Petrina's Slimming World Diary - Losing 40lbs! 10.5lbs lost - 30lbs to go!

I've decided to write a diary about my Slimming World journey. I have 37lbs to lose to reach my goal of 8.10st. I went to my first meeting on Monday. I've been reading about the plan and I understand it now. At first I didn't understand all the syns, healthy extras and free foods but now I know what I'm doing. Lol. I'm going to write what I eat everyday. I've also joined the July challenge to lose 10lbs by the end of the month. The plan i'm doing is extra easy. The way I'm eating I don't feel like I'm gona lose any weight.

Hi Guys. Thanks for the support. I had cheese in my scrambled egg as a healthy extra. I had my WI last night and lost 3lbs. I'm happy because the weight is finally coming off. I haven't been eating any syns because I'm scared I'll put on weight. I'm hoping to be 11st next week which is a 2.5lb loss. Fingers crossed :cross: . I've taken up jogging after work running 4 miles 3 times a week. It is tiring but I want to boost my weight loss as much as possible. I still don't know how much syns I'm allowed a day or week so I'm waiting for my consultant to get back to me. Here's my food diary for the day.

Breakfast
Hi-Fi Bar (HEB)
Apple

Lunch
Saradine with Salad

Dinner
Chicken Breast
Cauliflower
Potatoes

I feel a bit crappy!

I feel a bit crappy today. I just thought about how much weight I have to lose before I reach goal. Before I went on holiday I was 10st something and I felt ok cos it didn't seem so far away. But the fact that I'm 11st something its depressing. I was bad on holiday so I only have myself to blame. I just feel really big. I know its going to take time to lose the weight. I think once I'm in the 10s I'll feel a bit better. Plus cos I'm short if I put any weight on you can see it. I just need to cheer up, lol. I am motivated I just need to think positive that the weight will come off and stay off.

Today so I've just had a hi-fi bar lemon.

Breakfast
Hi-fi Bar
Apple

Lunch
Seafood Roll

Dinner
Scrambled egg and beans

So today I feel a bit better. Just going to just see this one through. I always go on diets and never see them through. This time I will. My goal is to be at target by my birthday. Which is 4 months away and I think this is doable. Menu for today is.

Breakfast
Weetabix

Lunch
Pasta with tomatoes and garlic
Spicy Rice

Dinner
Beef Stir-fry

Snack
Apple
Hi-fi bar

I've eating a lot of carbs today and I fill so bloated and fat. I'm scared that I'm not going to lose anything this week. I had a target for 2.5lbs to lose by Monday but I just weighed myself which I knew I sholdn't have and I weigh the same. I'm so fed up :cry: Don't know what I'm gona do. Tomorrow I'm going to cook paella for dinner. So I'm going to have a small breakfast and a light lunch tomorrow. I've been jogging 3 times this week. I went tonight and ran 2 and a half miles. I just hope I have a loss this week. I am really obsessed with my weight. I normally weigh myself everyday but since doing slimming world I haven't just today. I don't want to be in the 11s. Its really depressing. Before I went on holiday I was 10.10 then I went on holiday and enjoyed myself and now I have to pay the price. I just want to reach my goal weight and be happy. I've done weight watchers and the cambridge diet and I never finished them. So I have to finish this and show myself that I can do this. My goal date is 4 months today. So if I lose 2lbs every week then I will reach my goal. So time to think positive.

So tonight is my WI day. I'm a bit scared because I don't feel like I'm lost any weight. Fingers crossed that I have. Because I have been 110% this week. My menu for today is:

Breakfast
Mullerlight Yoghurt
Plum

Lunch
Ham Salad

Dinner
Beef
Jacket Potato
Green Beans

Snack
Apple
Nectarine
Orange

Well done Petrina

Tomorrow it will be 5 wks til my mums birthday and we're going out. So I'm setting myself a challenge of losing 10lbs in 5 wks which I think is possible. I'm going back to my meetings tomorrow so I will update my ticker with my weight.

I've had my wi after going straight from cd and I've put on 7lbs. I was expecting this and I hope to lose that in no time. Here we go for a fresh start.

I feel really down and fat today. Just feel horrible. :cry: I think I'm due on cos my mood is changing. I feel like I haven't lost any weight. I don't get weighed till Monday so there's still time to lose. I'm just fed up. Hopefully tomoro will be a better day.

People read my diary but nobody comments or supports me. I feel left out. Oh well. I just need to motivate myself and get through this. I feel a better today. I woke up and went for a jog. Now I'm at work just eating my special k. Going lakeside tomorrow. Im going to get a dress for my mums birthday which is in just over 4 weeks. This will push me to keep going so I can look nice in the dress,lol. I've made a salad for lunch and I'm having cous cous for dinner. So all my meals are planned.

No love, lol! :wave_cry:
