Braces tightened, mouth sore - always leads to successful S days

134.2lbs Weight has gone down this week, which is good and shows the strictness has paid off. Sticking to No S has been remarkably easy because of this. Wednesday included a meal out (one plate), and yesterday included a 6oth birthday party. Part of this was an S event of one slice of birthday cake....

Hi KCCC - hope you have a lovely weekend doing 'fun for you; things. In our house a sandwich with salad is what it says - lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion.... I think you were being short-changed if you were only given lettuce and a bit of tomato. Apologies on behalf on the English sandwich shop :lol:

Just realised I have been carrying a multipack of chocolate biscuits around in my work bag for 2 weeks now. I occasionally get them out and offer them to other people, but haven't contemplated eating one myself. That is a huge change for me - in the past I would have eaten all of them in a couple of...

Hi Exdieter - we can't tell you what to do, but here are some questions to get you thinking: What's the worst thing that could happen if you took the job? Could you handle the worst thing if it did happen? If you didn't take this opportunity, would you regret it? How unhappy are you in your curent j...

Off-topic, but I'd just like to thank you for not following the recent trend and making the subject into two sentence fragments. If this were an ad on a billboard or in a magazine, it would almost certainly have been "Oatmeal. Revisited." Drives me nuts! (Every time I see one of those, I think, "Se...

How much do you want to do the alternative job? You say your heart's not in advertising - will you find more satisfaction in the new opportunity? I took a pay cut a couple of years ago to do something I really wanted to do. Because I moved from the public into the private sector I also lost some of ...

Thank you, KCCC - I will definitely try that. 130.8lbs Success. I've been thinking about which food I really enjoy as a 'treat' so that I can make S days special. I am sick of permasnacking at weekends. I love good chocolate - (especially with a cup of tea!) - but it needs to be good chocolate - not...

131.4lbs Success I am successfully eating less at lunchtime and still managing to make it through to dinner without eating. Dinner is still a bit over the top - I'll experiment with reducing the amount a bit at a time so I don't feel stuffed at the end (like I do tonight!) I've come to a realisation...

I use bits of Flylady's system, too. I have firmly established routines for keeping the house basically clean. I don't always shine the sink, but I do 'swish and swipe' every day - that makes a huge difference to me. I like the whole ethos of getting rid of perfectionism - 'good enough is good enoug...

Time for a bit of reflection, I think. I now have 3 weeks of green days after really struggling to put the Christmas holidays behind me. I worked hard to identify triggers and times where I would trip up - and I found solutions. My weight has stayed fairly stable through January, but I am 3lbs heavi...

130.8lbs Difficult day. I needed to stay at work until 8.30pm so I could collect the youngest girl from cheerleading. This meant no dinner until 9.30pm. I knew that if I waited until then to eat I would be crabby, cold and tired. So I built a snack into my day - toast and fruit about 5.30pm. This ke...

Successful eating weekend from Friday to Sunday. Quite a lot of eating... but I'm not worrying about that just now. This weekend was a bit of a crunch time, family-wise. Things needed addressing and pulling together and I think we've managed to do that for the time being. We need to make sure that w...

Thank you KCCC - you are always there with kind words and good advice. I was so tired and defeated when I posted yesterday. I am still tired today, but more positive. I like your '3 legged foundation' - I do eat well, but sleep and exercise are more difficult. It's difficult to stop and focus when t...
