Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Dr Dragon did remove the spider yes (even he said something along the lines of " my, that is rather large isn't it " *grin*) I'm not sure what the dietician will make of my food diary - a day of eating half the recommended kcals, followed by a day of overeating then a day of getting less than 10% of the days kcals down me - ah well! Good luck with your healthy eating plan as well - writing it down does tend to concetrate the mind somewhat!

With the help of a dietitian you will have a flying start. Let's do this thing together!! I am also launching an attack on the 'more than a few' extra kilos. At this stage I am working purely on being aware of what I eat by writing it down. No quantities, no calories, just what I eat and when. I'm not even weighing myself. The scales can be rather demotivating if they don't show a loss even if I know I have been eating sensibly. I don't want to make things too complicated or restrictive at the beginning as that way there are more opportunities to slip up. I tend to be a perfectionist and I see even the smallest deviation from the rules I set myself as 'failure'. The more complicated things are the more opportunities I have to 'fail' which I know will lead to me not being motivated to continue. I am trying keep food choices and portion sizes sensible but I am not going to let the probably inevitable slip ups deter me from my ultimate goal. Luckily I tend to prefer things like salads and raw veggies anyway so I have a big advantage there. When I feel confident that I am no longer eating mindlessly and out of habit/boredom then I will start being stricter about noting calories and food groups. For me this is more about health than weight so I doubt I'll get too involved with scale hopping. I know that if I eat sensibly the weight side of things will take care of itself. All the best for your appointment on Tuesday. Did Dr D finally remove the spider?

I managed to eat 1,380 kcals which for me is quite good (be interesting to see what the dietician says on Tuesday as most of my day's intake seems to be mugs of tea!), it is now 13.47 and I am about to double my day's kcals by having another mug of tea taking me to a grand total of 30 kcals consumed so far - ah well see what happens eh!

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Dear Marie Can I suggest you break this task down into easier stages by aiming to lose 1lb in 2 weeks and call it a lifestyle change? It's ok to fail. We are only human. I put on a few pounds over Christmas, but hey, doesn't everyone? My best action to help is getting a wii . There are exercises u can do sitting down Mrs Dragon, such as cycling with your arms. Where there is a will, there is a way. And another point, a cube of cheese is not good to be seen as a reward or treat, but an apple is !! Good luck girls.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Sorry Marie. I just noted you dont want to weigh yourself. I think a key to this for me is to try to be happier and then i won't binge. I also think exercise can play an important role for weight loss. It's not easy but not impossible!!!
