Great to see some old faces back! June is looking a bit busier around here.

Awww sorry to hear you've put weight back on so quickly Ophelia but accepting where you are right now is a bit step forward, so well done! Sounds like you have a good plan - you'll be feeling much better about yourself very soon :)

Week One
1: No WI
2: No WI
3: 265.5

I was too curious to wait to WI so this is pre-bathroom/pre-TOM. I was hoping that the damage wouldn't be more than 266 so I'm relieved, although annoyed with myself. I looked back and realised that I haven't been eating/exercising well since mid-March, and this WI is an 8-pound gain since then. I'm hoping that post-bathroom/TOM/bloat that this'll end up a bit lower.
Yesterday I did 52 active minutes and 8450 steps, which I'll try to match or exceed today, and I bought some chicken breast this morning to get back into my chicken/pulses regular dinner.

Oh my goodness, look at all these long lost faces returning. So good to see people coming back.

Ophelia: Today definitely counts. Sorry to hear you've had a rough few months. Your schedule before you left sounded pretty brutal, so I can definitely understand how it happened. But you have so much determination, I'm sure you'll get right back on track and be at least back below where you started 2019 in no time.

Newlyn: Glad to hear that the damage isn't as bad as you'd feared.

Riestrella: I"m too lazy to calorie count, too, so I instead focus on the choices themselves. More veggies, more fruits, more proteins, and as little sugar as I can stand.

Hey, new low and that puts me 84 pounds (6 stone) down, 1 more and I can change my avatar again.

Hmmm. Seem to be going the wrong direction! Its TOM but that doesn't normally affect me actually, in fact normally I drop a kg the day before - seems the only explanation this month though! I could eat less, but don't really think i'm actually gaining fat, so i'll ride it out for a bit....

Boyfriend has been sick the last few days which has thrown me off since he usually cooks while I'm at work. When I come home at the end of the day I'm starving and need food, but when that didn't happen I went to the store and got a frozen pizza instead. So frustrated with my hungry brain!

I'm having one of those days where I feel so bummed out about my weight. I ordered some more clothes for summer because I'm too big for everything else. On the one hand I really like some of the pieces I ordered, but there were some shorts that are super comfy but kinda feel like "fat pants"?? I know that sounds bizarre, but they're so practical vs. something I feel I look good in. I store all my weigh on my torso while my arms and legs remain normal, so while the waist band fits great the shorts just kinda hang loose on my legs. It's so hard for me to find shorts/skirts that work in the summer because of chub rub! It's so freaking painful for me, even if I go bare legged with no under shorts for the dresses I own within about 5 steps my legs feel raw. I hate summer with a passion haha!

Maybe when I'm a healthier weight summer won't feel as bad?!

Ophelia - Sorry to hear your new schedule made it difficult for you to stay on track. I know that feeling oh too well since I'm back having regained some weight too!

Lacerta - Yeah I think I need to just start making better choices too instead of thinking too hard. The moment I try to plan anything food related it goes out the window the next day.

sgregg: OMG :congrat: Onederland girl!! Way to go!

Thanks Newlyn and ophelia

Ophelia, I feel exactly the same about 'good' choices being normal. Over the past couple of months when I was totally out of control, I couldn't even remember how it had felt to eat well and exercise. Now that I'm more or less back on track, it seems bizarre that I was eating 1500 calories of chocolate a day. And I was in a kind of haze, really groggy and unmotivated. This is such an odd, up and down process.

Thanks, Lacerta! I've seen onederland a couple of times now. If I would just stay strict on eating correctly, I'm sure it would stay down...lol.

Ophelia, I feel your pain about snacking. I have to make myself just not snack on anything throughout the day or evening, and it is so hard. I have a bad habit of just wanting to munch on something, especially when I'm stressed or having to use my brain a lot. I'm working on masters degree, and I have two weeks left...been trying to write a big paper, and oh...my...goodness...it is so hard not to munch on something salty.

Still higher than I want, but had a bit of a lapse on Tuesday and ate poached eggs and avocado on olive bread toast as a completely extra meal to what I 'd normally have, and had some crisps and wine at night when I wouldn't normally consume any calories after around 5pm. Would've been double what I normally have in calories for that day - blaming hormones again!!!

Yesterday was completely different, normal, didn't feel the urge to eat any more than normal. It shows how much we're at the whim of whatever it is that tells our brain to eat, and makes doing anything against that, so hard. Also probably shows that i'm lucky that I don't have strong urges like that very often.

Respecting all your efforts - those who are fighting :hug:
