Week 6

Guess what happened this week that I didn't expect?  I lost 500 grams!!! I am not going to complain because after the week I had with eating, this is a miracle! Ha!
With this lovely thing called emotional eating, I've begun to realise that I'm not actually craving the foods that I've been eating anymore.  Things like chocolate and biscuits that I used to want ALL the time (NOT joking), I just don't want anymore YET I still eat them.  It's like I'm programmed to eat like this at the moment and I don't know how to change it... Well actually I do,  I just have to say no but it is sooooooooo hard.  Before I know it, my hand is at my mouth yet again.
So these next 2 weeks, I'm away on holiday with the family and my goal is to maintain my weight.  To achieve this, I am going to focus on my portion sizes and what I'm putting into my mouth.  And I'm not going to deprive myself of treats as it is a holiday, but any treats I do have will be the right portion size, I promise.
I'll see you all in 2 weeks!
Happy eating!

Week 5

So after a rather indulgent week, to say the least, an expected gain of 400g showed up today at weigh in.  To explain th 'yo-yo' in my weight in the moment, for those of you who don't know, I'm in the process of getting things ready for moving cities in the next couple of weeks, so I'm finding myself comfort eating a lot since I'm a bit stressed.  So to try and combat this lovely thing of comfort eating, I am planning this weeks eating and working out meals and treats that I can make tomorrow so they can all be chucked together when I want to eat them.  My theory is that if I have everything planned, including my treats, I won't really need to use my 49 extra points, which will hopefully give me a boost in my weight loss... this is the plan and I am GOING to stick to it.  One thing that I have learnt from planning what I am going to eat in advance is planning in treats and desserts gives me something to look forward to at the end of the day AND I don't have to feel guilty about it which is an added bonus.  So wish me luck on this new week and I will let you know how it goes next week after weigh in.

Until next week,
Sophie

Week 4

I had a lovely time away and also had a bit of a loss this week - 600 grams which I am extremely proud of.  While I was away, I have to be honest, I din't track and was wondering if I was going to loose anything because I don't usually when I don't track, so when I did I started thinking about how I had been eating over the couple of days I was away.  The place where I was staying was more of a lifestyle block I suppose and the meals that we ate, mostly came from their backyard or a family members place.  When I was eating, I was eating food that is good for you and isn't processed and on top of that I wasn't snacking the way I do when I'm at home.  I was enjoying the beautiful food while I was away and I savored every last bite, which I don't do as much at home.  I think for the next couple of weeks I need to get into the habit of savoring every las bite and really enjoying the food I eat.  Oh and I also discovered over the past week that even though I may eat junk food, I don't really want it anymore.  Hopefully it'll last :P

Until next week,
Sophie

Week 3

So, I gained 300 grams this week BUT i did track everything I ate!  That was my goal for the week and so I treated myself to a WW Magazine.  Very happy!  About to go away for a week to lovely sunny Blenheim (hopefully).  My goal for this week is to keep to small portions and to TRACK!!! So i'm going to head off to the Blenheim meeting on wednesday to keep myself on track so I'll let you know how I went on the friday after I come back.
Hope you have a good week and I'll write soon!
