Hi, I'm Kirsty, banded August 2014. My post op dairy

[BandedHun]

Kirsty, emotional eating once we start is always there, like alcohol to the alcoholic. The only difference is that food we "have" to have to stay alive, so alcohol can be band and forbidden but food we have to have every day. We punish reward and celebrate food. There are gonna be days we fall back ( arguments, stress, xmas ) that we USE food to fill the voids ... It's how we treat and deal with ourselves after. Those binges that abuse to yourself will eventually get smaller and you won't want to do it when you hurt, you angry, your sad, you will eventually feel worth more than self abuse and sabotage. Trust me babes, I have days like you have. Ultimately I still look after myself , I still believe I'm more than to hurt myself thru situations I can't control. It's not easy, it never is to let go of what held us back and kept us sane all those years we were overweight. But it gets easier.
A tiny blip in this new life is nothing to be ashamed or feel guilty over... We are human Your beautiful so pull your self up and crack on... We are all here for you!

Thank you all so much

I keep saying the red wine has to stop that's is about 3 times since my band.

I had decided to have two glasses and two packet of hula hoops for my tea while watching the X Factor as an anniversary treat. But I will need to start treating myself in other ways

Thats a good way to look at it....maybe buy yourself something nice as a treat!! I like handbags!! xx

How bad was the weather today... !! xx

You know what as well. Have the crisps. Like I do with the chocolate, the band isn't about dieting it's about real life. Just a lot less of it. Once we start eating like normal and stuff we like but in smaller quantities we become less food focused. The more you deprive the more guilt the more want the more cravings we get.

Have what u like but one of it, one hula hoops. One biscuits. One small chocolate bar, one glass of wine. It's simple, but hard and that why we have our hands to stop is over doing it.

Please don't beat yourself up kursty. Your flying and so what about your blip. Your human

Enjoy the X factor xxx

Its a hard lesson to learn but as others have said this is still real life and things are going to happen, birthdays , Christmas blah blah its a pointless exercise beating ourselves up over it..... just need to reprogram our brains so we don't see them as destructive, which leads to self loathing and on that cycle we go again..... see it as a treat enjoy it and move on...... my weekend has been full of treats..... and i damn well enjoyed it, tomorrow is a new day and climb back on i will its a great lesson learning what we can and cant have within our limits which is great prep for normal life.... i see it as a trade i want something nice i up the exercise..... or cut back the next day.... simpols i want a biscuit = 20 mins on the walker lol enjoy your evening hunni and climb back on tomorrow x x x i'll be with you too x x x

Oh Kirsty

So sorry to hear you're going through such a tough time at the moment. Especially as you're such a rock of support on here.
Hope you and OH are doing alright.
Don't be hard on yourself it only adds to the emotional cycle.
I'd avoid X-factor, it makes me so anxious I'd reach for the snacks too lol
I find the walking dead much more calming and it puts me right off food. ;-)

[kurstywursty]

I Talking today hut I'm still raw I have grazed my way through al, of last night and all of today and tonight...there is no way I will get away with this on the scales :-( as I gave been eating sweets, hula hoops drinking wine. Yuk! So a lot of resolve to get back on to it tomorrow Wish me luck

Why is it we always end up in the spare room? Never the blinkin OH! Lol

 

[kurstywursty]

Well done Kirsty!!! xx

 

[alfiemoomin]

Woop woop small win to keep you going x keep the faith and moving downwards lol x

 

[BandedHun]

Well done Kirsty, babe I've always found after what I consider to be "binge" moments I always loose weight it's like my body burns the high sat fat stuff so easily because my calories are so low for so long. The odd blow out , and I'm not suggesting anyone do it but it doesn't effect my weight loss, it sometimes helps my stalls too because my bodies guessing what I'm doing with it food wise.

Keep up the great work, don't beat yourself darlin and treat yourself ,,, your doing fab xxx

 

[Kar8858]

Oh magic well done!! I might buy some hoopla hoops!!! They are better than the slim fast plan!

 

[WeightlossDreamer]

Woop woop well done Hun your doin amazing! X x x

 

[kurstywursty]

Thanks girls xx

 

[Bear]

I'm with Karina. When can we start the hula hoop diet.

 

[kurstywursty]

I don't recommend the hula hoop diet lol....weig in day today. This week I lost one and a quarter pound

Compare that to 3.5 last week and the hula hoops don't seem like such a great idea right now

Though I'm still delighted with a loss

Bought myself a pair of size 16 jeans in tesco last night. A wee tad tight round the waist but the 18s were far too big. I am wearing them right now and they are great on my skinny legs lol

Giving myself a severe talking to and trying to get back to basics to shift as much weight as possible before my holiday on 18th December

My next two goals....reach 12st 7 (one and a quarter pound away)..... And ...... Reach the three stone mark (2 and three quarter pounds away)

Have a good day out there my girlies
