Hey all
I've been doing SW off and on since Jan (and have done it previously). I keep losing the same half a stone and putting it back on :sigh:
Every Monday I am 100% committed, but then something crops up midweek and I go off plan, and then I think sod it I've ruined this week so might as well have a huge blow out :cry:
I really really want to lose weight,and I know SW will work if I stick at it.
I have a gym membership which some weeks I use 3-4 times a week, but then other weeks I don't go at all!
I have no idea what (apart from lack of willpower) is making me lose my way every week/day.
I do SW myself as can't afford classes and the gym, plus I can't make the local class times at least one a month due to work. I'm a youth worker, so do lots of outdoor pursuits etc and need energy from food.
I do green days only cos I'm veggie.
I start off well, and make nice big salads with pasta/rice/couscous/hard boiled eggs to take to work, with some syn free lentil pie and fruit. I always pack an Alpen Light or 2 to have in an emergency when I'm peckish.
I love to cook and always cook from scratch. I do eat out once a week with friends, and if I can't have a low syn option I have a flexi syn day. I cook low syn versions of my fav foods like pizza so it's not like I go without. I batch cook so I always have SW friendly stuff in freezer.
I do find my job tiring at times (I look after 15 troubled teens daily doing education/outdoor stuff, plus drive them round in a minibus) and some days I just want to come home and do nothing which means I don't use my gym membership on these days.
Sorry I know I'm rambling but I just need to get this all down so that I can try and find out what is stopping me and give me a huge kick up the butt so that I can do this!
