I went for my wi this week and I had stayed the same I was absolutely gutted. Not a thing has passed my lips that shouldn't have or so I thought.
I always eat 2 x weetabix (hexb) and skim milk (hexa)
Lunch is normally pasta salad made from Pasta (obviously) red onion, peppers, sweetcorn, sun dried toms (2.5 syns) and honey mustard dressing (2 syns). For pud at work I take in Fruit Salad, Strawberries, Blackberries, mandarins (1 syn for whole tin but split over several days) and a muller.
Dinner has been a variety of things but basically I have thought that I could have as much green (pasta, rice, noodles etc) and as much chicken as I want because I only had one hexa and hexb. I thought this was classed as an extra easy meal. I did not realise that you had to incorporate a third of the superfree foods.
I had also been having the occassional ww pud (8.5 sysn) so I was still within the syns limit and I did not have the pud everyday.
So I was totally fed up. Today though one of our team leaders said she could tell I was losing weight because my face looked slimmer - even though up to wed my total loss was only 4lb.
I have steadily been reducing the pasta in my salad, I started with about 125 g but today only had 75g so my veg to pasta ratio is now greater. I also tried to take more fruit today. I also added celery and swapped red onion for spring onion today in the pasta salad.
Keeping my fingers crossed for next week.
Its as I said to my husband though, the reason its so disappointing is that even though I may have got it slightly wrong, compared to what I would normally eat I have been an angel. I can't tell you the amounts of cakes that have been going round at work recently. I have not taken a scrap off the kids plates.
