Hi Take it Easy and thanks for replying.

My problem is I eat when I am bored or sad or if I'm having a bad day I will just sit and eat what I can get my hands on -whilst trying to teach my 4 year old good eating habits!!!.

Hi Diane and welcome. The beauty with this 'diet' is that it's not restrictive so if you feel you want to eat you can (just make sure it's free food). It's marvelous.. I have found over the pas couple of weeks looking back at my notebook that the weeks I eat more are my biggest weight loss weeks! :T

I have started keeping 'free' snacks in the fridge for my 'i'm bored therefore need to eat' moments.. like yesterday!

My snacks are a tub of rice cooked with veggies and a stockcube/bovril to give it some flavour. Rolls of ham sometimes filled with flavoured quark & cuc. Pasta salads, couscous made up with stock again for some flavour and chopped up cuc, tom in it. Then the staple.. yoghurts (no mullers for me, can't get them ) fruit, veggies with SW free dips. For the sweet moments... quark mixed with choc options/lemon curd/jam/yogurt and fruit (small amount of syns here tho) These you can munch on guilt free... it usually only takes a couple of gob fulls to fulfil my snack need ... unless I'm really starving then I just have my meal earlier (which are always huge)

Good luck...you can do it, there is always someone around here to talk to xx

Hi everyone I just usually lurk not post, however I joined SW about 4 weeks ago and I've already lost my motivation.

My first week I stayed the same as I couldn't get my head around the plan but years of eating junk might do that. The second week I genuinely couldn't go to meeting but since then as I haven't followed the plan I haven't gone back - daft I know.

I haven't been well the last few months as I suffer with bouts of depression which coupled with constant tiredness and no motivation doesn't help me. I know that sticking with it will really help but I'm finding it hard. Has anyone else been in the same position as me but have now got in the swing of the plan and are losing weight and feeling better.

Also I have a lot of weight to lose - about 5/6 stone - and sometimes feel I'm wasting my time and just resign myself to being overweight as I have tried so many times and failed.

Any inspirational and motivational tips most welcome and a kick up the bum as well

good luck Diane, everyone here is so supportive! x

morning all! last day of annual leave from work which i'm pretty sad about - where has this week went to?!

menu plan for the day - Extra Easy
breakfast - 3 crisprolls (HEB), danone f/f, melon
lunch - jacket spud, tinned makerel and salad
dinner - SW chilli, rice
snacks - fruit (few things nearly on the turn so have to be eaten!) s/s milk as HEA

I never really plan my syns, i'll just see how i feel during the day and adjust if needed.x

The thing about SW according to the consultant at our group is....the more you eat (especially superfree fruit/veggies)the better the plan works....so go for it you should never ever be hungry on this plan, if you are hungy then grab something thats free, some cous cous salad or whatever else takes your fancy.....theres lots of lovely tips and yummy recipes that people post on here x p.s just looked at ypur menu why dont u save some syns and use frylight to cook with???;)

TBH I don't think it looks lots... I can easily eat all that and it sounds all lovely and lots of variety which is a key in my world... I had meatballs too for tea last night....mmmm I might copy your meal plans from now on :rotfl:so remember to keep posting them

Hi turbo, i know just what you are going through, my hubby works offshore too and my youngest has been a challenge to say the least, from climbing and drawing on things to putting the phone in the fish tank and allsorts, it can be very difficult when youre on your own:cool:

Thanks I know I'm not alone. I think yesterday things just got on top of me. I had my date for pre op having op in 4 weeks and it all seems so real now.
Well done to everyone who have lost :T
