nice...

Nice loss this week. Pretty impressed with myself, even though I didn't really do much out of the ordinary except not eat as much - it's been a bit difficult the last week or so. I've been making the most beautiful meals and not eating any of them myself. I think I've cried most of my weight.... "wahhhh i just want the garlic mash mummy pleaseeeee" haha! temper tantrum ahead.

2.5kg down.  Couldn't be happier with that weigh in... I hope I can keep it up... I'm so close to double digits now!!! only 12.1kg's and I will be 99.9!!! WOOHOO!! I cannot even fathom when I was that last... The lightest I remember is in the 120's...

I LOVE MY BAND AND I LOVE WEIGHT WATCHERS!

Hand in hand, they are both the perfect weight loss solution. <3<3<3

Moving again...

1.4kg down this week... finally had a decent loss after 4 weeks.

Happy again :)

Just need to be careful this next week, because last week was badddddd....and some people dont get the results until the week after... so hoping I'm not turning into one of those...

extra exercise is a must this week!!!

:(

really bad.

:(

Every day I have eaten over my allocated points.

Not really much food in general, but just the wrong foods.

It's so easy to pick the wrong things.

Doesn't help that I've been a bit down in the dumps this week.

I don't know if I want to go to WW tonight.  I'm scared :(

I hate this.

I obviously won't be eating hardly any of this menu, purely because I struggle with quite a lot at the moment... but I'll try a bit of each and every thing there is written down.  

The no loss of last week has really hit a nerve.... not a good one... I'm having a terrible week with food. I'm just a bit down in the dumps...  

Don't take your tablets at night if you're really tight...

I've been having odd painful feelings for a while now... like food goes through majority of the time, but not smoothly... feels like it grips on it's way down... i feel kind of dry.

Well, I'm pretty sure I've figured out what it is... taking my tablets so close to bed time.  They somehow must sit around the opening and stick to it or something because I'm laying on my side and not sitting or standing so there is no liquid for it to digest in... I even tried taking them an hour before bed last night and today so far has been horrible.  So I think it's move it to midday or similar.

I took my tablets before lunch today, so if I feel better tonight and feel fine in the morning then that will be a definite yes. I'm already 98% sure that's what it is, but it can't hurt to test it out, right?

Anyway... just a short one today... Don't feel myself

UGHHHHHHHHHHH

500gm down this week.

I'm going to try and make an extra effort this week to eat MORE food and better quality food to get my points up. I'm always having low days and because I need to fill my points, I eat bad stuff at the end of the day, otherwise I wouldn't have had enough.

I started this morning by making porridge... nice effort, but didn't go down.
I then opened a small tin of baked beans; they went down OK.
Home made pasta for lunch: Cabonara with a twist... Penne, Ham, Sauce made with Cream/Eggs... garlic, mustard (wholegrain and dijon) coriander, mixed herbs, salt and a Mediterranean Blend spice squeeze thingy...  turned out SO yummy... but this is taking so damn long to eat... I just get so SICK of chewing... Back on the liquid diet I would have been dying to chew... it's funny how when we go to extremes either way we get fed up easily, yet if we were in the exact opposite position, we would be as equally fed up...

Just a thought.

My WW leader re-set my goals last night to my 25% and 30% goals because I'm "doing so well". If only she knew how discouraged I've been feeling the last few days. I got home and had a cry last night and thought it's about time to up my tabs a bit.  My doctor always prescribed me as 1-2 tablets once a day and I've always gone just the 1. After the way I felt last night I upped to 1 1/2, so I'm hoping that will make me feel a bit better. I need to keep myself out of the hole because if I get into it again then I will make this journey a lot harder for myself than it should be.  Stupid brain, why can't you just be happy! >:[

I feel like I've become a little socially retarded since moving here. Don't get me wrong, I can socialise perfectly well, but as much as I really want to socialise MORE, I equally as much don't want to... I have met two really nice girls at weight watchers and would love to be-friend them more, but I always feel like I'd be a pain in the ass or a nuisance to them.  They have already organised a birthday dinner out because I found out I have the same birthday as one of them, and the other has invited me to a demonstration party thing which was nice... She has even said to go around there if I wanted to... but ERGH. I just feel like I don't even know what I'm doing anymore.

I think it's going to be harder from now on in

400gm loss this week.  Bit down about it, but could be due to not eating enough.  Trying my best to eat more this week, had a very low day the other day because I was really tight and even threw up my water at one stage, the next day I had a bit more than I should have hoping that will level out a bit.

Going for a walk tonight, will try and get in another before Thursday.  I need to get back on track with my walking, been a bit slack lately.
