Hoping to Turn my Dream into Reality of being Thin & Healthy with SW !!

[Kanika]

Hi All:grouphugg:,

Finally Joined Slimming World Last Week, after contempating and deciding for weeks. Kept thinking will do it later, later, don't want to leave good food yet!!
But I finally took the plunge and Here I am 3 pounds lighter after a week.

I have done many a diets before, as others might have!! Cabbage soup, Lighter Life, etc. but failed each time - after doing it for 3 - 4 weeks.

Whereas, with Slimming World I didnt really feel that i was on a Diet, it feels like just picking up healthy food instead and still being able to eat what u like and LOSE.

I love the idea of being able to eat lots still, without having to say NO to most of it. I wish I continue feeling the same and stick to this one till I reach my BIG GOAL and DREAM.

I will log in Daily and continue the beautiful journey filled with emotions and motivation of discovering the HEALTHY me...
Today's Food Diary,
B/fast - Fruit Platter (Apples - Green and Red), Pears)

Lunch - Jacket potato + baked Beans

Snack - SW hi-fi Light Bar (3 syns or 2 bars = 1 Healthy extra).

Dinner - Still Deciding!!

Progress till now,

Until Tomm,

Hiya,

Yesterday was a pretty good day!!
Did not go over my Syns (Rather was under 10) - Feeling positive..

Yesterday's DAY:

B/fast - Fruits
Lunch - Fried Egg (2) + Beans + Grilled Sausage.
Snack - 1 hifi Choc bar (How tasty is that!)
Dinner - Made myself Chicken with Red and Green Peppers

Recipe for my Syn Free Chicken with Peppers:


Fry the chicken in fry light with a minced garlic until cooked.(put aside)
Fry in the Onions + Green and Red Peppers.
Put in the OXO chicken Cube (Syn Free) + Hot water
After 1-2 boils put back the chicken and let the water dry off.
The chicken soaks the water and flavours.

I had it with the Salad on the side for dinner.

ANyways I am determined to have a good day today!!

Full of Super Free and Free Foods!!

Hi Kanika, I've just been doing sw for over 3 weeks and I find that reading other peoples daily food plans really helps to give me ideas and motivation with my own plan. There are loads of syn free recipes on here too and I always make enough to do a few days so that I always have lots of food in the fridge so lunch and dinners don't take too much effort otherwise i might opt for quicker unhealthy choices.

You're doing well and don't beat yourself up when you go off plan, just put it behind you and start again. Good luck

 

[Kanika]

Hi ggmac, Thanks so much for your reply!! U are right, I need to think less and do more And good ideas for making lots and keeping for a few days, as i do struggle and think what to eat today!!

Hey Kanika!

I just restarted slimming world and I do really enjoy it as I mostly eat what I always have done just with a few tweaks here and there. You are allowed to be bad sometimes, so don't beat yourself up so much My biggest downfalls are cheese, bread, mayo, crisps and wine!

Keep going!
