i always try to have fruit first thing too. and then i have some cereals or something. i find it helps to make me feel like i've eaten plenty. i know what you mean about not writing about the over eat days! :) congrats on getting back on track!

thanks! yep today is started with clementines, so thats a nice healthy start at least. cereals next i think. :)

yep i find that too. when you're underwater its great. i reckon i will try and do that more. my daughter is going five days a week to preschool after the holidays so i might see if i can go swimming more often in the mornings.:)

small glass of white rum plus cloudy lemonade. is quite tasty!

losing my way a bit, need to pay attention to keeping meals healthy. i like a meal to be satisfying and filling, and i need to achieve that but still keep it healthy. extra sauces are creeping in, a bit of chocolate, a packet of crisps or two. and i'm fed up of this bulgy tummy and double chin...

i can eat healthy pretty good when i am not stressed. but as soon as i have a high stress day, food becomes my crutch. out come the high fat, high carb, high sugar foods. i can't face just healthy foods, even though i really enjoy eating healthy. what does everyone do? and if anyone does the...

well, not been too bad over the last few days. time of the month and all that. still 11st 13 which is less than i started, so thats good. now the warm weather has started i feel bigger than ever. but hopefully before the warm weather really kicks in i will have lost a half a stone of so...

when i was doing slimming world, just the mention of a syn would make me want to eat synful food. so my overeating is definatley down to feeling deprived, so i make sure i'm not feeling deprived. when stress hits, i crave fatty, carby foods, so far i've been having a peanut butter and jam...

i totally agree. i just decided to focus on improving my relationship with food, and no binges so far. i eat healthly most of the time. and when the cravings hit, i just have a bit of what i wanted and then get to distracting myself so i don't get bingy. i also don't wait too long after i fancy...

beanburger is just sainsburys own. i would like to make my own again. i did used to but quite time consuming to make. have to have another go a it! been not too bad recently, definately no binging. not even fancied it. which is great. i've wanted to eat some chocolate or crisps or anything...

oh thats good, thats a motivating loss. is it an expensive system or not too bad. also do you get hungry?

thankyou! :)

well done!!! i love it when weight loss happens despite the odds!:)

i'm not doing amazingly well. but i've started to make a habit of when i'm sitting down in evening, i've got a 2 litre botle of water with me, to sip while i do work and relaxing. thats good as well cos it stops snacking.:)

oh yeah! i see it now! glad you're feeling reinspired again.:)

better eat some fruit for snack later though, a bit low on the old fruit and veg!

ha! cheers. :) had quick snack before work. bit rushed for time, so half jam sandwich, salt and vinegar sainsburys basics crisps, three fig rolls then when i got back, two jaffas, then i made tea of lidls korma sauce with veg, basmati rice, mango chutney, 2 mini naans garlic and coriander...

sounds great. i like the inventiveness:)

don't get it? where's the haywire bit? :)

lost a few pounds already. seems just by cutting out unhealhy snacks. definately given me more confidence in it. breakfast - bowl of cereals

yay for you!!! sounds like you are doing great!:)

plus two small granary rolls, one with cheese houmous and tomatosauce, and one with spicy beanburger houmous and tomato sauce. with partner when he came home from band practice. i was quite hungry cos i hadn't eaten for a little while, and was trying to stay up to get craft activities sorted for...

thats so kind, thank you! i had a better day today. brunch- banana lunch- pitta, houmous, gherkins tea- rest of pizza, but smaller portion. snacks- satsumas and drinking water right now. not quite enough food but portion sizes are getting better. i also like the fact that there is...

pizza and jaffa cakes :( stress related:( cant be bothered to cook.

hi christie, your menus sound good so far, not depriving yourself which is good. i am the same, having done slimming world twice with no long term success. i am now looking for a way of life i can maintain which is enjoyable.:)

missed breakfast, had preprepared pasta salad plus pitta strips and houmous for lunch.

you've got a will of steel, not to eat that ice cream! you're right about eating healthy to keep your energy up when stress hits. just got to implant that as an action in my brain! yesterday was extreme stress and i went into extreme coping mode. which for me is being a control freak and nothing...

oh and i do an art group for adults from 2-4 on monday afternoon, an afterschool art club on a thursday from 3-4, and an art and crafts activity morning for child(ren) plus guardian on every other saturday 10-12. but the funding for that one is coming to an end so unless i drum up more support...

thanks for the welcome! don't worry, didn't do too much cleaning, in fact only did half the living room! watched 'so you think you can dance' on bbc iplayer. i love that show am so glad its back! ate skinny cow hot choc plus marshmallows. they are basically air, right? :) then a ainsley harriot...

i am a vegetarian, and i love it. i need to get back to my healthy roots. lessen the amount of crisps i eat.!

it was pretty good actually and i ate lots of it! but i don't feel any cravings hit so thats a good thing. it sure is good when its bedtime for little ones and you can switch off! i must get some washing done so i've got clean clothes for work tomorrow and get some work done for tomorrow. i run...

yep we're having pasta with carrots courgettes olives mushrooms and fried in olive oil. about 2 tbsp. this is slightly less than i would use normally and i've easy on the pasta and heavy on the veg.which is again a change from the norm. also snacked on gherkins while preparing, might help to...

grapes! me too with the eating loads. i always find it happens after i attempt to diet by cutting out foods, i always end up craving them and eating lots. thats what happened on slimming world i always went over my syn limit! so just healthy eating i'm trying now, see if i can avoid my binging...

mmmm sounds tasty! i think that sounds good and healthy. good idea to have soup with sandwich. fill up with low calorie. i always find that hot food fills me up better than cold food. very wise to count your tortellini!well done on your water intake, i've probably only managed less than a litre...

i bought some bottled water just to help me, cos they are two litres and i can just work my through one a day, and a bit tastier than tap where we are, and try and do one more litre through hot drinks and such. i'm sure it will help cos we'll be fuller more often and less likely to mistake...

hiya happy em, i'm not a big egg fan really, so i don't eat it alot but i do like omlettes sometimes. my main thing is not really having the opportunity to cook first thing, with my little girls breakfast to get etc etc and before i know it sometimes i haven't had breakfast and have some later...

hello everyone, first day of a long term new start. no pressure, just healthy eating for vitality and stamina! and maybe lose a stone or two in the process?! so today so far, half a banana, decaff coffee with splash of milk and teaspoon honey. bit early in the day to post but i'll probably...

sounds like a good idea, i'm joining too i think. i've switched to decaff coffee recently but unsure if its as dehydrating as normal coffee and if its scuppering my hydration attempts! so 3 litres for me i think is a good target.

hi wendy and sarah, i'm new to the forum. i am doing the same wendy. i've tried slimming world two times but never manage to make it a way of life. so i'm just going down the healthy eating route now, see how that goes. i am 12 stone right now and i would like to get under 11 stone and stay...

yeah i'm always so tempted to eat more than syns allow. i save my syns till the end of the day so i can sit and enjoy them when my little girl has gone to sleep. like tonight. i have a packet of 5 syn crisps and 5 syn chocolate bar. and then i want more! but i just have to tell myself i'm doing...
