Thank you ladies... Just want to give up now at this stage.. What's the point in trying if its getting me nowhere?!
I've kept on, n kept on for 8 months n gotten nowhere... In fact, this time 8 months ago I was down 34lbs... Since then came Christmas and my 30th and I gained slowly back 6lbs and they won't go again..
I know I need to do exercise and I obviously will be getting more as now I have to bring Stringer out.. So no choice there.. 45 mins per day for now but that'll increase as his age does.. Maybe i'll see a difference.. Who knows!!
My proper weigh day is tomoro, and I had pasta last night so maybe tomoro the scales will be different (prob a bigger bloody gain!)
I really do feel like just packing it all in.. No fear of me going mad and binging coz I don't see the point in that.. That'll just cause me to gain everything back.. And I'm not prepared to do that.. And not being an emotional eater its not soemthing I do... (Wohoo.. A positive!)

I gained four that won't leave I know how you feel, do you know what hun I reckon your in need of a break, literally don't do the whole diet thing keep making good choices but don't log or count just for a few weeks I did this and I actually lost a couple of pounds and felt so good! I just ate healthy and then I've come back and started cal counting but low carb I'm just gettin into it after my break and I feel more positive, It's a slow process but it does give you a clear head

Its just so frustrating... There's nothing really to take a break from TBH Vicky.. Like, yea I track and log, but anything I eat, I eat because that's what I want at that time... I log it all just so I know I'm not going overboard on anything.
I think if I was to have a break I'd lose complete focus.. I mean.. When I started WW last January I decided to make a life change.. not start a diet that once I've lost some weight I'd give stop doing.. (I hope this is sounding right)
I'll never stop weighing my portions of potatoes, rice or pasta purely because I know these are things that can easily be misjudged and overeaten.. Things like chicken fillets n that I won't weigh (usually near enough the same weight anyway) and mince etc I will..

You can compare to me if you like? (Although I'm eating some extra calories lately to try to up my metabolism along with the running)
So far I've had:
750ml water (need to drink more!)
30g cornflakes with 100ml skimmed milk, 1 slice wholemeal bread toasted with WW jam.
2 eggs fried in 1tsp olive oil on 2 slices bread with golden olive spread + 1 sneaky sausage

LOL... Sneaky sausage.. I'm NEVER eating pork again.. And living in denial about how we come to get all other meats...
I watched a program last night called "Kill it, Cook it, Eat it" and it literally showed from the animal being born, to it landing on the plate! Last nights choice was pork.. GROSS!!! Had forgotten about it til I saw the word sausage... (stop laughing at me living in denial about other meats.. I know you are.. I can hear ya!!!!)

[Dubchick81]

I'm heading out for dinner tonight with my friend.. it'll be fast food... (yes even after all my whineing this morning!!!)
I wreckon we'll go to eddie rockets and I'll have chicken tenders n plain chips.. I'll just pick at the chips and eat my tenders.. Or i'll hav a tenders basket which is small enough.. rather than having TGI's or something that's STUPID points...

Sounds nice hun,have a great time :0)

 

[azwethinkweiz]

I love the tenders!! Can you share a fries with your friend?? I like the cajun dip in Eddies cuz it's pretty point friendly I had a brownie in Eddies at the weekend. I know. How bold am I!?

Eeek glad I didn't see that programme... me poor sausages!! I already live in denial about most meats...

Ha.. Elaine doesn't share food unless its an extra side order ha ha.. No I just won't eat them.. I'll be fine to do that if I have a full portion of tenders.. I know they're only chicken, but I find i'm nicely satisified with having just them.. If I get a tenders basket its 3 tenders n slightly more than half portion of plain chips.. I love the cajun sauce mixed with the garlic mayo But i'll have either the cajun or none.. I'll decide when there

I've never had a desert in Eddies.. Are they nice?

I've also never had a malt.. but they are STUPID calories... (my friend used to get them until she realised how much cals / pp's they were)

 

[Dubchick81]

I can hav a chicken fillet burger in Eddies with no ER sauce.... for 7pp!!!

thats crazy that sauce is more cals than the chicken! what sauce is it? that sounds like a good option hun! 7pp isnt alot for dinner tho? xx

 

[azwethinkweiz]

I never believed their cals for the bun? I always gave 5pp for me burger bun and then 4-5 for meat. Would Elaine eat a bowl of fries herself then lol?? My sister would only share a bowl, she'd never eat a whole one. I got the tender basket last time too - it's fairly small but you aren't a big eater by the sounds of it Mmm garlic mayo is YUM in there.

To be honest I blame Eddies milkshakes for half me weight gain. I was always having them and never realised how mental they were in calories. Over a thousand calories!!! Insane!

You're missing out... the brownie and brownie sundae is AMAZING. Mmm... *drools* They used to do a banana split and it was really nice too. You aren't a sweet tooth much though are ya? I find it really tough to not have desserts. I probs sound so greedy don't I? xx

Its ER secret sauce Its delish Its kinda like a tangy marie rose sauce (would you agree Sarah???)
Ah I'll have a side order of fries n hav half.. Or they do sweet potato fries.. Might try them.. Dont have the NV's for them tho... hmmm...
