I'm at the beginning of week 7 and I've been following the plan properly but having small losses. The one week where I ate a bit more (still totally on plan though) I had a bigger loss. It's starting to get me down a bit.
Yesterday, my 11 year old daughter baked, iced and decorated a cake all on her own and was devastated when I said I probably wouldn't have any. My children are more important to me than anything, so I had some and dont feel guilty at all.
It got me thinking though... I'm 40 years old and I've spent 27 years of my life yoyo dieting and if I feel too restricted I will go off the rails completely. Could I sustainably lose weight by following the plan to the letter 5 days a week but having weekends 'off'? I don't drink, so there won't be alcohol to add to the syns.
As I'm losing slowly anyway, I'm wondering if I could still get small losses while not restricting myself so much?
