I had my weigh in this morning and I have put on a pound 
and I know exactly why, I only have myself to blame.
This week was basically a catalogue of disasters, and I was too weak and lazy to deal with some hurdles that came my way.
First off, I did not plan my meals properly and I did not track all the time.
My mum bought loads of maltesers and mini mars bars for trick or treaters, we didn't even have any come round so they were left on the kitchen table, and I would walk past and have "just one or two".
Then my fridge went kaput so I didn't have any ham for lunches, milk for breakfast etc for a couple of days. Had an egg for breakfast one day, but the rest of the time I had toast with jam, which isn't all that filling for the 6 points it is worth. So I would get to lunch time and be starving and wandering the streets for some food; I am really fussy and hate most food that you can get on the go (I can't stand mayonnaise, and it's impossible to find a sandwich without mayonnaise, let alone a healthy one!). So I ended up eating things that maybe weren't the most sensible.
I worked late one night and just ate what my family had eaten once I got home. I can't even remember what it was but it wasn't that wholesome.
My internet has also been playing up this week so instead of looking up points I have been guestimating. I know I overestimated some food so I am fairly certain I underestimated others!
I went out with colleagues and had wine and crisps for dinner last night, never a good idea....
And finally, it has been that time of the month so I have been overindulgent, convinced that sugary treats have medicinal properties and relive cramps
So, all in all I have been fairly rubbish and today I face the repercussions. I wasn't overly optimistic when I got to the meeting and to be honest I was expecting a lot worse so one pound on is me getting off lightly. But I was still really gutted, I feel like I have undone all my hard work. I was walking through town afterwards and felt really glum and then I got home and had a bit of a mini-cry haha what a loser (or gainer?).
But, time to close the door on last week and move on, I suppose. I must not let one setback ruin everything. It takes so much effort to lose the weight but not a lot is needed to put it back on! On the plus side I have been keeping my exercise up, and I didnt even touch the mountain of takeaway curry with naan, pilau rice and poppadums which my family had for tea on friday, opting instead for scrambled egg on toast. So I guess I can muster up some willpower when the mood takes me.
If nothing else, this week has proved to me that the plan does work. Follow it and you will lose, don't follow it and you will gain... simple as that!
