Tbh towards the end of me being on WW I found I just used MyFitnessPal instead of counting points..seems so much easier! Like being able to calculate exercise calories too easily! Well good luck honey and link me with your calorie counting diary if you set one up! Xxxx

Exercise: Went for an hours run with my boyfriend, and played on the wii for an hour too!
Thoughts: Been to the cinema tonight and for the first time probably ever I didn't have any popcorn! Instead I took my own snacks, a clue of cereal bars and a ripple. Saved sooo many syns and still enjoyed myself! Will do this more often as cinema snacks are so bloody expensive anyway but just my ticket only cost me six quid. Happy days.

Thoughts: been out for a three course lunch for mothers day today.. So happy with the choices I made, managing to stick to plan! The starters were soup, pâté, garlic mushrooms or melon, that wasn't much of a difficult choice as I like melon. The mains were beef, pork, sea bass or veg tart, again that wasn't too hard as I enjoy beef. But my god the puddings! There was crumble, white chocolate cheesecake (possibly my most favourite dessert in the whole entire world) and fruit salad topped with creme fraiche and almonds. Luckily, we had to preorder so I stuck to the fruit salad but without the extra bits. Feel happy that I managed to stay in control but still had some yummy food. Feel like I am finally turning a corner.

Yeah I feel more free for some reason .. Maybe its coz ive stuck to a diet plan for the last year .. So now im going it alone, hehe xxx

 

[graciebabes]

I think it is very liberating to count calories, does that sound silly haha?! I know what you mean, when I have off days of slimming world I try to calorie count nonetheless, find if I can at least keep within my calories then I don't feel so bad! Xxxx PS have added you!
