Sarah's Slimming World Diary!

Well I put on 1lb. Am really disappointed as I have been perfect the last 4 days... But was awful the three days before that - actually probably 4/5 so can't expect a loss!

I just feel like I've been on track and so to have a gain after being on track is hard. But was bound to happen.

Friends want me to go out tonight. I've said no but I know they are gonna go on and on at me. Will stick to my guns though.

Not sure what to have for dinner. Will have something healthy but possibly not in keeping with a green day. I've already even my HExA and hexbs!

Have a chocolate bar for later and that is so much better than what I would usually have!
 
So my usual plan is to go home after weigh in as eat whatever I like. Luckily with a 7:30 weigh in, that gives me only a few hours. When I was being weighed at 1pm then that was pretty much a whole day!

Last night I made the decision to do that no more. I have major issues with binging - I'm fine with my main meals and I exercise enough. Main meals are healthy and a normal portion size. However I can binge my way through at least 2/3000 calories a time I reckon and that is clearly why I put my weight on.

I don't think it's something ill ever not do... Well I hope I can stop but I know it'll be a gradual thing!

So, last night I bought a Boost chocolate bar - it's 14.5 syns so something I wouldn't usually have but do love! My friends were drinking and I managed to say no to the million glasses f wine offered and managed to say no to going out.

I had a small handful of their peanuts, and a small handful of crisps and 3 squares of fruit and nut.

For dinner I didn't fancy pasta and was on a green day. So I had a banana and peanut butter sandwich which was about 9.5 syns.

So I worked my syns for the day (including throughout the day) as roughly 40.

I'm now going to count that into my week and really try my damn hardest to make this work!

I have the Summer Ball on Saturday night so that is the only hurdle for me this week. I'm meeting friends there but going with Dave and he doesn't drink massively. So I think ill have one or two southern comforts before I go (fairly low syns) and then just Diet Coke when there. We will see though!

If I was going with a big group it would be different and I would get drunk, but seems silly and strange to get drunk if dave isn't!

There is lots of fair rides and bands playing there so I think I just might make the most of walking around campus lots and dancing to the bands to burn calories!

Only other issue with the weekend is that I tend to go slightly off plan when dave is here as I find that I feel bad him having my slimming world food! Also we generally go out to eat at least once. As we are saving for our flat, I've suggested I just cook and no meals out which he is fine with.

So today I'm going to plan for three dinners and four lunches! He likes meat so I'm thinking all red days (and they have good losses!). In place where he will have rice or pasta, ill have an alternative.

Possibly...

Mains - cheese filled burgers, chicken (quorn for me!) and mushroom risotto, chicken stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon.

Lunches - mainly sandwiches, or jacket potatoes or leftovers from dinner I expect.

We are going to try to swim once or twice for our training so that will be great body magic. And we are going to try to go out for a nice walk somewhere which will help too!


I'm off work today - my last day off work to myself before dave comes and I start full time on Wednesday! I'm going to try to do a workout - maybe kettlebells or maybe just a mixture or things.

Then I've just got bits and pieces to do and will hopefully not crack with the food!
 
Was having a red day today but changed I a green as I have no meat... Hah! Need dave to take me shopping to aldi.

So today is...

B: toast (hexb1) with spread (1) and boiled eggs and strawberries
L: pasta cooked in veg stock, butternut squash and sweet potato and onion and Philly light (hexa1)
D: same as lunch! So another HExA.

Have done 30 mins kettlebells and am aching so much!

Bought some hifis last night - the chocolate orange ones as they were bogof. Like alpens as I can have two, but these look nice too- can only have one.

So have tht for some point and also have some Reeses pieces too!
 
Breakfast and lunch

She is way too thin... Would have that than how I a now though!

Nope said no to the Chinese! Had my pasta, a yoghurt for pudding and my Reeses pieces!

We ended up watching Blood Diamond and Children of Men. Loved BD - have seen it before. Though COM was weird though!

They had two big Galaxy bars between them as well as their Chinese so I just enjoyed my pasta and Reeses pieces!

One of the girls is the one I have mentioned before. She is bigger than me. I generally eat healthily and exercise - always have. My issue is my binging. She eats so unhealthily - just all the time, which I find frustrating! I shouldn't judge as clearly we are in similar positions! And me binging in private is no better than her eatin badly in public.

But... She said she was going to start SW with me a few weeks ago. I gave her my books and she has had maybe 3 proper days in 3 weeks. Yet she is saying its not working for her! So annoying! I see her having alcohol, Chinese, huge chocolate bars etc and then saying it doesn't work. So annoying as it clearly does with some willpower!

She has said she wants to come swimming with me which is great for me as I need a lift! However, she thinks she can swim at my current level which will be impossible. She literally drives everywhere - even to the shop which is less than 5 mins walk away. As in she will NEVER walk there. So how she thinks she can swim for 50 mins non stop is crazy! So I expect she will stop as she will be bored waiting for me - oh well, as long as I'm doing it. It's just frustrating to have her put SW down to so many people when she isn't actually following it!

Anyway... Rant over! Off to bed! Have a lovely weekend everyone xx
 
I know what u mean Hun. My nan is massively overweight, has been as long as I can remember and she really suffers with her back, and we all know if she lost some weight shed have less pain with it, but I know she doesn't follow properly.
When I was on ww before I got married, I had 29 points a day because as you get smaller you have less points. WWhen I started at about 13st, I was on 30 points. My nan is maybe a size 24 and shorter than me, but insisted that she was on 29 points too! Silly woman!
She came round for dinner last week, and said she was thinking of going back on sw. I made chilli and rice, and after we'd eaten I told her everything I'd cooked bar the garlic bread, was free on sw, she was in shock. She clearly can't have been sticking to it before, she has no idea!
Sorry for my moan!!!
You have been doing great resisting joining in, would be so easy, and at least you know your weaknesses, and your working on them Hun :) that's what this is about. Xxx
 
Haha she sounds like an older version of my housemate!

I've planned out my meals til Tuesday so there should be no reason for me to struggle. Dave is really supportive so wont tempt me with anything!

I've had my yummy breakfast, just yoghurt and fruit. Going to chill out til dave gets here at lunch. Lunch will be a ham roll with salad and then we will pop to aldi. Going to cook chicken wrapped in bacon and stuffed with Philly - with lots of veg. Then off to the ball!

Am planning on two Southern Comforts at home and maybe a couple of vodkas when I'm out.

I know SW doesn't give you extras for exercise but at least I know that I'm doing a lot f swimming this weekend to counteract the drink.

Hopefully be lots of dancing and wandering around. Really looking forward to getting dresses up!
 
Don't let your friend's situation annoy or frustrate you. You've given her advice and your SW books, what she does now is up to her. At the end of the day yes she's your friend and you care about her but really it makes no difference to you so just focus on yourself and maybe that'll inspire her along the way.
 
Hello!

Had a really nice weekend and dave left a couple of hours ago. Not been on track really - I did try but i just find it tricky. Will be different when we live together. But when he comes to visit I feel stressed with cooking and don't know what to make! Pretty much was extra easy I suppose - not perfect though.

Drank a fair bit on Saturday night at the ball - but had such a great time! Ill add a photo but will probably delete it tomorrow as don't like this diary havin my photo on!

I felt good in my dress! Danced a bit, watched Katy B and You Me At Six. Watched my friend sing and also watched Cassette Boy who were awesome! I've seen their Youtube stuff but didnt realise they would be so good live.

We went swimming yesterday and I was rubbish. Only managed 54 lengths - nowhere near my 90 from last time!

Went to the cinema, went shopping, just had a generally nice time together really :)

Need to get back on track desperately. Did go shopping so have lots of fruit and am ready to go!

Thank you! I actually felt really good.

I've decided that even though I have two weeks left on my countdown at SW, I'm going to start doing it from home. All I do is weigh and go and it's pointless to spend the money. I also find a week between weigh ins is difficult. I'm going to start weighing at home, twice a week. Think it will help me stay on track.

Going to go to SW tomorrow just to get loads of hifi bars and then leave!
 
You look fab there!
 
Had a good day today foodwise. Did a green day and have eaten nice things!

B: yoghurt (1.5), blueberries, raspberries, banana
S: Alpen light (1/2 hexb1)
L: spaghetti with mushrooms, onion, Philly cheese (1/2 hexa1), salad, spring onions, beetroot and tomatoes. 3 x apricots and an Alpen light (1/2 hexb1)
D: toast (hexb2), spread (2), beans, cheese (1/2 hexa1 and hexa2). Yoghurt (1.5)

I'm probably going to have 2 x Milky Way for 10 syns! So 15 for the day and I'm feeling satisfied.
