Ok well, this is what happened. we were invited round to a friends house for tea, and I told her that I was doing SW, so she asked me if I could eat shepherds pie, and I told her as long as there was no butter in the mash, or cheese on the top. So, thats exactly what I got when we arrived, but there was the garlic bread and I was weak and had a slice. But I made sure I had only the one slice. Whereas before I would have eaten half the baguette myself. And for dessert (which I wouldnt normally eat) there were the little mini things from Iceland, and once again I was weak. But I had only one of each and I went into her kitchen and took the boxes out of the bin, wrote down all the nutritional info and synned them correctly when I got home, so those syns are accurate. I am guessing 5 syns for one slice of garlic bread however. It was just a regular baguette with one slice taken from it.
I know I am weak and should have resisted the 2 little mini bites, but Im still within my syns for the day, even though I feel very disappointed with myself.... why do I beat myself up like this. :-(
Debs
Where you feel weakness, I see only strength!!
You had ONE SLICE of garlic bread, just one!! You could have had more, you certainly would have wanted to have more, but you had just one. That is a massive show of strength, not weakness.
Then when the little puds came out (and I have eaten PACKS of them in the past!!), again you had ONE. AND you made sure you could syn them afterward too. That's not just strength, but focus and devotion too.
Debs you really need to see things for the positives which they are, instead of beating yourself up.
You are planning every day very well, sticking to it, doing what exercise you can, and when faced with possible tripping hazard you are dancing all over them and coming out the other side smelling of roses.
You should be proud of yourself, your mind is already that of a healthy and fit person - you just need to wait for your body to catch on!! lol
SW is gonna be with you for a long time, but it doesn't prevent you from going anywhere or even really eating anything. It teaches you what kind of foods are good and what are bad, and what you need to limit yourself with. The old you would have had the entire baguette and all teh desserts, the new you had a healthy portion of each and you really need to see the difference in yourself as it is astounding. Be proud of yourself, because we are
And if the WI Gods aren't good to you tomorrow I'm gonna personally kill them on your behalf haha
