Happy mothers day to all the mothers!

Last few days have been on track for me - yippee! Also full of speed foods because that's what's left from my last shop, and there's plenty of it so I won't go shopping before that is used up.

I appear to have reached a breakthrough with syns. I haven't had chocolate for almost a week, because I thought I'd try giving it up again. Instead when I've craved sugar I've gone for weetabix out of healthy extras with sugar, or some sugar sprinkled in a free yoghurt. I don't "do" adding sweeteners to things because I think they mess your body up, but having a little sugar on something is turning out to satisfy the sweet things craving with much less syns than i would have spent on chocolate, so overall I am very pleased with this progress!

I'm not saying I've been a saint, because there was a scone with jam and cream yesterday and half a bottle of red wine earlier in the week, but compared with my recent weeks of synning, and my musings over eating too much free food, I feel much more in control of things now, and that in itself feels FANTASTIC! :j Instead of going "cold turkey" with overeating too much food I have decided I can have seconds (just not 3rds and 4ths... ), and that seems to have worked well so far, I feel more aware of what and how much I am eating now.

I've just found out its star week, so i'm not too sure how much of these probems were related to that... :rotfl: but I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for everyone being there for me.

End of mushyness.

I am on holiday from today, in Wales, the idea being to walk lots, so I'm going to challenge myself to go a bit further every day. (I am on the coastal footpath just past the Gower.)

Oh polly, I'm so envious of your holiday! I come from Swansea originally so know that part of the world very well indeed. If you do go into the city, visit the indoor market and have some cockles with plenty of vinegar and pepper. An absolutely syn free snack and (IMO:)) delicious! I have some every time I'm visiting family, much nicer than the stuff in jars. Good luck with the Body Magic!

:rotfl: Sorry, I know I shouldn't laugh but I can't help it. You can swear at me if you like.

Well done Skint - it sounds as though you're making real headway there. We all have to find what it is that makes it work for us and you sound as though you're getting there
