Week 5

True, thanks I wish I was rich so I could go to a food rehab

@LilyBeBack Its time to pick up the loose threads and start all over again. Day before yesterday I had one of those days too and eat everything I would not normally eat and felt a bit off too suppose it serves me right too.

Yeah you're right, thank you I've had mixed feelings about it today, it's stressed me out to the point where I've eaten so much that I'm going to bed feeling sick tonight, but I'm also hopeful because of the good advice I've been given here

@lovinangelsinstead21 Haha we both got what we deserved

Thank you Yeah you're right, I do need to get a routine and stick to it

That's a good way to do it How's it going for you?

@LilyBeBack Forget about last week, ìt's all in the pasta now. I look forward to sharing your refound joy on Fryday.

Oh that was it! I forgot about that

@Orson_Kart well, now I want pasta...

Ooh, behayyyve! I can't remember which comedian used to say that but I can hear it in my head

@TiarasOceanView It wasn't but my mam always used to quote him saying "ooh you are awful, but I like you!" I think it was a sketch where he played a woman and shoved a fella over when he said it

@LilyBeBack Yeah well who was it dang it? For the life of me I cant remember

It's taken me a few days to snap out of it but I've got back on track today

@Srbageldog Yeah that's a good idea My aunty always loses half a stone before Christmas so she can put it back on again without worrying about having to lose it afterwards

True I've done much better today

@LilyBeBack That's good! I, on the other hand, did horribly today. I will focus on losing weight after the holidays. For now, I think I will just try not to gain weight during the holiday season.

That must be uncomfortable And it's so difficult for us to stick to the right stuff even with these consequences!

@sallypup Same! I only cook healthy food, but if I order something in that's what ruins it

@LilyBeBack I do pretty well if I don't eat restaurant food. My home food really keeps me in better health.

Yeah you're right, every now and then I look into trying to sort it out myself but it always feels like a massive undertaking that I can't do. I can though, I've done plenty of things I thought I wasn't capable of so I know I can do this. I could ask my doctor to refer me but it would take ages and then it's a question of trying to get Leonard looked after while I go, everyone I trust works full time and he's still a year and a half away from going to nursery. I didn't know you could do cbt and stuff for yourself, thank you, I'll look into that, and I'm sure the sit ups thing is something you or someone else has told me before but obviously it didn't sink in, I will 100% give that a go, thank you. With the frequency of my cravings I'll be three stone lighter with rock hard abs by next Friday

I wish it could be the same as drinking, I know it's not the same for everyone but when I stopped drinking it was almost easy because I was able to cut myself off completely from every single trigger, but obviously I can't stop eating. The closest I can get is banning myself from all unhealthy foods with no exceptions, but then there's still the tools I use to excuse my triggers, like accessibility (takeaway websites), special occasions like Christmas, etc

this is a fairly typical site that you have to pay for.

Thank you I knew it was going to be bad this morning but I didn't realise I would have completely undone everything I've done so far

@Happy2BeMe That's a good point - clearly I've eaten far too much unhealthy stuff this week but I still can't see how it's six pounds worth so hopefully some of it will come off quick

@LilyBeBack You could have been retaining fluid today too so it may not have been a full 6lbs of actual weight.
