Sorry LeeLee I tried but failed and have ordered an Indian takeaway.....I will get back on the diet tomorrow but now I'm too fed up
 
Savour every bite, and when you're full... stop eating! (The last bit is what I have trouble with.) :D
 
I've stopped LeeLee....I'm full but that's easy with gastroparesis:D it was delicious but I think I'm going to regret this tomorrow:D. I did swap my pump from my "slimming" setting to "normal but it was the first time in five weeks🙄 I will change it back tomorrow🙂
 
Pump is back on "slimming" programme🙂
 
Well done for letting go without losing control. With a bit of effort for the rest of the week, the scales will forgive you. 🙂
 
Thank you LeeLee. I was relieved when I got on the scales today that there was no weight gain. My main expected challenge this week will be lunch out on Tuesday🙂
 
Pleased to say that I've been back on track for the past two days🙂 Going out for lunch today but that will be the only food that I eat today🙂 I won't be upset if I don't have a weight loss this week after Saturday's Indian takeaway and lunch today - but I will be very disappointed if I put on any weight.
 
I'm really struggling today but I'm going to keep writing on here so that I can try to keep focus. Mid-morning I had a tiny slice of cake (it really was tiny) and a Viennese whirl😱 I've just had some slices of meat - Parma ham and salami - and c. 5 thin cheese biscuits. I'm still hungry but know that I'm not doing well because I am worried about tomorrow's eye appointment. Going to do as best as I can to not eat anything until dinner. This will be pumpkin and goats cheese tart with stir fried vegetables.

Hi Amanda sorry to see you are struggling. I'm rooting for you, you will get there.

Take care Sheena

ps Dinner sounds lovely🙂
 
Ah thank you Sheena. You rooting for me is really appreciated x
 
Back on track today with the WW points:D. Dinner will be ham and brie crepe with asparagus wrapped in Parma ham washed down with bubbly to celebrate the good news at the eye department:D. Weigh in tomorrow - according to the scales today I had put on a pound😱So I'm not sure if I can rectify this by the morning:confused:
 
No change this week 14stone 2lbs. As it was a bad week I'm glad that I didn't put on any weight🙂. Goal for next week is to lose another pound🙂
 
Well done Amanda, you managed to stay in control on the days you weren't doing something special - if you hadn't bothered, it would have been a gain. 🙂
 
Thanks LeeLee....had a "holiday" weekend with OH and managed to put on two pounds😱 Going out for a "posh" afternoon tea today which I'm really looking forward to but want to do my best to lose these two pounds by Friday. My biggest downfall this weekend has been butter, cheese, p?t?s and LOTs of wine:D. Going for walk this morning and back to WW points tomorrow🙂
 
Well it's so strange. This week I've had an afternoon tea with cocktails and champagne, a doner kebab, a lunch out with lots of wine and a Chinese takeaway😱 Plus far too much wine😱 It was therefore with much trepidation and fear that I stood on the scales this morning. I couldn't believe what I saw so weighed myself three times. I've lost another pound. That's twelve pounds in total:D I'm now 14 stone 1lb. I think that the one pound in a fortnight is because although I've had naughty days I have also had a lot of "good" days. I've decided that in order to go forward with my weight loss the majority of days I will keep to my points but if I want off plan meals then I won't deprive myself. It may make weight loss slower but will hopefully make it more sustainable🙂
 
This sounds like a sensible compromise. Do the best that you can, when you can. 🙂
 
Thanks LeeLee🙂
 
YAY AJ 🙂

Congrats on another loss 🙂 Good to see it coming off slowly but surely for you 🙂 I think the idea to have a treat every now and then is essential :D
 
Thanks Shambles:D. I've come to the conclusion that I won't be able to manage this without treats:D. Plan for today:
1 crumpet with one teaspoon butter
Goulash
Bubbly to celebrate the good eye appointment the week before last:D
 
mmm crumpets :D

I was super good today and had salad mainly... this is because I am now at my mums and she will make me things I should not have (diet wise not diabetes wise - she's a HCA I have no chance of sneaking cake past her 😛)
