Hey everyone.
Hope i'm doing this right.
I'm at that week where i'm no longer allowed a food diary. SCARY and exciting. However, the first day i found myself trawling the internet to find one as i became so very paranoid that i would be missing out the vital syns. I'm also a self diagnosed control freak, so it became paramount that to suceed i needed to write everything down that i've eaten... Oh dear.
I've hit my half a stone award over the past 4 weeks and have found the whole plan enjoyable. I am currently missing my pizza and cheese but i have agreed to give these kind of things up till i reach my target weight so i can start introducing them slowly to maintain. Being the size of a munchkin, i was happiest at 9st. Recently, i feel like i have been growing width ways instead of height ways, and joined my nearest slimming world. I am amazed at how much my confidence has grown in such a small amount of time. I can't imagine how i will feel over the next two months. I'd much rather keep this feeling then cave in for the sake of a large dominos pizza (though, the odd one won't hurt).
My story has not been straight forward, however. I lost 2.5lbs in the first week and put it on in the 2nd. Ready to give up, i sat and thought its a bad week and its going to happen. In fact it wasn't a bad week, it was my brothers 21st (a meal and night out) followed by my cousins 1st (a meal and wetting the babies head night out, not with baby mind) and my dads 50th (a meal and a night out) so i think i did well considering what i ate.
I have learnt so far that if i do well within the week i can go out Saturday for a nice meal with the other half, or for a wine binge with the girls and still lose. This is the most enjoyable thing for me, as i wanted something i could incorporate within my life and be realistic about. I live in Wales but i'm originally from Dudley. When i visit home which is often, our family always goes out for food. I have adapted this eating out one night a week rule from such a young age that it's hard to give up (not hard, i just don't want too).
Alas, i will shut up and get to the point of the food diary - what i have eaten. I am still new so any advice tips would be great. I am always willing to take advice on board and from what i have read so far, i am in the right place to get that advice.

I try and stick to 6 syns and below. But i've noticed my weight has started to STS more now and don't know whether to try and up my syns and super free foods? I hate eating fruit as it is, but i'm getting used to it more now so maybe introducing more will help weight loss.
I don't know. Speak to you all tomorrow
