Teresa's Fresh start SW diary

Well I have lost count of how many diaries I have started on here. But over the years have done every diet.

Then all of a sudden last week after a 2 years of flitting from WW to SW to Juddd to giving up dieting (beyond chocolate) to 5/2 and The Harcombe diet. I came to the sudden realisation that at almost 50 I have been dieting 35 years and the truth is I need a diet or eating plan that will work for ever. And reflecting back the time I have got to target and maintained within 7 ish pounds for the longest was with SW and most of the time on SW do not feel deprived and feel like I eat fairly normally.

Now if all that is true why did i ever stray? Well the truth of the matter is no matter how much I love SW I also would love a world where i can eat as much cake /chocolate and cheese as I want and not gain weight. Until that magic happens I need an eating plan I can live with .

I started back on SW last monday but have not gone back to group yet. I am not sure whether I will go back this tuesday or after christmas as in 2 weeks I go on a 21 day holiday !! But I would also like to lose a little before then will assess this tuesday .

I find an online diary the easiest way to look at my week and keep an eye on how I am doing.

So if you have read through that hope i get some visitors and comments

Hi Teresa

Found your diary! Here to subscribe to yours too.

Welcome to my diary hope it doesn't bore you to tears

Last nights dinner was very tasty but POSH so small portions if I break down the syns my estimate is something like this

Starter
Smoked salmon terrine 7 syns for cream cheese as left half of it
With 2 very thin toasted bread triangles 3
Main
Turkey free
Veg free
3 small roasties 3 syns
Small stuffing square 4
2 pigs in blankets tiny ones 7
Tiny amount if gravy 1
Pudding
Chocolate fondant thing very small and not that good so I left half
Teeny scoop of ice cream
20 syns

I think I am overestimating for everything but happy to count it as 40 syns plus 3 for my advent chocolate

So as I had 41 syns available will just keep today low and go back to normal for the rest of the week

Working all weekend so as long as I don't pick at kids leftovers all is good

Today's menu
Breakfast
Banana running late
Lunch
Jacket and beans
Dinner
Bacon and mushroom tagliatelle
With extra veg

Heb
