Haha Anne that has just cracked me up!!! How hilarious! I have done weight watchers for the last 8 years on and off but I just used to use all my points up on wine chips baguettes and cakes so I would be absolutely starving the whole time and then end up caving to a cheeseburger or a massive roast every time I was hungover! As hard as not drinking wine is for me it seems to be working amazingly well for me- the all or nothing approach is definitely the way forward! Just think keeping it off when I stop is going to be the hardest bit!!! Xx

Oh don't worry about that- I caved a couple of weeks ago at a work meal and got completely pissed. So long as you get back on it straight away you'll be fine! Don't worry if you eat something just try and avoid carbs if you do! You will get there eventually 
I found once I could have the bars it all got a lot easier! Now I have 2 lemon yogurt bars, one tetra and a small salad each day and feel tons better than the first couple if weeks. Do you have family? I always think that makes it a lot harder. I live on my own (well just with 1 flat mate) so has been fairly easy to clear out the temptations! Xxx

Well i avoided the roast dinner i cooked today, smelt loveley,,,, but hanging my head in shame ,,, drank a whole bottle of red , and 2 bottles of bud and half a large bag of doritos last night ,,,, really pissed off with myself !!!!! So today i have done the walk of shame ,,,, bloody hell i never cheated the first time round and to add insult to injury this is my first week , really wanted 5-7lbs off ,,,,,, will be lucky if its 2-3 lbs ,,,,,,,, bad start , must try harder !!! Weigh in is tue !
I "cheated" last night... I was nibbling extra cottage cheese...so badass lmao
Luckily I'm not a drinker so the no alcohol thing is a non issue to me. The kid's food isn't that tempting either. I know my main stumbling blocks will be cheating within the allowed foods list (ie having more than I should). Meh.
I found on ww I was sensible, I mean I treated etc but didn't go crazy, plus I always had free soup available. Going to try and make chicken n leek soup this week, if that works out I will probs make it a lot and have it throughout the day. Will report back to you all on that one.
How about we all try for a 100% week? Everyone get back on track and push it. No sneaky serial weigh ins, just get on with it?

Never give up
No way I could go all week with not weighing myself, it's as automatic as showering!! Lol. I'm hoping to stay focused this week, I've got a mini deadline of this dam wedding in two weeks time so it's giving me something to aim for.
Think the challenge of a whole week with mo cheating might be good!! x

On a bit of a downer today, I have nothing in my wardrobe except leggins that I can wear. So p##sed off with myself for allowing this to happen. Why do I never learn? I've got another stone and half to lose just to get myself back to the starting position of jan last year. Ffs, that's before the proper diet even starts!! Instead of this realisation spurring me on it just makes me want to sit on the sofa and stuff my face. :-(

Ahhh, thanks for that. Don't know what's wrong with me today, I'm really on one with myself, I'm so surprised I haven't raided the goody box of emergency chocolate in the fridge!
When I lost weight before, I kept one pair of jeans, the largest pair I've ever owned. I can now only just get in them, it's really upset me, the knowledge that I've done this to myself.
I just wish I could wake up and feel normal! X

When those jeans are loose again ,,,,, what an achievement !!!!!!don't give up , you resisted the goody jar , so there is inner strength there !!!

Ps brilliant weight loss Julie! I'm seriously debating if I can start introducing some wine back into my diet- maybe just on Friday nights- it's the hardest part for me!
