blonde's sf diary... please read and check I'm doing it right

[sarah88]

Well after a good long think I've decided to give sf a proper go. I only did the odd day then would go back to doing sw but I've decided that unless I give sf a proper go I'm not going to know if it works for me or not...I'm still a tad scared I'll over eat or have too many bread products and gain. I want all you lovelies to keep an eye on me and pester me to stick to this as I so want to lose weight and be my happy self that I once was before getting so fat xx

I will keep my eye on u!

 

[blonde8]

Thanks Hun xx

Quick question...when anyone has bagel's do you have one or two xx

Depends what u have with them, if u have scrambled egg bacon an bagel - just one! If u just have bagel - then two!

Well done for giving it a fair chance Hope your day has gone well.

Hey Blonde8, I seem to have missed your diary somehow up until now so a belated welcome

I too moved from SW a few weeks ago and I was a bit worried about gaining without the structure of 1/3 super free or red/ green days and healthy extras but although I the scales are being excruciatingly stubborn and not going down much I am definitely not gaining. What I have gained is a feeling of being much more "normal" and in control around food choices which I am REALLY enjoying. I have done predominantly PP for the last two weeks as I wanted to check my portion sizes weren't the reason I wasn't losing much on my first couple of SF weeks. It seems they were fine so I am going back to predominantly SF after weigh in on Saturday and really looking forward to it.

As regards the bagels I tend to only have one but I usually have one for breakfast rather than lunch. And with ample bacon or smoked salmon in. Two bagels would only be 8PP so thats definitely a reasonable portion for breakfast or lunch really. The WW bagels being free is one of the greatest things about SF I reckon.

For breakfast this morning I had two bagel's with Marmite and Philly. Feel bad for eating all that tho. Does anyone else eat that much xx

 

[blonde8]

Change of plan I made two bagels but only managed to eat one xx

 

[sarah88]

U would have been fine eating both but well done on stopping when satisfied

 

[blonde8]

I'm always worried on eating too much bread products xx

 

[Atomic pink]

I think you really need to trust the plan a bit more and relax and enjoy it. Its not like you can have ANY bread product, there are a just a few calorie controlled high fibre options that are free so even if you ate lots of these you aren't going to be doing *much* damage. There would have been nothing wrong with having the two bagels for breakfast at all.

Have you tried pro pointing your meals at all? I am not suggesting you need to follow this but getting used to how many pro points something is can be quite reassuring if you are worried about portion sizes.

 

[blonde8]

I think I'm going to go back to doing sw until I get my head back into the idea of dieting however I will miss you all as the sw forum is less friendly and *****y whereas this forum isn't so I will still be updating on you all. Xx

 

[Atomic pink]

Good luck with SW. Definitely let us know how you get on. x

 

[icklerockchick]

Best of luck with it all I find most of the sw people are lovely but now avoid the off topic section as few nasty people lurk there that are forever moaning lol! X

 

[blonde8]

If I'm totally honest I'd love to give sf a go but I'm so scared of eating too much bread products and putting on weight. And I really can't bear the thought of doing pp. Maybe I do need the change from slimming world tho. I've messed about with it for so long xx

Well good luck with sw! I no this isn't a sw forum but I will say I wouldn't mind u posting ur diary on here still, I think the sf forum is a good support system!

 

[blonde8]

I prefer this forum so much more, I will continue to write my diary on here as your all much nicer and I like reading everyone's too xx

 

[Atomic pink]

I like this part of the forum too I think because there isn't many of us there is much more of a community feel to it. I didn't end up posting on the SW forum as much as it was so big and there were so many people on it I felt more annonymous. I feel rather more accountable to you guys which actually does make me think twice when I think I want something!

Posting your SW diary on here would be fine by me too. Also me, Gobolino and icklerockchick have done SW for a long time so should be able to help out with that side of things. I don't think WW or SW are really better or worse than one another, its just about finding which one works for you best at the moment.

Thank you Hun and yeah I think your right about there being less of us, I def feel support from you all on here xx

Plus if too much bread is your main concern here a while on sw will get you used to only having 1 or 2 "bready things" a day and using other things for meals then if you wanted to try sf you could x
