oh-oh
weigh in tonight
was away for a night at the weekend and between drinks and hangover food am 50 points over
I find then that once I have gone over the limitI find it hard to stop
I think " ah sure an extra 6 points won't make any difference to me now"
Anyone else find themselves thinking like this. If so how do you manage to get back on the straight and narrow?

Sometimes I find if I go for a walk the day after and re-read weightwatcher blue book it brings me back to the weightwatcher way?

Thanks

Lost 5 pounds today!!! So happy, me and my leader were just shocked!!! Was up a pound last week and didn't think I deserved to be so this makes up for it. Very very happy, got my third silver seven today, it's great going into Christmas knowing I'm a few pounds lighter.

Hope everyone has good losses this week, if not just pick yourself up and stick to the programme. It works!

Hi izzy

I think you are being way too hard on yourself there - you are still almost 3 stone lighter than you were this time last year so you have NOT failed. You have merely had a temporary break - ok for maybe a bit longer than you had intended but all is not lost (pardon the pun)

Is is close to Christmas and very easy to say that you will get back on track next year DON'T DO THIS please!! START NOW - think of all the work you can have put into that stone between now and January.

Christmas will come and before you know it - it will be over. Treat it like any other weekend and you will be fine. Have your days "off" but get back on track again the very next day.

You will be so proud of yourself for taking control again - surround yourself with your weightwatchers books and read, re read and re read them until you feel it all sinking in. What worked well for you between Feb and Aug?? Repeat as much of it as you can. Get yourself a nice notebook and keep it with you all the time and TRACK TRACK TRACK everything.

You felt great with nearly 4 stone gone - you are not too happy with yourself now - what needs to change to get that happy izzy back??
You are in charge so TAKE charge.

Get your hands on the Irish Independent from Monday last (Page 17)where weightwatchers is given the thumbs up for the diet that is most likely to produce RESULTS but then you know that already anyhow

Regarding the leader - just remember she was once where you are now - that is her qualification - ok she may not be great at getting her message across - maybe stay back after class and have a chat with her she may be much better on a one to one level.
If you still get no joy try getting as much out of the other members as you can - I feel that it is really important to stay to the class and if all else fails try to find another class in your area.

By posting here you have taken the first step - now you just need to take a few more

BEST OF LUCK

***note to self......heed your own advice***

Well tried the 26 points for a few days this week and was down 2.5lbs at WI this evening, yippee! Only 2 lbs to goal. Filled up on no pp soup on the days I ate 26 and loads of fruit. Really motivated for this week now!

Wow that's great, I might do that after tomorrow's weigh in for the next week cos I think there's only one more weigh in after that..someone told me the other day that none of the meetings are happening last wk before xmas?..that they all have to stop that week..? Anyway, feel like I've gained this week but I'm hoping I'm wrong.

Btw, read somewhere here (think it was here anyway) on a list of WW pp's that Jonnie Onion Rings are 2 pp's..they're not! I should've known they're too yummy for 2 pp's! I've been scoffing them and counting them as 2 and they're actually 4 pp's!! Bugger.

Also, the rye crispread (like ryvita) from Aldi is only 1 pp per slice. Also, I made the O pp roasted pepper soup from the WW calender that came with the WW Dec magazine and it's gorgeous!

Well i'm down 1 stone 10 pounds in 10 weeks....
Starting weight 17st 4lb now 15st 8.....feel great

Here an example of an average day to give people an idea of how much you can actually eat...im on 44 pro points a day(started on 49)

Breakfast...2 weetabix with semi skim milk,coffee(with canderal) 5 pp

10.00 break...1 0% vanilla yogurt with chopped
apple,orange,kiwi,berries...wrap with 2 slices of wafer thin ham,2 wafer thin turkey and a low fat laughing cow, coffee... 7pp

1.00 break...homemade soup (veg/red pepper/roast garlic),.wrap with 2 slices of wafer thin ham,2 wafer thin smoked turkey and a low fat laughing cow, coffee....7pp

Dinner...various....make a nice pasta with smoked bacon and roast veg with a sauce made from light philadelphia and veg stock ,10pp

Desert...3 light rich tea ,coffee...4pp

Supper... another wrap with a pack of snax crisps .7pp

Snacks...curly wurly 3pp and 2 more light rich tea 2pp.

So as you can see I'm hardly starving.If recently started exercising in the gym twice a week and play 5 a side once and go hill walking on a Sunday...
Most weeks i drink my 49 weekly point on a Friday/Saturday and go over by around 8 every second week.

So there ye go ,10 week ago i never would have thought i could do this so happy days...
