Kingleds Food Diary - help needed!

Having a hungry day :( Not good.

Had my bagel for brekkie, then went into london, got myself some fruit to keep me going till lunch. Then got my salmon salad at m&s and some more fruit as i was starving.
Now home, via Asda (where I avoided anything bad or naughty). Just had 2 crumpets & some philly light (6pp in total) and I'm still hungry.

Any ideas? (except more fruit!)
 
Roast some veggie chips, I use mostly carrots but love Celeriac too. I've been doing that this week.

Thats a great shout. If to find some veg to roast.

I 'may' have had a ww belgian choc brownie (2pp) whilst waiting for suggestions.... Does the rule about food eaten in the dark not counting work on WW as well as SW ? Thank god for weekly points is all I'm saying
 
I found I was really hungry at first but it has got better as my appetite has decreased. I find making a free soup helps,the bns one is yummy and really thick and filling and doesn't need anything with it(though is very nice with a bagel;))
Also just check your points on your crumpets as some things don't just double and I think they may be 5 points for 2. Its to do with the way points are rounded up/down as theres no half points.
 
You're right on the crumpet. I toasted 2 and put 1pp of philly on them, then thought I'd add it into my points tracker & it came up as 5 of the 2 of them, so I had counted 6pp in total, with the philly. That no half point thing is deceptive. The other day I put in 1 sainsburys bgty bacon rasher, and it was 1pp. then I changed it to 2 rashers, it was 1 pp. FREE BACON!!!!!!!

Soups is a good idea as well. Have gone off it a bit recently, but need to get back into it I think.

The bns one is lovely!
Just spotted you posted on another thread that you aren't convinced by ww ;) whats up?

Its a bit like all those ppl who ask how they can eat all that food on sw & loose! I've eaten more bread product this week than in the last 6 months & i just don't get how it can work. I weigh in tomorrow morning & hope i am wrong cos i really love bagels!
 
Right. Horrific night points wise last night. Ended up with chinese after the gym. Now have 7 weeklies left & my 6 AP points on top of my dailies till it resets on Sunday.

I am very badly planned for today as well, which is not a great start.

On the plus side I have friday feeling and am being happy smily Sarah at work (the boys are getting abit freaked out by it tbh). I reckon its all the MSG in the chinese last night.

Breakfast - 7 pp
Bagel (6pp) and Philly light (1pp). Bowl of fruit

Lunch - ?
I'm going to get a M&S salad I think - the one I had yesterday was 6pp, and with some fruit was enough really.

Dinner
I will get a ready meal from m&s I thinkand have with some more salad.

After last nights overindulgence I feel I need to eat no junk food at all.
 
Hi kingleds

How are you doing on ww. I'm still fine with sw and just had baked potato and baked beans for a late lunch. I've been looking at my ww cookbooks and the recipes are not that different to sw so I'll be cooking a mix of both from now on.

How much have you lost with ww so far?

Xx

I've only been doing it a week, so my 1st weigh in is tomorrow. I don't have the 1st clue how I've done. I like being able to eat bagels, but I hate having to weigh EVERYTHING. I expect I can get used to it though.

Will see how I go at WI tomorrow and then will make a decision. In general I have found it easy to follow and as you say, the meals are quite similar. I pointed up all the meals I had normally on SW and they were all pretty low, even with a portion of pasta or rice added. The added bonus is that certain meals I love (like chicken & bacon pasta with pesto sauce), are completely doable on WW, whereas on SW pesto, and chorizo, and tortilla wraps are so high its not worth using your syns on them.
 
It seems longer than a week :). Good luck for tomorrow xx
 
WARNING SELF INDULGENT WHINGE AHOY

I gained 5lbs. I have basically spent most of my SW group this morning crying like a small child. I am over my bagel fascination now, and i am coming home. I never want to feel this bad about my weight loss again.

Now for the self indulgent whinge

It's entirely unfair that I cannot get my head straight with this poxy weight loss thing. I am a relatively well adjusted person I think, despite the best efforts of my mother to royally screw me up. Yet for some reason I am completely unable to look in the mirror & see myself as other people see me. When I am told by people I look really well, I think they are just being nice. I see photos of myself and don't recognise me in them, because in my head am a fat person. I hate being like this. I still go to the plus size section in the shops even though i don't need to be there. The other day I ordered a suit from next & got it delivered to the store so I could try it on before taking it home. This makes sense to most people I imagine, except the reason I did it was because I was bullied by my friend into ordering it in a size idid not for one second think would fit me, so I didn't't want it in the house as a constant reminder of what I couldn't wear. Guess what? It fit me, then I start wanting to eat bagels in a quite clear (and ultimately successful) attempt at self sabotage, think WW is the way, and here we are.

You have just described me to a T!!!! I have more or less sabotaged my week and I don't know why!! I have gone from almost 16st to 12st and am extremely happy with that loss but need to shift this last 2st and for some reason I keep messing it up, have been loosing and gaining the same 3lbs from Sept and I seriously need a kick up the backside!!

Why do we do this to ourselves!!!
 
Oh hunny, huge hugs.

This losing weight malarkey is the single hardest thing I have ever ever ever done. It's just not plain sailing :(

Am so sorry WW hasn't worked for you - I feel partly to blame!

I honestly don't know what to say to you, you know I too am having a hard time, and I don't have an answer for you.

One thing that I do see a lot of people around the site saying is that your brain does take quite some time to adjust to your new body. Makes sense really. Likely you were your larger size for maybe 10+ years, and how long have you been the size you are now? 6, 12 months?! Am sure with time your head will catch up. Maybe a big shopping spree?? Or even one of those boudoir photo shoots could help!?

Again hun hugs for you xxx

You're back! :) Whinge away and indulge yourself all you like! (But not in bagels ;) )

Agghhh sorry to hear your woes :( Im doing it to myself right now too, Im having a cheese & wine fest tonight and you know what, I dont even really fancy it? But now Ive got all this cheese and bread and oil and (supposed) yumminess in Im b*ggered if Im not having it. Even though I really am not in the mood and know its a ludicrous idea. So Ive written this week off basically. :(

It doesn't matter Sarah, look how far you've come! You dont even recognise yourself! The differenec in those pics you showed is amazing!

What weight do you want to be? And more importantly - why?

Anyway, its great to see you back. PS The 5lb will be mostly water, itll be gone in no time x :)
