Had a lovely time last night, tapas was gorgeous, couldn't keep to syns but didn't feel overly stuffed afterwards.
No idea how weigh in will go, had a mixture of EE, Green & Original this week, kept syns fairly low at beginning of week then had two meals out but stuck to plan during the days.. Only another 12 hours to find out! X

I wasn't in a good place last night, was pretty annoyed with myself for STS, I know I had two meals out but I had stuck to plan throughout the days before going out, all week kept my syns fairly low and had mixed plans about and tried Red & Green, upped my Speed and Superspeed foods and had exercised more. I suppose a year ago if I went out I'd still get a loss but just can't do it anymore.
I tried to have a think about what I want, yes I do want to lose weight but I am also a sociable person and love going out which I haven't done as much in the last year but as I said before my New Year resolution was to see more of people, I wasn't really an unhappy "fat" person, still went out, still had a good time, was the life and soul of the party and my husband married me when I was at my largest, so it got me thinking, surely a STS on the scales if you are enjoying yourselves is a good thing? Is being slim the be all and end all? I wanted to lose weight for my health, and I still do but surely if it takes me longer and I still have a life that's okay isn't it?
I really don't know, am I just saying the above or do I mean it? I love losing weight and the feeling it brings, I love the compliments as well.
So this brings me on to tonight... I'm going out with some boys from work, clubbing in London, it's been organised since before Christmas and I have been really looking forward to it however now I don't want to go because I want to lose weight next week! I can't blow them out though, when my back was really bad before Christmas I blew them out then so am definitely going but we are meeting at 5pm tonight and won't be home until goodness knows when in the morning. One of my feelings is have the night completely off plan and not worry about it (the last few meals I've had out I constantly was thinking syns syns syns), not count my syns and not even think about SW and just have a good time and get back on it tomorrow, we're not eating out so it will just be alcohol or do I try and limit the amount that I have but realistically I don't think that will happen.
Sorry this is a long post but I wasn't even going to come on here, I was just going to go into denial and eat what I want today but thought I've made that mistake before so I am coming on here to get my thoughts down.

Hi Helen
Get yourself out !!!
Lifes too short one night won't make much difference in the overall scheme of things and like you say it's about getting the balance right, being healthy, but I think overall it's about being happy, so go out and have a blast, be steady maybe a few diet cokes in there, but just enjoy the moment and be good all week it will be fine. I'm out tommorrow nite too so we can go off plan together ha ha going to a friends house and it's a back to skool theme nite got to dress up :-0 ha ha xx

Reading Jackie's post got me thinking, I might have been the life and soul of the party at lots of things but I think that was me being overly confident as I wasn't at all so pretended I was to get laughs.. It's better being the happy big girl than the miserable one I thought, and as for pushing people away I did this, to a lot of people, one of the main reasons was because of my IBS, as didn't want to stay at peoples houses and also whilst out would spend most of the night on the toilet, the friends that mean something to me are still there now I'm trying to see more of people again.
The saying is that friends come into your life for a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime and it is so true.

One day at a time, one step at a time
Helen huni, life is for living. My Dad dying very suddenly taught me a lot of things. He was just 60 hadn't even retired :cry:
Its not a race. If you STS for 2 weeks, lost one week, STS for 2 weeks, does it really matter if you are eating healthier, feeling happy, and enjoying your life ?
We all have different reasons for wanting to lose weight and different ways of doing it.
I've spent years being a hermit partly due to depression (didn't even know I had it) , IBS a biggy and still is to a point but nowhere near as bad since losing weight and exercising and eating healthier.
Life is too short to worry and analyse every mouthful. You know you are eating better than ever, exercising more, feeling happier so get out there and live girl
