Week six weigh in

[wombat3838]

No gain or loss this week. But that is good considering my battle with emotional eating this week. Any tips on dealing with this as I go into week 7?

Hope everyone has an amazing week xxx

Thank you Follie girl, it is an achievement and something I am grateful for. Hope you had a positive week x

[Folliegirl in reply to wombat3838]

Hormones are playing havoc this week, wouldn't be surprised with a gain tomorrow, but that's hormones for you!!! Starting week 5 tomorrow ... Amazed that I'm sticking to it ... Hoping not to be thrown off course if I do gain tomorrow!!! We'll see 😉

[wombat3838 in reply to Folliegirl]

I know what you mean. I'm surprised I'm sticking to it too. Support from the forum is priceless though. Would be lost without it. X

[wombat3838]

That is a very good suggestion thank you. I am always telling others to remain positive I guess I should practice what I preach 😃

Hi Wombat stress and emotional eating is a nightmare. I've had few days where I've gone over as had a glass or two of wine, but keep it up. You haven't put on so that's good. I try and stay within 1400 - 1500 cals a day if I can. I've got the myfitnesspal app on my phone so I can keep a track of what I'm eating in a day. If I go over I don't beat myself up about it and try and do better next day.

Good luck with week 7 x

Thanks Julia, it is difficult. I'm still trying though. Refuse to give in. Hope you have great week 6 hun x

[JuliaM72]

I know it is, my thing is cakes and biscuits. I have to really try and stay away from them or I have smaller meals so I can have my treat. I hope you have a better week. I'm away next weekend so not counting on losing any weight then. If you need encouragement during the week just post. Keep it up you can do this x

[wombat3838 in reply to JuliaM72]

We can both do this Julia, I reckon you will be ok next weekend. You have your thoughts in the right place x

[JuliaM72 in reply to wombat3838]

I'm certainly trying but I'm easily swayed and I know it's all eating out as staying in a hotel. We can but try. You have a good week and think positive. It's start of a new week and we can do this!

[wombat3838 in reply to JuliaM72]

You too sweetie x

Remember you are not alone, everyone has weeks where they don't loose any. If you are feeling like you are eating when maybe you shouldn't then, pick up a magazine or book or better still go for a walk. Good Luck

[wombat3838 in reply to shirley5]

Thanks Shirley, funnily enough I was just thinking about picking up my art again. Maybe distract myself that way. X

[shirley5 in reply to wombat3838]

Yes art would be a great way.

[wombat3838 in reply to shirley5]

I hope so x

It's great that you kept on track and focused this week, even greater if you had a bad week. In my case I tend to eat carbs-based dishes: rice, pasta, toast,... that are not great for weight loss but satisfy my need of "comfort eating". I completely avoid sweets, chocolate and cakes, as I am a compulsive eater when dealing with these foods. Good luck!!

[wombat3838 in reply to HRHGaby]

Thanks Gaby I am a bit like that myself to be honest. Hope you had a good weigh in xx

[HRHGaby in reply to wombat3838]

Not bad thanks! Lost 800g/1.1 lbs.

[wombat3838 in reply to HRHGaby]

that's great news. you definitely had a more positive week. well done you. hope it continues x
