Help-I'm new here

I know it's pathetic but I am really struggling with will power. I set out my meals every day and then when it gets to the evening(not every day) I go for whatever I can find :-( I lost 4lbs this week then tonight I've well and truly splurged. I need to stay on track! 24lbs to go!!!!!!:break_diet:

Address the issue of why you eat in the evening

I take it its boredom? Chop carrot sticks up or just do something productive!

Were all allowed to have a few blips, its all learning!

Thank you Shabba. I will definately try the carott sticks tomorrow. Definately a boredom thing in the evening.

Play the games on here!
I recommend the loony tune mahjong.

Ha but what I do when i am really craving something usually when I'm home alone is make sure I save enough points in the evening. (not so easy sometimes being on 19points or if I have saved some through the week)

But when i do I get a WW pizza- make chips (9points) and then a WW chocolate bar (1.5points)
Then read a good book or watch a good film. Makes me feel like i'm having a takeaway and pudding but still in my points.

I agree with what has been posted. I always save some points back for the evening as that is my weakest point in the day. You could make a low point dip with natural yogurt and whatever herbs and spices you like to have with the carrots. Lasts for a long time.

I've started a list of things to do when I get the urge to munch. I figured if I had this prepared in advance it takes the pressure off. Its got some obvious things like relax in a bubble bath - candle lit of course, manicure etc. has also got some not so obvious like sort out my photos, researching where i want to move to on line. Its a work in progress and am adding to it as I go. It really helps that at the dodgy moments I've got a list I can just look at for ideas.

If all else fails give yourself a good talking to! I do this too but have ignored myself too much in the past.

if you like jelly, then get some sugar free stuff, zero points! that's what i snack on if i feel a little hungry
