ProPoints Nessa's pro points diary

Hi lady - i'd go for it when you're out with your family! As the girls have said already, WW is about fitting things into your lifestyle. If you don't allow yourself to live, you will lose the plot and binge and feel extra guilty after. Use up your weeklies and even add some mor to your AP and you'll have had a great night and have no guilt! Even if you go over by a bit, at least you had a great night out and that that positivity will boost you on to your final goal.

As for your night out - YAY! You'll be stunning in a dress and with your new shape, you can try on things that you may not have gone for before and wait till you see, you'll love it! xxx

Morning everyone, hope you are all well. I'm very excited my mummy in-law is in Plymouth for the weekend (only 30min drive from us!) she was missing us and needed a break from work.
So tomorrow evening we are all off to table table for a meal and my parents are coming too so I'm really looking forward to it. Not sure what to have though, I'm heading for another STS this week (which I will be chuffed with after my binge weekend in London) but if I have another day off plan I don't want to STS again next week. Decisions!! I really want sticky chicken and ribs combo but its about 1500 calories lol but we never all get to go out together what with my parents down here and hubby's mum up in London so I think I should just have what I want and enjoy it but at the same time it's only food so even if I get a caesar salad I will still have a good time.
What would you do?! Xx

I would defo order anything I wanted! It's a one off.

Hi Nessa - hope you're well and still powering on!

Re your question... I have a different point of view. Yes, I'd go out and enjoy myself but no, I wouldn't eat a meal containing 1500 calories. Life absolutely is for living...and there is more chance of living life well when we make sensible choices. I suppose I just viewed my weight loss journey as a straight road ahead of me. 1500 calorie meals would take me off on a scenic route and I prefer to get the job done...and only then can I take in the scenery.

Even now, at 9 stone 8lb, I have finally come to realise that this is the way I will always have to eat to maintain. I ate home made pizza last night and two squares of chocolate. I enjoyed it. Today I have eaten 'lighter' foods and will ensure that my calories for the day do not top 1400 ish... I finally understand that yes, I can now have treats but in moderation and then, I need to redress the balance slightly once i have treated myself one day.

So... a long winded way of saying... have the caeser salad! Do the ribs mean so much that you'll take a STS next week and have to re double efforts throughout the week? Probably not.

However, this is just my take. Enjoy, enjoy whatever you choose

Very well said n I agree 110%
Healthy doesn't hav to b boring r not tasty... But 1500 cals for 1 meal is beyond ridiculous... (Says her who drank prob double that on Thursday night)

 

[GretaGrip]

Ha - yes, I have , on many occasions, eaten 1500 calories in a trifle or cake. Both a weakness of mine : )

I suppose I see weight loss/diets as having to make sacrifices. I didn't want to be fat anymore so chose a quick a route as possible. No sweets, snacks or takeaways. Boring but it was worth it

I admire your attitude and determination!!!! I wish I could have that mentality......but as soon as I say I am on a diet and I can't have something I want it!!!! That's why ww is good for me 1500 is a lot for a meal but I know I could have that meal if I so wish and still lose weight.....I prob would not pick it as the thought of only eating a fruit salad for brekkie and a point free soup for lunch is not for me.... But I love the fact I have the choice....also I have to get into my head this is now the way I have to eat for life x and as I have loads of weight to lose, it going to take a hellish long time to get there, so if a treat keeps me on track that has to be the healthier option in the long term xxxx

 

[GretaGrip]

Sharx - good luck with it all. See, my view on 'treats ' was different. It was my love of treats that got me to 15 stone 3lbs in the first place : ) I was very fond of cake, cheese, kettle chips and pizza. I would eat compulsively < not emotionally > and rarely eat proper meals - just a steady stream of snacky things. I'd eat whole pots of ice cream, whole trifles... disgusting really.

So I suppose when I decided to become slim I decided that some deprivation was called for. I have no 'off' button, so am unable to just have one slice of cake or 6 kettle chips. This being the case, I avoid these 'trigger' foods. I am also working very hard on not 'writing off whole days because I've eaten a calorific lunch... ' if that makes sense? So, last week I had lunch in the pub - I had a cheese sandwich and fries. I worked on doing things differently...I deliberately stopped eating when I felt satisfied and I just had a very light healthy snack later on that evening when I felt hungry. The old me would have spent the rest of the day stuff because ' well, I ate cheese and fries.. I've wrecked the day! '

The realisation of the above is going to be crucial to me staying 9 stone. So, yes i have determination and willpower but more importantly, it is the fear of becoming the weight I was that keeps me on the straight and narrow. I was having weight related health issues- nothing major, but my knees sometimes hurt and i would get heartburn. I didn't want weight related issues!

Anyway I'm rambling now! We all do it differently but I took a tough approach for myself because I wasn't being a slave to my crazy eating habits any longer!
