I was going to do a food diary and a weight loss diary and posts about how I feel about stuff and then posts with questions I have etc, but then I figured with my little brain being easily overloaded, I;d just create a 'blog' so to speak and stick everything here. I doubt many people will be that interested in me to be fair but obviously comments and suggestions, advice and support are welcome
So, here I am, day 5 of SW and to be honest I think I am made a bit of a mess of my first week. I won't have gained - I do know that - but I certainly won't have the huge loss that most people get as a boost in their first week, which I am gutted about to be honest - but it's my own fault. I imagine I may lose 1 or even 2lbs or at worst STS.
I have chosen to have my syns on a weekly basis and to have up to the full 105 each week. I know lots of people go for no more than 10 a day but I decided personally to allow myself the fill amount if I want it, though I'm not going to force myself to have the full amount if I don't!
This first week has been kinda up and down. I've had 2 good days, one a bit bad and 2 pretty bad. I have been keeping my written diary for my consultant but I have missed bits and bobs off it I know. By the time I weigh in on Wednesday I should imagine that I will have estimated approx 20 syns per day overall. I'm struggling with the syns a bit and finding it hard to find things to snack on. I've had lots of fruit this week and also fat free yoghurt, but I can't really have too much fruit as I am allergic to lots of it and it gives me a horrible rash around my mouth which is irritating and sometimes painful. I'm also not a huge fan of yoghurt so am having 1 every few days or so. I am also a compulsive and emotional eater (hence me doing SW in the first place!!) and while I have managed to stop myself quite a bit, I have also have a few 'wobbly' moments. For example, today I have had fruit for breakfast, a sweet bun with coffee at my parents house, low fat super noodles for lunch, but then I followed that with my 2 Alpen bars as Hexb, a packet of chocolate buttons, a bowl of sultana bran and a weight watcher frozen dessert - so you can see how quickly I can add up my syns! It does upset me, as it makes me feel greedy and disgusting, but I recognise it's a problem I have and that I need to deal with that. I have 90lbs to lose to reach my personal goal and am looking to lose 1.5lb - 2lb per week until I achieve this - though I would have liken to have had the big loss this week to give me a boost.
Anyway, a bit about me for anyone who is interested! I am called Leanne. I am 31 is 2 and a bit weeks time. I am a teacher, and teach Health and Social Care at a college in Manchester. I love music and films, preferring the more goth or alternative music. I am single and live in my own house with my 2 cats, Sookie and Ziva in Leigh. I would love to meet someone but feel that the way I look right now is disgusting and unattractive so I don't feel like I could have a successful relationship right now. I have been fat since I was about 7 and had tried lots of fad diets and even weight watchers a few years ago at which I lose just over 3 and a half stone. Unfortunately for various reasons I stopped doing it last July and have gained back most of that. I had my first SW class last Wednesday and weighed in at 17 stone 1lb. My personal goal is 10 stone 9lbs.
Anyway, sorry for the huge post! I've had some lovely people here already friend me on facebook etc and am hoping to make some good mates here and therefore increase my chances at succeeding this time! As I said, feel free to comment on anything, or whatever. The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned!
