OK I suspected that it would be a gain, I am not even surprised by the size, I deserved every single one of those 3lb's. Those who are good at Maths will have already worked out that I am back up above the 2.5stone I was so happy about last week - damn it!
The reason for my appalling gain - I have had a stinking cold all week, my car is broken, its horrible weather and I remember why I learnt to drive, public transport is unreliable and slow and nothing is more depressing than standing at bus stop shivering for 40 minutes. I turned to food for comfort, and despite having a whole host of healthy options for warm comforting food I decided I wanted everything I shouldn't. For anyone who is going off the wagon for a week who loves burgers I highly recommend Oscar's Mountain Burger from Oscar's wine bar in York, the Special burger is amazing too (from previous experience). However anyone thinking about actually losing weight probably should avoid it like the plague. I suspect if I had stopped there I might have maintained, but the rest of the week was no better biscuits, sandwiches, toast, pasties, chocolate... the list goes on.
Oh well never mind, what's done is done I have started this week determined to get back on the plan, I am still not 100% well but I have set myself a goal for Christmas and I am never going to get there unless I am dedicated.
I went shopping yesterday and ended up buying some clothes in ASDA without trying them on, I picked up 14's because my work trousers are a 14 from there, and fit fine. Hmm sizing is an evil devil the size 14 jeans I picked up are impossible to fasten, they barely make it over my bum - very disappointed. However I will not be beaten I am wearing them this Christmas, and I do mean 2011!
Tomorrow SW curry for tea - no takeaways, no eating out!!! Wish me look fellow weight battlers!

Getting back on track - changing plans
I decided that the best way to take control of what (as you can tell from my total failure to complete my food diary) has been a rubbish week. I am really struggling to get my motivation following my holiday, I ate exactly what I wanted when I was away and now I can't seem to stop. I am planning SW meals but still snacking on everything else.
Today is the first day that I have really thought about what I am doing, I decided that what I wanted was to eat cheese, and as any long term follower of SW knows, the best way to do this is have green day.
I haven't had a proper green day since extra easy came out, which is a long time now. I have to admit I found the prospect of no meat really scary, odd considering I was a vegetarian for 7 years during my teens. I just didn't know what to make, in the end I had pasta salad for lunch, which was a fetching shade of pink thanks to the beetroot. I threw in some chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, apple, and spring onions and despite my reservations it actually tasted OK.
I was starving when I got in, so I had a packet of morrisons egg fried rice which was 4.5 syns (I thought it was less, which proves you should check before you eat!)
For tea I had my second healthy B low fat soft cheese with garlic and herbs with mushroom and tagliatelle (for the first had my usual breakfast of Alpen lights, it is a good thing they have a few flavours otherwise it could get boring).
I just finished my bowl of cherries, 0% Greek yoghurt, sweetener and vanilla essence.
I hope that I have managed to convince my mind it is supposed to be following slimming world and I can finally get back on track, thanks to all those who offered advice on twitter, I love how we can all be here for each other despite the fact that we could be miles apart - isn't technology great!!
