Be Fab not Fat in Fourteen! (welcome to the Slimming World Support thread)

Mildredd,


I totally get what your saying! I think its only natural to think of things in terms of calories as well as syns coz that's what we've had drummed into us for years!


You definitely couldn't apply the unlimited as SW suggests- imagine if you had unlimited SW Chips!! I defo keep an eye on portion sizes and calories in conjunction with the rest of the diet whilst still counting syns.

Ended up not having a ham salad sandwich at lunchtime and made a SW quiche in a cup. Wasn't too bad but think I prefer the baked version although the microwave one is good if you're in a hurry as it only takes as long as it takes you chop some veggies and crack a couple of eggs and whisk it all together plus 1-2 minutes in the microwave (depending on the wattage; the website says 2 minutes but mine was ready after just over a minute (1000w).

Looking forward to my fish & chips tonight (HM and SW friendly of course) and some wine.

I just happen to think penny lane that putting all ur trust in syns is bunkum
1/2 syn for a full cake really?! So I can have a full cake or 1/2 a pack of chilli chicken chunks?
Just like the pasta n sauces are free but u couldn't eat them every day and not gain weight.

Putting all your food sense in the basket of sw is just not right sorry but its not.
Sw in the science of it is based on calories consumed and calories burnt to consume? So to say they don't count calories is rubbish? 1 syn is roughly 20 calories? So they do use calories.
Personally I wouldn't snack on a yoghurt just because told me I could eat unlimited amounts not have I suddenly decided I want to snack on tins of tuna or anything else they say I can have unlimited amounts of?

My friend gained as she had a week of eating ridiculous amounts of chips because they where free?!

Sw actually says within a balanced diet yet some people chose to eat numerous yoghurts / chips / free items

My point is I wouldn't eat a yoghurt when I fancied a choc just because its free? Free implies no calories to me.

I'm off to finish my tube of pringles

Gosh you lot can chat! I was only on here the other night & 10 pages later I find you all down here!

Went into shock yesterday & had a good cry. My inability to concieve has lead to the discovery that I have a tumour on my pituitary gland (under the brain). I am seeing a surgeon next week. It's unlikely to be cancerous (only 1% of them are), but I'm still scared in case I don't get to see my DD grow up

I've taken next week off SW as it clashes with my hospital app & tbh I can't be arsed to avoid chocolate right now - it's my staple food at the moment I can't think about anything else until after my appointment next week.

Hope everyone's having a good week - sorry I haven't read back so hugs & kicks up bums where needed

Totally Agreed!


Or because they knew women could handle it and men clearly couldn't!!!!!!!!!

i cant handle it most of the time. I wouldnt wish hormones on anyone. They make me miserable and responsible for making poor food choices.. This afternoon i have devoured a LOT of biscuits..:o. I didnt want to eat that many but i am feeling so glum and am very uncomfortable because of the ovary pain (pre-period) i wanted to make myself feel better. I dont. I feel stupid for scoffing a tonne of biscuits especially when i didnt want them that much.

please-let-me-be-lucky

Sorry to hear your news Skint_Catt, fingers crossed for good news from the Consultant. I'd be eating my body weight in chocolate if I were stressed like you (and that's a lot of chocolate!!), so I don't blame you one bit Xx

Thanks all - I just expected so much that it would be fixed by a tablet! Strange where life leads you.

I want to lose weight & I know I can do SW, but I've got so many things in my head at the moment (including goings onat work) that I just had to drop something. And yes, I'm going out to buy more chocolate later Just wish I had a chocolate fountain a la Vicar of Dibley :rotfl:
