Sandy and Marie - do you know, I think you both are dead right - especially that point about your goal for your parents anniversary Sandy - You could not be any other way than amazingly proud of all you have achieved yet I can completely see how that goal of loosing x amount before a date would make you focus on failing rather than all you were achieving.
Yep, Im convinced - Im gonna change them now. I know I still have a date but thats my wedding day and Im sure almost 7 months is plently of time to loose just over a stone and a half (never thought I would be saying that!!)
Thanks so much for the advice girls, and for taking the time to think about it for me xxxxxxx
So, I think Ive been fairly good - Im paying back the pizza by saving 4 tonight as planned. I have 2.5 left that I can eat (leaving the 4points to pay back) so am going to have half a bag of kelkin low fat (microwave) popcorn later - a huge bowl and will keep me munching for a good while so wont feel deprived.
So, was thinking today - I might start putting up on here what I eat each day. Although it will be embarrasing (the AMOUNT of CRAP I eat) the reasoning behind it was so "newcomers" could have a look, if not very certain of points amounts in things and get a few ideas. Ive been doing this for so long now Ive discovered some yummy stuff so am thinking it may help out?? - (even though I tend to eat the same things for a week or two, get bored with that go on to something else soooo it may seem very repetitive) it will also help me stick to it as Im showing myself up if I dont
good/bad idea?
