Day 184
Well it seems that no matter how much I want too these days.. SS is just blo*dy impossible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I've just come in from a hectic afternoon trying to sort out my finances (which are stressing the hell out of me!!!) and been unable to resist half a chicken breast I cooked for B/F's supper!!!!!!!!!!!!! sometimes I just despair of myself[]Maybe 2 days before TOTM and hormones raging wasn't a good time to go 100% SS, but I'm wondering if there is ever a good time for me!! I consistantly sabotage my own attempts to speed up my weight loss and reach my goal sooner rather than later...
Sorry to rant, just had to get that off my chest....
Think I'll go to the gym and try to de-stress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Got work later!!!!!!!!!!!![:0]

Darlin - you only had a bit of chicken - that won't do any damage!!

You've come so far and done so well - don't beat yourself up about a bit of protein! Think about how much worse it COULD have been!!! lol

You're doing great - stick at it, honey!!!

Love Isobel xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Hun!

I echo Isobels wise words - you have done and will continue to do so well and you bluddy well will get to your target and I'll be like a little Jack Russell nipping at your heels a few pounds behind you[:I][] cos I too struggle on a daily basis to stay SS - but I am determined to do it this time - this is the last time I will have to do a 'diet'! Go to the gym and thrash it out on the stepper etc and you'll have a huge burst of 'happy thingys' - I know they've a technical name but I can't remember what they are [:I]

Thanks for your kind words about missing me on Saturday - I really do wish I'd come along now. I am definately up for a VF at Xmas - just found out that my girls weekend away is w/e 8/9/10 Dec - so Isobel - any other weekend is good with me girl[]

Mandy I too would love to meet up with you before Xmas too - I feel we have come so far on this journey and you have given me so much support (and others too) - in fact you have given me more support and encouragement than my 'so-called' best mate[] We have just had a big 'chat' and hopefully have cleared the air because for weeks and weeks now things have been not good - think I've been a bit oversensitive about things said/not said and vice versa! I'm not very confrontational but just had to get things off my (not so ample) chest...LOL[:I]

Anyway, won't ramble on with my worries - you stick at it - you are NOT A FAILURE for goodness sake girl you've lost 7 stone how bluddy fantastic is that and you look like a goddess - I will be happy to walk in your shadow when we meet!! Guess I'll have to have 'sloppy seconds' on all the men that throw themselves at your feet....LOL!!

Chat soon
Lots of Love & hugs
Mich [:X][:X][:X]

PS - at least when you go off track it's a bit of chicken mine has been chocolate, always chocolate and lots of it[:I][:0] (though not for a while - honest!)

Now I bet you know what I'm about to say, don't you? But just in case you're not sure, all I'm going to say is ..... so bleedin' what?? [:0] OK, so you had a piece of chicken because you were stressed .. that's understandable but is definitely not a hanging offence.

OK, flippancy aside - you know Isobel's right. It really won't do any damage. SS is hard - and I bet it's a damn sight harder the closer to target you get - but you WILL get to your target - and we'll all be even greener with envy at how gorgeous you are [].

Tomorrow, my dear Scarlett, is another day []

With lots of love and minxy positive vibes, darlin'

Mandy hun,

Me and you have been here before haven't we? Remember? my wafer thin ham attack and your chicken drumstick attack a while ago?

You know it's not the end of the world if you ate a chicken breast.

7 stone lost or ate a chicken breast? I bl#oody well know which one I'd rather be darlin!!! Look at your glass...it's half full, not half empty. It's just your perception cos you're stressed about finances. The food demons are trying to get hold so tell them to feck off!!!!!!

Don't be upset. All you've had is the chicken. Nothing to worry about. Today is another day and today will be perfect.

Love Irene

Hi Hun!

How's it going today? Good I hope[]

I've got the girls I used to work with coming round tonight - chicken fajitas all round except for lil ole me I'll be having a nice CD soup and a mousse to follow!

Feeling focused and positive today and whilst out shopping caught sight of my reflection and actually liked what was looking back[]

Catch up with you over the weekend.

Take care
Lots of Love
Mich [:X][:X]

PS - please change your thread title because you ARE NOT A FAILURE - OK[]

Mandy hunny, don't fret! A bit of chicken ain't the end of the world! You are bluddy fantastic - a real inspiration to me! I was pleased to meet you at the weekend - sassy and sexy all rolled into one! Look at the bigger picture hun - see how far you've come. I know that it's a personal thing but you really don't look like you need to lose anymore - you've gotta feel comfortable with yourself.

Roll on August!!

Hope you are having a good day today! []

PS I agree with Mich - change the name of your thread - YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE!!!!

You are so beautiful and don't look as though you've got much if any to lose. I agree think about what you've achieved so far. You are a winner.

Day 188..
Well weighed this morning and the scales haven't budged since last Monday, I'm still 13 stone!!.... feel a bit down about it but must get on with it. I've not had a great week last week food wise and it's been an awful TOTM so hopefully I will be back to speed this week. Managed a full day SS yesterday[] but is Sons 24th birthday today and we're all going out later for a Chineese[:0]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woke up this morning with a rotten headache and a a sore throat.. just not what I want at the moment but hey ho!! that's life I suppose.
Love to you all[:X]
Mandy xx

Hi Mandy,

Sorry to hear you're feeling a bit ropey this morning[]. I think you've done great this last week what with TOTM. It really is a curse for some of us, isn't it? my turnn again next week!!

I have absolutely no doubt that you will keep your nose to the grindstone again this week hun as you're nearly there, you really are. Remember I've seen you in the flesh and would die for the figure you have right now[]

I was looking at your pictures last night for inspiration and they certainly gave me that girl....what a bleeding difference[8D]

Have a fab day and enjoy the Chinese,

Lace...x
