Oh there's another thought, how come life sometimes just seems to get in the way, right, well you just watch me this time I am going to do it. I have been racking my brains all morning to try and figure out how I get cracking on the diet and enjoy life as well, maybe you can't maybe you have to rain it in abit......
So i could either be miserable and go for a begrudge curry and try to sick to diet and fall of the wagon because its not fair I can't have my curry and eat it, or I can allow myself a break and and realise that sometimes in life there is a blip and you get on with it.
So the plan, have my curry and a few drinks almost like a send off to the old ways and in the morning wake up afresh and really get stuck into the diet, might even get myself to the gym - lets not go too mad shall we
I am also going to meal plan for the week.....
Oh watch this space, i think the cogs are beginning to turn and the gears are beginning to shift:o

Shall be back later with a meal plan,

Thanks for letting me rant

I think with any diet you can only ever do it properly when you're in the right frame of mind.....thats why ive tried and failed loads of times lol

But I guess there comes a time when you get your 'lightbulb moment' where it suddenly hits you and I know in my case Im kind of tunnel vision at the mo and real determined to do it this time (instead of losing a bit then putting it back on then a whole heap more :rotfl:)

This time I want the weight loss! ....I want it more than I want the takeaway curry....or the sainsbury tiramisu and a pot of extra thick double cream while watching telly followed by a whole family bar of dairymilk I used to think eating it made me feel happy....but it made me feel crappy

I used to think I couldnt go out for a meal with friends without blowing it all .....so I either had to be a recluse or sod the diet off and pig out on terrible stuff, but I now know I dont have to do that cos Ive changed the way I think I might make different choices in the meal...I might not have the naan bread Id have rice instead and know that thats filling and free on EE but its saved some syns for that glass of wine

So dont be throwing the towel in straight away red;) I always used to say Oh il start tomorrow....tomorrow....tommorow LOL you can still have your curry night within plan.....just tweak your choices hun x

Morning everyone,

Well i've just caught up with you all then got distracted by MrS delivery, so congrats on the losses, hello to all the new starters and Dizzy i'm glad you're feeling better x

I'm having a few bad days, i was stuck at home y'day due to a parcel delivery and i couldnt stop eating the devil bread that I knew was in my freezer!! it was calling to me, so i ended up having 2 ciabatta rolls(one stacked with bacon.mmmmmmm).. i have no idea of syns and i don't think i want to. also been having quite a lot of ryvita..

Trying to move on today but i'm once again stuck at home this morning, but i'm off to Ikea later so i'll hopefully burn some calories walking round there..:T

Red day menu
B - sausage sandwich (1 & HEB)
L - not going to bother as late brekkie
T - mixed grill - sausages (1) gammon, eggs, Chicken, jacket potato (HEB) cheese(HEA)
S - milk in tea(HEA) lemon and coconut cake (6ish)

Just made the lemon and coconut cake.. it's smells lovely and only 16 syns for the whole cake..

well i'm going to try and be better today and tomorrow but i know i'll have put some weight on for weigh in on Sunday - i'm very disappointed in myself

i enjoy farting,eating hot curry and i'm happy to go to the tip with the garden rubbish,not lady-like behaviour i'm sure you'll agree,and Eastenders??? what IS all that about?

Thanks for that post, it made me laugh out loud!! You sound just like my Sister :rotfl:
Thanks also for the Sainsbug basics info - we only have a Sainsbugs Local so I'm not sure how much basics stuff they stock but I'll have a look. I'm willing to try any cheapie range to save money, unlike hubby who likes his branded stuff!!

B - strawbs, banana & onken yog
L - pasta, couscous (0.5 syn), light cheese triangles (HEA), tuna, onion, black pepper concoction and HM soup

I actually enjoy the healthier stuff like nice fruit salads more than the pizza etc but we are brainwashed to think that the bad stuff makes us happier! My problem is mostly laziness, I made chicken curry the other night which was completely free and it wasn't very difficult, I just prefer to pick up the telephone and get someone else to do it

ok i shall share a secret with you,if you buy a couple of tins of branded beans etc,leave them at the front of the cupboard and then stash a couple of cheap tins at the back of the cupboard,feed him the cheap tins and when he looks in the cupboard he won't realise what he's eating and its money in your pocket,ker ching!! :money:

So today -

Breakfast Yoghurt and a banana and a coffee

Lunch Quorn burger(2.5) and a WM roll(HeB), ketchup (1) and a little cheese (1/2 HeA).

Have made my pasta to take to work later with the rest of my HeA cheese.

Hi all,

Hope everyone is well and keeping the fairies at bay!

Today is another EE day for me:

Breakfast: Weetabix (heb), soya milk (hea) and an apple.

Snack: Grapes.

Lunch: Minestrone Mugshot, Tomatoes (x4), 2 plums, strawberries and raspberries.

Dinner: Think it's spaghetti and meatballs tonight - well that's what it said on the fridge when i left for work this morning. Sauce will incorporate shed loads of veg as per usual

No syns so far and none 'planned' but i might have 2 rice cakes and humous for tea if i get hungry again after dinner.

Well done to the losers, *positive vibes* to those who need them for whatever reason and ((hugs)) for the poorlies amongst us.

Dizzyk, Thank You, Thank you, Thank you

Until, I read your reply I was ready to blow the whole day away, I was going out on lunch to subway and having a full fat full on sub with all the trimmings and then drink what I like and eat all the curry I could, but you are sooo right.
And because of you I am now sat eating a chicken salad with light dressing and i am throughly enjoying it and when I go to the pub I shall be having either gin or vodka with a diet mixer or maybe even a diet coke, and I may have a dry chicken tikka - not sure on syns for that as its a dry dish so no sauce and if no sauce no need for naan bread or rice.....:cool:

So with everything and good choices I have managed to get my syns down to about 34 (giving a few extra here and there just to be on the safe side), which is flexi syn do able, I will be having a healthy day tomorrow, lots of free foods and I can have those syns almost made up tomorrow.....

Dizzyk, any chance you could become my unofficial guru
