Hexb: crunchy bran, w/m bread

Change of scenery for photos today as have been at work.

Lunch: super speed soup with w/m bread

followed by activia 0% yogurt

Dinner: 3 x quorn sausages (3 syns) mini jacket potatoes, green beans, carrots and cauliflower. activia 0% snackpot - forgot to take a photo before I ate it. Don't think I'll buy quorn sausages anymore as they really aren't worth spending syns on - I would much rather have the morrisons eat smart sausages as they are only 0.5 syns each & tastier.

[Quins]

18.5 syns for cake, ouch! My weakness is savoury stuff. Onion bhajis and spicy , curried stuff. That will send my syns sky high.

 

[suzyflo]

Yes the cake was pretty bad wasn't it, it was nice, but if i'm honest, I would rather have had 3 packets of crisps for 15 syns....I LOVE crisps, I like ready salted best, Walkers were my favourites but I now prefer Morrisons value crisps and they are only 30 odd pence for 6 packets

Well done on your rationing of syns this week - you've done really well to stay within 105! I had a naughty weekend which involved a bottle of wine and chip shop saveloy and chips, whoops! I thought I'd try the rationing too but with 2 days prior, where I'd already used most of my syns ration for those days, it was too late to claw it back! I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for a STS at WI on weds.

Good luck with your WI!

 

[suzyflo]

I've STS again this week, probably something to do with that massive strop I had last Monday night (and into Tuesday) when I kept eating and drinking just for the sake of it!!

Green day

Hexa: milk
Hexb: scan bran

Breakfast: mushed up scan bran with mixed summer berries and natural f/f yogurt

Lunch: pub lunch, Weatherspoons five bean chilli with yellow rice and tortilla chips (6 syns)****UPDATE*** now have pic.

Dinner: super speed soup with added mushrooms, chilli, quorn chunks and rice, muller light.

Dinner was rather similar to lunch I know, but already had the dinner planned and the pub lunch was an unexpected extra and it seemed like a good choice for only 6 syns.

Total Syns = 15

Was that a large whiskey?

I honestly think your slow weightloss is simply because you have so little left to lose. There's no way its going to fall off you like it did when you were carrying the extra weight. And I bet those people whose diaries you look at have a long way still to go.

Try not to get too hung up on the scales as you're going to drive yourself crazy! Instead look in the mirror and congratulate yourself on your new slimmer figure. You should be really proud of yourself! Xx

It was a large whisky Quins, 35ml, I don't do small...there's no point!

Thank you, that's made me feel better, you're right, really I'm perfectly fine as I am, I just want that bit more to get back where I was before, it's annoying that I've been there but let it slip which is something that I vowed would never happen again. I will get there again
