Well that worked. I can now see previous posts.

I have just watched this on catch-up and I promise this is a program that you NEED to watch!

Hi Lucy,

How are things? I know the run up to Christmas can be particularly difficult! I finally dropped off my plateau….with a 1lb loss. 😀My Christmas just became more difficult…in that I am not going to be in control of the food/cooking/kitchen. Long story, but I now have to go to my S-I-L who is on her own…the first Christmas I have not been at home and in charge of cooking for over 25 years!!! It would be this year, when I was planning a ‘different’, low carb celebration! BUT onwards and upwards…She has asked what I eat…when I said butternut squash instead of potato, swede instead of parsnip etc, she said she didn’t think she would be able to get those!!! So I am taking with me….just hope she lets me into the kitchen to cook them!

Keeping on!

Pootle … it’s one day! Just eat what you’re happy with! How about some green vegetables … dare I say sprouts!

Unfortunately Verano, I have to be there for 2 weeks!
And yes, I love sprouts and nearly all vegetables. I just know that I will feel hungry without extras and 🤞 after all I have achieved since June.
Going to take lots of large bottles of sparkling water with me.

WOW! Two weeks isn’t just ‘one meal’!

Good luck!

I think you might need it!

Don’t worry about ‘hunger’, eat as well as you can but don’t fret because you cant be ‘perfect’ with your BSD diet. Just don’t go over the top. Ok one or two ‘violations’ aren’t the end of the world. It’s only when you say “s.d” it I’ve given in to one thing so I might as well crash the car and go the whole way’!

You will be fine just don’t stress about the odd ‘digression’ just don’t go into full overdrive!

I think that I am most worried about the “s*d it, I have eaten that, so I might as well eat this” attitude. I have done that before… in 2020… and it eventually lead to 5 stone increase in weight and diabetes!!
But that time I wasn’t using the BSD didn’t have the support of these forums! So I think I will get through!
I have to get through!
Thanks

YOU WILL!

Hi Pootle hi everyone.
I was once again member of the 1lb club. It’s slow going but I’m happy.
I really wouldn’t worry about xmas Pootle . I went on holiday and apart from that stubborn 1lb it came off soon enough.
I fully intend to enjoy the Xmas week. It’s my husband bd on 22nd too so I will be having a good time. Enjoy the week. Don’t go over the top but enjoy some nice food. We diet or cha nge our eating ways all the time. We have to. A week won’t hurt you. Imagine you used to be like that all the time. Now uts just one week. Enjoy, have fun. Then back to it. Don’t stress. Imagine how much further forward we are from a year ago xx
