Hiya u can do this!!!
Count up the syns of your wee extras and youll be okay. I give myself 70 syns per week and just subtract them as I use them

 

[doratheexplora]

don't think by have some flapjack you have blown it, take a look at the bigger picture over the week. You will get there if you cut out all these snacks and chocs altogether, then eventually you will crack and end up eating loads and really having a pig out.

Do you make your own hummus? x

 

[Charisma]

the point of the plan is that you can have small amounts of stuff you like. like chocolate

 

[nina]

Thanks everyone for your encouragement!

Thank you all for your words of encouragement...today was a better day...

and yes, charisma, thats why i like SW -- I can have chocolate and not feel entirely guilty!

flapjacks definately can't be used as a healthy extra. they're normally bound together using margerine/butter and contain sugar/syrup. try looking up shop bought ones for rough sin values.

no nina i don't make my own hummus but would like to, how do you make it please ta x

 

[mod-karen79]

i wanna make my own houmous too. i ate some normal houmous last night and it was 8 sins, which is annoying when i know i could make it for free!

Hummus Recipe

blend 2-3 tins chick peas with half head of peeled garlic, and juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 teaspn of cumin, 1/2 teaspn salt (more if u like salt!) and 2 tspn of tahina (OPTIONAL cuz it just gives it an autnentic taste!)

as its whizzing around, you can drizzle water (or a mixture of olive oil and water) and it will make the hummus creamier

I do the same with fava beans -- an egyptian recipe -- and its delish!
