I thought keeping a food diary might encourage me not to go off the scale when I syn as sharing my current binges with people would be very embarrassing! I have done slimming world in the past and lost 2st 12lbs but I'm officially starting again. Is there anyone else that hates telling people they're on a diet? Stupid when you actually think about as getting healthy is definitely a good thing!
I try to keep my daily intake of syns to a minimum as I often have to save up most of them for alcohol (hence the name of the thread... student).
I also exercise alot (everyday) which can sometimes play tricks with my mind telling me that it's absolutely fine to eat lots more than I would if I wasn't exercising. Silly but I'm getting over it.
