Well done everyone! Anyone who slipped up his week, it's a brand new day today

Even though I lost 4lb this week, I still feel like that was more luck than judgement - on a few of the days I ate far more than I should have, and didn't exactly make the best choices! I'm feeling like everything's slipping out of control again.I was following the flylady thread, and my house was looking so very tidy, but then a weekend with the children just at home, and a few days of slacking off and it's back to square one again, and it's almost too depressing to start again!

I think I need to have breakfast and then make a list..

Betty: Have you tried not following any plan? Just going out there exercising and eating less? I just think if you constantly have to start a new way of eating then theres something not right in the first place?

the thing is, I can't count the times I have said to myself that I can just eat well and do exercise and control my own weight loss, but as soon as I have no strict 'plan' I seem to lose all willpower - the way I've put it before is that I have a very easy time breaking my own rules, so something like SW is good for me as it helps me reign in my eating habits and makes me realise I have to be accountable for what goes in my gob!
the only time it's gone wrong is when i've got bored and thought 'i dont need this, I can just eat healthily anyway' and it's NEVER worked and i've always gained.
It's shameful to behave like I do with no self control but hey if SW gives me some structure and actuaklly works then I'm a fool for not sticking with it 100% - But I will I know I will I have to give my self the tools to take control and SW is one of those tools.

Did Davina DVD last night - only half an hour but only cos i finished work late. Still pleased with myself tho - good start to the week!!

Fred - thanks for the chart. I noticed i'm not on the chart this week which is fine cos I have not posted a loss, but can I juist check I have been reset to the start again? I am literally starting again and will post a result next weds. thanks!

Victory - still thinking of you, hope you are coping.
hopefully ur son's passport should be fine spain is in the EU after all so less strict i think.... My bro went to Egypt on a nearly expired passport recently - they tried to say something but he was like 'what else can i do?!' and they just let him through!

I'm exactly the same, I can't seem to stick to just eating healthily and exercising without knowing that someone will be checking up on me, and that I'll have to admit any weight gains. I did really well through January, but that was more a by product of watching our spending habits, cooking from scratch and avoiding expensive 'junk'. So far this month I've lost a bit of weight, but I feel utterly unfocused, and I know that if I don't nip it in the bud now I'll be posting up weight regains plus a few pounds in a couple of weeks!

I think I'm going to try pointing for a while and see how it goes. If SW works for you, it's not shameful, just sensible

Good luck with this week!

Thanks sgtg - i dont think SW is shameful, it's the way i behave without a plan that i am ashamed of - i lose all focus and go crazy like the cookie monster or something, no control, no willpower, disgraceful.
I also have to save money, so hopefully that'll help it (ah the good old 'can't afford it' diet!)

Just put on a pair of jeans I haven't worn in a while and couldn't do them up they used to be snug but still comfortable, that's the extra 1/2 stone (used to be 10,6, now 11 st) showing - i dont even know how it got there really I just know i want it gone!!

Have suggested to OH we play squash at the weekend if it's raining, and a bike ride if it's sunny -either way I need to get some exercise!!

the next few days are going to be hard - friday i'm meeting old friends for dinner and cocktails.... dinner will be ok i can have chicken / prawn noodle soup cos we are going to a vietnamese place, but the cocktails will be calorific! (and synful!!)

the the next obstacle is Sat night - going to a friend's house. Prob having chinese which is not too bad SW syns-wise, just need to have something like chicken in black bean and plain boiled rice. And try not to drink! (will have to lie and say it's cos of a headache or something!)

then Valentines day on Monday OH wants beef wellington and creamy potato daupheniose from tesco but I am going to try to change his mind and make a lean steak and chips (hm, not shop bought) and do a muller light banoffee pie for afters!!

I really hope i can do it this year feels like it should be my year for success you know, but I hated not getting into those jeans it was like a punch in the stomach.

Hey betty, i know what you mean about this being the final shot. What is it about turning 25 this year? I feel exactly the same! You will do it, just like i will. I'm finding it mega tough at the moment I had sausage and chips for lunch, i ordered a childs portion but it was just as big as i normally have! I have a salad for tonight, and im getting hungry now but i want to hold on a bit because i don't think that salad will be overly filling!

I think you have to cling on to the positives alot. I find that if i weigh myself and its bad, or ive eaten something bad i chuck in the towel too early and then think "sod it" and eat more. If i'm feeling thin and have done well i tend to do better all round. Start a fresh and pretened this never happened!!
