Needed time out

Thank you to everyone who has messaged me this week... I just needed some time out - life has been very stressful and I found the only stress I could remove for a while was the pressure I put on myself to eat right... so I have had a week of eating anything and everything that I have wanted... it has felt good mentally... but physically I know I have pulled on a few pounds and I feel sluggish and I have had 4 bad IBS attacks......

BUT I needed the space to breathe again and to enjoy things like chocolate brownie sundaes -  750 calories for one.... Am I advocating taking a break ?? NO but I am saying a break does not have to be the end of the road -  a break can be jsut that a few days of respite ftom the pressure we put on ourselves...

So Sunday I will do the dreaded weigh in.... between now and then I will finish all the naughty goodies I have around.... and Sunday I am back on the right road.. back in control and back on the weight loss journey.

Thanks again to those who have left emails and notes :)

Hiya love, it's good to see you back again.  You did really exceptionally well to just gain 2lbs.  You must be well pleased with that.  Hope you're feeling brighter and hope your son is now feeling better.  Love and hugs x

What an incredible, wise and inspiring woman you are.  The lesson of learning to not beat ourselves up or give up ... and get back on our plan ... is a testament to your strength, determination and fortitude you have to realize your dream.  You know how to be kind to yourself and you are teaching others by your example.  Thank you for sharing and so glad to hear you've taken the time to recoup ... you've been under an incredible amount of stress.  I truly admire your dedication as a mother and your friendship.  Very best wishes ...
