Hi supersavershal, I know what you mean about working nights I was a nurse for many years on the Burns Unit until I retired at 65, it is so hard to say no to chocolates and we used to get them all the time on the Unit.:rolleyes: I still have a job to say no to chocs:eek: I have been maintaining for the last couple of weeks, so I really have to get myself into gear and write everything down that I eat, thats the only way I can stay on the straight & narrow:rotfl: have a good day, bubsy

Me too busby, I have to keep a food diary or I conveniently forget what I have had.
I think nursing is not a career to have if you want to stay slim, when I trained I put a stone on for each year!
The shifts dont help, missing breaktimes when its busy and the gifts of chocolate.Im on a childrens ward too so we get lots of goodies donated by businesses at easter and christmas and its rude not to try them.Imagine a of about 300 easter eggs arriving.Its too tempting sometimes.

Northrnlass, please dont take this the wrong way, but do you think weekends are bad because you expect them to be? If you keep saying to yourself that you cant do weekends, then you are more likely to go off the rails. Can you pinpoint why its so hard? What was it that made you have the toast and peanut butter that isnt around on a weekday?

Hi everyone.

DD1 has hogged the laptop again for days and I haven't been able to get on here which I think is part of the reason I have been... RUBBISH!

I bought from the sandwich van (sandwich and crisps) on Thursday and a cheese twist and a low fat caeser wrap from the supermarket at lunchtime. Tacos for dinner with sour cream. And a couple of caramel digestives.

Friday I bought a roll, coleslaw, chicken thighs and crisps for lunch and went out for a mate's birthday in the evening and had subway, 2 cans lager, about 5 vodka lime and sodas, 2 shots and a portion of spicy chips with mayonnaise.

I didn't bother weighing this morning as I didn't feel I could manage balancing on the scales whilst looking down at the same time. Also, if I had lost, it would've been down to dehydration and if I'd put on I would have felt even worse (maybe not possible)

DD2 came round today to do my cleaning and made me a bacon butty which she buttered. I had 2 slices of ww bread toasted with butter and honey on for lunch and bbq beef supernoodles for dinner with a light alpen bar and a digestive.

Someone shoot me...

I am going to get very very organised tomorrow and plan my lunches for the week as I'm getting bored at work and giving in to temptation.

Well done everyone who has lost. I think I am going to get some of that mdf stuff from Holland and Barratt that you've all been going on about.

Hi Cleosmum,
i think weekends are bad for me because they are completely different to my weekdays, i am able to relax and do what i want to basically, i have more time to think about what im going to eat and i always make the wrong choices because i have time to make them, during the week it is grab fruit or alpen light bars and my pre made lunch then a propper dinner in the evening. on a weekend i tend to go for the unhealthy options because i have time to make them and go for a takeaway so i can have a night off from cooking, im also able to pick at things i wouldnt normally have to hand though not necessarily bad things just not SW Plan friendly.
its an excuse really to go off the rails and i need to stop it, but i have done it for so many years it is hard to change, if i could change the way i think about weekends then that would be a good start, but i dont know how to start and do that.:o

HUGE SIGH!

Weekends are not good for me either. My OH works away and when he comes home at the weekend we are either eating out or going to visit relatives and I am finding that

a) I have absolutely no willpower when I go out for something to eat and;

b) I have absolutely no willpower.

During the week when it is just me and the kids I can be really strict with myself, but add a not very motivated OH into the frame who says 'go on you can break your diet for once' - or he buys me wine to cheer me up, and I go to pieces.....

I have had a long thought about it, and I am trying to think well if I am good 5 days out of the week and I keep up the exercise then the weight WILL come off eventually, just a lot slower than I would expect. In the past I have thought 'oh, I am not losing weight so I will give up', but not this time. I will stick to it and try to get better at the weekends..

Sammy, my DH is now off work for 2 weeks, so I have a weekend that will last a fortnight :eek: We tend to have a bottle of wine in the evening, whereas we wouldnt do that if he was working.

We're hoping to go out walking quite a bit while he's off, so hopefully that will offset any damage the wine does

I posted on the chat thread yesterday, the scan bran arrived. Now maybe I'm a bit odd, but I think it's yummy

Thanks again for sending it to me x

i notice you don't use many syns up. is this because you're nearly at target weight? i always thought if you used less than 10 then weight loss slowed down unless you were nearly at target weight?
