Slim by Graduation.... Or Else :)

[Amy_Maria]

Can I just say, those burgers that you made above look amazing!!

Well done on the weight loss so far, looks like you're doing really well !

Thank you
They were great, next time I may just have one in a bread roll, because trying to get a bite was impossible

I posted on a discussion a while back about my reasons for wanting to lose the extra pounds and I thought maybe I should add this too my blog too so here it is

"I had a few reasons for wanting to lose the weight and I wrote them down the day after starting slimming world, here they are for you
Firstly when I went to Uni I was happy and a slim size 10, I had boobs and Hips and always will I get them off my mum, and generally once I get to a size 8/10 I look very slim but still curvy.
I am now in my final year and I'm a size 18 I want to graduate and look at the pictures with pride, and not have the memory tainted by my weight gain

Secondly, I want to give my OH back the girl he met, he would never complain but I know he hates how self concious and insecure I have become, I don't want to go anywhere any more because its easier to hide away in the house, I'm mardy and miserable a lot of the time cos I'm so down with my weight and I'm starting to develop trust issues, not because of him, more because I don't feel worthy of him any more. I don't want my weigh to ruin our relationship.

And Finally, my weight now makes me physically uncomfortable, my legs chaff, hot weather makes walking for long periods of time impossible, I can't take part in any exercise and I sometimes eat so much I'm physically sick."

So there you go guys, my motivation

You seem to want to lose weight becuase of the same reasons as me! Good luck and Ill keep reading!Ax

Wow well done on the fab loss! Have just read through all your diary, love the sound of your food. What wraps can you have for HEX B btw? Have a good weekend! x

 

[Amy_Maria]

Hiya guys,
I've had a really bad 2 days :/ I've been totally off plan, but I haven't eating that much so I'm hoping it wasn't too detrimental.
Going to try really hard until weigh-in and hopefully I will have at-least stayed the same

I think I may Success Express, until Thursday :/
My OH took me out yesterday and I had a few sweets (about 10 cola bottles) at the cinema and then a La Tasca without a superfree in sight, but I only had a few dishs and they are tiny so hopefully not too bad (I'm estimating about 50 syns for the day) and then today I've only had a cherry-bakewell Hi-fi and a bacon sandwich, so not much food but no superfree and obviously off plan :/

 

[Amy_Maria]

So, I finally braved it and worked out what I had Syns wise the past few days, and to say I went totally off plan I haven't done that bad, its redeemable, today I've had 11 syns so far so if I keep the rest of the days down to 6 or less I will average 15 per day, plus I may do 2 days of Success Express to boost it.
Im also trying to go to the gym every day from today until Thursday to help make up for this weekend.......

[Amy_Maria]

I'm ashamed to even tell you all how I have done today, Lets just say it was a BAD DAY!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not gonna even count how many syns I have had but it was LOADS!!!!!
I know I will have gained at weigh-in on Thursday but I have promised myself what ever I put on this week I will take of x2 next week!!!
Next week will be 100% if it kills me, and no meals out aswell!!

 

[Amy_Maria]

Hiya ladies,
Its a hour and 1/2 before weigh-in and I'm dreading it. I actually feel physically sick
I will update you when I get back, but I am so ashamed, I feel like I have let myself down so much, I have been soo weak willed this week, I dont know what happened.

Yes that's the plan, I'm off to the OH Parents today until Monday but I'm taking my Fry-Lite so I can stick to plan Ony issue is no gym at Chris' parents but we are off to a gig saturday night so that will be a oppertunity for so Body magic
And I may even do a few day's success express when I'm back to boost my loss
I would like to lose 3lb next week to make up for my STS this week. :cross:

 

[Amy_Maria]

Well I just saw this on someone's signature and I decided to give it a try...... it really did motivate me for next week. LOL!!!!

IF YOUR EVER FEELING SHORT OF MOTIVATION, TAKE OFF ALL YOUR CLOTHES AND JUMP UP AND DOWN IN A FULL LENGTH MIRROR. IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE THEN GREAT, IF NOT YOU BETTER GET ON WITH IT!!
