My 'Slowly but Surely' Diary

[-Laura-]

Awww nooo, your day started off so well! Hope you have an easier time keeping on track today - I'm sure you'll be kicking yourself for a good couple of weeks over this one! The drinks totally attacked you yesterday, just like the fried foods totally attacked me on Friday however, since then, I have only had 6.5 syns and feel all the more better for it. You know you can pull it all back, you've done it before! xxxxxxxxxx

Ayee.. I was out with another mate who's doing SW, all the way home we kept telling each other that we have to remember that we had an awesome night, and when we gain and get asked in class we just say 'yeah, we went out, got battered, and we bloody loved it!' Alcohol is pretty much the worst thing I can have, just goes straight on.. probably why I ended up needing SW in the first place!

Never mind, it'll come off for us both - marathon not a sprint, and you can't give up living!

It could have been worse, but atleast you know where it came from? Don't be :break_diet:, be :newbie: again and do everything 100% right like your first week, it should kickstart you and remotivate you I told my mum if I didn't lose more than 1lb this week, I would eat nothing but vegetables for a week

Oh my life I won't be going that far!!

Thanks for that Felt really down when I left the meeting! Wasn't at my usual group and they weren't as chatty and friendly as my usual group, even my C didn't seem as upbeat as usual, so don't really feel like I got much support there!

You're right, I just need to refocus myself. I've had a really good summer and going back to studying gives me the perfect excuse to go back off track - I just need to make sure it doesn't happen!!
