Hey! Just been reading through this thread, congratulations on the weightloss so far :). Its hard when a lot of people around seem to be able to eat what they want and get away with it ( as you mentioned at the start of this thread ). But I guess what we have to bear in mind is its not just about the weightloss but also about the fact that eating a healthier diet feels so much better physically and mentally than all that high fat food. Im starting afresh now and i think this is what im going to have to keep at the forefront of my mind! Im a student and unfortunately surrounded by temptation - i cant avoid passing a fast food place on my route home! Need to stick to it though!!! Hope your weightloss journey continues to be successful! :) xx
 
Thank you Lizzie! So true about good (healthy) food making a positive difference to mentality and general well-being as well as the weight loss - must remind myself of how much better I feel when I eat well, and not be jealous of people shovelling their faces with pizza etc as their skin, hair, teeth, nails are probably in much worse state than mine and it's not worth it for those few moments of yummy food! Thank you, and good luck to you too :) xx
 
Had quite a good day today so far - had an interview at a nursery today for an apprenticeship I'm hoping to get and it went really well as far as I'm concerned, the people were nice and they said they'd let me know by the end of the week so that's exciting! Also, my new look order finally arrived and the dresses are lovely! One of them is a black and pink floral peplum sleeveless dress and it looks amazing! When I wear it I'll try and take a photo :) Taking a few back for various reasons, but that was part of the plan anyway - I can't afford to keep all of them!

Having a bit of a hungry day today, which isn't great! But I've been under syns for the past two days so I have a bit of leeway if I really want anything :)

28/1/13

Breakfast - 35g muesli (HexB) with 85ml whole milk (1/2 HexA).

Lunch - 1/4 leftover chicken, mushroom and spinach potato topped pie (1/4 HexA?!) and a boiled egg... (Random, I know!)

Dinner - Beef in black bean sauce (5 syns) with boiled rice and prawn crackers (3 syns).

Snacks - Boiled potatoes with a tiny bit of butter (1 syn), yellow rice (2 syns for oil), cherry tomatoes, turkey slice.

Syns - 11 today - 25.5/105 weekly

Glad your interview went well :) I love peplum dresses now, i didnt until my friend made me try one on (i was convinced that my already large bum/hips would be accentuated!) but it actually looked nice and i got lots of compliments when wearing it. Am going shopping tomorrow to find something to wear for a night out on friday so will try new look as it sounds promising!

Am making a similar pie to your one tomorrow, chicken, bacon and leek - yum.

I was exactly the same about peplums! It wasn't until Jen said that she had the same worry but looked good in her top that I dared to get one :p Really happy with it! Lucky us :D Ooh, night out sounds good haha - me and a friend are going to Chameleon on Thurs to see Rylan haha! That pie does sound yum, you'll have to let me know how it goes :)



So I've decided to get a Chinese for dinner, yum! Going with beef in black bean sauce as other than a few things it's the lowest syns :) Going to put some rice on to boil whilst I walk round there and it'll hopefully be done by the time I get back! Going to grab a bag of prawn crackers too, just cause they're so low syn! 5 for 1.5 now - used to think it was only 2 for 1.5 syns! Can't wait :)

The dress :) Think the first photo looks better but the second one has my face in it, however miserable and weird it looks haha! I was actually very happy at the time of taking the photo, just really bad at selfies so concentrating hard :p
 
Dress is cute and you look lovely Laura!! I would never have tried that style either! X
 
Aw thanks guys! I felt quite slim in it too, which was nice :) it is such a lovely dress - from new look! :) not sure I'd look so slim in it now though haha, still stuffed from dinner nearly two hours ago! Yum, was so nice though :) got leftovers for tomorrow!
 
Eeee! Look at you skinnie Minnie! Well done pet, you wear the little dress well :) x
 
Aw thanks guys! :D It's nice to feel confident that I look good in things now haha! Also, so good to be back at my original target as it feels like a proper security blanket haha! Now to get into the 10s :) xxx
 
Today has pretty much gone to plan... I went to the cinema with my Nannie as she wanted to see the Hobbit before it was out of cinemas and had planned to have a small sweet popcorn - which I did! Estimated syns at 22 for the small, so I would say I had around 15 syns as there was quite a bit left in the bottom as well as my Nannie having some :) Not bad at all! Was so good to come home and have leftover Chinese to munch on :p More syns, but still under my weekly so far!

Had a phone call RE the interview yesterday from the woman at the apprenticeship part of the company, and she said she'd heard back from the manager at the nursery (with whom I had the interview yesterday!) and she'd said I did really well and they liked me! That's all great, but obviously they still haven't told me if I got the job or not - hopefully should hear tomorrow, eek! Everyone keeps saying it sounds as though I've got it, which is nice but is worrying me too haha, feels like it's jinxing it! Fingers crossed all goes well and I do actually hear from them tomorrow :S

29/1/13

Breakfast - A banana.

Lunch - Leftover beef in black bean sauce (around 2.5 syns?), boiled rice and prawn crackers (3 syns for 10).

Dinner - 50g pizza (5 syns), 2 pieces garlic bread (9 syns) and coleslaw (2 syns).

Snacks - Sweet popcorn (15 syns).

Syns - 36.5 today - 62/105 weekly

Thanks! Yeah, was nice to just have the syns to relax with some popcorn for once and not feel guilty about it! :)

Have had a bit of a wobble - mum made pizza, garlic bread, coleslaw and the rest for the family for dinner, and I've just indulged in a bit! Weighed the stuff before hand, with the aim of synning it all, and it's come to 16 syns!! All for a poxy bit of rubbish :(
 
Good luck with the job results lady :) glad you had fun at the cinema x

Fingers crossed for the job hon x
 
Hey love, I can't keep up with the other thread so not sure if you've already said, have you heard about the job yet? Was it for an early years setting?

I had an off plan day yesterday, couldn't be more hungry so I just ate, I think I needed it, as I'm ok this morning. Not even bothering to think of SYNS or anything.

Anyway good luck love! X
 
Hi hun, I know it's so fast paced over there now haha! Impossible to keep up with everyone :) Haven't heard from them yet, boo :( They were supposed to let me know by the end of today! Quite annoying... They're so lax in communication! Yeah, it's a nursery nurse apprenticeship :)

Aw, I'm having a nightmare of keeping on plan now! Was all going so good for a week or two haha! Oh dear, binged on pies and biscuits today! Going to try and be good tomorrow but reallyfeel like I need to comfort eat at the moment! Pretty sure it's my hormones - been breaking out in spots too which just isn't fun :( Need to stop procrastinating and go to the bloomin doctors! x
