Hi sweetie, its true If i can do it so can you! glad you are able to breath in your jeans! oxygen to the brain is always a plus.

Jude · #62 03-08-2009, 20:18

Hi sweetie, you seem too be a very busy lady, i often wonder how we manage too fit everything into 1 small day lol....... and then get up and do it all again and again

Awesome that your back into the size 18 jeans, in no time you will be complaining that they are to baggy lol, gotta love that feeling!
I hope you have a great week and keep up the great work !!!
Jude xx

Well Done sweetie...fabulous feeling being able to close the jeans with ease, and not have to lie on your bed, quickly take a really deep breath, suck everything in, and pull the zip up as fast as you can...and then lie there hyperventilating for a few minutes before you get up and then repeat the sucking in so you can close the button.

Or was that just me?

Well done, and keep at it!

Nig hugs,

Nam

Or...if you'd prefer Big hugs, you can have those too - stupid typo.

Hi Carieanne, Jude and Nam.
Thanks for stopping by.
All of you you are HUGE inspirations. Look at those tickers.
3 weeks for me today, and still going strong.
I always say, as long as there is no news, it is good news as well.
Cohens is so easy but........
I had a massive fight with my best friend. I was soo upset that I went to the kitchen, and on the counter I saw a packet of biscuits. It is the cheaper type. (Biscuits with some icing in between) We buy it for the kids (and hubby) as a treat.
I was so upset, I opened the packet, and ate every single last one of them.
I felts so bad afterwards, so guilty, that I wondered how I would ever be able to face myself again.
When I woke up this morning, I still felt crap. How could I be so stupid?
It took me about 5 minutes to realise that it was, in actual fact, a dream!!!
Oh the relief!!
The same happened to me when I stopped smoking. I also dreamt that I would go and have a skelm (sneaky) smoke behind the tree!!
The subconcious is a strange thing. I see this as positive though. At least I know I won't sleep eat (LOL)
Today was almost a non-event.
Woke up, went to work (yes, at least got dressed), read e-mails, went home, did Gr2 Homework, had supper, reading forum.
We'll see how it goes tomorrow.
Sleep tight, and Nig Hugs to you too Nam

sweetie · #66 04-08-2009, 06:15

Oh, Oh just remembered!!
I actually baked hubby and kids some banana & Carrot muffins last night.
It smelled so yummy, but I resisted!!!
Maybe that is why I had the dream

julie · #67 04-08-2009, 09:26

Hi Sweetie, sounds nice muffins they smell so nice I love to bake cakes not so much eat them but the smell is so yummy. Wow you have some interesting dreams I bet your glade that they arent true, its funny how we seem to dream of food on the diet some stage or another. Keep shreding those kilos lovely lady and I hope the scales are kind to you

Roxy · #68 04-08-2009, 20:12

Hi Sweetie

I have also had such dreams. I once had a dream that I ate a whole chocolate cake and woke up sweating and feeling really guilty...it is such a relief when you realise it was just a dream. Also after the party I dreamnt I ate a whole plate of curry and rice and kept telling myself that I should not be doing this and that I would be sorry....also glad when I woke up and it was only a dream....must admit, you had me there for a moment

.....and thought ag no sweetie, why, why, why!!!!

Stay strong and keep up the good work!! You are doing so great!!

sweetie · #69 05-08-2009, 04:28

Day 23 ( I think)
Well got past 3 weeks, 1 to go to weigh in!!!!
I cannot believe how really concerned I was before I started. I had wondered why people are having a battle. But you know what, I realised that the battle is not about the food. That is the easy part. It is really on how to deal with the demons.
The demosn that got us to where we are.
This forum is like holy water. it helps to chase all the baddies away. They most probably still lurk in the shadows, but at least I know where I must turn for help.
This great place. (Only problem is that it steals my hours. I think that I'll go on for a quick update, and then OMG 3 hours later I am still clicking away!!)
Today was a breeze again. Got extremely annoyed this afternoon though. I had to go and attend to a conenctivity issue at our branch in PE. Problem with the DSL and alarm and POTS fillter. Well in any case, go to the Telkom shop (Our one and only telephone operator in SA) to buy POTS filter, stand in line for 30 minutes, got to front, oh sorry, we are out of stock. I mean really!!!!!! They are the suppliers!!!!!!! Nobody else normally stocks the stuff unless they have bought if from Telkom.
Lady tells me, oh yes, when we get them in they are sold out within one day. So for goodness sake, get more. (Mumbled this quietly to myself). So I ask her for a telephone directory. They didn't know if they had one. It is Telkom. It is their own directory!!! Finally one of the clerks dug one out from under her desk!!!
I finally found a POTS filter with one of our computer suppliers, but man alive did it irritate me!!!

I find that I am almost becomg indifferent to food. So I eat. Whatever it is, whatever.....
Good thing? I don't know. Will have to see
Gotta go now. Still have to try and sort out a recon, that one of my staff are unable to do!!

sweetie · #70 06-08-2009, 05:15

Day 24 Same old same old. BM is a big problem for me. The lack of it that is. I am starting to feel bloated and blaahhh.
I am drinking all my water. I am eating an apple a day. Nothing!!!!
I added some digestive bran to both breakfast and Lunch. Will see if there is any improvement.
I have to go to a business breakfast tomorrow. Bit of a quandry for me. Do I eat before hand, and then just have a cup of coffee while everybody else eats, or do I go in, see what there is, and if it is not Cohens enough, eat later....Oh decisions decisions. Maybe I'll take my food with, and if I see that they do not ahve Cohen's, will pop out, pretend I forgot something in the car, and quickly munch there.

I am going to be an Aunt tomorrow!!!! My SIL & BIL are having their first one tomorrow!!. After trying for 13 years!!!
I am so excited to see little Ryan for the first time. My kids can't wait to meet their cousin!!!

Have to dash. Still need to finish the damn recon, and kids are messing about instead of sleeping.
Hubby has been asleep for 2 hours already. He has a cold.

Chat soon all you lovely people

julie · #71 06-08-2009, 09:43

Hi Sweetie, Well I bet you cant wait to meet little Ryan, babies are so cute I bet your kids will fight you for the first hold of their cousin. Congrats to them thats so special especially after 13 years of trying. I hope your hubby gets better soon and you dont catch his cold. Rub vicks on the bottom of his feet it will help get rid of it. I hope you BM starts to happen soon I'm lucky havent had realy much trouble in that department. Keep loosing your weight you will be at your goal before you know it. You go girl and I hope the scales are very kind to you

Take2 · #72 06-08-2009, 15:59

Hi Sweetie

Just popping in to say and thank you for visiting my diary.

Wow 3 weeks and look how well your doing.
This is what I needed to see...to get the ball rolling with me again.

All the best now - Take2

Shellbelle · #73 06-08-2009, 16:44

Hi Sweetie,

Thanks so much for stopping by my diary and supporting me during my difficult time! It has been much appreciated.

You seem to be cruising through the program and your results are amazing. A big well done to you!

I too (until the past couple of weeks) have found the program really easy and have eaten things that I probably would not have even considered eating prior to going on the program. I know that I want to eat these foods forever as I still enjoy them. I just wish I could have a bit extra at the moment.

Newloser · #74 06-08-2009, 20:30

Hi Sweetie, thanks for dropping into my diary!! Your support is very much appreciated.
Eat before you go for breakfast... then just have coffee while you are there... I have find that if I am full, the temptation is less.
Congrats on being a TANNIE.... so glad for your SIL .... took as a year but it drove me nuts.... can't imagine 13 years!!!

Keep up the losses!!!

Jenna · #75 06-08-2009, 20:37

Hi Sweetie -

Wanted to drop by and thanks for your supportive and kind words during the rough time I have been having as of late...it is much appreciated!!

You're doing well - if you are having issues with the dreaded bm's ( i was only going once a week!) you can take coloxyl with senna (hmmm...just thought they may not have this same brand in South Africa?) or psyllium husk tablets. Both worked well for me, but sometimes PH tabs can slow your weight loss - a lot of people have complained of this.

Congrats on your new nephew, that will be very exciting

Hope your hubby feels better soon.

Namaste · #76 07-08-2009, 04:06

Heya Sweetie,

Congratulations on being an aunt! Awesome news!

Man - I am so excited for your 4 week weigh in! When is your appointment?
Not sure if they still make it, and it's foul stuff - but what about Black Forest Tea?

Just check with the clinic first - I know it's made from Senna leaves, but i am terrified of the stuff, maybe my bowel is just extra sensitive, but I had 1 cup three years ago, and then proceeded to cr*p for around 3 days straight. There was nothing left inside. Lol. Not that I would wish that on my worst enemy...but maybe try a sip or two...and then wait an hour...if the clinic okays it.

Thanks for visiting my diary - I had such a good laugh when i read today's post about the breakfast...

Big Hugs Lovely,

Nam

sweetie · #77 07-08-2009, 10:11

Just a quick one, as I am supposed to be getting my weight loosing sleep, and since it is 2am, I better do this quickly
Day 25
Had to go to a seminar this morning. It included breakfast. I was not too sure what they were serving, so as a precaution, I put a boiled egg, and some asparagus in my handbag. (I felt like somebody sneaking sweets into the movies

Got there, and nope, not the correct food. I saw some paw-paw, and had a little bit, after ascertaining if it is paw-paw, and not papaya (See Namaste's diary for the verification process that I followed)
When nobody was looking, I snuck of to the ladies, and sat on the toilet, eating my boiled egg, and asparagus. I felt like a kid, smoking around the corner.
But at leat I was DF (again).
Hubby is better, and I am an Aunty!!!!!
Just spent 4 hours doing a recon that one of my staff were incapable of doing. I so hate it when people stuff up so royally, and then I am left to sort out the Sh............pooh.
Best I go get into bed.
Have to wake up, just now. (Yes Namaste, there are some of us that actually get up while it is still dark outside)
I've seen black forest tea, but I'll be weighing in next Tuesday, as Monday is a holiday, so I'll ask the clinic what I can do.
Well good night to all,

Roxy · #78 07-08-2009, 16:13

Hi Tannie Sweetie

Congrats on becoming a tannie. How does baby look? Take a photo and post it so we can all ooohhh and aahhhh.

LOL about eating in the toilet. I don't give a damn. I take my food with and sit and eat it at the table. If anyone asks then I just say I am on a medical diet and can only eat certain foods. That usually stops the questions. I also have a breakfast coming up on 31 August but take my food with and will eat with the others. Will just remember to follow Nams rules for the paw paw!!

Can't wait for you to weigh. I am sure you would have lost lots!! Well done and keep up the stunning weight loss. How is the weather down in PE? It is starting to warm up here now and our days are lovely....just hope it keeps getting hotter.

Enjoy womans day on Monday and the long weekend and continue to stay DF!! You go girl!!

fornight · #79 07-08-2009, 21:44

Good job on insisting on DF!!!

Eating the breakfast in the toilet might be "unappetitizing" but it will relieve a lot of stress and frustration if you deviate. just remember what sms always quote "NOTHING TASTE AS GOOD AS BEING THIN".

FlaMie · #80 08-08-2009, 01:10

Good one sweetie. It goes to show that with determination, there's no deviation

Great job in getting your head in place. Onward and downward honey
