Hi All,
I am struggling a bit - i am really focused to "do it" this time on Slimming World, i have my goal - which is - i do NOT want to be a fat midwife and i start my training in September so want to be well on my way to losing the weight by then!
My problem is - since i've started, 2 weeks ago my main problem is juggling going out and staying on plan.
Last week i had a work event which involved fish and chips (i don't like fish so opted for a sausage and chips - thought i'd eat the sausage and leave the chips, but once in front of me i think i left about 2 chips!!!) I also ended up at a chinese with my friend and tried to opt for plain rice and noodles with veg, but the sweet and sour chicken was calling me and i gave in and had some!:copon:
So last week i didn't lose anything , i didn't put on, but i didn't lose.
So back on plan this week, but suddenly i look at my calendar and i now have 2 possibly 3 evenings that involve meals out. SO i need some help!
Tomorrow i am going to Pizza Express with work - is there anything people can recommend for me to eat thats good? Are those new pizza's with the middle cut out and filled with sald any good on SW?
Friday i am out with my friends (a rare occasion we can get us all together) which involves a meal out - probably italian or american style food! plus drinks afterwards!
Saturday is now a friend of my boyfriends birthday and ANOTHER possible meal out - probably indian or italian!
I don't want to lose the plot - but can feel myself thinking - well i haven't got a chance this week so may as well eat that, so i am looking for a bit of a kick to keep me focused.
Does anyone else struggle with these sort of months where everyone wants to go our and eat!?! Any tips to keeping on track?!
I do fine if i can control the temptation put in front of me, but when i go out i lose the ability to say "no" and tend to just think sod it, i'll have what i want just this once....but it's 3 times this week and i know that will reflect the scales!
Sorry having a bit of a moan as well as asking for help!
