Hi guys - I've been doing sw properly (ish) for 3 weeks. First 2 weeks I stuck to plan and lost 5lbs. Last week it was mine and dps birthdays so we had quite a few treats so I put on 0.5lb. Now I'm ok with this but the next few weeks I seem to have loads of meals and stuff. My sisters are taking me out today for my birthday pressie for food and a film, and then thursday it's my sisters 30th and we are having a spa day (lunch included) and out for an evening meal than saturday it's my grans 80th and we are eating out for that. The week after it's my sons 2nd birthday so I'll be doing a party for that and then it'a not long before we are off for a family holiday.
I have this problem that if I don't know the syns of something and can count for it I really struggle to stay on track. If I overestimate my syns on the meals I'm having to go out for it doesn't leave me any for the rest of the week and I don't like that either. I've checked the menus for the places we are eating and there are no low syn options - although obv I'll be trying to get as low syn as possible.
I'm completely torn in that I don't want to be completely obsessed with the food and hardly eat anything whilst eating out but with it being so many weeks in a row I still want to lose weight (hopefully). I'm still keeping up with my exercise which I know will help but just don't know how to deal with the food.
Any ideas?
