Hi Emily hi Jen well had preety horrendous few days , I'm starting afresh Sunday new week new start , I know it's just another excuse to waste tomorrow but we all do it I'm sure,
I went to a ww meeting today its free to join and free first class so I thought why not go along and see what it's all about , and get the starter pack it's another option to try maybe for a couple of weeks , Well I don't think it's really for me it's not floated my boat so to speak , portions are really restricted and almost everything is pointed everything needs weighing I can't be fafing about doing that , so I think I'm a sw baby through and through , and it's helped me want to get back on track in a strange sort of way,

We had a sort of health roadshow at work and WW rep was there so I listened and pocked up their leaflets and had a read and a chat, but couldn't get past the need for weightng and the reliance on WW products and ready meals etc. The idea that there doesn't seem to be a diff between white and wholegrain in their eyes was just too weird for me to get my head round. I'm same as you if I'm trying to eat my way slim I'm using SW methods. Go SW.

hi marieavon, been reading your posts, sounds like you really want to make positive changes, good on you; but sounds like you reach for crap foods when youre feeling low, i used to do that but now i either make myself do something ie focus on something else, or if its a nice day i go out for a walk; there are lots of free foods on sw ie fruit and veg that you can fill up on instead of eating junk...its about focussing on the positive, not always easy but it is doable, good luck
thing is to try and stick at it and remember why you are doing it and stay with it

I know I find it strange , and I don't want to be having micro ready meals every night ,

only you can break that cycle, you can do it mariavon come on girl think how proud you will be of yourself, just set baby steps and you will do it, one day at a time

 

[Kate54]

what do you have planned for today?

if it were me, i'd be asking myself, am i really hungry?
do i really need to eat this [whatever it is]
why am i eating it [whatever it is]
might be an idea, sounds like you dont have a lot for breakfast either, do you have any cereals? ie oats or grains? they will fill you up as well, i have 30g bitesize shreddies with strawberry and banana and that does me till lunchtime

I usually have a banana wen I get to work , yea I need to think before a reach , ive just had a few bad days and it sent me off track I know I can do it , I've lost 7 stone since last July but struggled since Xmas not fully committed to plan , I need to re focus myself think re read books get it all fresh again I think I'd come a little complacent , will have a look at cereals but can't really face anything first thing ,
How u finding the plan is your journey going well

They have their place when you're stuck for time and inclination, but not all the time.

I don't do breakie either cos of meds that have to be taken at a set time and on an empty tum which must stay empty for a further hour. But like you I try to eat something to kick start the metabolism when I get to work abd as soon as the hour is up. Have you tried magic porridge as an option to take to work for breakkie.

Excellent planning. I love a picnic me.

There's a few of on a 100% challenge ATM do you want to join us. Im astounded by how much extra motivation it has given me this past week, cos I've been like you and lacked focus since christmas. Might be worth giving it a go.

Sounding thick !!! Wots magic porridge ?

Sounding thick !!! Wots magic porridge ?

i was wondering about that!
i love porridge but i tend to make my own from scratch, takes minutes and you know exactly what's gone into it, whereas ready made sachets tend to contain a lot of sugar and additives; i use jumbo oats, add water, microwave for about 3 minutes, add berries and a dollop of yogurt or soya milk and a glob of agave nectar to sweeten or granulated sweetener
lovely, i often put banana on as well
a really good start to the day, as my gp says, the 'breakfast of champions', its good for you and nutritious and will keep you full till lunchtime

Excellent plan the more the merrier I say.

It's perfect for people like me who are not good with mornings. You just take a HEb (35g) of porridge oats and pop it in a sealable pot add a mullerlight of your choice. stir, add lid, pop in fridge till ready to take it to work. You can have it as is or mix in berries or banana as you wish. The muller for me means I don't need to add sweetener either but thats personal pref obv. Some folk love em others hate it but might be worth a try.

Another thing to try if you want to bulk out a muller is add a few teaspoons of plain dry cous cous to the pot and leave till cous cous has softened from the yog. YUMM Sounds a bit odd but is really nice.

oooh patsy inever thought of doing that with the muller and oats, what a good idea and adding cous cous, i will try that too
managed to get some weetabix chocolate spoonsize today, 35g counts as a hexb so will try that, as i love chocolate, just not the calories and fat!!

Well diary sorry I've neglected you a bit lately I've been ashamed and embarrassed to post what I hav been eating , i didn't so much as fall off the wagon more Like it slammed the breaks on and I shot through the windscreen where upon it reved up and ran over me, so after a bad couple of weeks a bit battered and bruised I'm venturing to put my hand out and stop the blasted thing I'm asking for extra strong seat belts to keep me anchored in,
I'm taking highway 100% to a town called "4 stone lighter",

Anyway that's my plan , and I think I really need to get out more lol ,
