Reluctantly I have bought bigger tops ...
I have gone out today and bought bigger tops to go with my huge jeans. All the items were bought from a local charity shop where all money raised supports our local hospice. I cannot stand being so uncomfortable in tight clothes and realise that I have got to try and like myself as I am at all stages of this 'journey'. I bought a book that supports the No S principles and it has 80 recipes that I hope will inspire me to inject something new and different into our currently very boring meal rotations. I have gone out and bought things like olives, avocado, baby spinach leaves, etc etc in the hope that if my food contains more nutrition then I won't be constantly hungry because I am eating only empty calories and my body is not getting fed in terms of what it needs to repair and maintain itself.
I am so fed up with my weight now that I am not posting on these boards hardly at all as I don't want to poison you all with negativity! I have gone up another stone, have heartburn in the night and now also at times during the day. My back hurts when I walk too far. O me miserum!!!!
Anyhow, hope everyone is OK and I wish you all a good day tomorrow.

It might be helpful to post on this board even if you are feeling negative. I'm sure we will not be poisoned
Good on you for trying something new. I love all the ingredients you have listed. I go through phases of eating different foods. At the moment I am loving roasted brusells sprouts. My partner won a seafood tray at the raffles yesterday so I am having prawns for lunch, yummmmm.

I agree, you need to post when you are feeling discouraged--we're all here to encourage each other in this difficult journey!
Your ingredients sound delish. If you find a new recipe that you like, post away--maybe others would like it too . I've often thought we should share more recipes of foods we enjoy. I get in a rut so easily too.
Anyway, glad you are back and posting, and sorry to hear about the weight gain and heartburn. Hopefully getting back on NoS will help relieve the heartburn and help you get back on track with losing weight. Be gentle with yourself and focus on habit. You can do this!

Could you start a check in thread? Then both your tough moments and your wins are there for you to see, and for others to encourage you. It's always easiest for me to stick on habit when I'm checking in here.

I got into the habit of buying clothes at thrift stores when I felt so heavy and now still do six years in! I'm actually grieving a bit that I lost more weight recently and a bunch of clothes I got for only a dollar each don't fit anymore. Where will I find such bargains again? Poor me. But DO buy clothes you feel comfortable in, and that flatter as well as you can find. I felt that I looked good all the way down!
Not sure you won't get hungry eating even good quality food. You will have to learn how much of what you need over time. Can be learned only through experience! But quality food makes a big difference in health over time.
Stick with us! It is very easy to feel disgusted at times and feel very committed only to feel weak and vulnerable later. That is the nature of feelings; they change. But habits can overcome shifting feelings. Commit to habits because you know they are reasonable and sustainable, no matter how you feel at any one moment.
