Jasonslea- a loss is a loss, as longs as the scale is moving thats the main thing! Just keep trucking!
I ended up having a minor pig out last night, felt sorry for myself and went to the shop and bought a huge bad of potato chips. Sigh. One good thing is my binges arent as huge as they used to be, so I guess thats progress. Im going to the gym tonight after work, Im hoping if I do plenty of exercise this week at least that will balance out last nights pig out. Hope your all having a good day!
Shari - : a loss is a loss - and the scale moved in the direction you wanted it to go!
Piggin - - not sure what's going on exactly - but just keep your chin up - and remember that feeling bad for yourself is ok - and a pig out once in awhile won't kill you... but food isn't going to fix the problem. Stick with it girl!!!
As for me - things are ok - still fighting the later night cravings... I've gone over my cals everyday so far this week. I'm trying to get used to 1100-1300 cals rather than 1300-1500... I've been in the 1400s every day - so it's not horrible - just an adjustment. I'm going to try to stay as close to 1100 as possible today. - and work in a later - after dinner snack into my cals for the day... I can do this!
Enygirl - not much going on, just missing scottish man and having a self pitying night, so no excuse.
I am always going to want to turn to food when things go wrong or when im sad, ive been doing it for the past 20 years so its going to take time, but i think im starting to gain more control now. Just been out for lunch with some friends, I had a cajun chicken ceaser salad, i asked for the dressing on the side, but it arrived with the dressing on, so not as healthy as I would have liked but still better than the burger and chips my friends had!! Gym tonight, and then to my moms for fajitatas, yum yum!!
Todays calories have been pretty good i think, at my calculation I should have around 500 calories left for my meal with my mum. Also a work out at the gym so im hoping to correct yesterdays damage!
Piggin - I'm sorry you are missing the Scottsman... that has to be horribly hard for you! Good job making a healthier choice today for lunch. One day, minute or moment at a time - just keep moving forward.
I understand the "falling back on food" thing - I have put a sign on my refridgerator that says - "Remember that what is in here is why you want to go in here" It's a reminder that I can't constantly turn to food when it's bigger issues to solve.
Stick with it girl - and remkember - I'm no scottsman - But I'll always listen.
Shari - I'm awaitng TOM's inevitable arrival (which BTW - ruins my goals for far less time then a pregnancy does ) Which is also why the cravings have kicked in. I only crave Chinese food during the week before TOM. - which I caved and ate yesterday. Luckily I ate the one lunch meal I bought for both Lunch and dinner... so I only a 1 bazillion calories instead of 2.
I'm going to focus today more and not cave into insane cravings. I'm working from home again today - so if I actually eat at home and avoid the lovely convenience of all the fast food around me with in a few minutes drive of home....
Alright girls - no weighing in until Sunday - Hoping to see a bigger drop... a few pounds would be GREAT for my Birthday.
These last two days have been SO wonderful! Mama took everyone out of town to get the stuff out of storage and I've had the place to myself this whole weekend! I definitely need to get my own place cause I miss it!
A pound gained today, which is suprisingly good considering TOM is visiting any moment now, sorry TMI!! LOL! Aiming for 2lbs this week, have started the day off well, a bowl of fat free yoghurt, berries and a handful of bran flakes. Im aiming to eat more fruit and veggies each day for this week. I didnt eat enough last week. I have a big business trip on the 10th March, so im hoping to have lost a few pounds by then! Scottish man is also back on the 12th March, yey!! So im really looking forward to that!!
Enygirl - whens your birthday?!
Still here guys,
I had my biopsy on Wednesday and will hear the results by the middle of the week. My baby neice decided to show up two weeks early so it's been a busy few days. I've been laid up with the biopsy (on my rt. breast ouch!) so am going to attempt exercise again this evening.
My Febuary Goals..

Oh well. Move on.
Eny!
