[patches1]

Well have been on plan and am well and truly back on plan have had a few gain over the last few weeks but I lost 5 pounds last night so feeling on top of the world have been honest about what I'm eating and taking pics and will continue to do so this week

 

[patches1]

Well have been off plan for a little while just following a low calorie meal plan quite similar to SW and feeling much more in control of myself felt like i was spiralling out of control at points but at the mo i feel i've gotten my head round things a little better- not sure if that makes sense but am feel like i am in the driving seat so hoping this will carry on for some time- am also booking a bootcamp so this will be my year of being fit and healthy- hope everyone is doing well xx

 

[patches1]

Okay am back...
Had a pretty rubbish end of 2012 and what do i do the old chestnut of comfort eating- it has at times felt out of control but am trying to follow the plan again I want to be feel like i am in control of my body again xx Here for inspiration and to keep myself on track xx

Well what can i say was out and about when a packet of skips fell into my mouth 4 syns could have been worse have also just started my period which probably explains the desire for crap at the mo.
Think I've got most of tomorrows meals sorted not sure about dinner but will see what the day brings.

It feels strange to be going back to being aware of what i'm eating my poor body is taking some abuse at the mo. Can't wait to feel more comfortable in myself.

well spent a little too long wondering aimlessly around Sainsburys picked up some lazy ginger not sure why lol obv feeling adventurous - opted to buy some thin sirloin steak 2 pieces under a fiver and that is lunch sorted for tomorrow had
Dinner
Steak fried in frylite
mushrooms
1/2 tomato
1/2 tin mushy peas
1/2 packet vegetable pilau rice
fried egg

have bought some redbush tea roobioos so something like that- have drunk it before and am trying to increase how much i drink as am sure am dehydrated quite a lot. Have been snacking quite a lot on
clementines
pear
2 activia yogurts
more tea
also have struggled the last couple of days to include a healthy b choice or not finding anything in the cupboards- should have bought some alpine lite bars as i really like them so had
28g bran flakes
a little bit of milk say 3 syns just to cover myself

not sure how much milk i have had but don't think it's been that much i should have measured it out but if i swap from normal tea to redbush on some days i can enjoy 2 whole babybels.
have realised for some time that i am a secret muncher but sometimes i just wish i could stop am not sure my body is used to me not having so little rubbish in it- it's probably in shock lol.

Feeling more postive in myself just want to carry on at the moment- long may that continue.

An example of mysteak dinner from the other night made double so lunch the next day was sorted and meant I didn't need to work out what to take to work. Find it is deadly if I'm not prepared as I spend lots more money on prepackaged stuff and can normally be tempted and then think oh i've blown it all for the day what other junk can i have. I find i get better the longer I am on a plan it becomes a habit but really want a good start this time.

have been plagued by a headache the last few hours- although I've cut down considerably on Pepsi Max it had been coming back into my diet at lunchtime and before i restarted SW was having normal tea with all the caffiene so wonder if I am having a bit of a withdrawal from that today?
