Evening all!

What a rubbish day weather wise, if it rains much more I will need an ark not a car!

Went into town this morning to meet Rache, we had a pint of coffee each and a good natter.

We were talking amongst other things about head hunger and still feeling like you should finish everything on your plate and not being able to, which is the thing that affects me the most :eek:

I decided its from years as a child of being forced to eat everything, at home at school - everywhere!!!! eat it or one of your brothers will, eat it or you cant leave the table, etc.

Its still very alien to me that I can only eat a similar amount to my 8 year old, I dont serve myself anything like the portion sizes I did but I CANNOT eat all that I do serve.

Anyway enough of my rambling, it was lovely to meet another bander in the 'flesh' and share our experiences and I hope to do the same again soon and maybe meet some more of you too :D

It was lovely to meet up with Mazza and great to get an insight into a bander with more years down the road and of course so much more experience.
I'm feeling thoroughly ashamed of my lack of commitment today.... down in general really. Was so unprepared for tea I got fish and chips and the loo appreciated most of it. Was soo hungry after getting back from the doctors with my youngest (tonsillitis again :( ) and hadn't prepared anything for tea went to the chippy and ate way too fast.
Tell you something it has put me off them. But I have not thrown up like that since having the band and it did scare me I confess.
Seeing the doc myself on friday.... think I need to admit my faults and request an audience with a food psychologist :(

Hey hey hey - you're half way there ... you acknowledge your faults now all you need is a helping hand getting it right. You won't be having fish n chips again or at least you won't be eating them so quickly. :hug99:

I ope your little un gets her tonsils sorted ... have you tried gargling with salt water or diluted tcp (taste miles better than it smells)?
 
If I eat it i'll have to enjoy it. Nibbling will make it soggy lol.

I've not had one yet because there isn't one to have ... I'm going to have something to eat in a minute as I'm off to the gym tonight (nowt new there) and I need energy. Lately I've felt very light-headed when at the gym: not good.

Hopefully one day my exercise efforts will be rewarded with a modicum of decent weight loss (like a nice 14Ib loss in 6 weeks). ... . because today I've felt pretty disillusioned with it all TBH :cry:
 
I think Mazza is the only actual bander who is doing good at the moment.
How about doing the Rosemary Conley with me next week?
It's kick start 1200 cals a day for 2 weeks , then 1400 a day for 2 more weeks , low fat and high Gi...then after the first month I can tell you what your cal limit is from the back of my book xxx
 
i'm doing the 1200 a day at the moment. .. I joined RC last monday. Lost 1Ib last week... so don't know what it'll be next Monday when I weight :(
 
I can't and I'm so upset. I'm exercising as per instructions. I'm eating more this week because of the exercise. I feel very very jaded.

I'm thinking that being on an uber low calorie regime doesn't work for me hence my upping my calories this week (and not listening to 'ol Rosemary). I'm still eating low-fat (everything under 5% fat) hence my not eating the biscuit, but I'm attempting to eat 4-6 meals per day so my glycaemic level isn't behaving like a prostitute's knickers. The meals aren't huge ... but I'm not hungry either. My restriction is back but only very slightly so I have to do something ... :(
 
I think you are right...I mean it's just a case of digging your heels in and not wavvering.
I know I have befuddled my metabolism with years of yo yo dieting and I think my body just isn't going to release anything unless I can do it for a decent length of time to prove no blow outs or binges are on the horizon.
We'll just have to keep each other plugging away til this damn weight shifts x
 
CC- if you're doing that much exercise, then you certainly need to pick up the calories, cuz if you are doing two classes in a row, you are going to burning loads of calories, and since you've not been keeping much down, you aren't going to be in taking very much. So just be careful.
 
I think the RC quick start cals are for people who don't do any exercise other than the five minutes of easy toning in her book and one or two aerobic sessions per WEEK, not per day.
SO thinking about that level of activity and the fact it is only meant to be followed for a small amount of time as a jump start rather than the main body of your plan it makes sense.

I'm going to try and stick to it to the letter in terms of exercise AND food and not be tempted to adjust it or neenify it /mess with it in any way because I want to see if I can do it without scuppering myself.
 
well thanks for that CC I am awaiting somethign similar from a friend who has had surgery on nhs because i have no info to follow at all so that helps too thanks hun xx enjoy the andre bless him

I'm bored of the Andre ..... so I'm on here again and have it on in the background.

Who did you have your surgery with? Doesn't your service provider provide after care?
