Vicnic's Daily Check in

Right, cancelled my WWers subscription. I am in such an obsessive/negative cycle regarding food and weighing myself (2-3x/day

) something has to change. I am 14lbs above where I would like to be but in the last 2 years I reckon I have taken those pounds off and put them back on about 5 times.
I have made a pact with myself not to weigh myself until just before Easter when my husband and I are taking a holiday with friends without our children. The not weighing will be a big deal for me and very tough but I have to break this obsession as it affects my mood so dramatically. I have a pair of US size 8 shorts which I can do up but wouldn't be seen in public in, I would like them to fit well. They will be my guide.

Today was obviously an S day and by saying that for the first time in months I don't feel guilty about being slightly off the rails this weekend.

Good day 1 - SUCCESS Having to eat without my husband otherwise I would never make it. Cannot go from 1pm until 8.30pm.
Had lunch out with a friend and enjoyed it.

Day 2 SUCCESS
No exercise as had to pick DS up from school mid morning as he is sick.
Ate nutritionally balanced meals and plated up my pad thai and couldn't finish it all, so that's my lunch sorted for tomorrow.

Weighed myself only once so that's an improvement. Will try for a day of no weighing tomorrow. I think I need to take small steps where that is concerned. My aim is to get to a point where I only weigh in monthly.

Weighing yourself won't slow down your weight loss, so don't worry about it, just don't convince yourself that it means anything. Glad you are doing well!

DAY 3 SUCCESS
Good day yesterday although very hungry late pm. Managed to ignore by focusing on the fact I was going to have a really nice dinner which on a 'diet' I wouldn't have been able to have - homemade lasagne, one slice of homemade garlic bread and salad. All fitted nicely on a dinner plated without being piled high

Thusday is my official WI day and I have lost 3lbs this week so very happy. I gained for some unknown reason last week so this is that plus a little extra.
Aim for the week, is to steer clear of the scales until next Thursday. I am not at a point where what they say doesn't bother me. But I am keeping in a mind something Saire sent to me - There is no ideal weight, only ideal behaviour

Well done! I'm really glad that you enjoyed your lasagne so much. Did you wait for Mr Vicnic? I really enjoyed my chicken enchiladas as well - made them with fajita spice instead of chilli powder and they were very good.

Day 4 was a success until I went out with a friend wo doesn't eat so I only had half a bowl of chips for dinner (and wine) so surprise, surprise I ate crisps when I got home. So FAIL

Day 5SUCCESS
Day 6&7 S days and not too bad at all, no sweets but a couple of snacks and take away on Saturday evening.

Day 5 FAIL
Was fine until about 7pm and then decided to virtual plate my dinner so I could have something before waiting for DH. Big mistake, just ate for England then.
