This time I am going to be mega positive that I can lose the weight. I will be posting on here each day to keep me incentivised. After being scared of weighing myself Northener gave me the motivation to weigh myself this morning. The scales confirmed what I knew - that I had put on half a stone. However I know that if I keep to my WW points I should hopefully lose that first half stone in 1-2 weeks. I will then focus on losing one pound a week. Haven't eaten today because my tummy is still full from a comfort eating Chinese takeaway last night😱 but when I do eat I'm planning a small bowl of peach slices and pineapple chunks - I've discovered these great tubs of fruit in the supermarket which stay fresh in the fridge for a week. As they don't have peel on them the fibre isn't too bad for more gastroparesis and they are delicious. I haven't planned dinner yet but I will update my thread later🙂 starting weight is 14 stone 9lbs
 
Thank you Alan🙂. I nearly gave in to an early glass of wine but I am going to wait until 6.30 before pouring the much needed glass.
 
Thank you Alan your post made me laugh when it arrived in my email:D. but my WW points have let me have two glasses of wine tonight:D. Going to have faggots, potato dauphonaise and peas for dinner and will still have three points spare:D
 
Good luck Amanda you know you can do it..... We are all behind you my love xxx
 
Thank you Di🙂
 
You are heading in the right direction Amanda, I'm rooting for you :D Sheenax
 
thank you Sheena🙂
 
Despite the trauma of GPs, x-rays and blood tests so far today I have been a good girl:D I have had peach slices and pineapple chunks which are free points for WW. I've also had three TUC biscuits plus 2 cheese spreads although I am rather hungry now. For dinner I've planned seafood sticks, tempura prawns, feta cheese and olives which I am looking forward to. I'm also looking forward to two small glasses of ice cold wine. I'm sure I enjoy my food and drink more when I am on a diet because I don't take it for granted🙂
 
Well done Amanda, what you have planned sounds delicious (except the olives, ugh! 😱 ) 😉
 
Thank you Alan. I've had a good start today. Took Susie for a nice walk with OH and then had peach slices, pineapple and papaya cubes. I'm feeling very virtuous:D

Sounds delicious! 🙂 Good to see Susie is benefiting from your new resolve also - how is she now after her stroke?
 
Susie says thank you for asking about her. She is virtually back to normal. she gets a little more tired but loves asking me for cuddles at 4am😱 She is still chasing squirrels and loving her walks🙂

Ah, that's good to hear 🙂
 
I've been doing something work-related this afternoon that is stressful - just decided that I've had enough and I need a drink - but that would be naughty because it can't be anywhere near 6.30 - had been so absorbed in my work that I hadn't realised that it was 6.15. Hooray I've managed to work today, keep to my WW points, not snack during the day AND not drink my wine too early. All I've eaten since my fruit breakfast is a cheese scone. I'm feeling very pleased with myself:D
 
thank you Alan🙂
 
I've been for another Susie walk had paracetamol, ibuprofen and strayed on pain relief and my walking wasn't too bad:D. Lovely food planned today
Pineapple chunks, peach slices and papaya
Three Tuc biscuits and two cheese spreaD
snack of prawn crackers (surprisingly only two WW points for a quarter pack)
Mushroom and asparagus parcel with pancetta wrapped asparagus
Two glasses of wine
Yummy:D
 
Well I did have a MacDonalds Filet O Fish for lunch yesterday.. it was extremely nice and I made sure that I kept to my WW points allowance:D
