Snow?!? Noooo!! Why can't we hibernate? ;) hope you have a great weekend x
 
nice to see you posting on a saturday! lol we have snow in bishop too :( well i say we have snow, its mostly all gone now. absolutely freezing though ! went into town today and wanted to be home as soon as i got there. helping my mam with her christmas shopping she always goes a bit mad and buys loads so i was dragged round all the shops lol hope you have a good weekend! x
 
Waiting to see your post about whether you've gone out this weekend or not, I love the weekly update about how your staying in and then the great reason you have for going out in the end :)
Hope it's not too cold in the snow, burr!!!
 
Lol, I am so predictable! I did indeed go out again this weekend. And I could kick myself for it! A sneaky peek at the scales is predicting a 1lb gain :( Why oh why do I do it to myself every single week. Grrrrrr...
 
Because life is more important than SW!! and fair play to you for living it! Hope you had a great time, that 1lb will be off before weigh in tomorrow xxx

you will get that off in no time :) x
 
I'm really frustrated and embarrassed that I keep doing the same thing week in week out. I just feel like I'm stuck in this cycle and no matter how hard I try I can't break it. I'm even more worried because I can't stay to group tomorrow night either - I'm going to the Sunderland match so I'll need to weigh and go. That never usually ends well for me, I really need the support from my group. I feel like I could cry. I'm so angry with myself. I'm never going to reach my Christmas goal, I'm just getting further and further away from it :(
 
Oh hun don't be so hard on yourself. We all have to work SW round our lives and it's good you go out and enjoy yourself. Maybe you just need to develop tactics to reduce the amount of damage you do. Eg eat your tea before you go so you aren't tempted to eat synful stuff when out and change what you drink to a spirit and diet mixer or do booze and soft drink turn about. If it's the same as your mixer noone need know.

Anyway you have two days to pull it back so you'll likly be OK. :D
 
My cousin is going through the same thing as you. She keeps going out and spoiling her weeks efforts, when you know as well as she does it doesn't have to be like that!! Like the above post, diet coke and vodka is good and you could do a plain diet coke inbetween drinks so you are having even less. Eat a good tea before you go out and prepare something to eat for when you get back in, sausages can be pre-cooked and left in the fridge could have a sausage buttie? Or even a mugshot or something. And have food in for the next day survival food like SW cooked brekkie ingredients, low syn crisps or you could even prepare your free beef burgers the day before so they can be cooked on the sunday for a good hangover tea.

We will get you back on track! X
 
We can be your group for this week! You can be accountable to us.

As Rochelle and PP have said, you can come up with strategies for limiting the damage of nights out. Don't beat yourself up about hitting the town, just accept that it's probably going to happen and plan for it. You do so well during the week so don't be so hard on yourself that you throw it all out the window.

You've been doing so brilliantly and we are going to claw back those pounds to get you to your Christmas goal!!
 
We all go through these phases Stevie and as ever, you'll work your way through it :) xx

Stop right there missy! You can have a life and lose weight.....! Don't worry about weigh in just yet.....find out what the score is and move on from there.

It took me ages to lose my weight for the wedding, but I did it. I had holidays, social events and all sorts and sometimes I stuck to plan, sometimes not so!..........what I'm trying to say is you know in the back of your mind you want to lose the weight, it's when you don't get back on plan you should worry.

Come on Girlie xxxx
 
Am in a similar cycle myself at the moment but am trying to focus on the positives. I might not be losing the weight I want to lose at the moment BUT I am not getting bigger either which is positive. I raced to target the first time and in the long run I think that still left me with lessons to be learnt and I think thats what I am doing.
Now I think that there is no rush to target as much as I would like to be there because it is only another number on the scales and as long as I am getting there slowly I will get there and not further away even with the odd gain here and there.
try and focus on the positives hun!
If you think weighing and leaving will cause you problems think why that is and do your best to plan to combat it xx
 
:bighug: stop beating yourself up missy. Take a look at how far you've come. You can't stop living your life because you want to lose this weight, so you need to figure a way around it. Maybe alternate drinks with bottles of water? You can do this hun, we have every faith in you :bighug:

Hope the scales are kind to you tonight xx
 
Thank you all so, so much. I know you are all right, and that I can do this. I just need to focus and find a way of protecting my weight loss at tough times like this. I have all good intentions, even when I go out. I always say to myself "I'll stick to vodka diet coke", but then I always end up drinking bottles of Koppaberg, Jägerbombs, etc, etc!! I am trying to stay positive though. And on that positive note, I did manage to get right back on plan, rather than just thinking 'sod it'. I also spent 2 hours on the Wii last night playing the Just Dance games. Hopefully these two things might have helped me to limit the damage even just the tiniest bit!

My plan of action for tonights weigh in is to go over to group early, as I usually do with being on the social team anyway. Group doesn't start until 5pm, but I usually go over at 4.30pm to help set up etc. This also means I can have a good chat with my consultant about my struggles, before the rest of the group arrive. I have worked out that I can probably stay to group until about 5.45pm, and then I will need to sneak out so I can head off to the football. I am pleased, because not only does it mean that I can get the support I need from my group, but that I can also take part in the taster & clothes swishing we are having this week. I am taking over a bin liner full of clothes that no longer fit me - another positive! And I spent a couple of hours last night making some little bits for the taster: coleslaw, roasted red pepper hummus, garlic "mayo", chunky salsa, vegetable crudites and mini bite-size burgers.

I am hoping that the damage is not too bad tonight. I would love to see a maintain, but I am not holding my breath. What will be, will be! I probably won't be back online tonight as I'm not likely to be hom home from the football until about 11pm, but I will update with my result asap. If not tonight, first thing tomorrow morning.

I just want to thank you all again, for helping me to find the positives in a negative situation :bighug: xxxxxxx
