I'm really proud of you Laura! Not anaesthetising because of anything is a great accomplishment, and sitting with the feelings, albeit really hard, is worth it in the long run! I try and play the tape through- how am I going to feel as soon as I binge? I guess instant gratification. But as soon as I am done? Guilt,…

Oh my goodness! So many wonderful posts to catch up on!!!! Happy Birthday Laura!! I hope your day was amazing!!! Oh boy this is a good one, I love it!

yeah I'm gonna check if I can order an oversized boot for y'all to kick me up the bum hahaha. Honestly, as long as I exercise on a non-work day it should be fine. The only time I don't really exercise is when I close (which is most Fridays now) and that's only because I'm running around like crazy in the last few hours of…

Hey! I started with 200lb to lose. I now I have about 165 to go! Last month I joined in a weight loss challenge group and honestly, it's been really fun. Not sure if it's your cuppa tea but the new month actually starts tomorrow. So if you fancy joining go here…

Those tastings should be calorie free!!!! I have no idea why they aren't haha! Lovely that you made some meals for donation... I was received similar things over christmas when I was a teenager, living in the shelter system,. I'm telling ya- realising that someone that didn't know me took time and energy and love and put…

Here is a gift from me to you all! (Mari, your clean slate is in the mail and officially is to be delivered tomorrow love!) It's so hard to get back on track after a few days/weeks/months of slippery slopes. I've been there. https://youtube.com/watch?v=WbN0nX61rIs&ob Alexa just played this and I thought it was pretty…

Happy Thursday :) It's amazing what 24 hours can do. Had a great chat with my therapist and got some things ironed out- and made some calls in…

Holy moly! Another fantastic loss! You are rocking it! I know what you mean about exercise being routine- I'm going to try and dance every night and I always look forward to my "me" time.... the wife gets banished to the bedroom haha.

Yay! Thanks so much for asking me Linda! I am super excited!!!!

Bumping this up :) New month starts in just 3 days!

A day off is good. And the menu sounds AMAZING. Happy Thanksgiving!!

Those weeks can be mega frustrating. I remember a few years back after a perfect week I gained half a lb. I was so upset. But the following week I had a big loss so it evened out. Keep on track, do the do things and it will show for sure! You got this 💪💪

Aww love, thankyou. Trust me I really needed to read this- nice reminder My last post (that I did just now) took me like 20 min to type.... I just didnt have the energy to do it. But I pushed myself. I really need to do this weight loss thing... without wanting to sound dramatic- my life kinda depends on it! And I am so…

Nov 25th Check in * Track food ✅ * Stay under calorie goal ✅ * Not restrict ✅ * Drink 2L water minimum ✅ Exercise sessions this week- 3 (goal of 4) Steps- 10,909 Today I was determined to get a 75 min workout in but I ran out of time. I also wasn't feeling it today- very distracted. I found out today that a girl I worked…

Yeah I used to. I felt like I suffered from FOMO (fear of missing out) One thing I read once was- is the thing doing more FOR you or TO you? If the thing is doing more to you than for you, then it's time to do something about it. Like a pros and cons list. But god I grieved for sugar when I quit, I'm serious! I was scared…

With the dance games I modify it a little bit because of my body not being the most nimble. I don't jump off the ground for example but my upper body does it's part. Even doing twirls are hard because of my balance. I still do a full on workout though! I am proper sweating after, which is a great feeling. I struggle to…

Nov 24th Check in * Track food ✅ * Stay under calorie goal ✅ * Not restrict ✅ * Drink 2L water minimum ✅ Exercise sessions this week- 2 (goal of 4) Steps- 10.745 The steps are extra awesome for me because I was only at 3,668 before I started my workout. A pretty lazy, overwhelming day up until workout time. I was planning…

Yeah finding the balance between the food and exercise is a tough one. It's great you have your workouts down! I have bi-monthly appointments with an endocrinologist. it was mostly with excess hair-growth but also because of my weight. Thankfully I am "healthy" but I probably just have age on my side. He said to me in my…

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME. Oh yes I feel that. When I started my recovery journey with food, I came on here and joined a few challenges but there was one that was so bloody complicated that I just got overwhelmed and gave up! They had like games and stuff to win points, idk. It was a fun concept but I just didn't have the energy…
