    Tuesday weigh in?

    I am a Tuesday weigh in and I've dropped from 14st 2lbs to 13st 9lbs. That's probably over ten days rather than 7 though as I weighed myself and was very depressed that I'd crept back over 14 stone then 3 days later decided to get back on WW's. Next week will be the real judge of how well I am...

    Thanks :) it's something I've learned in recovery. At the end of my day I do an inventory. Make sure I've been kind, loving, that if I owe an apology I do it there and then and don't go to sleep with guilty feelings. I might add in my plans for the next day too. If you're ever feeling low a...

    Morrisons value chicken noodles are only 4 points - if you add mushrooms and sweetcorn etc to them they're quite filling. Even adding some chicken breast doesn't add too many points. Determined to get a good loss this week so will be checking back here for good ideas!

    WW meetings are doing a selection box for £1.95 and you get 10 different 2 point treats in it. Just had the dark chocolate toffee one and it was yummy! Good for a treat but I fear I will crave more later so might need to get my colleague to hide it from me until I go home haha

    Delusion? Denial? Not Sure!

    I weighed out WW chips today - and had them with white fish and sweetcorn.

I am so grateful to be enjoying my food again without guilt and even had a milky way today...
