Days 127 - 135 (2012) - ups & downs

Hi all

It's been 9 days since my last confession.......
Well that's how it feels anyway :0)

In the last 9 days I've been a SW model member and absolutely appalling - thankfully I've been both in roughly equal number so the nett result over two weeks is a 1lb gain but oh dear me I am frustrated with myself.

I read back this morning over some entries where I've had good consistent periods of weight loss & I know it's because I've planned what I'm eating, shopped accordingly and stuck to my plans.
In fact some of my best weeks have been my busiest so I can't even blame my social life!!!

I am really struggling mid-week Tues-Thurs particularly. These are my working days and I really need to get back to a slightly earlier getting up time, making my lunch in advance and having a good breakfast.
Also I must by petrol from stations with the 'Pay At the Pump' facility to avoid the talking chocolate bars!!!

On Sunday I'm doing my charity walk with Toby and will be walking more this week in preparation so I'm hopeful that the weather will stabilise and I'll get more exercise.

Hope you are all well
Love & best wishes

Days 122 - 126 (2012) - disaster strikes

I think that says it all!!!
Thankfully no-one died, the kids & Andrew are fine & the house is all in one piece but the demon in my head that fills any upset took hold on Wednesday & in truth is still lurking about :0(
I had a good start to the week plenty of exercise & following the plan but after a very stressful meeting on Wednesday afternoon it has all gone to pot.

For two days I ate whatever came to hand & lurched from salad to chocolate, crisp-bread to cake etc. Truly ridiculous but I just couldn't stop - just felt continuously hungry and fed that hunger with all the wrong things.

I know that this is why I'm overweight - because I use food to fill the holes I feel when I'm upset/angry/frustrated - but that doesn't stop me being upset with myself when it happens.

Yesterday & today I've been better but absolutely starving all the time - I've eaten the right things but it always happens after a 'blow out'.
Luckily I have plenty of 'right food' in the house and tonight we are going to the theatre so the opportunity to give in to the cravings is reduced.

I realise this is a gloomy post & I know that I'll come out of it eventually but I am in a cycle of a few good days & a few bad days just now which is resulting in losing, gaining & losing again the same few pounds which is fairly demotivating :(

If you read my blog to help your own battle with your weight in my head I'm trying to do better and hopefully you can learn by my mistakes as I'm trying to :0)
But I really hope that you are doing better than me so far!!?

Love to all
