Beth's food diary aka mission 'get gorgeous' ;)

[Ali*]

I always give myself many syns for the red stuff cos I find it difficult to use them in meals - it seems a waste to use them on ketchup when I could have wine xx

Oh, I'm with you all the way hun

I haven't got a sweet tooth and absolutely hate it when I find out that I've synned in a meal accidentally!

 

[Befanwi]

I don't crave anything sweet at all.. I do miss crisps though, but I'd still much rather have some lovely wine starting to sound like a wino now.. I just think that synning
Snacks is a waste for me when I by and large prefer the free food anyways..

What days do you do btw? You having some good losses? Xx

Ha ha ... we do sound like a couple of lushes!! arty0036:

I started SW almost 4 weeks ago and have lost 6.25 lbs (don't forget the .25 ).

I haven't found it a strain at all ... hardly had to change my eating habits at all really, except for dropping the bread roll and packet of crisps at lunch but that's been easier than I thought.

It has deffo made me consider how much vino I was drinking ... only 2 glasses maybe 4 times a week but syn for syn this is bad :cry:So the vino collapso and the crisps (more than anything) have had to go :sigh:

I think I'm going to hit the infamous brick wall this week. I've got to keep going though ... I'd like to lose 2 stone!!

Keep up the good work hun

 

[Befanwi]

Yeah two stone is about my goal.. Lost half a stone already, but not lost in ageeeees! Ideally would love to get down to nine and a half, which is just under two stone away.. Going away for two night next week as well and not sure how well I'll be able to stick to it eating on the go - there's only so many salads one can eat!

I was hungry, what can I say

But London for three days next week.. Diet not possible, no doubt lots of sandwhiches on the run.. :/ so gain is inevitable next week gonna try and do damage limitation, plus I'll be walking loaaads!
Still a bit anxious though, but can't cook for myself in a hotel and girl can't survive off salad alone will just have to be *relatively* careful and sensible

20/2/2011

Didn't eat enough today :/ but was so hungry as I was out and about that when it got to dinner time I felt really bloated still feel a bit icky now so no chance of other hexs..

Breakfast: apple

Lunch: was out, had planned a jacket and beans but the tearoom had sold out :/ so ended up with homemade veg soup.. I asked what was in it and it was made that morning how I would have made it, so have taken it as though it was hm and therefore free apart from the tiniest bit of oil (ive counted a tsp for 2 syns .. But the woman claimed a tblspn in the whole massive pot.. Better safe than sorry though)

Dinner: pasta, ratatouille, salad, free dressing and hexa lf feta..

And that's all folks! X
