13st 9.25 and had a bad week otherwise, ending up in the physio dept at work with tendonitis in my r.arm . I then burst into tears when the physio said what activities did I outside of work. I told her the truth I go to work and I get home and once I close the door I literally don't step foot outside(*) until the next week because I'm ashamed at being fair, fat and forty-one. Next weekend I'm going away with my immediate family and it might seem like a contradication to what I've just mentioned(*), but you'd have to be in my head and my shoes to understand how it is. I avoid answering the door unless Mr.Tesco calls (then I shut it again very quickly), leave the window cleaners money on the ledge, beg my son to bring the refuse bin in from the road (even though it's only about ten paces), and basically hide myself from one week to the next. Explain then why it is I can go to work and be lively and cheerful 99% of the time and support people with miscarriages and cancer, then come home and go to pieces. If I had the answer then I wouldn't be in this lost valley.
ok on this eat every two and a half hours thing and still weigh 13 st 9.25. I recommend it if only to stamp out sugar highs and lows and the craving caused by the highs and lows. If I get through the next time of the month without faltering I will definately be convinced it works.
hours seems to working - very very slowly. I now weigh 13st 9 & 3/4. And I actually feela lot better than I have in ages , ? it has something to do with keeping blood sugar levels on a constant. If I fail I fail but whilst I feel positive I'll maintain the momentum and by the time I return to the hotel in October, that I went to in May, I won't be self consciouly waddling in, in size 18-20 - it will hopefully be me gracefully gliding in in size 12-14 and enjoying every minute of it.
on tv said a golden rule to dieting was to eat every, either 2 to 2.5hrs (can't remember which). So I've done this for two days and now weigh 13st 10.5. It seems to keep you on an even keel and regulates blood sugar levels, so stops highs and lows of cravings. We'll see....
