Hello all,
This is the heaviest I have ever been. I hope to never say that again.
Starting SW again after losing 2 stone last year and managing to put it all back on and more in a mere blink of an eye! That's the 3rd year in a row that I've done that. I think Ive probably loss about 20 stone in dribs and drabs over the years and put on 21! I'm an emotional over eater and the past few years would test anyone. My mum died in 2012 and now my dad has terminal lung cancer. If I don't keep an eye on my eating and weight, I will be next.
So, I've never done a diary before but my goal is to use this as a tool to recognise what I am eating daily.
If I acknowledge I have a problem, but can manage to write about it. That's one step forward. Also when I manage a whole day on plan, which I will (positive affirmation!) then it will be great to be able to write about that. Recognise my success, celebrate it.
So, no time like the present. I'm an extra easy kinda girl, but might move to green as I have PKD and protein isn't great for my kidneys to process. But one step at a time!
Breakfast
Bowl of pineapple
2 eggs scrambled and ketchup (2 syns)
Chicken mug shot
Milky coffee (hex a)
Lunch
Stir fry of veg and some prawns.
Apple
2 x alpen light (hexb)
Dinner
Lamb stew from freezer (5syns for olives and feta)
Muller light
Highlight fudge 3
Highlight Hazlenut 2
SYNS: 12
How does that look? My syns are pretty low so I might make the coleslaw for dinner with salad cream rather than yoghurt?
Any feedback greatly received! I need help and support. I don't want to join a group again, I'm just not ready to be public about my weight right now.
Thanks for reading...assuming someone has that is!
