Jim - I thought that too - feels different this time. That i'm taking it seriously - that the only person who loses out if I cheat is me. I'm being far more open about it too. I'm not embarrassed to say no to things now.
I remember last time being at work and someone offering me a slice of cake - I said no and said I was on a diet and the response was so cutting - "It's a bit late for that - have some cake'' I don't think i ever dared mention it again. But i'm a more confident person now
to stand up for myself.
Rosyro - they have a new plan called extra easy which is a combination of red and green - less restrictive and much more geared to healthy choices
nicky9 - wow 23lbs lost in January!!! Go you! That's fabulous I bet you are over the moon!!!
This weekend's challenge is - a weekend away in Cardiff!! For Rugby League - Rugby League matches not famous for their healthy food selections - unless you count pie as one of your 5 a day ... which I think they do in Wigan lol
So planning has been done - i'm taking my cooler box - it's full of fruit, HIfi bars, cherry tomatoes, celery sticks and light primula cheese.
I've also saved quite a lot of syns since tuesday - so i have a few extras to use if required.
I've looked at restaurants- tapas tonight (Big salads, meatballs and spanish omelettes) Indian on Saturday (Chicken shaslick and boiled rice - with daal) Sunday - Pub grub (jacket potato and chicken with salad) and Monday i'll probably cook at home to save syns!!
So hopefully i'm all prepared
