I am really embarrassed to say I have gained 11 1/2lb, that is absolutely disgusting and I'm so ashamed of myself, I know I've had 4 weeks off plan and eaten so much naughty stuff but I was expecting possibly 8lb, what I've gained is almost 3lb a week.. Glutenous.

The good thing is I went to group rather than give up, I got weighed and was mortified but still stayed to group rather than sneak off home, at the rate I've been losing lately its going to take 6 months to lose that!

I've been awake since 4am not for work but because I think the anaesetic has worn off and I'm in so much pain, still got a few more days Leave left so should be making the most of lying in until 7ish (even when I'm tired I struggle to sleep past then).

We've got the boys coming over tonight and they wanted a drinking session with their step mum, also we were having take away but not now, I'm cooking fajitas, the wraps are 5 syns as they're WW ones so can have one or possibly 2 and no alcohol for me, this girl is back on track.

What I'm trying to work out is whether I should have a strategy and try and keep my syns really low or just stick to it properly and under 15 syns? Think I might just stick to it and then possibly the week after do something like 777.

Sorry one more thing.. Why do I find it so impossible to get back on track after being off plan? I'd been back a week and had all good intentions but it didn't happen, it's like I HAVE to see what the scales say otherwise I can't do it!

Well has anyone made it to the end of my epic post?! X
 
Well done for staying to group hun x I don't know if I would have so that means you mean business!!!

Don't stress about how much it was as its done now. Just make plans. Plan your meals and your syns. You've already made a fab choice in tonight's meal. Not drinking will help too and drink water - a lot of water.

777 might be a good idea but not yet - in fact a few role at my group gained or STS after a 777 week! Personally I think it's the having less syns that doesn't help.

Perhaps have some red and green days?

Anyway the main thing is you are SO back on plan!! :) And so keep posting in here and your next WI will be so much better x Promise :bighug:

Morning
Not too bad huni remember I said I put 10lb on in 2 weeks in turkey oops.....
Right what is done is done no point worrying over it now :)
I would pretend it's your first ever time at sw so do what all newbies do and stick to it to the letter all hex's all syns and lots of superfree
It's all gone on quickly it will all be off quickly too
Proud of you Helen staying to group and getting yourself back on track
Come on here as much as possible write your food down and we all here to support you
Come on Helen you can do this !!!!! 100% all the way :) :) keep smiling xx
 
Blimin ell you two you've made me cry! What you've put down really makes sense and I'm pleased I stayed to group too, I suppose it was a big thing as was so tempted to walk out, to be honest if I'd driven I probably would have done lol.

I won't try 777 as I definitely think having less syns isn't always good and some days I have maximum and some minimum as that's just the way it goes depending on what meals I'm cooking.

R I forgot you said you'd put on 10lb in Turkey as well, to be honest if I hadn't been off plan the week before and after the holiday I don't think I would have gained that much.

Next time I go away can come one remind me about this?! Might encourage me to not be so bad! X
 
With my nine and your 11 we really need to get back on track... I will be checking in on you and you must me... Weekend approaches, and we know its hard but I promise to give it my full attention if you do...xx

Yep definitely, we can do it, I intend to be 100% every day this week x
 
Helen :bighug: getting back on plan is always the hardest bit, our bodies very quickly get used to eating carp :( but you can and you will do it. Some of that huni will be food bloat. IF you stick to plan this week you will likely lose a good chunk of it. Up your water intake and flush it through :bighug:

It will be gone and you will be back to where you were in no time. :)xxxxx
 
Lovely Helen
Can I just say please don't be embarrassed or ashamed of yourself
You might have had 4weeks off plan
But the thing is you have returned to face the music and just think this
Time next week you will have made a substantial dent in that gain :D
Happy Friday Hun
 
Hey girls you really do inspire me, thanks for the kind words.

I am back on track and enjoying it, Mark went to Tesco and bought a tiger baguette and it smells divine but I'm not even tempted.

I thought I'd look through some old photos to try and inspire me, I think you can tell there is a little difference but not as much as I'd have hoped after losing 3 stone (well less than that now lol), but enough to make me know it's worth carrying on.

The first photo was before I joined SW at 17st 9lb, I lost a stone with SW for our wedding and then promptly put 10lb on on honeymoon and didn't go back to group, a year later, almost the same weight I started at (17st 6 1/2lb), I rejoined and have been here ever since, the second photo was taken last week at 14st 6lb (in fact this was the end of the holiday so would have been more than that!)

Total and utter difference between the two photo's there Helen
You have far more shape in the second one huni x
 
Definately different you have done so well the only thing that hasn't changed is your fab smile :) well done saying no to tiger bread mmmm no it's horrible and wholemeal is much better lol xx
 
Thanks everyone, I did look again and I have less chins now and my boobs aren't reaching my chin either!

Who needs tiger bread when you can have this gorgeous lunch, and on a small plate so I don't overeat and I fill comfortably full now x

I had a 100% day yesterday and I'm so proud of myself because things were put in my way and I abstained.

We had the boys over and they haven't stayed for a while because they usually go out with their mates at weekends, but they thought they'd get their step mum drunk! Well I didn't give in, I stuck to soft drinks, I ended up pretending I couldn't drink because of the medicine I'm on otherwise they wouldn't have taken no for an answer.. I did end up mixing cocktails for them and still didn't have any!

During dinner I didn't have any guacamole as felt like having two fajitas and didn't want to go over syns, for dessert they all had meringue nest and clotted cream, I had just strawberries and then in the evening they had chocolate biscuits and I didn't have any.

The devil on my shoulder kept saying "oh go on, one night won't hurt" but the angel kept saying "oh yes it will", so even though it was really hard I managed day one back on plan yippee x
