Hey everyone,
Well I've officially stayed off MFP and here for some time just to try take the obsession away from my head. I think sometimes we can over obsess about things and that's definitely me. I got so very upset seeing the weight increase in MFP and then also when I lost my 280 odd day roll on MFP then got upset when I didn't reach 10000 steps on pacer... Then got upset when I couldn't stick to 800-1000 kcal on MFP... You get the picture.,. Numbers! Everywhere! Everyday numbers and limits and restrictions and figures and I felt like I was going to explode. I had to burn a minimum of 300 kcals a day then had to eat 1000kcals my mind has been all over the shop and I just couldn't be "perfect" I melted down . Too much, I realised since February I've not socialised. Not enjoyed life at all. As much as the stress of everything is causing me massive bouts of depression I didn't sign up to this. I think we under estimate how much emotional connection is in food.
Anyways, so fresh start for me today, I'm trying a 7 day water fast, apparently it's an awesome way to recleanse your body the fastest way by just drinking water, my taste buds are all over the shop and I still eat too much high fat sh!t that I shouldn't thru ( depression ) I guess. So I figured go hard. Recleanse my colon, taste buds and health by starting with 7 days. It will also reboots weight loss of which weekly I fluctuate between 10st4lb -7lb . Which is cr@p and I'm unhappy because I'm at fat 10st4-7 lbs it's all on my belly and thighs. Vile. Granted I'm not 15st myself anymore but for me. I don't like it. So yes I'm going to give the cleanse a go. I read lots about the side effects but I think it's what I need and if it's true Junkies and alcoholics can go into cold turkey mode and get thru then this is my way... Possibly the hardest but I cannot do juicing etc. the tastes are grosse and I'd rather just drink water to fill me up than some manky juice flavours.
I'll prob end up using the site to record my miserableness thru detoxing and my progress and the side effects. Fingers xd I find some strength in myself to complete it... It's 7 days of my life that's it... If it can rid the cravings then it's worth it

Hello my beauty's!
Oh my god. Life just keeps knocking you when things get hard. So what's been happening?
Firstly, I go so frigging pissed off with writing posts and they didn't save then I was having to re download the app every time a update on iOS came out!
Secondly, I joined a gym ! It's a spit and sawdust one and I've been living it to be honest. Really got into HIIT training. It's not made me loose weight though but I have amazing results in sense of health. My BMI is 21 . My muscle % is 33.8% muscle ( which for a female is high ) my body fat % is 24% which is healthy and the best thing is my viscule fat ( the fat surrounding my vital organs - likely to endure heart failure etc ) is only 3% .... Healthy is 9% ish. so I'm working on getting my body fat down to about 20-15 % . Quite low but with the amount of muscle I have I could try get there. I do Spin. Boxercise . leg bum tums. Personal training. Running/hill walking . TRX extreme and circuits- every day is a different class one toning one cardiovascular. So it's helped mentally..
Thirdly, my granddad , 7 days before flying out to Cyprus and the same day teddy . My dogue de Bordeaux died last year had a stroke. He was rushed into hospital. Following days of tests they found out his body is riddled with cancer. He has it in his brain, lung, kidneys, stomach, liver and some glands. Now my granddad is an 86 year old man who drives, is an established war historian and fine paint artist, he was 35 years a met police officer. He just wasn't meant to be leaving the earth with such a strong dose of disease. Not that anyone should but we all thought my nan, who deaf and just frail looking would be first.... Turns out life just keeps digging at me. It's been hoffiric watching my parents , mainly my mum who's dad it is fall apart, she's such a strong woman and never shows her feelings. But turns out she is human and not a robot after all. It broke my heart. We are awaiting further biopsy results on Thursday this week. It's hard at the moment. All that on the week my heart broke last year loosing teddy, then angel on 21st Feb then the heart breaking news about granddad on 14/05/15 :-(
Forth, we went on our holiday to Cyprus, it was lovely. I finally saw how small I was too even though waking around I never felt it but looking at pictures .... I saw it. I got a lovely tan and had an amazing relax which was SO needed following all the stress I'm under . My weighs just sat at 10.4 / 6 at 5ft10 so can't grumble . I'd love to be in the 9s again but to be honest the muscle I'm building.... Can't work both ways !
That's pretty much all I can write at the mo.
I've missed u all lots and banded talk. Etc. I'll make more effort to come on everyday now.
Oh and I got a Fitbit. So I don't use MFP much and I'm trying not to calorie count at the mo and eat lean from the Instagram site the body coach! ( amazing food etc ) xxx
Some holiday pics to follow.

Hi Banded sorry to hear your sad news, but so glad your coping. Your grandad my be gone but you sound like you have many happy loving memories which will travel around with you and they are the important part of loosing someone special, they are something thats unique to you and you only because you will always have your own that on one else will know about. So keep them close to your heart. Your also looking so good and I hope your enjoying your new body because you have worked hard to get it well done. Sending you a little Monday morning hug.
