yesterday. Thanks!
I had a tuna salad with cucumber and a little low-fat cheese for lunch, then made a chicken roast joint and just ate a bit of that. Every time I craved a twix I got a dukan choc muffin, so ended up eating three of those! Ha! Only had one slice of dukan bread so was probably ok on the oat bran front. Good job I had those in the fridge or I may have cracked. I keep thinking to myself, ‘Do you want to lose weight or not?’ Then the naughty side of me says ‘its only a twix for heavens sake’
Naughty naughty side. Felt pretty down yesterday and could have cried at any moment but managed to hold it together. Not sure why I keep feeling like this, but feeling ok today!
Will have a run tonight and am applying for two new jobs that I really want so need to finish off those applications.
Saturday I went for a walk in the morning with 2 of my sisters and 3 nieces and 1 nephew and James. Went round to the Viking Ship, which is an exact replica of a viking ship that came here years ago. (Obvs didn’t listen at school – that’s all I know) I’ll take a pic next time. Its a lovely area overlooking the sea and has a grassy area and a mini cafe too. We stopped for a cuppa then I raced the kids to the ship and back. (any excuse to get my exercise in!)
Have a good day!
Congrats on a successful weekend Shannon!
I don’t think the cravings ever go away really BUT your ability to deal with it gets better. I still get annoyed sometimes that I can’t have ‘x’ but the longer you stick with the diet the easier it is to be able to resist temptations.
You are doing so well, the hormonal / emotional thing really makes it so difficult!!!! Sometimes I think its not ‘real’ hunger you feel but more a hormonal hunger, I get it, and it always seems worse when your hormones are everywhere. We know you dont really get physically hungry on this diet (unless you’re under-eating). Keeping this in mind helps me, I’m not depriving myself of anything by not eating junk, I’m saving myself from a tummy ache! 🙂
Hope your job applications go well for you, have a good day xoxo
Thanks Sonia! it was hard to not eat crap and cant wait for consolidation when I can eat something naughty once a week. the longer I stray though, the longer it will take to get there!! r u going onto consolidation now or carrying on with cruise?
Keeping Cruising! xo
Way to go hanging in there!!!
Thanks Sandi, Im looking forward to hearing how much you weigh after the surgery and its all healed! good luck!
Arghhh…. I know it can be tough some days to resist, good for you for doing it! This is just a thought, but how about just making some space to ‘have a good cry’ as they say? I don’t know if it will help, but just giving yourself permission to totally feel your feelings might be a relief.
