:cry:
I'm GUTTED! First week of weighing in, and I feel I've been really really good, I haven't exceeded my Syns (that I can see) and I've had mainly free foods. Done Extra Easy all week. AND I HAVE PUT ON HALF A POUND :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(
I'm a bit disappointed that I don't get feedback on the food diaries that I've (a) been brutally honest with and (b) have kept all week til I phone my consultant tomorrow. I work full time and I invested the time to go there for the hour tonight but now I've got to invest even more time tomorrow :-(
I've been eating loads of fruit, most dinners have been meat and veg of some description, lunches have been pasta n sauce for past 2 days, soup for a couple of days before that, and chicken breast (no skin) and salad before that. Drinking only diet drinks/tea/water.
My consultants first idea - in front of everyone - was "Didn't you really understand it?" which I thought wasn't great because I'm sure I've followed the plan to the letter. Maybe I haven't.
Anyway, now I'm not eligible for Slimmer of the Week next week because I've had a gain and its been a long week this week looking forward to getting weighed as it is, so motivation will be even worse next week. I'm just gutted because I was sure I'd done so well, I've been really good and exercised some strong willpower around chocolate etc (haven't had any). Unless I'm doing something wrong with the plan, I can't do anymore because I've been as good as I can be.
So can anyone spot what I've done wrong???
