Thankyou for the reasurance.. If you saw my portions sizes I'm sure you'd think it was loads too! I'm not a huge snacker but when I eat.. I eat! Lol

The scales said a pound this morning.. Every pounds and pound but I do have a feeling I'll see a bigger loss next week as it's the tail end of *week so water retention all round me thinks..

I had a couple of naughty days Im afraid - end of exams treat huge night out planned - meal and cocktails and decided I deserved a couple of days off
Just to enjoy myself without the guilt after working so hard..

So I had Chinese food, cocktails, and then a nandos the next day but I'm back on the wagon now after a thoroughly enjoyable 36 hours

No syns for the rest of the week, damage limitation, but not feeling remotely guilty or reluctant to get back on plan.. Feel so much better for having planned a blowout rather than a binge striking me unawares and even though I have no idea how many syns I had and made no attempt to flexisyn it I do feel I was in control as I
Managed to get back on plan as soon as I said I would.. Even though everyone else had a chippy last night and bacon butties with butter on White this morning

It's still early days for me really it does help that it doesn't really feel like a diet.. Plus I love cooking so that helps a lot! The bad news is that I'm going to London on Wednesday and as I'll be staying in a hotel and eating out for 3 days I can be sensible, but I can't really stick to the plan 100% (nor would I want to really! I'd rather have a few glasses of wine thankyou!) as wednesday is my WI day though and so a new week to these couple of days off hopefully it won't damage me too much, I'm expecting a pound or so gain overall, but that will come off easily and at least now I know I can get back on track..

Nothing planned for a while after that so I know I'm safe xx

 

[julesm]

Sounds like lots of fun! Bet you'll have a great time and you're right not to worry too much about eating out, these are the moments you need to enjoy!!xxx

I'd rather hve a week where I maintain than sit in a restaurant resenting the diet and then coming home and eating crisps till I explode! so.. I'm going to enjoy it!
