temptation is a nightmare lol but i think you did really well to stop at 30 syns as ive seen myself eating a lot more than that and finding it hard to be able to pull it back but its very acheivable for you to still have a loss this week 39 syns is just 2 days syns out of a whole week, youve had a great day today and well on track to pulling back your 30 syns you CAN do it

 

[Jane R]

Thanks Jane, can't say that today has been brilliant. We went to Herefordshire Food Festival today and saw the Hairy Bikers cooking. It was lovely but found it very hard to resist the free food samples. I made it past the food but did try some of the alchoholic samples, although they were very small amounts. I had a healthy lunch but have gone off the rails a bit since I got home. Anyway here is my diary for today.

B - weetabix 2 + pear and mullerlight

L - Baked potato and baked beans

S - Velvet crunch X 2, Apple

Planned D - Brown rice+peas and SW Chicken curry
Mullerlight and peach

Sula vanilla mints 4 = 1syn
Vodka+ diet coke= 6syns
Velvet crunchx2= 8syns
+ samples at food festival ? 4 syns
I think that it might be better if I stop buying velvet crunch!
Well I don't deserve to lose anything this week. I have another day at home tomorrow and I hope that I can get my self control back again.

 

[EmmyLou30]

Not sure I want to go getting hooked on a new naughty food but what is velvet crunch?

My thing at the moment seems to be those chocolate kellogs fibre bars. There's not enough healthy B's in the day to stretch to how many of them I want to eat

 

[Jane R]

Hi Emmylou, thanks for popping in. Velvet crunch are a bit like quavers but crunchier. They come in 2 flavors, sweet chilli and Cheddar cheese and spring onion, the latter being my absolute favorite They are made out of tapioca flour and cassava. I have to confess that this is the first time I have looked at the ingredients and have no idea what cassava is other than the fact that it is a plant produced in Brazil and is low carbohydrate. Anyway I have seen them in many of the main supermarkets and Aldi sell their own version called Satin Crunch and they taste even better. I have to also admit to munching my way through a packet while writing this! I can't be trusted.
Well for todays diary

B - Weetabix 2+ mullerlight and pear

S - apple, mandarin

L - Baked potato, tinned tuna, onion, beetroot, Tomatoes and Hellmans extra light (1/2 syn)
Mullerlight yoghurt

Disastrous afternoon! 2xAlpen lights(6syns) and Velvet crunch(4syns)
4 sula vanilla mints(1 syn)

Planned D - Quorn sausages, carrots and cauliflower

Think I had better draw a line under the last week. New week tomorrow as it is weigh-in day.

 

[EmmyLou30]

Might have to give them a go....I'll just buy one packet to start though incase I get hooked My weighing scales addiction is enough to be getting on with!

 

[Jane R]

Probably the best move Emmylou! I don't know why I continue to buy them as they are the first thing I go for when I have an attack of the munchies, well that and the Alpen lights! I need a dose of motivation at the moment. X
