Proud to be a loser!!
Right, I need to sort myself out, I have decided to keep a food diary and see if it helps. I do red and green, mostly green (I've never quite grasped the ee idea, I'm too set in the old school ways) and have up to 15 syns per day. I have 11lbs to lose to get back to target, I want to achieve this. It may help if I cut down the number of syns...I'll have a think about that!
I'll post my food starting tomorrow.

Wish me luck!! :D

Ok, here we go..I started off this morning feeling really positive. I've had 42g of crunchy bran (hexb) topped with sliced banana and blueberries and using milk from my hexa allowance, for lunch I've had a ham sandwich made with wholemeal bread (hexb) and a strawberry muller light, so far so good, then I suddenly remembered, it's 6th December and I am going out for a christmas meal tonight..eek! It's a three courser so I can't begin to calculate how many syns I'll be having, safe to say it will definitely be over 15!! Think I will try not to worry about it too much and just look forward to having a good night and start again tomorrow :)

Got weighed today and I'm very pleased to say I've lost 3lb!!.. :woohoo: Looks like I've got away with my my overeats on Tuesday night out and kids party Friday (phew). Hopefully they won't catch up with me next week! Will have to be good. The only thing I can think of that's in my way this week is on Thursday when we're having christmas lunch at work, shouldn't be too bad though as the portions are usually not too big.

It's only just dawned on me, anyone looking at this food diary will think the only drinks I have are alcoholic ones!! :party0036: I haven't been making a note of my non-alcoholic drinks - daily I have about 4-5 cups of coffee (made with hexa milk allowance), I also have the occasional no added sugar squash drink and/or diet coke/pepsi, diet lemonade. When I'm at work (3 on 3 off shift pattern) I have about 7-8 glasses of water (plus coffees).
