As a long time binger I find that the only way that I can control those urges is not to have the temptation in the house. I do keepa pack of Curlywurlies in the freezer but then I have to go out to the shed in the garden to get one as thats where that freezer lives, this miserable weather means Iput that trip off 'until it stops raining' usually by that time the urge has gone off ;D
With three grandchildren I have to keep a 'goodie box' in but I would feel soooo guilty if I stole their treats so that keeps me on the straight and narrow there.
Its difficult when you have such an unhealthy relationship with food I know, I speak from loooong experience, you can overcome it, but support from family, friends, here, really does make a difference.

Thanks so much Sherlan! it is tricky isn't it? you do well not to eat your grandchildren's treats! I'm at my parent's house for the summer (on break from university) but I've asked my Dad to hide all the chocolate and I've been much better this week! Do you have a food diary? I'll have a look for inspiration! xxx

[Amelie24]

Oh & it's weigh-in tomorrow! I usually eat very little before the meeting & am really hoping they'll have Hifi rocky roads again xx

 

[Amelie24]

26th June: I am craving doughuts really badly just now! luckily it's 11.30 and there are none in the house but I can't stop thinking about fooooood! :s

27th: In the end I had the crusts of a piece of wholemeal bread dipped in olive oil & balsamic vinegar and some omega 3 tablets to stop me from craving fat!

 

[Amelie24]

Wednesday: weigh-in day

Unfortunately I've got into a bad habit of barely eating on weigh-in day because I didn't eat much on the 1st wed and then didn't want to put on liquid weight at the next one. I try to have very little weight of food until weigh-in at 6pm and then come home and have a big evening meal with dessert and some snacks!

I'm also not counting the syns for my coffee and meringue this morning because I'm going to jog for at least 20 minutes which would burn those calories and I want more syns for dinner!

Green day
Breakfast: Coffee with sugar
Lunch: A meringue and some diet coke
6pm: Weigh-in
Dinner: Main course: 3 meat-free burgers (need to look up syns) with 2 buns (Healthy extra Bs - 1 & 2) with sauce (3 syns). Wedges and Salad.
Dessert: Two glasses of chocolate milkshake (Nesquik= 6 syns & milk= 2 HE-As) and a chocolate lolly (7 syns),

Snacks: - 2 x Activia 0% vanilla yoghurt (free)
- Strawberries
- A banana
- A meringue (3 syns)

Good luck lovely! hope it goes well xx

 

[babybuffy84]

Good luck lovely! hope it goes well xx

Maintained this week bit disappointed how did you get on x

 

[Amelie24]

Aw you were good this week though so perhaps you'll lose more next week?, also if you had much fruit or fluid then that will add liquid weight- just a pint of water adds a whole pound for about an hour.

I lost a few pounds so I'm happy about that, but have had a lot of syns in the end today (19+!). As well as my two milkshakes, burgers in baps etc (with lots of ketchup!), I've had a third burger, a banana, a Thorntons chocolate lolly, 2 activia 0% and another meringue! Oh well.

Are you working tomorrow? xx

 

[Amelie24]

Plan for tomorrow - Green

Breakfast: Cinammon French toast (HE-B-1) with a little honey. A tangerine and glass of juice (3 syns).

Lunch: Baked potato with (25g) cheese (1-HE-A) OR tuna (HE-B-2), salad and a bowl of vegetable soup (3 syns)

Potential Snacks: An apple and/or banana, an Activia 0% and glass of milk (2nd-HE-A1)

Dinner: TBC

Aww poor you, hope it seems to go quickly today! The charity walk sounds fun! is it a late night one?

Thanks I'll ignore my treats yesterday lol! I haven't felt like eating until now so I think I might make Cinammon french toast into brunch instead and have a couple of pieces for my 2 healthy Bs.

Hope you have a good day xx

 

[sherlann]

I make a cinnamon french toast for breakfast one day a week, I feel so decadent eating it with fresh strawbs or rasps on the side. ;D I substitute maple syrup 2syns for honey, as I prefer the taste.
