Haven't posted in a while

Haven't been here in a while. For now the dieting thing isn't working for me. I basically eat what I want. I've bought some lovely new clothes though- and look very nice. If I may say so myself :)
I still need to get an outfit for the wedding of the year. So will go hunting soon. I have invested in one of those corset bra things- It makes you look like you've lost 5 kg's- Brilliant!!
I'm also going to do one of thos dreamwrap things- there's a mobile therpist that comes to your house in our area- to do it.
I know I should eat less- but right now- it's not working. So I'll just dress better!! :))

Verdict on the diet

So I have finished with this diet. The diet that everyone talks about. I wasn't really for me- I dont like to be so restricted in my food choices. Also having a weigh in every week actually makes me binge more, and binge on things like chocolates and stuff. I know of a lot of people that has found this a very good diet but it's just not for me. Having said that- if I lose momentum again, I'll definetly join Weight Watchers- cause weigh ins weekly work for about 4-6 weeks for me- then I start to resent it.
I'm now reading the Greek Doctors diet. I read it last year but I think I am going to try and incorporate it into my daily eating. You have red meat about twice a week, lentils and beans- which is very good for digestion. It has been praised because it is a more balanced approach to eating.

Thes are my little brown shoes. I love them they are very comfortable.


I have my orange shirt with brown pants on. I think this orange shirt is too long for my short body. The pants are another pair with elasticed waist.

Full Lengt 09052007- I don think this shirt does mutch for me- but its comfy.

Same shoes on as yesterday. If I like shoes- I stick with them.

Takeover my makeover

Full Length Tuesday 08052007

I bought this top years ago and still quite like it. The pants are black with an elasticed waist. I bought this when I was pregnant. Still wearing it . I'm too lazy to go buy other pants, but I realy prefer non elasticed waitband with bootleg pants

Shoes Tuesday 08052007

The shoes is like a half boot. When you stand it looks like you have a full boot on.

Week 8

Haven't been here a while, cause I lost motivation, but I decided yesterday- I must carry on!! So yesterday I had no carbs!! Ye- and it actually went quite well!!
My forum buds have kindly offered to help me do a make-over for myself- soI'm taking pics of my clothes everyday so they can get an idea of what I have in my cupboard.
Must say this has really focused my mind on myself and my look. I even pulled out my notes from the make-up session I went to a few years ago.

Tunneling

Didn't have a great week. Was on course and every second or third day they gave us pasta. I tried to only have salad, but by day 3 gave up. Also ate A LOT over the weekend - so expect to pick up between 2-3kg's
Trying now to stick to a protein only diet- we'll see how that goes

Tunelling- because it feels like I'm tunneling through this maze of weight loss-sometimes good sometimes not so

Slowly going

lost .8 kg- thought it would be more- can be from AF?

Interesting side effect

An interesting side effect from this diet has happened- DH is starting to like me again :))- Hell's Bells- what do you do with a guy that likes you, again?

Easter LongWeekend

Well, I actually had quite a good weekend. No Easter eggs and lots of salad. I also resisted the temptation to weigh myself. Yay!!
Even DH was impressed!

Weigh - In

Went to weigh in lost 1 kg- no centimeters though -woohoo!
Now weigh 93.8 & middle 106cm
I binge far too much after a weigh in- another resolution- limit binging after weigh in

Exercise

Urgghh- I can kick myself- Last night I weighed myself (mistake no1) and discovered that I hadn't lost anything- uurgg So I went on the binge (mistake no 2,3,4 etc)- double urrggh.
So I have resolved NOT to weigh myself during the week, and to start exercise- I think it will help with general "feel-good" hormones.

Cheat

We had a poll on my forum today- how much do you cheat on average during the week on your diet- the average was about twice a week
So I'm posting what Im eating this week
Friday:
BF- 1 Yoghurt, 1 apple
Lunch tuna salad
4 cups of coffee
Have drunk 1 l of water so far going for another 500 ml

Progress

I lost 2.8 kilos last week - Yay now weigh 94.6
This week has been more dificult for me - had lots of cravings, forgot the homeophatic pills & zero crave, also didn't drink all my water. I think that might have been my biggest downfall. Just had to, had to have a chocolate last night. I'm due to go weigh and pee(Argh) today so we'll see if there is any progress

Update- So picked up .2 but still lost centimeters

The diet that everyone talks about

So I joined the diet that everyone talks about yesterday. It's a programme for 10 weeks and involves high protein, LOTS of veg, injections (B12) and homeopathic appetite supressants- I'm hoping to loose 10kg's (holding thumbs thight here) I might still fit into that nr 14 for BIl's wedding!! Week 10 is the 23rd of May. Interesting thing she told me- It's natural by week4/5 to feel despondent and start to lose less weight or to plato- I must remeber this- cause that's usually when I lose momentum.

I deserve to be the best I can be

Been really struggling the last month. I now weigh 92 kg's. Somewhere in my little mind I dont seem to be able to break through 90kg's. But I've resolved to be the best I can be and lose the DARN WEIGHT!!!!
Still sticking to my resolve to wear a no 14 to BIL's wedding in August.
Wanting to lose 4 kg's before we leave on 20 December for the sea.
I got really despondent last week- and took my cm loss- 7cm's from 120 around my middle to 114cm's. I was absolutely amazed!!!

Up and down..

Well I picked u'p 2 kilos struggling with hormones and lost it again last week. This week both kids have been sick and I was bored out of my skull looking after them. Weight 91 kg's.
Dont get me wrong - I love my kids, but a 3 year old and one year old shew.. they take it out of you. So overate and stayed the same!!91kg's

Sjoe!! Struggling

Feeling very tired & bored. Dont even want to exercise. So struggling but trying hard. Was very anxious the past 2 days - dont know for what reason and used food to anethize a bit- had muffin,wimpey burger and sweets. Boss also seems to be looking over my shoulder a bit- pissing me off!!
