Yeah, I might try and turn it into one weigh in after next week. I wanted to be sure I could tell if I as losing/gaining on the switch-over of diets. I gt weighed at 5:30pm in my old diet. First thing in the morning might be a more accurate week in week out weigh in (not due to clothes/food eaten/water drunk). Any thoughts?
I'm on my first 2nd full day and I am really loving food! So far today I've had egg and bread (trying to keep this as a regular breakfast as its quick, hot and filling), a mince pie, jacket potato, ham, baked beans and salad. I need to get some fruit and milk in later but I stil have 10 points to play with! I might also get a Boots shapers mint bar....Mm.....
I'm going to a friends for lasagne tomorrow night - guessing 13 points and to an evening craft night at Church where there will be mulled wine and mince pies!
Anyone know the points for mulled wine?
I am trying to 'manage my thoughts' in WW speak. I know the danger time for me is evening. Ooooohhhh a little bit of chocolate, oh that tasted good, oooooh a little more. I desrve it/want it/need it/stuff the diet/why should I diet anyway....
My strategies:
baths (possible to eat in baths but its not ideal)
No point soup on stand-by in the freezer
A little of what I fancy in the points
Catch the thoughts early and stop/distract/reason.
There is no-way I'm going to go through the whole WW journey (lifelong-change) without tripping up/dealing with sts and gain weeks.. cross those bridges when I reach them.
glad you're enjoying your eggs, though remember to keep to max 6 a week as they are bad for your cholesterol levels.
I would WI on a morning - that means its over and done with first thing, and means you wont be tempted to skip meals so you will weigh less!
no point soup wise, carrot and ginger is lovely - really thick and you would think creamy but just the texture
0pts and a nice change from carrot and coriander or normal vegetable.Evening is my danger time too - i dont know how your work life is, but if I can I knock my breakfast / lunch back an hour later and that means I can wait an extra hour for tea. I used to eat as soon as I came home from work but now I take time out for an hour - have a big glass of water and sit and either come on here, read a book or watch some telly and then make tea. Means I tend to snack less as I'm full until later in the evening
Little bit of chocolate-wise, curly wurlies are only 2.5pts and cadburys fudges only 2 so maybe keep a couple around the house should you have a chocolate craving
much better than 5-6pts for a normal bar of cadburys! Fun-size bags of maltesers are only 2.5 (i think, will have to double check) too xx
