Petals diary

We do have a lovely supportive group. Well done on not turning to food with your stress & sadness. You are letting your emotions run their course. It's OK to feel sad. You have a good reason to :grouphug:
 
Good morning all . Will write later
 
I'm glad September is coming to a close . Looking back at my activity I did pretty well a lot of the time but some days were disasters. It was a funny month . I have achieved nothing with my weight loss really . I think now I will try put it all behind me and tackle it all with renewed vigour for October .
 
It´s hard to be on fire all of the time. But you found some healthier routines that have helped you keep your lower weight even though you weren´t being fanatic, didn´t you?
 
I wholeheartedly agree with LaMa and Cate! What you achieved is probably heavier muscles from getting in shape, a lot of good habit forming, and a healthier you from even just that one thing of being more aware of what you are eating and why. You had a very very hard month psychologically, and I think you did amazingly. Please give yourself some credit for all your accomplishments even though there were days you would rather have done over. I just had a day like that yesterday. We all have them!
 
Good morning . Yes I think I have done well considering. Had a good day yesterday. Did cleaning , made soup , grocery shopped , did a workout , relaxed a bit . I was in bed by 9 pm I was so tired . Here's to a repeat of that day .
 
Hi Petal! I just read my last post here, and rereading it, it could sound a little scolding or preachy! Oops, didn't mean it that way at all!!! What I should have said is that I think you are doing the part that was very hardest for me, which is getting mostly off of sugar and refined carbs. And you are doing it while doing so well with exercise and while having a major life stressor. So I hope you appreciate yourself and all your hard work a lot!!! Part of this process for me is learning to be my own good friend, and that comes with a lot of hard work on myself because my self esteem was rather low starting out. I finally realized I am the same as everyone else and we all struggle at times, so I can just be good to myself and treat myself well. It doesn't sound like you are as hard on yourself as I was, but I wanted to share what I learned in case it is helpful.

I really, really need to go through clothes and organize them, too. Nice we are all inspiring each other to clean! My day of cleaning made me feel really happy about the house and want to do more big projects on it!

Glad you had such a good day yesterday. I love days where everything comes together and I accomplish a lot! And yay for soup!

Marsia I never thought that at all . Thank you for all your support so far . This whole journey has been a huge process for me . I have been extremely hard on myself at times but I think after 30 years of yo yo dieting and agonising I'm just more content in myself .

October today for me it's a new start , fresh slate . Unfortunately woke with stomach pains . Seems to be skipping around the world , lol . Not pleasant though . I so seldom do it but had Thai chicken noodles last night . I didn't particularly enjoy them and won't be having again .
 
:blush5:
Sorry I sent my stomach pains your way! I'm sure mine are food intolerances, specifically wheat and/or gluten. Hope you feel better soon, Petal. Flush your system out with water. It's wonderful stuff! xoxo
 
Wow, sorry everyone is battling the stomach pains. My daughter gets them from gluten sensitivity and we have her eat easily digestible things like eggs, ripe bananas, fish, applesauce, tofu, gluten-free bread... and like Cate said, water and non-caffeinated tea. And we put a heating pad on her stomach so she can sleep. Sending everyone nice warm heating pad vibes. Hope you all feel better!
 
Thanks Jennie I feel fine again .

Finding it hard to find time to post here at the moment . Since. School started back it’s been a bit hectic
