I ended up with a quorn bacon sandwich when I got home late last night so my syns were 13 in the end yesterday (including the 2 carried over from the day before) so under the 15 so I'm happy with that. Calorie wise the day was under 1200. I like to keep a rough tally of the calories in my head too as a double check.
My meal out was the 5 bean chili as usual, although the nachos were tempting I resisted. I also stopped in Sainsburys on my way home to get food for tonight and normally on seeing all the bags of buttons and malteasers etc on offer at £1 I'd have grabbed one and polished them off on the long drive home (I passed them in the shop and the garage too!) but I looked at them and thought no, I don't really want any....or any of those reduced price cookies, the nice bread, the pizza or any of that stuff. Felt good to feel in control of what I was chosing for the first time in ages. Why is it all the offers are always on crap food though, should be a law against it. Peppers are never bogof are they!?
I had to bite my tongue last night though rather than get into it with an bloke outside the multi-storey car park! He was about 65, obviously on his way to see a show at the Hippdrome with two women a bit in front of me and there's always this homeless guy begging on the steps who you have to walk past on entering or exiting the car park. The old bloke got a right old angry face on him when asked if he had any spare change and shouted 'get a job you lazy bas***d!' at the poor guy before walking on as if nothing had happened! Neither of the women said anything and the homeless guy just looked shocked and didn't respond rudely back or anything. I was in shock myself, instinct made me want to blurt out 'hey, no need for that, he didn't do you any harm so leave him alone' but thought better of it. Made me realise though that all the people you read about who have weight issues who say they get shouted at in public and have rude comments made to them by strangers are probably on the receiving end of idiots like him. You just don't imagine people could be that rude to a complete stranger but obviously they can which is really sad. What you think in your head is up to you but to be abusive is out of order. Sorry for the rant but the bloke really got to me and I had to let it out!
The scales were even nicer than yesterday this morning and now say I've lost 1.4lb - hurrah.
