Okay so the first day went really well but ended TERRIBLY in a celebratory bottle of rose wine
Which THEN resulted in a hangover and fish & chips for dinner OMG why do I do it to myself
Maybe should just stay away from any drink because it always seems to ruin it for me.
Anyway, will not fall at the first hurdle, the past is the past and all that!
B: Alpen light bar (heB), Bananna

Hadn't been food shopping yet so made do with what I had in the house:
B: Banna, 1 x Alpen Light (3.5)
L: Tuna mayo (3) sandwich on brown bread (heB)
Mango slices
S: Extra light cheddar cheese (heA)
D: Nothing (naughty!)
Diet coke & 4 x double vodka x 2 (20)
I know that I will sometimes go over 15 syns a day going out with the boyf few nights a week or having a drink in the evenings (not that I'm an alcoholic or anything!)
Was mentioned to me that I could manage syns weekly and total them up that way... So am going to try this!!!
I think this will help as I tend to think I've blown the whole thing if I have something bad and would be on a downer, at least knowing I hadn't ruined the whole week would put things into perspective and keep me in line I guess!
So that's...
Seen this on the forum:
Fish and Chips from a chip shop (chippy chips):
Regular Chips (227g): (17½ Syns)
Battered Fish, Large (225g): 19 Syns - I had 1/2 so I'll say (10 syns)
Bottle Rosé (26 syns)
Weekly syns remaining **31.5**
Spread out over 4 days that's roughly 8 a day which isn't too bad I guess

I have been really bad and am beating myself up over it.
Last night not only did I have a Cadbury's warm chocolate pudding, but I also had CUSTARD! I'm not even going to think about how many syns that was.
I think it all comes down to alcohol! It doesn't agree with me, makes me feel rotten for days and I binge eat to try and make myself feel better, it's like a vicious circle and I think that's what my problem is!
Am so angry at myself
I need to steer clear of the stuff, the boyfriend likes a beer after work and I think I can keep up with him.
I think it's clear what my downfall is, this has been a cycle for me for ages and I think it's where the weight comes from.
SO - with all the healthy good Food I have in, I think it best I just write the last few days off, look at it as a learning curve ( I think this diary writing stuff actually helps! ) and start fresh.
