I'm really struggling to stay on slimming world. So far my excuses for derailing;
1) It's a special night out with my OH, first time in almost a year to have someone babysit while we go out. I had a cocktail and 2 pints of beer!!!
2) "Oh nevermind, I'll just eat this crisps/biscuit/choc cake now and it will be gone for tomorrow for a fresh start"
3) It's ok, I can always start again tomorrow -- except that never really happens
4) There are more important things to worry about
5) Food is too nice to deny myself the pleasure of enjoying it - despite cooking and enjoying several SW free dishes..

I think I'm just kidding myself and not putting 100% in it.. I feel like I'm giving it a half hearted try.
I feel amazing when I stick to it.. I smile more, I'm happier..I feel less bloated despite eating lots of carbs..
I've messed the diet for things like extra bread, nutrigrain bar, free food cooked in butter..and instead of synning them I thought: well I could syn it but I don't want to use my syns on that so I'll just eat it and more and then start properly tomorrow and use my syns on something nicer..
such a useless way of thinking. It really gets me nowhere..

I feel so fat and it's all down to me.
My face is looking bloated..I feel more jiggly.. my saddlebags are bigger..

Let's give this another go, shall we?
After all, it's not really over until I stop trying................

D:wedges, more soup. 1 tbsp ketchup (1 syn)

It was raining and I fancied something sweet. I didnt have any hot choc drink or such..and didn't fancy leaving murray to go out in the rain so I ate this before checking the syns for ciabata.. i knew it would be high... i need to be prepared with snacks for the day..i cant buy too many snacks though..
