[mod-karen79]

i either want to use loads of syns or i avoid eating any all day and end up scanning the cupboards looking for something to add up to 10-15!

i am LOVING my first week back on SW. i don't feel deprived at all and i'm not craving anything either

still have a few syns left to use and an A & B choice if i need to.

 

[Louise24]

Yay to loving your first week, my next useful tip... take each week a week at a time rather than thinking about the big goal, just set mini goals. I'm a serial giver upper and doing weekly goals has helped xxx

 

[mod-karen79]

thanks lou - i'm trying to do it slightly different this time. my first targets are half a stone off, then to the next stone, then 1 stone off.

it's a difficult time of year and there's lots of temptation starting to arise, but because i'm just starting my motivation is at an all time high. i'm just seeing what i can lose before christmas arrives.

 

[mod-karen79]

just had one of my favourite SW snacks EVER! 4 ryvita topped with low fat grated cheese and pickle! mmmmmmmmm (A, B + 2 syns)

had a bit of a wierd dinner tonight as i never made it to the supermarket and my dad made his scotch broth which i LOVE and was planning on taking to work for lunch tomorrow but for some reason he decided to empty a tin of chickpeas into it and it now smells of s**t!!! and i can't eat things if they smell of s**t

 

[Taz]

Ewwww I can see why! If it doesn't smell nice it's so off-putting

i think they're around £3.50 though don't quote me on that. i think it's expensive, but it's very fresh tasting and i would normally spend up to £7 at lunch time when not on SW, so a bargain for me!
