I had a good day yesterday, my husband went away for two weeks but I am fine on my own. I cooked a nice diet friendly meal for myself. There was a small amount of wine in an open bottle so I had a glass, then decided to finish the wine another glass and a half. But then I just wanted to eat icecream, which I did with melted chocolate and cream. It was delicious. Oh, and some caramelised nuts on top. I don’t even have a sweet tooth. And then I had some plum gin, which I had to fetch from our basement. I feel ashamed, I really wanted to give myself two weeks of being supergood, low carb and no alcohol to kickstart my weightloss. Now I’m worried I can’t even do one day and I seem to waiver between determination and thinking ’what the hell, I’m not that fat’ lifes too short and all that. I’d like to lose about a stone, but I lose a couple of pounds and then put it back o. I walk everyday ( dog owner) I like gym type exercise but even that’s a struggle at the moment though I am doing it.Sorry to go on - once I started writing I couldn’t stop. I know its down to me and I know what I have to do - just feel a bit useless about it today.

That's the trouble .......... when it's in the house I'm the same, I eat it! I can avoid the alcohol as I don't really have the taste for it. But ice cream, chocolate and cheese. And if OH isn't in - well!!! And if someone asked me to bin it I couldn't. So what to do in your case? Well don't feel useless for a start, you're not. But remember how bad you are feeling right now, if you're tempted to tuck in again. My go to method on a Tuesday eve when OH goes to club is that I go to bed! With a big cuppa and my book! That way I am removed from being near the kitchen, not that there's anything remotely naughty lurking - 😭 hahaha. Fingers crossed you can get this under control, good luck.
Thank you for making me laugh. I don't do alcohol. Sadly it doesn't like me. But I understand how one naughty treat leads to the next. Today I've been mindful eating. Until I didn't mind the wispa with my options hot chocolate which lead to a creme egg. Neither I enjoyed as much as I thought. I'm drawing the line. Again. Moving on. My only advice is not to start.. I managed no chocolate last week until the weekend. Start again tomorrow and don't beat yourself up 😄
Thanks both of you. A better evening tonight -I locked the door to the alcohol and icecream zone, physically and metaphorically, and cooked a meal I haven’t had in ages and a big glass of fizzy water Dinner was a kind of fish medley thing with quinoa and lentils. I even took a photo, it looked so pretty.
Well done Frenchfields!
You do sound just like me, in your first post. Once you start it’s difficult to stop but you have been really good on your second day, so well done.
Enjoy the rest of your two weeks. 👍
Two full days without self-sabotaging, but mustn’t get complacent, I know. Made what should have been a delicious omelet last night with onion peppers mushrooms, a bit of chopped bacon and some cheese. I love an omelet (sounding like Ruth Jones in Gavin and Stacy😀-I even bought a new omelet pan last week. Anyway it was absolutely horrible which was so weird -mind you dog seemed to enjoy the leftovers. Anyway, investigating the fridge this morning to find out why, found a packet of ’vegan grated cheese’ which I had used by accident -husband must have picked it up by mistake. It says milk free and soya free so goodness knows what its made of. Its going in the bin🤣.
Oh dear 🤣
