Hehe haven't even met him yet! My boyfriend took loads of photos and this was a snap shot from a video he took where he comes towards the camera. We've told ourselves he's saying "HIII"!

Could really do with some advice guys I've gone completely off the wagon again. Every week recently, Weds, Thursday and Friday are angelic and then Sat and Sun f**k me over. Even when I get back on plan on the Monday, the damage at the weekend has already been done. A gain is predicted tonight, I expect nothing less.
I've come down to the conclusion its the summer curse. I've done other diets like Rosemary Conley in the past and this is my third time doing SW. Everytime without fail, I lose half-1 stone and then give up round about this time. I tend to go to 2 music festivals a year and its my birthday in a couple of weeks. So I go to the festival, gain, then think ah well, not much point with my birthday coming up as well and it spirals from there and I never go back.
This is the longest and most I've ever lost with a diet plan. I really don't want to quit this time and I can't (I've bought a 12 week countdown) but its really getting to me. I was supposed to be at target by now, nowhere near. I've gained back nearly half a stone of what I lost. I have moving the house, celebrating my birthday (a meal, cocktails and a housewarming party the day after) then straight to Germany for a festival. I planned to eat how I wish and I still want to, but it feels like I'll be wasting time and Monday going to group just to be told I'm going backward. I don't know what to do. Advise please

Just because you have festivals and birthday doesn't mean you can't be on plan the rest of the time. That's only 2 weekends and then one day for your birthday! It's silly to throw in the towel and be off plan all the rest of the time. The rest of the time is a lot bigger than the time you'll spend at the festivals and being out for your birthday.
Youve given up so many times before so make this the last time, because there's only you that an do it x

It's amazing how much in Sync we are. This too is the longest I've stuck at a diet, and have lost more than I have ever lost in the past. I agree that summer has a lot to answer for - there are so many social occasions, etc. it can be really tough. You know I've struggled in the last month or so two - I ended up re-gaining 8.5lb of what I'd lost, and I'm still struggling to get that back off, but you encouraged me not to give up. I've had my sulk, moaned and twisted on about it, thought about giving up, and then thought to myself - why? Why give up? Where will that get me? I know exactly where - back to being 15st, or worse - even heavier!! And you know what? I think somewhere deep in the back of your mind, you realise the same thing. That's why you went to group last night and faced the scales, even though you felt like packing in and even though you expected that gain. You're still here, and that says a lot for itself. We're all behind you on this, and will support whatever decision you decide to make, but I really think you need to weigh up the pros and cons of quitting. Ask yourself why you started this in the first place? Where will you be if you quit? Where could you be if you stick at it? Just a little food for thought. I know what you're going through xxx

Thanks Rochelle, this is pretty much what my consultant said last night. Its true a birthday is one day, not a whole week. And ok the festival is going to be hard but you know deep down a chicken baguette is going to be better than burgers AND chips. I think I seriously need to take one day at a time and realise how easy it can be. You being on plan every day without fail shows this. xx

I worked out last night that I've regained 6lb overall. Thank you for taking the time to write this. I won't quit but I must just take the punches when I do have fun if that makes sense. I have this week to claw back some control and then like Rochelle said, the birthday is a day or two, the festival is not the whole weekend. I know it wont be worth quitting at all and it will mean the last two weeks have been a waste of time and money. At least when I have a big gain, for the most part I get a big loss after. I think I need to realise there isn't just two extremes. I shouldn't need to claw things back in the first place. I need to remember that although I may not see the differences, I look different to last summer, so I may not be at target but I'm a lot better than I was.
Thank you for your support. Keep going and lets give each other that little metaphorical slap when we sulk

Right, as I have pondered and read responses and spoke to people, I have a plan. The plan is to not overplan. I need to learn a happy medium. I can't just keep doing red days and restricting myself just so I can binge at the weekend. I didn't make a weekly target weight loss at group but an action: Back to Basics. Back to obvious, simple foods on Extra Easy that are filling. Doing so many red days has made me see carbs as a bit of an enemy and it really shouldn't be that way. One day at a time. If a social event comes up this weekend, I need to think about it. would I rather go and spend money and syns when I could claw back some of the gain and look better on my birthday next week? Yes. So lets see how this goes.

Went for my old tradition of 30 mins walk down the canal at lunch. These are little things that have slowly disappeared with my motivation. It was much slower than it used to be due to my ankle but better than nothing

this is spot on. If you give up then that'll get you nowhere x
well I'm not, I have my days off now and again and if I have a social occasion I just enjoy it, but what I do is pull myself back on plan the next day because that's my normal eating now, and a day of eating really unhealthily doesn't mean I've ruined everything, I've just had a really bad food day like a normal person! Like last week when I had my after weigh in treat. My cousin ended up buying us a cupcake each and I bloody ate it. Lol I just get straight back on plan and pull things back. X

Well I'm in the zone today. Kept to the food diary as above and I've done so much prep this eve! My overnight oats are ready for the morning. I've made a huge batch of veggie pasta which ill take for lunch and can have over the weekend. And I've.made a big batch of mushy pea curry so that's dinner sorted. Surely tomorrow can't fail? Lol
