Take a second to think how blessed you are.
I was really chuffed to find I'd lost another 2lb yesterday morning
at my meeting, that's 8lb in two weeks, just shows when I do it 100%, it really
works. I'm tracking religiously,
everything, as soon as it's consumed it's written down. No cheating, no lying. So if I have an egg and it's a large one it's
3pp not 2pp! I'm weighing stuff when
possible and yesterday when we ended up in a cafe for breakfast rather than a
pub for lunch, we asked the lady to swap our sausage for bacon and she grilled
it for us and poached the mushrooms.
It's just too easy not to ProPoint stuff, like the biscuit that came on
the side of our coffee cups in the cafe, when I looked on esource, they're 1pp
each, we had 2 cuppa's so could've easily wasted 2pp, plus if we hadn't asked
for skimmed milk or grilled bacon, swapped the sausage, let her fry the
mushrooms, that would've made a massive difference to a meal that wouldn't have
looked any different but would've cost me a heap more ProPoints.
Making small changes have been making a big difference, for
instance, I like beans on toast, so instead of two big slices with 1/2 tin, I
had 2 smaller slices with 1/3 of a tin, and surprisingly enough, I'm not hungry
afterwards but I have saved 3pp!
I could've easily turned to comfort food these last few days
with this lurgy, it's all in my head now, I've never had a runny nose, run so
much it actually wakes me up in the night - yak! But instead of food, I've turned to
paracetamol, they're actually more useful!
I did bake yesterday afternoon though, made the chocolate
cupcakes from the April Weight Watchers magazine, very nice indeed and well
worth 3pp! I'm looking forward to this week's
meeting, we're looking at getting creative with desserts, that'll be fun, most
of us like a good pudding, I'm partial to banana and custard, now that needs to
go on my 'to eat' list, those chocolate cakes would be awesome with a bit of
custard on and that'd be a 'big enough' sized pudding for 5pp.
I've found lots of low ProPoint goodies for my front table
to be used as ingredients in those sweet treats we all like to indulge in.
The last few weeks I've really started to 'want to' lose
weight, the last year I've been saying 'I just can't do it' but I've realised
the truth was I just didn't want to do it, it wasn't important enough to be, I
was getting away with people not really noticing and everyone kept saying I
looked okay, so I believed them. Add to
that I'm happy being me and my size wasn't really bothering me. However now, I do want to lose weight, I want
to fit in the jeans I wore last summer and I want to fit in them
comfortably! I want to not have that
"what can I eat next", thought constantly in my mind, and it's been
there for a good year now, but the last two weeks I've hushed it quite a bit, I
think it's getting the hint that it'll be fed when it's time and it'll be less
than it has been but it'll be enough to satisfy myself physically and
emotionally and it'll keep me going.
Yeah I want to lose weight, I've lost 8lb and I'm 1lb off my
5%, I'm thrilled, I know some people don't think I need to lose that much but
according to the charts I do, I haven't wrote in my blog what I actually weigh
for a long time! That in itself proves
that I want to lose weight because if I wasn't bothered by my weight I wouldn't
care who knew what it was! I still have
19lb to get me back to my 'official' goal weight, so yes I was almost 2 stone
over goal a fortnight ago, I kept saying it was a stone but it kept creeping
up! Then suddenly one morning the scales
said OUCH. Now I'm getting it off, and
confessing on here that I started back at my meeting 12st 5lb is a way of
putting myself on the spot because now everyone knows my weight, just in case
your maths ain't great, I'm now 11st 11lb and that needs to be 10st 6lb! I hadn't seen those numbers since March 2014, kept my weight off for ten years, I won't go back to where I started!
Watch this space - I'm doing it. Are you?
