Swarah · Post by **Swarah** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 9:07 am

Reminder to self:

check in for the next 6 weeks;
don't cheat (you're only cheating yourself blah blah blah.....);
don't believe the cognitive distortions;
reward yourself (not food) each week;
6 weeks to Majorca - this will mean the difference between bikini or nokini;
whatever happens, remember I love you!

OK - go!

Majorca! There's some motivation

I am trying to work out what your dog is doing in the photo. How did she get her ears like that?

Swarah · Post by **Swarah** » Wed Jun 25, 2014 3:19 pm

Haha! He's peeping! I probably had food. His ears are sometimes up sometimes down and sometimes one of each! He's half collie, quarter lab and quarter rottie so goodness knows what they'll do eventually (he's only 5 months old).

Many thanks Linda

An unbelievable 7lbs down since Tuesday! However, I think I'll stop the regular weighing in because obviously I cannot maintain this rapid loss and don't want to dishearten myself when the scales slow down (which is probably from now on). I think this massively illustrates how my weight gain is down to snacking between meals (which I knew, of course). I am naturally a thin person, who developed a ridiculous snacking habit over many years. I can feel the slim me beginning to emerge again and it feels GREAT!

Breakfast: portion 'breakfast biscuits'
Lunch: Leftover roast chicken, green salad, packet quavers
Dinner: 2 pieces garlic bread, moussaka, little roast potatoes, millioniare's shortbread cheesecake

Breakfast: pbj on 2 slices toast
Lunch: pizza, cheesy garlic bread, chicken wings, salad (we hit the hut)

I have decided to weigh in once a week now after my initial mega weight loss (Saturday morning seems ideal and hopefully will give the most encouraging numbers!).

Breakfast: 2 weetabix, semi-skimmed milk and milled linseeds
Lunch: cheese, beetroot and salad cream sandwich
Dinner: salmon fillet, sauteed garlic mushrooms, green beans, guacamole

Have decided to experiment with intermittent fasting, basically eating all my calories in one (large) main meal. So, today's check-in is just:

Dinner: bbq chicken and pork, salad and rice

Swarah · Post by **Swarah** » Tue Jul 08, 2014 11:45 am

Yesterday's IF experiment went really well, but woke up really hungry today so think in the longer term this won't work (!) so today:

Breakfast: bowl muesli
Lunch: ham and gherkin sandwich and packet crisps
Dinner: spaghetti bolognese
