Finally the end of a 3 day snack-a-thon!
Well this week hasn’t been the best for me. I have been completely off track and just snacked and snacked and SNACKED some more! This has def been my worst week since I started losing and I gotta say for a couple of days I have been feeling completely de-motivated and kinda feeling like I am just gonna be like this forever, always wanting to lose weight and be healthy but never actually doing it.
BUT for some reason I just gave myself a kick in the ass this evening and after taking a good look at myself realised I have to stop feeling sorry for myself and accept that I am NOT willing to undo all the great work I have done. I have lost 9lbs and even though it is only a fraction of what I need to lose I am heading in the right direction. It has been SO difficult trying to get out of the habit of snacking like a mad woman but it IS possible and I have been doing it!
I think 1 of my downfalls has not been planning my food out and writing down every little thing I am eating. If I had written down my ridiculous binge from thurs there is no way I would have repeated it the next 2 days! I prob wouldn’t have eaten that much then either as it would be too shameful to actually see the damage in writing.
So the plan: minimal “syns” for the next couple of days before tues weigh-in, get back to planning meals etc and I have decided to def step up the exercise. I am gonna aim for 30-60 mins exercise every week day cuz that will def speed things along and keep me motivated.
I have decided to take my own advice too. I mean I have lost 9lbs and that is FANTASTIC, yes the past 3 days have been terrible BUT I have decided to put my selective memory to good use lol. I am gonna let it go! Tonight I have had a nice long shower, washed my hair and given my face a good exfoliating. I brushed my teeth too to deter me from any more snacking (which I read as a good tip recently lol) and also to add to the fresh feeling for a fresh start tomorrow that I was trying to achieve. I am now making my way through a bottle of water and am gonna have an early night.
My meal plan tomorrow:
breakfast: fruit salad - apple, banana, grapes and strawberries
snack: raspberry mullerlight yoghurt
lunch: sainsbury’s tomato and basil chicken with new potatoes from their healthy “be good to yourself” range and peas
snack: big fat juicy orange lol
dinner: pasta with a tomato based sauce and a sprinkling of cheese
snack: “slimming world” snack bar
I will post tomorrow to show you how fab I did lol, I am especially confident cuz I have an assignment to get started on tomorrow which will keep me outta the kitchen! and I am also gonna do 30mins on the treadmill in the morning to give myself an extra boost.
See you guys tomorrow xxx

You have got the right stuff girl! I know you can put this behind you….we all do it, and as long as we get up one time more than we fall down we win!
I love the idea of brushing your teeth to get a fresh start!

Making lots of small changes which hopefully will help me!! Good luck hun!!
Well done for recognising that you weren’t on track and making a plan to get right back on it.
Just a thought and dismiss it if you want but maybe you need to use your syns for the moment after all you are allowed to have 5-15 and if having 15 stops you snacking on things outside your plan, I’d use them. You should still lose on 15.
But hey you do what is right for you!
