When me and my boyfriend at the time (years ago!) went to the classes we would eat breakfast, skip lunch and go to the class and then stop for a kebab on the way home, funny thing is we wasn't the only people in the kebab shop from that class either!
We used to have blow out days most weekends and I can say I always lost so I don't think it did me much harm but I' sure I would of lost more if I had stuck without those days.
I'm a lot stricter this time round, ok so I'm on day 3 but still... lol I find it so much more easier to do this during the summer because in the winter I just want to comfort eat and I really am a huge comfort eater!
Ive used 13.5 syns these last 3 days which to me is very good considering I was using the full 15 each day previously, Ive decided if I get a huge craving for something I will have it but instead of buying a multi-pack or whatever I will buy a single and make sure the temptation of having more of whatever I fancy isn't in the house, if it's not in then it's not a choice to have it.
I also think it would be more of a temptation to have blow out days during the winter because I can cover up more and feel more confident with myself like that but during the summer months I can't do that which is ever more of a motivation because I want to lose weight to gain the confidence to go out and not have to wear a hoody or cardigan to cover my body!!
