Yikes im 400 cals over today, probably had to do something about the McDonald's I just have!
Now I KNOW I had a long post like 2 days ago about how I'm going to eat well and choose good foods BUT I have sustained that for 3 days. And we got vouchers through today for a free meal for a polite complaint we made which was nice! So I decided why not? Life still happens, I'm going to treat myself. I don't feel like I've failed or anything I feel like I've worked hard to even manage 3 days so treat myself. It will be a while before I get anything like that again because we don't get it often.
I might even do some exercise tonight to reduce it to 200 over but not sure yet, I WANT to but I got to bath the kids, get them in bed and tidy up (although that might burn just as much lmao!)
Hope everyone is enjoying thanksgiving!2 -
Sorry I did not post goals this morning. I’m in the red having practised the main part of Christmas dinner so that I could freeze prepared items for my husband and give him a time plan for when he is alone Christmas Day. He will have to do carrots from scratch but I’ve prepared a stuffed chicken breast, the veg for roasting and all the trimmings. I have to confess to having my usual Christmas brandy after my meal and acknowledge that I was not testing that for my husband as he does not drink brandy! Tomorrow I will make a start on making decorations for the Christmas cake. I’ll get it iced and wrapped so that it will be a surprise for him Christmas Day.
Good wishes to those of you who are celebrating Thanksgiving.3 -
Lol who keeps "disagreeing" on stuff?
Someone's disagreed on my 5lb challenge stats lmao!

It's probably just a mistake. I have accidentally hit the disagree button myself without noticing. It's very easily done on a touchpad. I just went back to check, just in case. Lol! But it wasn't me.1 -

Eugh Casey is poorly and she had been crying for 3 hours straight.
It's just a cold but yesterday she was so congested she was vomiting because she had swallowed all the phlegm or whatever. And had a soaring temperature which I treated with ibuprofen and it did come down.
And today she seems better in herself in that she doesn't have a temperature and she's ate her breakfast but she just won't stop.
She seems massively restless too.
I've just put her in bed a minute ago in case she was struggling to sleep on the sofa and I'm hoping she'll stop soon. I'm pretty sure 3 hours of crying would tire her out. But she normally just naps on the sofa?
Oh I don't know. I think she's stopping now. I'll have to wait til she's fully asleep before I sneak out lmao.3 -
Friday November 29th
Another day of not posting and I’m probably in the red again - I’ve not logged yet! I have made about 100 sugar snowflakes for my Christmas cake and I did meet my Fitbit exercise goals.3 -
Casey started crying again the minute she woke, wouldnt eat. Etc etc screaming ow ow ow. She then wouldnt let me touch her, then whacking me sayi g no no.
So i got ash to ring the doctor, he got an appoingment for 30 mins later and i swear the second he put the phone down she stopped. I went anyway and just looked like a flaming idiot4 -
So this morning, as I figured,my weight was up. By 1.5 pounds, so not as bad as it could be. I decided to get back on track.. even logged in what I had planned to eat today. But this time of year I struggle. I know it is seasonal depression, plus just the holiday losses I always feel, plus I was tired, plus it is raining outside.
so I had to go to the drugstore to pick up my daughters pills .. decided I would get just one snickers Ice cream bar. Then they had Chocolate Marshmallow santas on sale .. 2 for $1.00, so I bought 2 of them. Then .. they had those little boxes of individual wrapped chocolates on sale ... 50% off. My daughter loves these, so I thought ... I'll put these away until christmas.
I am embarassed to say this ... but I binged big time, and ate all of this stuff, except for one of the boxes of chocolates. But ... I ate the snickers candy bar before I even got home, plus both of the chcolate marshmallows santas, and one of the boxes of chocolates ... and there are 12 chocolates in that box!!! What is wrong with me. This will not help me to feel better ... in fact... I feel worse.
I know I have to stop this. I am only about 4 pounds away from what my goal was in january .. to get to 178 pounds, which would get me in the normal range. But why do I sabatoge myself every holiday season.
Since my dad died on xmas eve I have been this way. Then my brother who committed suicide on thanksgiving day .. another brother on Jan 3 from cancer, another brother on Feb 9 from cancer. My only sister in Sept. This was years ago though (6 years for my brother who committed suicide). Hubby knows that this time of year is hard for me ... and keeps encouraging me to sew, do whatever I can try and be happy. And I am happy.. I have a wonderful husband, our son called yesterday, our daughter went with us to go out to eat. yet, I get home, and I remember the years we always drove to my family in Iowa .. and the table was set for about 19 of us.. and we laughed, and had the best time. I can't go back to that.. and I have to learn that this is my new normal, and be thankful (which I am) for what I have. But somehow, I know I programmed myself over the holidays to just pig out and eat.
So it stops now!! I need to buckle down the rest of the week .... and stay focused. And I know you guys will understand, especially those who have seen me do this every year!
So please give me that kick I need!!!!!6 -

Right you! You have worked too damn hard to mess up now! And I bet you don't feel like you've worked hard but you've lost over 20lbs this year!!! Wanna know how many I've lost? NON.
I have been thinking though about what you said and all I could come up with, was this..
This thread is all about just for today, what can we achieve in one day because it's easy when you break it down. And you've been doing this for 3-4? Years? So you get the process and how it actually works and it's ability to actually make people succeed if they stick to it.
So I have a challenge for you, and it's a hard challenge.
But just for 1 MONTH (to cover the majority of your losses) do NOT indulge in food to lessen the pain of their deaths.
You CAN do it. I KNOW you can. This is a habit you've had for years and can you honestly tell me it's actually helped at all? Maybe in that split second moment but I know it bothers you because every year you ask for help to not binge in this time and every year you still do it. We can't stop you! I wish we could help in that way but it's down to you. The best I can do is offer you an alternative and hope you take it!
What's worse is that to do this challenge it will need a lot of focus, which will also mean that you will be thinking of you're lost loved ones a lot more.
But you need to do something different! Maybe in the morning of one of their deaths, you can spend some time alone. Think about them, speak to them, think about what they would want you to do. And the answer is not to eat away your problems. Maybe toast to them with a glass of orange juice. Get everything out that you're feeling about it. Then live your day like any other day. Now you'll still think about them in the day. And that might make you want to eat something. But think about the morning you had with them, and have another glass of orange.
I know orange isn't the best, but it's sweet (to help the craving), refreshing and better than chocolate! And I know you love OJ.
It's gonna be hard, very hard but with the momentum you've had this year I know you can keep it going!
TALK to you lost loved ones, might seem weird but they wouldn't want you to sabotage yourself every year!
If you could do it, just this year, then you might just be able to do it every year if you remember the postitive year that you manage to change your habit!
I'm ALWAYS here if you need me!!
Oh and don't worry about last nights binge. It's done now. You've just had thanksgiving, give yourself a break!
.. just don't do it again lmao.4 -
Oh and Joan, I know you have an issue that when sweets or chocolate is on sale you feel like you have to buy it because it's a bargain. Saving money right?
Have you ever though you'd be saving more money if you DIDNT BUY IT!! 😂
Ahh I love you Joan! You're so funny!4 -
@mytime6630 Joan, I thoroughly endorse what Bex said. You have stuck with it through the years. Remember what you have achieved, and build on it, one day at a time.
When I think of my ancestors, recent and distant, I acknowledge the pain of loss, then remind myself of what I gained from having them in my life. My father's last words to me were "Don't you waste time crying about me when I'm gone. Just make sure that you make the most of every moment you have." So when I'm down, I hear his words, and being a dutiful daughter, do as I'm told. I have a lump in my throat as I type this, but I'm smiling now at the thought of how disappointed he would be if I let it bring me down for more than a minute or two. I keep him alive in my memory and heart by following his counsel. And Yes! I do talk to him.
Right this moment, what can you do to make them proud to have been instrumental in raising you?
Just for today is a good starting point.5 -

Bex I have to say for someone still so relatively young you sure have a lot of wisdom.

I had two crappy craft sales in a row. The economy is so bad right now here and I fear it’s only going to get worse. I am hoping next weekend helps make up for the losses the last two weekends.
I have completely failed at eating and logging this week. It’s going to be a bad week this week coming up too, maybe next week I can get get back at it again.3 -
I feel ashamed and sorry for my last post. Bex ... thank you for your encouraging words. I love you all .. and I am sorry .. I think I let a lot of people down, including myself. This challenge is one day at a time ... that is what I will do as well.
I am going to do that challenge Bex ... yesterday is over,and today I did better. I am focusing on making little bears to go to the cancer center for children. I am going to start sewing xmas projects for my friends at the gym. I will do whatever I can to just keep busy, and not let the seasonal depression hit me again this year like it does in years past.
Today I did OK. I went to the gym twice ... thats what I should have done yesterday instead of grabbing junk stuff. I got out christmas stuff... so everything is decorated. I cleaned the house and finished up all the laundry. I even put on lights in our backyard ... made a christmas tree out of upside down tomato cages. And I made myself a plan for the days I am really down. I have a whole list of things I can turn to. I am making a plan for myself to get by these months. I am going to get to my goal of 178 this year!

I am so sorry ... that has to be so hard to work so hard to prepare things for a craft sale and not get the sales. This is one of the reasons why I don't do craft sales. Many people have told me to do it, but it is so much work. I hope that your next sale is a huge success. It could be that since this was thanksgiving weekend, that a lot of people are not in the "shopping" mood, especially with it being black friday sales. Hopefully next weekend will be better for you.2 -

Well you haven't let any of us down! Don't be ashamed or sorry! You posted how you felt and asked for help! Where's the shame in that!
Even if you have to ask for help every day from now until you get 178 then I'll always be here to help
and I'm sure everyone else will! 5 -

Haha you think so? I've always been like this. I was always the person to sort people's $h!t out lmao!3 -
@Bex953172 You have great skills for which we are thankful. Keep doing what you do, and being who you are.
@mytime6630 Wonderful start. One day at a time, right? And you're still here, so you haven't let anyone down, least of all, us. We all need advice from time to time. It's what we do with the advice that counts.
@Snowflake1968 Sorry you had disappointing sales. I don't think people realise the time taken to make hand crafted goods.1 -

Another day of not posting and I’m probably in the red again - I’ve not logged yet! I have made about 100 sugar snowflakes for my Christmas cake and I did meet my Fitbit exercise goals.
It's difficult finding the time to post at this busy time of the year. I've missed a few days myself because I was just too whacked at the end of the day. Would love to see a picture of the cake when it's finished.
@clicketykeys I always inspired by your dedication to improving your teaching to enrich the learning experience of your students. They are so lucky to have you in their lives.
My weight loss has stalled a little as I've focused on strength training over the past week or so, and am concentrating on getting a little more protein into my diet. The upside is that my muscle %age has increased and BF %age has reduced, so I'm happy to continue with that focus for now.
Next couple of weeks are choc-a-bloc in the run up to Christmas, and I will have to make a conscious effort to not get sucked into my general overindulgence scenario of past years, and maintain my new habits.2 -
Sunday December 1st
How did that happen? I just can’t keep up and now it’s December!
Another day without posting goals and being in the red however I did force myself to meet my Fitbit goals. I did think about not bothering but then things would have been worse....
Tomorrow I marzipan the cake and Tuesday it gets iced. I just hope the board to sit it on turns up on those (ordered from amazon). @terririchards I will post a picture of the finished cake. I enjoy cake icing and have made a few wedding cakes for friends. This one was for my PA (her choice of design and colours for a small family gathering)
