Anwen's food diary

[AnwenG]

I've been doing sw for 12 week now and even though I've lost each week the weeks that I was expecting a big loss it didn't happen.
So I'm hoping by writing my food diary here I can see more of a pattern or someone can point something out

Hi Anwen, That's an excellent idea. I have found that writing a diary is helpful in lots of ways. Apart from just logging your food intake as others can post their encouragement and support which is often sorely needed if you are feeling a bit down. Plus we can revel in your successes too!
Looks like you are doing magnificently anyway... well done!

Well today was a weird day!! But all 100% on plan. I drove home through torrential to my village, and then there were huge floods so I drove through what really was a river in the road. So I arrived and told my mum and dad to hurry home as it was still raining just incase they wouldn't be able to come home. Neither of them listened lol. Anyway I went on Facebook to see the full extent of the flood within the village. And then the river broke and over 100 houses have been damaged by the flood!! Thank god we live on a hill and nowhere near a river. So I made lunch and took the dog for a walk I couldn't go far as all the roads were flooded lol an the cars had to come up on the pavement. My house phone was off and my mobile signal was a bit on and off so I was panicking about how my mum and dad were going come home as by 3 the road was closed in and out of my village so I snacked on pickled onions rather than chocolate lol. My mum finally arrived lol having
Left her car at work, was driven as far as they could into the village and then had to walk the last 3 miles with the water at one time up to her waist. Anyways lol I'm writing this food diary in my notes at the moment as we don't have Internet. Sorry for the essay

That must have been a very worrying time waiting for your mum to get home. So many people being flooded out this year, I'm sure it's a relief being in a good area where you are not likely to get affected. Well done on managing to keep to your diet.

Exactly what a difference 100 meters makes, and thanks I knew I'd only kick myself later if I binged on chocolate and I wouldn't be able to relax with a ripple and cup of tea at night lol
