Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the
courage to continue that counts. Winston Churchill
Filling in a journal really does make you realise where
those extra ProPoints go, and also filling it in at the time you eat the food
makes sure you don’t forget to write something down! I’ve just had a flashback to the bag of Weight
Watcher bakes I had yesterday morning whilst I was out and I haven’t wrote them
in my journal yet, so will do now!
Yes ignorance isn’t bliss when it comes to losing weight,
pretending you didn’t eat that biscuit or misjudging how many ProPoints was in
that MugShot or Pot Noodle will ultimately show on the scales at some
point.
We’ve been talking about lunchtimes this week and how easy
it is to skip or just grab whatever is on offer. Sandwiches can be a real killer of the
ProPoints allowance if you’re not careful, that’s where F&H and low calorie
brown bread comes into play and saves the day, just look at the difference
between how much you get!
I also own up to loving a big chunk of crusty bread or French
stick, luckily I’m not a fan of the squidgy bread in the middle, so I tend to
take that bit out (throw it to the birds) and re-weigh it to save me some ProPoints. It’s delicious with a piece of fish in
breadcrumbs in there and lots of nice salad with it.
And this is how easy it is to blow the lunch box allowance,
here’s a photo I found on facebook;
Cheese salad butty 24pp (25pp or MORE
if you include the slice of cheese u eat whilst making it)
Bread 6pp
55g Cheese 6pp
20g Butter (Lurpak spread) 4pp
50g Branston 2pp
WW Rich Toffee bar2pp
Walkers Crisps 4pp

Just imagine if that WW bar was
a Mars Bar and the can of pop had been full sugar, that would take the total over
30pp! Yet instead you could have this
for 8pp,
I use a potato peeler to slice
my cheese thinly and by having extra mature cheese you still get the flavour, I
only used 13g to cover the bread – bargain!

I’ve actually just removed the
lettuce and eaten it, then stuck the cheese and cucumber sandwich in a toastie
bag and popped it in the toaster – delicious quick breakfast eaten!
Yes tracking does make a
difference, knowing and recording what goes in means you’re more likely to know
you’re going to get a great result on the scales! Speaking of results, I’ve been sharing a few
of our many results on our area Weight Watcher page over the last week and I
have to say, member success always blows me away – go take a look at a few https://www.facebook.com/area37 just
awesome, this links to my moms before / after photo, I’m particularly proud of her
She’s maintained her weight loss
for ten years this year, it may have taken her 42 years to get it all off but
she did it a bit at a time and has kept it off every since.
Right off to get ready for work
to help more successful members achieve their goals!
Have a great day BeYOUtiful, Eat
Gorgeous & remember you’re worth the effort!
