Morning Emmy
Sorry I didn't manage to get back to you before you went away, hope you're having a lovely time.
Will put up a list later, for future reference, or maybe email it to you so you've always got it handy then, of all the low syn or free foods you can buy in Icelands....and there are loads, I often use them at my family get togethers or parties.
Have an awesome Sunday hun :hug99: xxxx

Hi everyone, just a super quick update
Yesterday was a complete and utter disaster (not food wise, well I don't think it was). I couldn't actually get any of the dresses on as I'm too big and I got really upset, but I did fall in love with a dress that I really can see myself in. Then on the way home I found out my mum's dogs had been attacked by another dog and she had been hurt trying to separate them. And then had my aunty making comments about a status on fb.
I really wanted to go and pig out on chocolate. But I didn't, which I'm feeling quite proud of. I just had 2 fibre plus bars to get my choccy fix instead :giggle:

That's horrible about your Mum and her dogs :bighug:
Ignore your Aunt - whatever she said.
So sorry your shopping trip was rubbish. Please don't be upset. You coped so well by not pigging out and only having fibre plus bars. You will fit into loads of dresses really soon he way your going. Just don't give up x

I have a confession to make ... today hasn't been very on plan. I've lost count of how many syns I've had. I haven't been pigging out, but I've just been making some bad choices - multi grain roll, chicken nuggets, orange juice 
We go home tomorrow, so I'm back to the grindstone and working hard to lose some extra weight as I'm determined to feel better in myself at my next dress appointment whenever that may be. I've never felt so mortified and ashamed of myself as I did yesterday afternoon. I'm just glad that I didn't bend to temptation and buy loads of rubbish in and pig out (despite my bad food choices today).
I'll update again tomorrow night when we get home and have settled back in xxx

Oh no. Don't feel bad x
When I went wedding dress shopping none of them fit me! I was a 16-18 and none did up but got a vague idea and then they order one in your size. For some reason the samples are all small sizes usually
Anyway, next time will be fab as you are a machine when you're on it and your enthusiasm is all back x

Just popping back on before we start packing the car etc...
I'm going to try and ease back into it today, try and make some better choices and see how that goes, but because we'll be on the road I'm going to be pretty limited to what I can grab. But tomorrow I'll be back on it 100000000% as I'm determined not to feel that way next time I have an appointment in Frodsham. I'll definitely be going back to her because I fell in love with that dress. It'll probably sound silly, but I keep dreaming about it. And literally the online photos do it no justice even when you zoom in on the underbust area, it doesn't show the gorgeous crystals and pearls

So food wise, I'll be completely honest, I don't know how well I'm going to do today, but I'll do my best with the choices that I can make
I've just had a bowl of cornflakes (about 5 syns worth and my hexa)
I've got strawberries and mango in the fridge which I'll probably save for in the car
We'll be stopping off for petrol so I'll be able to get a drink
I can have my hexb alpen light bars in the car too
Then maybe just grab some cheese from Tesco on our way through newtown and I can have cheesy pasta tonight when we get in and call today a green day?

Gorgeous dress and what great motivation to slim into! Your plan today sounds good. It's difficult when you're travelling, because you're so limited and rely on shop food. You could always try picking up cooked chicken or ham at service station if you get hungry. Obv would have to be hexb or extra easy day but better than a lot of the food at service stations
Good luck and safe journey home x

The dress is absolutely beautiful - any time you're feeling a little bit wobbly on the plan just remember how much you loved it!
