Delia's Journey

Subject: Re: Delia's Journey 24/09/12, 02:08 pm

Today I feel I ate heaps but it kept me from picking at things (and the
mulberries) that I should not.
Early morning B 2 eggs and salmon cup of tea
sm
S Dukan breakfast bar (oatbrand allowance)
S small slice amount of
quiche cup fo tea sm
L chicken with yoghurt yoghurt and lf ricotta cheese
with jelly
2 muffins they did have some spinach in them forgot I was on PP
(dukan muffins)
Chicken soup yoghurt
Iced herb tea instead of water
today.
So I have started. When I write it down and added it up it is not a
lot. I for some reason thougth I had eaten all day. I wrote it down as I ate so
I did not miss anything out.
Will do some water tomorrow instead of all iced
herb tea. I know herb tea is allowed.
I think for a week or so I will write
the menu the night before and see if I can stick to it.

YES it is but I was told the band is a tool only you have to work with it.
With the Dukan I could do that but as soon as you let your guard down the old
habits sneak back in fast. Oh well if I don’t' want more surgery I have to do
the Dukan as it should be and it is the way I was told to eat for the band any
way. Lots of protein first then the vegetable if I could fit it in.

I feel my doctor was fair in what he told me. He said it did not work for
all people and the amount you would lose and also he did not want us not eating.
We were to eat a protein and vegetable meal not all soups (slider foods), bread
fruit and most other things but smaller amounts. He does not believe if we go
out that we cannot eat and slim ect. He wants us to eat a normal entrée size
meal. Of course I thought I knew better and had the band tight and was getting
food stuck and using slider soft foods. I know better now but I also know you
have to work at it.

He also told me if the band slipped again I could have a sleeve but I will have
to think a lot on that.

He also told me the first year would be the easiest the second harder and after
that you have to really work at it. So honeymoon over now.

The sleeve sounds good but in the states some are having bands on their
sleeves as they have stretched them. The new procedure you speak of sound good.

That's it eh Delia, to lose with the band ya need to be full on with some sort of diet.

For you Dukan was really effective, for me Calorie Counting was super effective but it's just soooo hard hanging on & being really strict the whole time.

Greeeeeeeeeeeee
I am up 5k this morning from my lowest so I have to keep to the dukan full on now to lost it and more.
I am annoyed with myself at first I could get away with a bit of a slip up then slowly all the old habit are returning till this has happened. A wake up call I can tell you.

So glad you are home safe. A shame you both as sick and I hope it passes
fast. If the diarrhea doesn't stop the raw white of an egg will do the trick. It
coats the bowl and stops it in no time at all. I can get it down and if you are
really sick you will also.

Mulberries aren’t fattening but not allowed on the Dukan but saying that I
lost a kg last week anyway.

Yes the birds a pest but for some reason this time there are not many on the
tree. Heaps around the yard. I love having our own fruit and vegetables but
have a bandicoot digging up the garden but so far he has only dug out a couple
of small flowers. They say they are good in the garden and he had dug up most
of it but left the vegetables so could be right.

You put on a lot of weight? So back on Dukan I would love someone to do it
with me again.
I bet you had heaps of fun eating and trying out different foods.

Take care Delia

I agree about the gym. If every member turned up they wouldn't have room. Are mulberries fattening? I thought berries would be ok. We never get much off our mulberry tree as the birds help themselves first. We have 45 trees in the orchard and only get citrus because of the birds. Can't grow veges except for potatoes and asparagus. The rabbits mustn't like them.

Home safe and sound. Alan is really sick. Vomiting and diarrhea and his body aches.. Lucky it only started once home. Not pleasant on a plane. I got up ok but my stomach is not so good now. I wonder if it was the food on the plane? Alan's stomach wasn't good before the plane. Just rumblings. I did drink water in the night in the bathroom from his glass. Forgot he wasn't well. LOL Now if I could crap out about 10kgs I would be happy

1kg gone but have been into the mulberries. After picking 7kk of them today
and freezing decided that was enough the birds can have the rest if no one
wants to come and pick them.

I am pleased seem to back on track now and with no mulberries should be totally
right again.

A new fitness centre opened here and I was thinking of joining but I don't really
like gym and if I sign up for a year I think I would probable drop out after a
while. Why don’t they have a weekly fee? I assume it is that they know so many
drop out and they get their money for a year anyway.

MMM what motivates you to go and stick to it?

I think I will just go back to walking 30 mins. a day and when hot again
will go into the beach 2 or 3 times a week.

yes it would be nice if when we lost it, it stayed bloody lost.

Never mind Delia... it will come back off in no time.

Subject: Re: Delia's Journey 10/09/12, 12:45 pm

Yes it comes on so easy but then I have been eating what ever I want just like the old days. Old habits hard to break but if I want to be a reasonable weight have to go back to dukan.
Delia

I have always been able to eat steak but I buy eye fillet for myself. I
don't eat much of it so I feel it is justified.

Another trip how lovely for you. We were in Asia 34 years ago and I loved
it. My husband won't travel with me these days unless it is in the van and fishing
so selfish. I had decided a few years ago that if I did not travel alone or
with a friend I would never do anything. So that is what I do but I long for
him to do it with me. There are things you can do with a male you can’t with a
female when traveling and places you can go. Especially at night.

The rocking must be a bugger of a thing to have and I do hope it improves
for you. I can understand how it must be so hard to try and do the diets with
that in your head all the time.

Take care Delia

Subject: Re: Delia's Journey 30/08/12, 11:00 pm

I had fill out 2 weeks ago. I can now eat steak. I am slowly regaining what I lost on dukan. I am going to get back into it when we get back from Phuket mid Sept. I am sure I will gain weight while away. The hotel has an award winning restaurant and we have 2 set thai dinners included in our package. We also have breakfast and they bring afternoon tea to your room each day. Chocolates on the pillow at night. Of course I don't have to eat any of it. We are booked in for another meal on my birthday so I will try to walk a lot. The weather here is terrible and I just don't feel like going outside at all. My rocking is coming back too. I could increase the dosage or just put up with it. Just in 2 minds at the moment.

Subject: Re: Delia's Journey 30/08/12, 10:59 am

Linda the weather was fantastic.
I did not stay completly on program and ate chocolate and again yesterday.
Well today I have been on a pv day and not eaten much at all the band seems to be a bit tight for some reason.
If I can't keep on P and PV days this week I am going to go to the next stage. I re read the book and Dr D says to do that or you may put the weight back on. I am really hoping I can stick to it as I want to lose the last of this weight and then go to the next stage and then stage 4.
It is hard with or withour the band but I do like the fact I had some fill out.
How are you going?
Delia

Subject: Re: Delia's Journey 19/08/12, 11:28 am

I have been on plan for the remainder of the week till today. Friends cooked beer battered flathead (our guys caught today) and chips for dinner. I just could not say no and also I ate more them I should have so now sitting here with a full belly and wondering what the damage will be tomorrow. Oh well all week to pulling it back in to gear. I think I will start walking tomorrow as the day are a little warmer.
Delia

Subject: Re: Delia's Journey 15/08/12, 08:14 am

I had a bad day today just could not stick to it. I have 6 days now where I hope I don't have to go out anywhere so am planning on sticking to this 100% like I did in the past.
Delia

Subject: Re: Delia's Journey 13/08/12, 10:53 pm

I am not doing it full on. Just adding more protein. Lunch had turned into a slider meal for me. I am having a good lunch now. I am getting fill out on 24 Aug so hopefully will enjoy more variety and maybe a steak!

Subject: Re: Delia's Journey 13/08/12, 11:55 am

Are you enjoying your food?
I bet you are.
I will post a turkey rissole recipe I made today. It is yummy with a nice sauce.
Delia

Subject: Re: Delia's Journey 12/08/12, 02:04 am

I now have some chicken and vege soup on from the stock. YUM

Subject: Re: Delia's Journey 11/08/12, 04:19 am

Thats good.

I added some dukkah to my chicken mince. Gave it a nice taste.

Subject: Re: Delia's Journey 11/08/12, 04:15 am

Ahhh Linda great you are getting back in to it. I feel so much better now on the 5th day.
The recipes are yummy and you just have to be prepared.
I set my friend up in Brisbane last week with all she needs to do. She did it with me for 4 days while I was with her. I think she will keep going as she lost her bloated stomach in a couple of days. She only has about 10k to lose but is handicaped and only walks on crutches. So she is doing well.
I don't bother with the coating on the scotch eggs either.
I have turkey mince to use tomorrow.
Last week I mixed it with about 1/8 cup of sparkling mineral water salt and pepper and one egg, 1 teaspoon parm cheese
Pressed into a pie plate and then masked a sweed and pasnip (no butter) but did add a tablespoon of parm cheese and toped the mince with it.
Bake till the mince is cooked and the top brown.
It was yummy.
Forgot I am 78.2 this morning so a few grams and I will be back to my lowest.
