Felix's new to SW diary!

[Rkmriddell]

He's been promising to make me a chilli since we started SW last week! Im going to text him now and demand he cooks for me tonight

Good on you might see if I can convince hubby too lol. X

 

[Felix]

He just text me saying 'fajitas for tea?' knowing full well I don't want to eat fajita wraps because of the syns and knowing its my favourite meal! Oh dear!

 

[stivesliz]

Oddly enough I used to do the core plan at WW and I used to wish it just allowed you those few extra bits and hey ho, SW developed the Extra Easy which is similar to core but loads better!

I too have been a serial dieter over the years but seriously, SW is the best one out there. The EE plan is a brilliant way of life and not just a quick fix. I lost 4 stone last year and although half sneaked back on at Christmas and is still hanging around I am determined to succeed.

Good luck for your new journey - you will love it! x

Fajitas are actually really tasty when mixed with rice. I was really pleasantly surprised x

 

[Felix]

Ooh I never thought of that! OH makes some really good Mexican rice using passata and spices! He's cooking a curry apparently. And he's been to the shop and bought me a bag of those Malteasers mini bunnies... Around 1200 calories for the bag!! He bought me a massive bag of chocolate m&ms the other day too. It's annoying because he knows I'm trying to diet, but I know he's only doing it to cheer me up. I've always been an emotional eater and if he sees me down in the dumps he will buy me chocolate to make me happier. I do need to have a word with him about it again though, because if I open either of them I know I'll scoff the lot. I was thinking of splitting the m&ms up in to portions so I know the syns, but not sure how many grams to measure each portion out as??

Wow 4 stone that's amazing! That is how much I'd like to lose how long did it take you? Are you back doing SW again? Thank you for your kind words x

The curry was... erm... interesting! OH said it's probably the worst meal he's ever made haha!! Just made a pudding with sweetened quark, strawberries and a crushed up meringue nest. It was lovely!

Going to chop up my pineapple and melon and take it for work tomorrow

Work out how many are in the bag, and how many sweets there are and divide it up that way.... my mini mars bars came this morning for the freezer, they're tiny for 4 syns but i'm going to enjoy one tonight lol. Good idea splitting them up though. Yeah the rice is gorgeous with fajitas, def worth a try and the fajita mix old el paso is only 5 syns for the pack x

LOL bless him for trying though eh!!! I love quark on sw, it's so versatile isn't it. I love dipping some strawberries in sweetned quark, although i'm well into the choc philly at the moment.

Hello lovely! Did u split the packs or gobble them all up like I probably would have haha? Oh noooo about the curry, at least he cooked for you tho bless him x

 

[Felix]

The chocolates are still firmly locked away in their packaging! He also pulled out a bag of Malteasers and a big bag of those cadburys caramel bite things which I love! What the hell is wrong with him?! I am going to try and split the bags up today...

So today's menu hasn't been great. I had 2x weetabix with natural yoghurt for breakfast, mug shot, Pom bear crisps, muller light and pineapple/melon for lunch, a banana and my work friend brought in a rice crispy bun with rainbow drops in it and I had that! No idea how to syn it. Was pretty solid with chocolate...

I'm making tea tonight as OH has gone for an induction for a new job he's starting on Monday. He's gone dressed in a new shirt and suit trousers and looks very handsome

 

[Felix]

Ok I'm playing the OH at his own game and having a go at the Mexican rice. I really hope mine comes out better than his!! Going to cook some chicken and Mediterranean veg to go with it. Not sure what to spice my chicken with!

How did it go?? What did you use to spice up x

 

[Felix]

I used a piri piri schwartz shaker thing (can't remember the name of them!!) and it was lovely. OH loved it!!!

Fab. Was yours better then? Lol. Hope you saved some for lunch tomorrow x

I am in an awful mood! Was invited to go out with all of my friends in Manchester tonight (which rarely happens) and I did this stupid thing I do where I talk myself out of doing something I want to do because I'm scared of having an anxiety attack. And now I am really regretting it. Now it's too late to go and I'm really down in the dumps. I feel bad for my OH too because he text me today saying he really wanted to go, but when I was saying about the anxiety thing he didn't tell me he wanted to go and just said its up to me. I wish he'd have told me because I would have said yes then. Arghhh I hate myself right now!!

Oh Hunni. Big hugs. Don't hate yourself, we live and learn and you will get stronger as your journey goes on. Chin up, have a nice romantic evening in with boyfriend instead x

So finally last night I had the chilli OH has been promising to make!! It had been in the slow cooker all day and it was delish. We have leftovers for today too. He bought me a heart shaped gingerbread biscuit from Asda too which was 10 syns, so that brought me up to 15 with my pom bear crisps (or 14? I can't remember how many syns they are). Then I painted my nails and we watched telly in bed!

Going to a local shopping centre today to take back a dress and shorts I bought from Primark. Then we are off up to OH's parents house in Durham as his niece is having a birthday party tomorrow. I've just persuaded OH to make me a SW fry up

 

[Felix]

Oh Jesus Christ I'm having one of those bad hair, bad skin, bad makeup and none of my clothes look nice/fit kind of days!! Awful!!! It's days like these where CD is calling my name.... If only I could stick to it..

NOOOO CD! NO WAY! You're doing fab and do not need cd! X

 

[Felix]

I know I'm just having a stupid moment! I think it's because it's gloriously sunny outside and I can see spring approaching. I dread the warm weather every year because I'm always so mahoosive I have a cover up. And I just ate my SW fry up and feel bloated haha
