    Ah well, that’s us crashed down to earth with a great big 4-1 bump! Back to ‘auld claes and parritch’ as my mum used to say in such cases. Actually that might be good SW wise!

    Big hugs coming your way from me, beanie.

    Well done, shrimp, on your loss. You did well. Kathryn.

    Breakfast: hm granola (6 – it should have been muesli but when I went for it, there it was –
    gone), raspberries, blueberries, banana, ff Greek yogurt
    Lunch: bacon, egg, mushrooms, beans, Milbona Greek style lemon yogurt

    Snack: shortbread finger (5)

    Dinner: hm butter chicken (5), SW wedges, Tesco Mediterranean roasted veg (3.5)

    Snack: hexb toast with hexa cheese

    At SW today, 6 new members returned with their fabulous first week results,4lbs,5 lbs and biggest loser an incredible 10 lbs.Target members who slipped a little over Xmas all got back into target range,several returning members lost several pounds too.Whole group lost 77 lbs They havent even been announcing numbers for at least 6 months,thats how bad it got with our old consultant.
    So guess who disgraced herself,the only person among 25 in class who put on weight?
    Yep,I put on 1/2 lb.And was surprised it wasnt more.
    Last week was the first anniversary of my sister's death. Just seems to have hit me really hard. I keep thinking about how I am the last remaining person in my generation of our family,made me feel somehow lonely,despite having a big family of my own.Its only a month since I had a bad week remembering the death anniversaries of my mother,brother and sister within a 4 day period.Struggling with depression,butterflies in the stomach like being at the dentist,before the head or at a difficult interview.Barely eating,but when I do its rarely speed foods,its stuffing myself with my fave roasties!. Never opened the book or planned a meal. I'm sitting here feeling as if I am going to be sick,or will burst into tears,but I am going to have a nice comforting cup of hot choc(heaven knows how many syns,cant be bothered even to check.)Then I'll have a hot bath and try for a decent night's sleep,(had no more than 4 sporadic hours for several days) .
    I couldnt share this with anyone in SW class,but I'm glad to share the burden with you. I am determined to get back up from tomorrow to try to get back on track. Normally a 1/2 gain wouldn't bother me much,I tend to look at results over a month,trying for a steady 4 lbs a month overall. But today being so low and being the only person to gain weight was very demoralising indeed:(:(
  • +2lb no real surprise there. on it for a 100% week!

    Not managed to get on earlier. Sorry I missed some amazing losses and kathryna 's great news!:T

    Today's EE menu :
    B: NAS grapefruit, HEB porage, HEA milk,
    D: ham, egg, salad
    L: SW Spaghetti Bolognese, pear with yogurt
    Syns: Extra porage 6, syrup 2, parmesan 3

    That leaves me just 2 syns left in the bank for tomorrow. I'll be fine as I just need that for stir fry sauce.

    Stop being so hard on yourself.

    You haven’t let anyone down & if anyone suggested you did, then I’d be telling them that they could take a long walk off a short pier.

    comfort eating sometimes is perfectly justified.

    Just read your message dusty . You sound like you've got a perspective already. Well done you!:T

    Half a pound today is nothing. You've had a difficult time and come through. Tomorrow you start afresh. :)

    Dusty, at times like this, it is best to take one day at a time, and if roasties make you feel better then have them.

    James Smith said to weigh yourself once a month at the same part of your cycle. Well I think my cycle is 32 weeks long! lol

    Oooh and I am still in a position of winding OH up, but he is getting on my nerves so I know I must be hormonal.
