I've been doing really well on SW so far but, inevitably, my weight loss has started to slow. I fully expected this as it's happened on every single diet I've done to date! However, this time I'm prepared for it and I'm not letting it get to me! I vowed when I started that when the slow down begins I'll keep a food diary in order to see what I'm doing right and where I could improve. Of course, any advice is very much welcomed!

Wk1 6lbs
Wk2 6lbs
Wk3 4lbs
Wk4 2lbs.

So tonight I'll post what I've had today and hope to do the same each day. Wish me luck!
 
I've a spare five minutes so here's today's diary. I'll just make sure I don't sway from what I've written down!

Breakfast
Omelette made with 2 eggs, 2 shallots, teaspoon sweetener, splash balsamic vinegar a slice of ham and parmesan cheese (hex a)

Lunch
Homemade lentil and veg soup
2 alpen light cherry bakewell (hex b)
Large orange.

Snack
Banana

Dinner
2 linda McCartney rosemary and red onion sausages
Half tin of beans
Warburtons sandwich thin (6syns)
Quarter of a honeydew melon

Snack
Pack of 65 calorie crisps (3.5 syns)
Curly wurly (6 syns)

Total of 15.5 syns. Oops. I'll need to give my husband a bite of my curly wurly ;)

I'm aware I've not included speed veg but I've nothing in my fridge, hence the strange dinner choice! I'll be at the shops tomorrow. Will do better!
 
You've done better than I did in my first month. I rarely loose more than 1lb a week, I've just had to learn to live with it, a lb down is still going down even if it will take 2 1/2 yrs to get to target
 
I think the trick is accepting it. I hope that by recognising my bingeing triggers and accepting the diet no quick fix, I'll be able to move forward all the time. Even if it is just half a pound a week!
 
Phew! What a hectic morning I've had! School runs, the big shop done, helping in school and now home to sit and have some lunch.

Today's food will be:
Breakfast
Muller light peanut and caramel (amazing!)
2 slices thin ham
Handful of fresh raspberries

Lunch
Bowl of homemade lentil and veg soup
2 small wholemeal slices of bread (hexb)
2 laughing cow light triangles (hexa)
Apple

Dinner
Pizza topped chicken - sw recipe
Sweet potato wedges
Frozen yoghurt ice lolly (4syns?)

Snacks
Curly wurly 6 syns
61 calorie crisps 3 syns

Totals 13 syns. Though I think I'll have to syn my laughing cow since there is cheese on my chicken pizza. 4 syns maybe?

So super annoyed with myself. :mad:
My OH went out for a game of snooker at 1oclock. He was supposed to be back to have tea with the kids and I.... he arrived home in a very sorry state at half 10!! Anyway, I did well and stuck to plan until the minute the kids were tucked up in bed...then I blew it! As I've said before, being alone is my major trigger for binge eating but recently I've been able to manage it. I think tonight I struggled because it wasn't expected plus I was in a terrible mood by then. So I need to add a knickerbocker glory ice cream cone, a packet of crisps, white bread and butter and an alpen light bar. Not good....
I've taken myself off to bed in the hope that the man person falls asleep in a drunken state on the couch and wakes up cold with a crick in his neck :p
Serves him right!
 
So last night's binge has left me feeling guilty today. I'm completely disorganised and forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer again! I'm in danger of over compensating for yesterday so I'm making an extra effort to be good!

Breakfast
Banana
Muller light

Lunch
Chicken noodle mugshot
Light cottage cheese
3 slices thin ham
Tomatoes
Apple
Alpen light jaffa (1/2 hexb)

Dinner
Omelette of 3 eggs, shallots, brocolli, balsamic vinegar, 30g cheddar (hexa), side salad.

Snacks
61 calorie bag of crisps (3syns)

Total of 3 syns today.
