Mrs B Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Well done Safneo. Are you still celebrating in style? I have to admit that I can resist (most of) my baking. In fact I have the “reverse†problem – if there’s nothing available, I crave it, and am inclined to binge - on anything else around. If it’s available, I can ‘control’ myself. So, under my desk at work I have a “tuck box†with lots of small chocolate bars, biscuit bars, crisps, nuts and ‘naughty’ snacks in it, the fruit bowl is on the desk, and I basically have a rule for myself that if I want it and have been ‘good’ for the rest of the day, then I can have it. Especially as I think it is good training for the day ‘when’ I no longer need to lose weight. Today I have earmarked a new recipe home made cookie to go with my afternoon mug of tea. As I have said, it’s my way of dealing with wanting these things, so I allow myself a little of the naughty things if I need them, but try to ensure that most of my eating is of the healthier variety. Obviously we all have to find our own solutions to temptation. Meanwhile, I have been having a hooooooooge problem this weekend – which to be honest has been driving me completely up the wall. My jeans (these being the cheapo variety used for dog duties, housework, gardening and the like – bought in bulk short legged lots so there’s always a semi clean pair available) no longer fit me around the waist. I have spent what feels like the whole weekend hitching jeans up with one hand whilst trying to do stuff that I needed two hands for, and hoping that I was not going to end up disgracing myself whilst out with the dogs – as obviously their tender personalities could be scarred for life. Having dug around the house for a belt – I found two – both of which were way too short, so I have had an emergency shopping expedition this lunch time – and now possess two belts both of which are SMALL until such time as I can get back to my cheapo out of town jeans shop and perhaps see what size I actually should be wearing. Then again, perhaps my jeans have stretched. Such are the perils of being surrounded by my baking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have finished a bottle of Baileys......... OOps!! Back on the coffee now. Lots and lots of walking over the next two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm panicking as there was no weigh in last Saturday due to Easter and I'm having a feeling fat sort of time for some reason. I didn't realise how much of a crutch the weekly wi was!

I didn't realise how much of a crutch the weekly wi was! Try not to panic, I never thought I'd survive being in France for 5 days without scales and not having a WI with my CDC for 16 days but it was a breeze really and I lost 8lb to boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs B Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Godin, that is truly amazing. You must really be noticing the effects of losing so much weight. Well done you – and keep up the very good work. 1lb for me this week. I did have a wibbly day on Wednesday too, so I am very happy. Another person at work asked if I had lost weight today …………………….. Oh, and you wouldn’t believe what a happy person I have become since I bought those belts for my jeans and no longer have saggy bottomed jeans to contend with! I am just beginning to see sight of my first target – which is to reach a BMI of 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
