Little Pink Dress ...

[Missjlouise]

I have just come home from Tunisia where I actually dared to wear a bikini at the heaviest I have ever been and felt good about it

13st 7lb and I was comfortable in a bikini??? .... I have really shocked myself!

Accepting what I look like at my biggest has helped me to fall in love with my body the way it is. I even noticed that by me being so comfortable in my own skin other people treated me differently, I looked happier in my pictures, I enjoyed my meals on holiday, and I got an ALL OVER tan .

My weight or my appearance was last of my insecurities and I am really proud of that ... its been a long time.

I am now trying Slimming World again, not out of desperation, but out of choice to eat healthier, look better, feel better and have a plan that will keep me on track. I feel so relaxed about it all this time and determined to take it slowly realistically and enjoy losing weight.

So here goes...

11:00 My breakfast was amazing but the granola is so high in syns will have to find a lower alternative... such a lovely breakfast idea
14:30 Was worried half a tin of soup would not be filling but I'm struggling to get through it! I'm going to have to learn to make a free version myself it is lovely
15:30 Something else I have noticed ... my coffee tastes so much better with skimmed milk #result
20:00 Just had a lovely dinner! I am nice and full! I deserved that after doing a Tesco shop at dinner time (never again) I wanted to buy the whole shop and craved EVERYTHING got away with just giving into a pack of Velvet Crunch at 4 syns bringing me over my daily allowance! If I had done what I really wanted to do O would have gone over my weekly allowance easily!

Salad with Kraft Fat free Salad Dressing

Dinner: BBQ Meat

13:00 Secret Syns- The syns that I tell myself don't matter and that won't make a difference as long as I stick to the rest of the plan. Therefore they don't need writing down and we can all forget about them!
NOT THIS TIME. I am now creating a secret syn section on my food page to catch these little pests haha

Secret Syns:
100ml worth of swigs of Tesco Tropical juice with my tablets this morning (2.5 syns)
The pack of Belvita Honey and nut biscuits I found in my draw at work that I had about 2 hours after breakfast (12 syns)

 

[fingers crossed]

Love your attitude! Can you send some my way please?!?

Good luck with the plan, writing things down really does help.

 

[Missjlouise]

Thank you ...it really does help! One step at a time do you have a weight loss/food diary on here?
LOL@ are we slim yet ahahah

 

[fingers crossed]

Grrr my computer just rebooted and ate my response!!

I used to have a diary but it was full of misery so I decided not to resurrect it. Plus I ended it one stone above target and now I'm five!!! I'm an online member so do write down on there what I'm eating, before I eat it, just to keep things in check.

Your granola issue- I sometimes have all bran golden crunch as a HEB. You don't get much for 30g but its really good with fruit and yogurt.

 

[Missjlouise]

Ooooh thank you ... I'm going to look for that on my way home

I have a few abandoned misery diaries floating around this site and the rest of cyber space. It's just about taking it one day at a time, you have to be ready in your mind I think otherwise it is a waste of energy.

WOW 4 stone that is amazing...at least you know it is possible and how to avoid putting it back this time round

I have just eaten 4 belvita honey and nut biscuits and told my self they didn't matter! I know when I mean business because I am now creating another tab to my diary called secret syns... that way I am STILL in control haha

ooooops.....

3 bbq's , 1 cocktail night and a very very creamy poatato salad later, i have well and truely failed this weekend

I have come to the conclusion that the first week is essentially a practice week

I have practiced, I have got my menu organised, and I have got the ' I WANT it NOW attitude' out my system.

Today is my very serious and practical start for my 1st week

Here to subscribe! You have a fab attitude which I love! Organisation is definitely key! Good Luck! Will be reading xx

 

[Missjlouise]

So yesterday I found this



Thought it would be nice with this



Added some strawberries to make this



It was such a good idea and I really thought it could replace my love for granola with yogurt and fruit but the banana and custard muller is far too sweet and the All Bran tasted of cardboard

I then thought it would be a good idea to try whisking 2 bananas and 2 eggs to make pancakes .... that tastes like fried syrup

I should really just stick to experimenting with savory

I have NOT had a good start to the day

I love those Hoops and Crosses! Good job on the no secret syns

 

[Missjlouise]

I was so happy when I found them because they were my answer to beef monster munch! But then I end up eating 2-3 bags which defeats the object! Not sure why I am finding it so difficult to stick to plan
