Blinking 'eck!

by Karenm on 04 Jul 2014, 19:22

I have done 3 fasts this week and have lost absolutely no weight! Gutted!
I have lost 3" off my waist in last couple of weeks, but really thought the 4:3 would get me down to 12 stone. This is only my second week and I expected a good loss, but no :frown: I'm still 12st2lb

I had a stressful day yesterday and was incredibly close to giving up my fast day.
Electrician turned up at 8am and told me he needed to go into my bedroom. I pleaded with him no. ended up crying and shouting at him that I obviously was allowed nowhere to call my own. My husband came up with the solution of him taking a ladder upstairs and sending our teenage daughter into the loft!
The hoist installers turned up at 11ish and 2 hours later informed me what they'd brought with them wasn't compatible and couldn't be fitted upstairs. Lots of phone calls and 4.5 hours later and the decision has been made that a new system...

Oh dear

OH has decided he's not enjoying fasting this time around, so doesn't want to continue with me. I have told him I want to lose another stone so I'll be carrying on with it. After reading that article I posted on cereal killers earlier, we are going to cut down processed food and see how that goes. I reckon he's hoping his weight will fall off without the effort of dieting. He wants to exercise more, but I really don't enjoy exercise, he likes long walks and I just don't!
Perhaps he doesn't care if he's obese, but I'm not going back down that road. I will carry on and get to a better weight x :heart: x :clover: x :heart:

It's been a while since I've done this......

I am on my 5th fast this time around. I've snuck in an extra one today to atone for all of the cr@p I scoffed yesterday. I am planning on fasting Mondays and Thursdays. My weight on 20/6/14 was 12st5lb, I lost 3lb this week taking me down to 12st2lb. I desperately want to get to below 12st next week, but another 3lb loss on the trot is perhaps a tad optimistic and unrealistic :razz: however I now weigh 170lb so even a 1lb loss takes me into the 160s so that's my intention - to leave the 170s for the last time in my life!
I think I maybe taking control of my diet as I have little control over much else right now.
My youngest is having major surgery 31 July. I agreed to this and knew what was involved, but had convinced myself it wasn't particularly big, no bigger than when she's had Botox in her legs. But she's having bilateral extension osteotomies of both knees, hamstring release and having psoas...

Stop the world I want to get off!

I've had a tough week. I ate stupid amounts of biscuits and chocolate and crisps sat, sun, mon. Haven't fasted properly at all this week. Am going to struggle to get to boots for weigh in today as daughter doesn't like going out very much and often screams.
Tuesday - 18 yr old went away for a few days
Thursday - youngest home due to teacher strikes. Very difficult day as her routine was upset. The cavalier King Charles who had stayed with me had blood in her urine. Took her to the vets, along with youngest. Putting them back in the van I managed to drop youngest, along with her wheelchair, on the floor! She was fine, I nearly broke!
Friday - poppy dog was put to sleep!
I am struggling! Diet is out of the window! Life sucks!
