Dieting for disney

[Hjanea46]

Well after a year of planning and saving this morning I have booked wdw Florida for next August. It will be around 33 degrees and I am 4 stone overweight so to enjoy my holiday I am going to lose as much of my excess weight as I can by following SW at home. I've been a member before at meetings and so know roughly what to do and I know that if I stick to it it will work- its just the sticking to it bit I have a problem with! I'm afraid that I'm one of those people who if they go off track loses the plot completely. I'm hoping that by posting on here I will be able to keep myself in check.

So- the plan for today is milky coffee (heA), fruit for breakfast.
Dinner- ham salad with new potatoes and possibly bread but I may save that for supper.
Tea- not sure yet- going for a root in the freezer.

Breakfast and dinner as planned. Decided to have chicken and veg kebabs with rice for tea then thought DD wont want the veg so I had deconstructed nes- frylighted red onion, mushroom and red pepper and did the chicken chunks separately. Also had carrots and leeks. Both my meals have been at least half superfree vegetables.
Supper has been green tea and a Jaffa alpen light (heB).
Syns- extra light salad cream-2 and I like to have a thorntons truffle at night which I count 3 for though they are possibly more!! So 5 syns today as I'm going out for breakfast with friends. I normally have the all day one but tomorrow I'm determined to have the smaller traditional one which 15 syns should cover.

Good luck on your journey! I'm taking my little boy to Disneyland Paris in December for his birthday so want to be in much smaller clothes by then!

I managed to have the smaller breakfast out today and the bacon was lovely and lean and I managed to not put the butter on my wholemeal toast so I'm really chuffed with myself so far. will post the full day later as I don't want to 'count my chickens' just yet.
