Would it be so bad.....?

[jessabelle]

....If i ate a second penguin bar? lol. I know its not the end of the world but i know i would feel better if i didn't. But i want one!! x

 

[jessabelle]

Is it the last one in the house? Then go for it, walk an extra mile tomorrow!

No! Theres a whole packet of them! They are the wafer version though so less calories and syns. See how im trying to justify it? hehe x

 

[cocktailprincess]

Have it, syn it, move on....

If you deny yourself something you REALLY want, you will end up eating 4

Go for it, mate.

 

[sugar_lipswales]

Ah, calorific bargaining! If you really really really want it, if you simply could not live without another penguin bar then go for it and cut back on the same amount of syns in it tomorrow. Thats how I justify my little slip ups lol

 

[jessabelle]

i think im going to be good. And eat the last few of my laughing cow HEA instead. Not as chocolatey though

 

[kazpeza]

i say if you have the syns then go for it if not then dont other wise you mite get into the habit of borrowing from tomorrow all the time instead of learning to have a little bit

Thats what im thinking. I used to snack all the time and its a habit im trying to stop. And i know i'll feel so much better in the morning if i don't have it! x

 

[kazpeza]

Call me a hippy - which most people do, but when I started SW again, I did this mind control thing. I sat down with some funky music on and imagined all the lovely things that were making me fat, subway, cream cakes, chocolate, crisps etc and I imagined them all on a table ready to eat, I then poured bleach all over them and stepped away. Then I took a black bag, put everything in the bag and took it to the wheelie bin, put all the junk in the bin and walked back into the house and grabbed an apple. Then I opened my eyes and felt much better.

Now if I feel the need for anything that I know will make me feel worse, and it's in the house, I either see if someone else wants it, or I litterally cover it in bleech and put it in the wheelie bin, a waste I know, but you can't argue with 38lbs in 8 weeks!

When I'm in the grip of a choc craving and it's whispering saucily to me 'eat meeee!' I try (with varying levels of success) to transfer that lust to something else. I'll either go google a pic of Gerard Butler shirtless, or I'll go to www.missselfridge.co.uk and look at the pretty summer dresses. I prefer naked men, though - they're less expensive!

Only other tip I have is just to unclench the gut. Ever notice how when you're anticipating/craving food you suddenly tense up, ready for action? Your whole posture gets more rigid, your stomach is tensed up, and you're poised to launch your assault on the cupboards. Just taking a big breath, closing the eyes, and letting all those muscles relax can help. Then have a nice couple of glasses of some sweet tasting drink - Robinson's sugarfree Orange & Mango has a gorgeous flavour and can really knock a sweet craving on the head!
