Oops....

I did a silly thug yesterday . Id been brilliant on my 80s plan right up till teatime, and then my daughter turned up with a bottle of wine. She's a head chef at a care home, and the kitchen has been short staffed for a good time, meaning shes had to work extra hours. She was celebrating the fact shed interviewed and taken on a new kitchen assistant yesterday....i know, ANY excuse ....thing was, I didn't really break my diet. What I did, very stupidly, was help her with the wine, and " to make up for it" didn't have any more to eat, meaning Id only had 2 crisp breads, 2 oz cottage cheese and some salad all day...

This morning....did I feel ILL !! woke up shakey, nauseous, and shivery. A very silly thing to do. Substituting wine for food MAY work calorie wise, but it don't half make you feel rotten

The GOOD news is, I am totally back to my plan today. Today is Back to the Future Day by the way, its the 21st October 2015, the date they went forward in time to in the film - so, Im taking it as an omen. Its back to MY future - and no more drinking on a VERY empty stomach !

Good luck everybody today !!!!

I did mean "thing" not thug

Ha ha - this proves the theory that all calories are not equal (see earlier post)!

[libbydaniels88 in reply to useitorloseit]

Haha yeah - its definately taught me a lesson. Im only now feeling better. Self inflicted illness ! My dad said if I was in the Army, id be up on a charge for that

Hi Libbydaniels88,

Glad you're feeling better now, and enjoy 'back to the future day' - hopefully a very good omen for the future.

Wine has a completely different effect when you're counting calories! Is this the same daughter who's doing slimming world? Hopefully she doesn't have anything else to 'celebrate' in the near future

[libbydaniels88]

Haha no, this was number 1 daughter, my eldest (40 years) that she doesn't need it, shes as big as me, but she has never been interested in dieting, although ive tried to get her interested. My younger daughter (38 years) was the SW fan, but sadly the wagon went off with her fallen off the back some time ago. It seems its only the " oldie but goodie" whose still trying I.e. Me...

Love the back to the future line of your plan! Wine perhaps should have been hirrondel or blue nun....black tower...effects would have been just as grim though...good luck this week!

hi libby,

don't know exactly what the 80s plan is but salad, 2 crispbread and 2oz cottage cheese all day doesn't sound too safe or healthy~ hence the 'alcohol poisoning' you suffered the morning after. could have been a lot worse. hopefully you also took in a lot of fluids during the day.

staying with the film analogy, make sure you're not 'the last of the mohicans!!

[libbydaniels88]

Oh sandy - its meant to be a LOT more than that, I was just being stupid. AND ive learnt my lesson !
