I have had a lovely weekend, albeit not particularly great on the syns - which may be why I feel so damn freaked out right now. I have had 2 fantastic weight losses in a row, 4lb last week and then I lost 5lb this week - not done since I rejoined in 2009. That is 9lb in two weeks, the problem is now I am terrified of gaining - if I have a big weight loss I almost always do, and I have had too naughty meals this weekend!
Yesterday I had fish and chips, mine and 'his' were wrapped together so I had 1/3 of the chips and took all the batter off the fish - I took an estimated guess on the syns as I didn't actually get the scales out and counted 17.5 for an average portion of chips.
Tonight I went out for my tea to a pub, unfortunately jacket spuds were not on the menu - so I had a few large chips (almost wedge sized) with steak, peas, mushrooms and tomatoes. We shared a starter which included some ciabatta (probably half of one cut into slices between us), some battered chicken, battered mushrooms and pate. I took almost all the batter off the mushrooms and chicken but counted it all based on frozen chicken dippers - I couldn't find battered mushrooms anywhere on slimming world online. It also included some Cornish brie melted in a bowl - I think there was about 2 ounces which I ate most of, god I love cheese!
For the whole meal I counted 46.5 syns including 2 glasses of wine- I think that I am covering everything but I just can't be sure - hence the anxiety!
My intention is to be saintly from now on - I have made a quiche for lunch tomorrow (1/2 a syn for the whole thing) and I will get some meat out for tea, if I can keep to a few syns a day max and get to the gym twice before Thursday; fingers crossed I will get a loss!
I hate not being in control, but at the same time don't want to live by a diet!
On a more positive note my sort of (lets not go there) sister in law is on SW too and we were sharing recipes this afternoon, she was making sweet and sour chicken with a can of diet tango - she wasn't all that impressed - it smelled quite nice though I might have a go at adapting the recipe this week!
farewell for now!
