trials and tribulations of a serial dieter - returning to s/w

Hi Val

How's your weekend, Val? I've just been out for a horrid meal. The restaurant was full of toddlers (yuk) - the hissy fit and lets play hide and seek behind everyone's tables type. Honestly, some parents are soo laid back - or I'm too uptight!

Anyway, I had a bone dry tuna steak and when I got home had a ripple and 2 kit kats as I was feeling miffed! Now, in bed and feeling full and annoyed with myself. (Oh, did I mention the half bottle of wine as well?).

Hope you are more successful and strong minded then me at the mo!

Love Pomooky XXX

hi pomooky i had to smile to myself when i read this i hate it when i'm in a restaurant or cafe and the kids are running riot and the parents are oblivious to it i have no patience when it comes to that it irritates me (i had 4 little ones they always behaved) i think parents are more relaxed now and find it easier to let them do their own thing i could write a book on the subject lol. sorry u had an awful dinner u were being so good having tuna i bet u were so peeed off with urself after scoffing the choc i know the feeling well, i even tell myself i am going to feel like that after i've eaten it but it still hasn't stopped me why do we do it to ourselves! i've said b4 it's called comfort eating but u feel far from comforted afterwards :cry:just bloody annoyed but as long as you can draw a line under it and get straight back on plan that's the main thing i hope u've been ok today can easily go into a week thing (or month's in my case lol) we went to a chippy b/f had chips, pie and battered sausage i had lamb shish kebab with salad and pitta bread and bit of garlic mayo so will have to syn that but was happy that i managed to stick with the healthier option have got huge bowl of strawberries for later going to have vanilla mullerlight with them not quite the same as cream tho oh dear gone on a bit today hee hee .what day do u weigh? hopefully u will still have a decent loss this week hope u have a good one xx

Would you say drinking 2 litres of water a day is helping with your weight loss? Ive been trying it for a while now and constantly need to go for a wee Im hoping it will improve the elasticity of my skin and help reduce my baby belly ..Let me know how the scan bran cake goes if you make it !

hi louisa going to make a cake tomorrow they all rave about them at group but i can't see it being very nice going to have a look on the recipes in a minute, i did make a cake using weetabix and mincemeat was horrid :yuk: and i ended up eating the jar of mincemeat !!!
on the water front :7834: i am hoping it will make a difference not only to aid weight loss but to hydrate my skin i pinch my hands and the skin stays up for ages afterwards so know i need to drink more but do have to get out of bed at least twice thro the night which is a pain do u think it's made any difference to ur losss! i will let u know how i do this week i weigh on tues night. hope u have a good week x

Hi Val

I don't have a weigh in day! I get on the scales when I've been good (not often) and then get on them again when I've blown it (more often). Therefore, I didn't get on them today!!

I've been ok today, although I have just had a mega-enormous bowl of strawbs too. I put on some Total fat free yoghurt, walnuts and dried cranberries - bit of a calorie fest but better than the ripple and kit kats.

I feel really bleeugh today, what with the cardboard tuna and copious amounts of wine. I had managed to turn the 1/2 pound to a full one and now it's back! We're off to your neck of the woods next weekend and I would just like to go feeling less bloated and maybe 2lbs down. (Not buying any fireworks and champagne yet as it will be TOTM!!). 2lbs can make the difference to your trouser button staying on or not; I will be taking a needle and cotton with me!

Well done on your day. I would love to be able to eat 6 crabsticks and a slice of turkey without eating a table leg or two in desperation.

Speak soon, love Pomooky XXX

Are those shapers mint chocolate bars good Valerie? Love mint choc stuff.

 

[dmboanas]

Im interested to know if drinking more makes any difference . How did the cake go? I made 2 SW cakes one afternoon with my daughter helping. There was masses of washing up and faffing about..1 was lemon drizzle and I forget the other but they were truly revolting which I suppose is a good thing.. If I really want cake , I think I would rather use syns and have decent stuff.

Hi, before I reached target, I found that drinking more water really helped with the weight loss. I don't know why but it really did! Nothing to lose by trying it I guess! Hope that helps... xxx

I shall have to try these. I have a £5 Boots voucher sitting in my purse.

 

[valerie11]

hi crumble in larger boots u can buy the bars in a box of 5 for £2.05p but can only get strawberry nougat or the mint choc ones seperately they are 55p each but think they are well worth it they do a nice sort of rice crispy caramel one but they make me want to pig out for some reason let me know what u think of them xx
