ProPoints Dominoes' Diary

It's a few more than that. I just have a day off this week and then I'm back next Wednesday. I can't wait to hit the supermarket!

I ate all the Christmas biscuits this weekend but my weight is currently 11st6 so obviously they can't have been too bad! We have so much snow at the moment, our balcony is about 1/3 full of it! Good excuse to stay home and make soup at least!

Monday's food:
breakfast: muesli, yogurt SF
snacks: cereal bar 3
lunch: chicken soup SF
dinner: out, maybe a Korean place so that should be fairly healthy! plus some drinks but I have about 20 weeklies spare.

Haha! If only I'd known you lot were so easily entertained! There are so many funnier words in German!

Im very easily pleased lol my german teacher a school was called miss dumper and i cracked up every single week in her class.

As you can tell i was/still am very mature ;)
 
This is the perfect time to share these with you then. I've actually never had one, the name kind of puts me off... I think they're marshmallow inside!

Omg, thats hilarious.

The fact they have marshmallow inside opens up allsorts of double entendres ;)

I hadn't even thought of that! That's so much worse!

Haha ;)
 
I hate waking up with a hangover. WW has done serious damage to my ability to drink wine but I was partially to blame last night. Four glasses of red wine and a beer with dinner. I just want to go back to bed! The scales are still 11st6 this morning so at least I should manage 3lb off this week.

Today is definitely SF because I can't point my lunch.

Breakfast: muesli and yogurt eaten in the dark to save my head
Lunch: Bibimbap leftovers from the Korean place last night, a mixture of rice, beef, veg and some hot sauce (apparently containing red chili, glutinous rice, fermented soybeans and salt. Yum. Thanks Wikipedia!)
Dinner: probably chicken soup that I made at the weekend, maybe with some bread (we don't have low cal stuff here, the only SF one is the heaviest darkest bread so I might cheat a bit)

Morning hun! Your drinking abilities sounds pretty similar to mine these days!!

Do you weigh yourself every morning? Do you find it messes with your head? I used to work with a guy who lost a lot of weight and he weighed himself every day and he used to track it so he knew how the food he ate and drank effected his weight the next morning. I used to weigh myself all the time but it messed around with my head far too much and now I just look forward to the surprise once a week!! x
 
I can't help it! Obviously I only take Wednesday's weight as the real one but I find it hard not to jump on the scales every morning. Some mornings I don't weigh myself but I'm always curious to see how much it varies depending on what I ate/drank. I think if I go to class in January I'll find it easier not to peek at the scale because I won't have constant access to the "official" scale. Maybe I'll leave my scales in Germany and just use the ones in Boots or at a class...
 
Funny you should say that but going to a class is what actually got me out of the habit as I didnt want to find out how the actually compare!

I'm going it alone now but so far I haven't been on them so it looks like I might be cured lol! x
 
Maybe that's the solution then! How did you find it messed with your head? If anything I think it keeps me on track!

Well if i didn't see a loss I would start over thinking the plan and it would either send me spiralling the other way and eat everything in sight or I would be as miserable as sin and feel so fed up... It's all the head at the end of the day and I know from experience that daily weighing isn't for me! x
 
Haha, ok that makes sense. I do kind of overthink the weight loss thing when I see the variations. Not sure I'm going to explain this very well but I understand how not eating as much / sticking to the plan makes me lighter but it sometimes feels like it's just because I don't have so much food in me. I'm about 8lb down and it still doesn't feel very noticeable. Maybe when I'm closer to 11st I'll feel more like I've actually lost weight. Sorry, that sentence is even confusing for me!
 
even after losing 2st with ww and S&S I couldn't feel any difference in my body, but felt better in myself, I felt a tiny bit less fat and horrible and greedy :) i also felt a tiny bit more confident too.


the feeling of change will happen when something you put on is too big and you have to buy something new, I bet one day it will just click :)
 
I hope so! I think because I'd put on weight over the last year and I'm just getting back to where I was, most of my clothes are just fitting right again and I can feel that with some of them. Hopefully it'll just click when I finally have to buy smaller sizes.

it will do lovely, I was the same, because all my clothes "stretched with me" when I put on weight it's hard for me to gauge what size I am, whether things fit better. Guess that teaches me for living in joggers and baggy clothes lol!

I now have a couple of item that don't stretch so I can measure my losses against them.
 
I totally get that... I got to target in January after losing 2st 12.5lbs and I just didnt feel any different. I just couldn't see it. Even though I was buying size 10 clothes and even some size 8's from asda I still didn't feel it. I still remember taking a size 8 dress to the checkout and thinking to myself that the woman at the till must look at me and think I am kidding myself... silly isnt it but it's true.

I think that one thing that would have really helped me would have been to keep my 'fat' clothes. I either sold them on ebay of chucked them out as I swore that i would never have to wear them again. When I was buying new clothes I just thought they would fit me even if I put the weight back on again as I couldn't see the loss if you see what i mean. At least if i'd have been able to put some of my old clothes on or even put my new pair of jeans up against an old pair I would have been able to tell that way

I know i've waffled on about me but I think it takes awfully long time for our heads to catch up with our bodies. If I could taken nearly 3st off of me over night I would have defo have noticed but because it was gradual process over 6 months i dont think your mind notices it as much x
 
Waffle away! It's good to know I'm not the only one. It's especially silly as the trousers I'm wearing today used to be really tight when I bought them about three years ago and they're hanging off me at the moment!
