[Innocent Forever]

It is hard to limit yourself @Innocent Forever but before making them or buying them, ask yourself... Do I really want to feed my body these cookies, don't the cons outweigh the pros?

@Woowoo well done for having a great day and limiting yourself to just one drink.

The problem is that the pros for just 3 or so outweigh the cons. I've no issue allowing myself to enjoy a little of it. 3 cookies as a treat (they're small) are fair enough. Sometimes it stays at that. Usually not though.....
Unless I just don't eat them at all.... will think about it
Or rather as you say, just don't make them.

I walked around yesterday and today. I am trying to stay hydrated as its humid out.

Today I enjoyed the cookies I ate, ate lots but not TOO many. (well, 6 a meal is normal, right?)
Want to do exercises today but will see.

Hugs I didn’t do to well either too many temptations this week will be better after today that is. lol

I didn't have the best day today, but it wasn't a complete disaster either.

For breakfast I just had green tea, for lunch I had sushi, this afternoon I had an almond milk, spinach and blackberry smoothie as a snack and then for dinner I had a hot pork sandwich. However, I also had some plum crumble that a friend made for me with some cream.

I drank more water than yesterday, but still not enough (I drank about a litre)

Exercise- wise I went out for a 15 minute walk at lunchtime but I didn't quite get up to 8000 steps today.

I had an awful dieting day today, tomorrow is a fresh start, how many fresh starts am i allowed? lol

Seriously though, i need to take my health more seriously, need to start eating better and taking vitamins and doing some light exercise.

Hugs @Petal. You get as many fresh starts as you need! Do the best you can and keep moving forward.
I didn't exercise today. Except for walking through a crowded shopping mall...I exercised my patience, that's what I did.

Having a bad day is OK @Petal Don't beat yourself up over it, just try harder today. I didn't have the best day yesterday either, but today we will both do great

I'm going to try to stop buying naughty treats I think. If they're not in the house I can't eat them. For example, I sometimes buy a 4 pack of chocolate bars to have as an occasional treat but if I have a bad day then I'll have 2 (or even 3 or 4 if it's a really bad day). Or I'll buy a big bag of crisps and eat them in one sitting. I need to learn to view other, healthier snacks as a treat and just buy a single bar of chocolate as a treat maybe once every couple of weeks.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I made a good start to the day by eating a healthy breakfast and doing 30 minutes of exercise

It is exactly 16 weeks to Christmas I want to lose 2lbs a week, that's 32lbs by Christmas? Can I do it? I'm going to give it my all and let it be the best Christmas gift ever. The gift of health.

You absolutely can do this @Petal I have total confidence in you. And what an awesome Christmas present to yourself

My intermittant fasting is currently lying in tatters! Not only did I get up in the night to eat, I got up to eat the things I've given up eating. But it is exceptionally stressful time and so Im not feeling too bad about it. In fact, am proud to still be (I think!) just about sane. Will jog to little Morocan cafe today and get tea to walk back with.

 

[Lightsout]

I start trying to lose weight since 4 months ago, aiming for a kilo a month, so far still on track. It gets harder and harder though

I am now 4 kilos away from my optimum weight. We’ll see

Yes the less you have to lose the harder it is to come off and easier to gain muscle weight and such sometimes I think finding a good weight and maintaining is a good way to go. But then again keeping stricter might help me lose the weight and keep it off. I think for myself this is going to be a life long battle hugs all

 

[Sassy Cat]

I’m 46kgs and would like to be 44kgs

I was just figuring this out in pounds hun you do not need to lose weight maybe just try for healthy eating hugs

 

[Ella]

@sassy123 ah yeah i have anorexia :/ but am not going for full recovery as doesnt work. But am trying to stay physically healthy aswell without getting too underweight

 

[Woowoo]

I've had a good day today.

Here's what I consumed:
* just coffee for breakfast
* a smoothie for lunch
* prawn salad with a sandwich thin for dinner followed by some melon and grapes

I had no alcohol again today, but I still haven't drunk as much water as I should (about a litre again).

I went for a walk this morning and, with all the other walking, I've done more than 16000 steps today

How is everyone else getting on?

 

[bobbob]

Am really worried about health. and have hope that IF could make a big difference. So am going to stick to it even though not best time to do. So will report back in at 10 am tommorow without having eaten in meantime I hope.
