I've been reading some of the food diaries and I can't believe how much pressure people seem to be putting on themselves!
I've read of someone being 'devastated' because they went 2 whole syns over their allowance one day or *shock horror* ate a chip off the kids plate.
I'm just wondering how seriously people take their SW ways.
I plan my evening meals, more because I have to feed 3 so they need to be 'normal' (like a bolognese) and I plan what to take to work. But for 4 days a week I just see how I go.
I'm not against planning every single thing that passes your lips but do you think it can go too far sometimes?
I've been put off reading the diaries now cos there were some people I just wanted to yell at ("Pull yourself together! It was one chip dammit!!").
I know the point of SW is to lose weight and become healthier doing it, but it's supposed to also be about enjoying your food too and changing the way you view food. The whole point of free foods is so you don't feel deprived and the point of having 15 syns a day is to have a treat.
I don't really know what I'm trying to say or ask here. Just wondering whether people are always planning every meal or if anyone is a bit more laid back with regards to their food.
Oh, I made up the chip thing. I didn't read that in someone's diary, but if someone has posted about their chip devastation - I wasn't specifically picking on you, it was just unlucky coincidence.
