I have being on and off SW for months now and at the littlest upset I throw myself right off the wagon for weeks.. And the more I feel bad about it the more I seem to eat rubbish ... I do have a food diary but every time I have a bad day I just cross the page off I try to forget, I am hoping that posting here will help me stay good ! I heard the same quote twice yesterday " the most difficult things to get are usually the worthiest to have " SO, time to pick myself up ! by the way, I am following the EXTRA EASY PLAN.

Hello! Welcome and good luck :)
I find writing it down does help a lot but I am still struggling to cut out treat days and binges as much as I would like! X

thanks so much Sammy !!! I know exactly what you mean :cry: the worst about theses days is I don't even enjoy it and I know i'm doing myself no good...

I know you don't enjoy it do you cos you are so full of guilt!! But we are only human!!
I actually love it when I'm on plan cos I enjoy the food I eat! Just think it's kind of programmed into all of us to sometimes crave some bad stuff! X

Good luck with it. I've been going for over a year now and still find that writing a food diary helps me to stick on plan!
 
Right, I have waited until the end of the day to update my food diary, saves me editing the page 3 times. I do tend to change my mind and don't always fancy what I planned to eat ...
so,
Brunch = Baked beans,wholemeal toast (hexB) and ham slices. I will use 250ml semi skimmed milk (hexA) for my cups of tea during the day.
Tea = Carvery : Pork, cauliflower, peas, brussel sprouts, 4 little roasties ( 7 syns ) and 1 tbsp of horseradish sauce ( 1 syn ).
i did pass on the gravy today, might skip the spuds and enjoy it instead next time...
Total syns : 8 syns.

So ya steered away from the Parmesan yesterday did you?
I don't really use any cheese unless it's cooked and melted on things and it's always low low!
Day sounds like it went well yesterday xx

Fine ya didn't go to Zumba but did you get the box of chocolate r did you stay within syns? Precisely! Think positive :) I have been down with 'that time of the month' and I mean really down! I can't go to the gym for fear of accidents and the sheer pain! So a dog walk is all I can do today. I feel letdown in myself but I've stuck to my food so in gonna try and think positive for weigh in tomorrow! X

I know what you mean about that time of the month there's not chance for me to excercice either.. but the worst time for food is the week before ( this week!) my mood is so low, and I am a right B**** to everyone, feel horrible and want to comfort eat ahah what a portrait of myself !!:eek::D

Haha ya are only human!
You are describing me there lol! The hot choc is soooo much better than binging on something that's 10x over syn worth. I mean ya could eat a full cake!!! (going from my greediness) but no ya just trying to rid the cravings using something so tiny! You'll be fine :)
In just eating so much. Munching so many new potatoes for dinner and I already had a huge brekki. Woops! Xx
