Thread: No more excuses

Hi everyone,
I'm basically writing this diary purely and simply so there is someone else seeing it instead of just me. I, eventually, want to be between 8 13 and 9 1 but I find it hard to lose weight so many interim targets in between. For the past couple of years I've given every excuse in the book for my weight gain: marital breakdown, moving house, Uni, losing a family member, etc. etc. I've finally realised that things will keep happening in my life and I can't use them as excuses for my size. I'm always unhappy with it and trying to justify it is not getting me anywhere so here goes. Second weeks WI tomorrow and I've had 3 days off plan so I'm expecting a gain. My obvious failre this week has made me realise I need to be a little more determined and perhaps have other people there to chastise me when I need it Will update with today's food tonight when I know it's true and not just good intentions

Okay here goes nothing
Monday Green Day
Coffee with milk (part of HexA)
Magic Porridge Pancakes (HexB)
1 banana
2 satsumas
Rice and sweetcorn
Chilli Prawn stirfry - 113g Prawns (HexB), chilli flakes, chilli powder, sweet paprika, noodles, cabbage and carrots.

Hopefully nothing else later but who knows? Will update if so, can't kid myself

Thanks chelle, nice to have a little support

Good luck snowwhite, i look forward to reading how you get on. You certainly seem to have found your focus x

Thanks hun :-) Well I ended up adding chicken to make up the rest of my healthy extra (only had 30g of prawns left!) and peas seeing as though I'm having a green day :-D Also blueberries and a 2 finger kitkat (5.5 syns) All full up :-)

Make ur own using a wholemeal roll as a healthy extra :-)

Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Good idea. I might get some next time I go shopping :-) Well, I'm 2 hrs and 700 words down (of 3000) of a full day writing in the library :-( WI today was half pound off, not bad considering 3 days off plan :-) Brought my own food in for while i study so here's today.

Green Day
Scrambled egg on wholemeal toast (hexb) with scraping of low fat spread (1 syn) and coffee with milk (part of hexa)
Blueberries, mullerlight, banana, satsumas and apple
Rice and sweetcorn
Sweet potato mash (no butter or milk), pan fried chicken, peas and carrots. MAYBE a bit of gravy :-O

Will update again later if anything gets added. Oh, and Pepsi max and water to keep me hydrated :-)

LOL so do i that's why i got the slices instead of the baguette this time.... it has to be my favourite food in the whole world x

That's another good idea. I never think of these things. I think I just see cheap garlic bread and think I'll have that! ;-)

It's easy to get carried away with the bargains though - i ummed and aahed for about 5 minutes infront of the weight watchers garlic breads that were reduced to 50p, but they were all like 9 syns plus and i'd already used quite a few syns that day after that rubbish strawberry cream and with 2 hot chocs to keep me warm... Have only used 3 syns today - thinking i might have something a bit yummy later x

I know what you mean. If there's food on offer I find it hard to resist. Well I gave in today with a twix (14 syns) but still 15 for the day so it's all good :-)
