Hi All
Well from the number of posts I have made, the amount of time I have been on mini's and a quick search of my posts - you will see I am a serial dieter - always get quick success followed by equally quick failure and regain.
I always have gone for the quick fix option at times when I have had an event or occasion I needed to be slim for - and then once thats over - I gorge again and put it all - and more - back on.
I have just been to see my other half in the USA - its a long story but for the time being he is there and I am in the uk - so we only get to spend about a week together every 6 to 8 weeks. Of course the time we spend together feels like a celebration so I always allow myself to be a piggywiggy. Had a great time but ate and drank way too much and he actually likened my body to another woman we met while out - and he called her full figured - but when I saw her I couldnt believe I am same size as her as in my eyes she was HUGE!!
Anyway - having at one time or anther done VLCDs, WW, Atkins - - I am now at my heaviest weight ever and I THINK at my lowest point ever.
When I weighed myself yesterday morning I was devasatated at what the scales read - so I got up and made tea and then used that tea to wash down a whole packet of hobnob creams. I am still feeling totally disgusted with myself - sitting here with red puffy eyes from a good long cry - and fighting the urge to try and do CD/W8 again - as I know I never follow it through to the end and hence always regain at refeed.
Anyway to commit myself - I forked out £90 last night to regsister for three months online membership at SW. Due to my job and odd working hours - time out of the country etc - I cant commit to local groups.
I doubt my books will be here with me till after the holiday weekend - so I have printed off the free foods, super free foods and Hex sheets - and I intend to start EE tomorrow.
I understand about 1/3 superfree making up each meal etc but have a few questions before I start toimorrow morning - which I cant find answers to and I wondered if someone would mind helping me out:
a) I drink GALLONS ie about 8 cans diet coke daily and think this needs to be cut way down - can someone tell me if any flavoured waters are allowed as unlimited free drinks ?
b) mugshots ...... I have to take my own food to work and intend to take boxes made up of salads veggies lean protein etc - but can i eat one mugshot a day as a snack ( IF i really need one? - sometimes i do 14 or 15 hour duty days)? and are they free on EE?
c) I have worked out a possible menu for tomorrow and wondered if it sounds ok?
B: scan bran topped with tomatoes and laughing cow lights - tea with skim milk = Hex-a Hex-b 0.5 syn
Lunch: big salad with chicken, fat free dressing, fruit
Dinner: stir fried turkey, noodles and stir fry veg with free condiments . low fat yoghurt.
evening syn snack = curly wurly
oh and on EE - how one arth do you get 1/3 of your plate full of superfree foods for breccy?
hope someone can help - ty in advance
