It is hard to get your head around feeling as if you're eating too much but it all hit home for me the day that Mal said to me but I only had 1 bar of chocolate and you have 5 or 6 satsuma's....I pointed out to him that the average Kit Kat Chunky has about 250 cals and the average satsuma has about 40 cals, therefore I can have 6 or so for his 1 bar of choccie but the important thing is that after he has consumed his kit kat he has had about 12.5g's of fat....after I have eaten my 6 satsuma's I have a had about 0.6g's of fat, that's the difference hun xxx

It's actually making my mouth water just thinking about it 
Going to get the slow cooker out on tuesday and try make a sausage casserole and then freeze a couple of portions as well
Nope there is no giving up, I've given up way too many times in the past and this time it needs to stick. Mum was saying earlier today that I look different. AND a seat in her room that is normally tight around my backside actually felt loose today

I love the seat thing!! I have the same thing at work with the dining chairs love it
I keep thinking if I stick to plan 100% then I could very well end up not needing to have a seatbelt extension on the plane in June

I had the same thing at bingo last week, main reason I stopped going was cos I couldn't squeeze in the seats and sit comfy without my tummy pushing up against the table and hurting really bad all night, last week, I slid in easy and there was a good 3 inch, at least, gap between me and the table xxx

Me again! Not quite the same as the stuff out the bottle, I think it tastes better. You can leave the chili powder out but I like it with a little kick.

Thanks ladies :bighug: I think I'm finding it hard to get out of the mentality that I shouldn't be eating this much food, that I should be hungry all the time
I like the fact that since starting sw and knowing I have my syns to use, means I can have a little bit of chocolate at night if I wanted to and it now satisfies me more than any big bar of chocolate could. Before xmas and before making the decision to start sw I'd happily eat a big bar of chocolate and want more, and more and more. No matter how much I had it just wouldn't satisfy me
I think I'll try and keep within the 10-15 syns wise, the main reason I wanted to try and restrict them is because I felt greedy and wanted to speed up the weight loss :cry: But, I need to listen to people who have more experience on the plan than I do, and I trust you ladies fully :bighug:
I can relate so much to this, I can't seem to get my head around the fact that you can eat so much yet still lose weight, my body hasn't got used to it yet but I'm sure it will soon.
I didn't use my syns for the first 2 weeks and haven't lost any weight at all
Hope you're ok anyway, you're doing brill and hopefully you see a big big big big BIG loss this week

I've been an idiot yet again and scale hopped 2lb gain is showing at the moment. It doesn't count unless it's still there tomorrow, but I'm keeping everything crossed that it's gone by then.
I'm actually half tempted to get Chris to put the scales in the attic so that I can't even get to them until a monday morning
