Well done - it all helps
There's a German saying which translates as "small animals produce just as much crap as big ones given time" :8855:

Hate Saturdays when I have to work *grumps* Anyway...
Breakfast as usual.
Lunch: Spaghetti bolognese with the packet sauce my son is so fond of (3 Syns)
Afternoon snack: large chunk of watermelon. Oh my, I had no idea that it can be such a diuretic - I must have shed a couple of pounds in water just this afternoon!
Supper: ham sandwich and a plum (just one, I never thought I could have fruit overload, but I certainly did after that watermelon...)
Evening snack: one choc digestive.

Today's menu:
Breakfast as usual. So what if it sounds tedious? I love it.
The (soon to be ex) husband cooked lunch today: pasta with turkey breast cooked in tomato sauce. Under my supervision, it only added up to 2 1/2 syns (spot of oil and a drop of honey).
Supper: ham sandwich and a bowl of plums (while supervising last-minute homework).
Evening snack: 1 choc digestive. I've never had a packet of choc digestives last so long before!

Well done - there was so much in your first post that I could relate to. It is hard if your family are dismissive of what you are doing - I'm lucky as it's only me and my 2 girls so it's my choices we eat, although when we stay with my BF he offers treats of Chinese, chip shops, eating out and takeaways thinking he's doing me a favour by me not having to shop and cook but I'm learning to just say "thanks babe but NO".
Bread is my huge downfall - I've been doing original or green this week as I hate using my HEB on All Bran for breakfast and not having the option of a sandwich or toast for the rest of the day (but wholemeal bread does not give me the cravings that white does). If I do want comfort carbs I bake some of the low syn cheese scones - they are divine.
Good Luck

Oh, this morning was torture.... one of my classmates at college had a birthday today and she organised a big spread with birthday cake and things for us during the break. There was me sitting chomping my way through a bowl of fruit salad while the others were scoffing a luscious cake bursting with raspberries and cream......... Trouble is, I just can't let myself indulge, because knowing me, it would be the first step down a slippery slope. In any case, at least I felt virtuous once I'd stopped sulking!
Breakfast as usual, fruit salad as morning snack.
Lunch: boiled potatoes, baked beans and bacon. This is my version of comfort food
Supper: ham sandwich and a wodge of watermelon. 1 Prinzenrolle biscuit as a snack.

Yum! I add spring onions or fried onions for even yummier finish. Some people use Quark instead of cottage cheese and add HEA low fat cheddar. Lots of options.

OK, so today I am REALLY p***ed off. More cake at college to resist (yes, I did resist ), and today I bought a ready meal (chicken topped with mozzarella and tomato) which turned out to be disgusting and a total waste of syns. Didn't have supper except for a bowl of plums, it was so hot and I just could not be bothered. Cuppa and 1 chocolate digestive to go to bed on (not literally, mind....).
I am just fed up to the back teeth today :sigh: Been watching The Biggest Loser to boost my motivation and remind myself why I'm doing this....
