Gem's Food Diary! (With pictures)!

[gem91]

I know how you feel hun, I did this before, had a kebab and felt awful, but luckily I managed to get off the 5lb!!! I had gained plus another lb by weigh day, I think you will be fine, even if you have gained a lb at least you know you are working it back off by getting back on plan don't let it get you down, just think of the following week when you weigh, I got on the scales yesterday and it said I gained 6lb, not sure how lol been on plan, actually never mind totm is due, so going to disregard the next 2 weeks weigh in's I think and just believe what the 3rd week says haha It is a good job my chippy is down the bottom of a massive hill, I don't drive or I think I would have followed suit, I keep craving chippy fish and chips lol so going to make my own slimming world version again very soon. Good on you for getting back on track! we all have blips, but a lot of people just spiral and carry on eating bad, but you have put your self right back on track because you obviously want to lose weight Wishing you lots of luck for your weigh in, don't beat yourself up and concentrate on the next weigh in, maybe hide the scales too haha, I have now, my OH is going to bring them down once a week (again ) xx

The thing is once you go off plan is hard to get back on it :/ I enjoy all my meals on sw so I don't know why I make the wrong choices! I'll always get back on track. I'm never going back, I've got too many reasons to do this now. I want to do this more than anything. I know I'll have a gain tomorrow but I'm just gonna keep on going! I should get rid of my scales, a couple of weeks ago they broke so I thought I'll break the habit and go without but I couldn't do it and bought some more :/

You're right, it is soooo hard getting back on it I am a comfort eater so even when I am going along fine on sw, as soon as something upsets me, stresses me or makes me angry, nervous etc I eat badly, reallllly badly, I am still struggling with breaking that habit, I suffer with depression so things can trigger me quiet easily unfortunately, I am basically taking things day by day, I'm trying not to think about the scales, in all honesty I am not to bothered what they say, I am more interested in my size, I was quite happy when I was walking down my stairs carrying some stuff and my jeans fell down, luckily it was just my partner here
You are deffo in the right mind set, you really want it, I really want it to, we will do this

Good on you being back on plan hun I love a lie in with my partner, but unfortunately when he is awake he gets straight up or gets agitated lol which is normally at 5am! So I have a lie in alone hahaha
I was never told about more syns, but took it upon myself to give my partner more syns, purely because he weighs over 19st and is 6ft 4in, he was almost 23st so he is doing well
My brother in law was advised to have 20 syns recently and my sister in law 20 too so I stopped worrying as soon as they told me that, didn't want to ruin his chances
I hope you have a great day hun xx

Hi thank you x

 

[gem91]

Still feeling positive! Nothing's gonna stop me this week! I've had 8 days holiday from work and go back tomorrow at 5:30 am so just trying to plan my meals for the next few days. This week our opening hours are extending which means a lot of my shifts are really late ones such as 2:45pm-11:45pm so probably will end up eating 4 meals as I'll want to eat before I got to work and breakfast and lunch but then I'm gonna be hungry at work but will try to fit a lot of superfree in! I went for another walk yesterday but just half an hour as my hip was hurting so gonna give it a miss for a couple days but I'm on my feet all the time at work so won't be being lazy.
Anyway here's yesterday's food:

B: omelette- 4 eggs, mushrooms, onion, tomatoes, 40g reduced fat cheddar (heA) + 2 mccartney red onion and Rosemary sausages

L: leftover carrot, onion and coriander soup, banana, muller light

S: mug shot Mexican rice ( 1 ), peppa pig puddle crisps ( 3 )

T: noodles ( 1 ), chow mein sauce 1/2 a pack ( 2.5 ), mushrooms, onion, cabbage, carrot, beansprouts





S: 2 x hifi (heB), muller light orange, golden wonder onion rings (3.5), golden wonder cheese balls (3.5)

Total syns: 14.5

It's horrible going back to work after time off!
I used to hate having to do different shifts & nights in a job...glad i'm just on days now mon-fri, even if it is still long hours .

 

[gem91]

Defo is horrible. When I used to have fixed hours I used to wish I had flexible hours so every week was different. I prefer to have a range of shifts but I never get a 9-5 day it's always really early start or really late finish :/ Aww bless you my days are never longer than 8 hours as we're not allowed to do overtime x

I start work at 6.15 am and can finish any when between 5 & 8pm , most of last week i was finishing around 7pm :sigh:
best thing i get sat and sun off overtime is optional on sat mornings , but i don't bother anymore

 

[gem91]

Bless you that is a long day. I don't blame you working those hours you deserve the weekend off! x
