hi Hillie
hows your week going? how are you finding SW? xx
Hi !
My weigh-ins are on a Wednesday, so most of the week since then has been going pretty smoothly. I did have a bottle of red wine when I got home after weigh-in which was very naughty <slap slap>. I've been good with food since then, apart from Saturday. I was doing so well, completely on track, nice and full having eating everything I should and congratulating myself on stopping at 3 glasses of wine (rather than polish off the whole bottle) and had just finished tucking into some Melon whilst watching Eurovision Song Contest. Cor what a GOOD girl I am......I then went into the kitchen to make coffee and a packet of dark-chocolate digestive biscuits completely attacked me. Got me by the throat, forced my mouth open and defied all my defences!
I didn't see that packet coming!
Before I knew it I was acting like a devil woman, cramming them into my mouth. Where the hell did THAT come from! I was crazed! I couldn't stop.
However, for the first time in my life, I thought "you silly twat Hillie, get those syns counted and stop being hard on yourself....what does a few biscuits and wine matter".
45 blimin' syns, THAT's what mattered LOL!!
BUT, as I was saying this is the first time in my life that I just got back on track the next day and I've been good ever since. So Slimming World is marvellous for me.....I don't feel guilty at all. Mind you, I might not have lost any pounds this week, but I'm trying to look upon this new lifestyle as follows.....
Before I would physc myself up to "start a diet on Monday" and at the first hurdle I would tell myself off, but keep eating more of the things I knew were bad (oh well, I've blown it now) and say to myself that I'd start again next Monday.
Slimming World has made me realise that if I used to be "bad" 7 days a week, 30 days a month it will have consequences on the scales. Now my mindset is.....if I fall off the track once, twice or several times but keep on track the other times then even if I don't lose weight then I being "good" more often than "bad".
I'm now in week 5 since joining and I do look at food which my OH and little boy are eating and think..."oh a little bit won't hurt" but then I DO ask myself whether it's worth a few minutes of pleasure, only to be disappointed with myself in the long run.
There..........I bet you wished you hadn't asked now LOL!!!
That's why I'm glad to have joined this thread.......everyone is being really honest!
