Hi I had a slip up yesterday and it continued into today. Feel really sluggish now. Major PMT = curly wurly and walkers lights overdose . Advice would be great..

Hi there, I could have written your post myself. I have days when I just can't resist a blow out and sugar cravings get the better of me. Yes, the day after I duffer too with headaches and feeling sluggish!

It's taken me a while to accept that that's me and how I am, I need to have these occasional lapses. I just tell myself to get back on track the next day and remind myself of how far I've come. I used to feel like a failure and like giving up if I had a bad day but not now, the voice of reason has kicked in.

It's a journey we're on and a bad day won't put you right back where you started if it's only for one day and you stick to it from then after, maybe treat it as a flexible syns day??

I bet you're both doing fab, don't beat yourself up about it and stick with it xx

I do it too often but I discovered the cause of my constant cravings so that will change soon!
I normally think about sticking to 70 a week but never have a flexible day! Do these flexible syn days work?

Yes they do, I've seen people in group loose after having flexible syns. They're for when you have an event or a big night out and know you'll go over syns. If you know you'll drink a whole bottle of wine, not resist dessert and stop for a curry on the way home etc then your group consultant will give you an extra syn allowance for that day (I've known people have 50,75,100+ etc) the rules are stick strictly 100% to Sw for the rest of the week either side of you flexible syn day and you'll still loose.

It just takes the pressure off a bit if you know it will be hard to stick to SW for one day.

i may have to try this on freshers week because im excited but dreading the results on the scales!!! not planning on going to all the parties mine so may fit in with my 70 syns as im not a huge drinker!!

Well the slippery slope lasted into this week I went to group tonight to face the music. So glad I went. 4 lb gain but Image Therapy has refocussed me for the week ahead.

Well I gained 2 weeks in a row and I'd only just started lost 2.5 in the first week gained it back the second then gain another half the week after found out it was actually due to my contraceptive being changed which was making me sluggish depressive and crave loads so came off it lots 5lbs this week
