Had a good day - but needed to close the curtains early

I woke early at 5am. This has been happening regular over the last couple of weeks. Anyway went and saw my sis and we came up with a low carb diet plan. Her two wee boys were on fine form. Came home and phoned my mum. She was just about to go out on a day trip.

I cooked myself pasta for lunch (last carbs for a while!) then watched a bit of tv.

So overall a good day. But I have closed my curtains early at 5pm. Is still light outside but sometimes my stamina has been used up and just need a little bit of respite.

Ps new game of thrones tonight’s!

I lost quite a lot of weight once with a low carb plan(Atkins) , but I wouldn’t recommend it long term. Then I just gained it all back anyway as It’s impossible to stick to.

Calorie counting is the only reliable way to lose weight and keep it off.

My problem is I really binge on carbs so not having them in the house would kinda be a weight off my mind. Am worried if I just count calories I will fail and beat myself up about it. The low carb diet sounds appealing cos you can eat quite a lot.

It’s very appealing. You can eat as much as you want basically :smile: but you’ll end up gaining all the weight back once you stop. And stop you will.

Ask your doctor to hook you up with a dietician. I failed many times on a calorie controlled diet, but this time it’s going OK thanks to the dietician.

well i tried my kilt waist coat and Jacket on today after about 3 years and it doesn’t fit me anymore, i squeezed into it but couldn’t button it up so i went to service with just the Jacket and a weird kind of cream shirt with leather ties around the collar lol, it looked of but people were saying where’s the kilt and i told them that i chickened out wearing it then i tried to button up my jacket and everybody laughed (i was just having a laugh with them),

after i went over to my mums and my sister came over so we sat around outside and had a chat, my nephew was awarded enhanced everything for PIP bc he has a brain damage from when he was a baby and he didn’t have to go for an interview which was lucky, anyway she was talking about getting a mutability car for him,

had a kick about with my other nephew and then got a chinese takeaway,

so i am kind of pooped and need a lot of rest, i’m just lying here with the window open now, my flat is at the back and one floor up, i have a good view from most of my windows and the trees stop people from looking in.

Your windows sound good. Did you wear pants instead of the kilt?
