...and stay the same they did!
I know a STS isn't too bad, but in the scheme of things - when you have as much to lose as I do, a 1lb on last week, and a STS this week, is going to hurt, psychologically if nothing else!
So.... things have got to change!
I need to look again at what I am doing, and how I am doing it....so as a start: instead of just having a ham sandwich (ww malted danish bread), for lunch I had the ham sandwich, but packed it with zero point salad and beetroot too. I'd forgotten how delicious a salad sandwich can be, and it made all the difference to how 'satisfied' I felt.
Last night, I made a roasted BNS soup (skins left on, for added fibre), with home made chicken stock, and I had a mug of that on the side. I was especially pleased with myself, because I usually make it in the morning when I come back from getting everyone where they need to be. Which is all very well if I'm not running late or distracted, but if I am - and I have the attention span of a gnat these days (sadly not where eating food is concerned!), it can be way past lunchtime before the soup is ready. Unless I have some soup in the freezer, I can easily fall prey to 'the munchies' - telling myself 'I'll just have this to keep me going....'
Although I do try and point the 'keep me going' stuff, I think its much better to prepare something, then sit down and eat it, rather than eat on the hoof.
I was due to make a Thai Curry last night, but realised there were only three of us eating (himself.com away at a conference, and #1Son off recording), which meant there would be far too much, and its a temptation to have a larger portion.....if you know what I mean!
It does kinda beg the question, if I recognise the traps, why do I continue to fall into them? I'm quite proud of myself for avoiding that one though - cos it would have been quite easy to believe I could have been trusted to have a 'normal' portion!
Making it to the meeting today (thanks to the generosity of the ww leader) was great. Had I not gone, and next week showed a gain on the scales, I'd probably have thrown the towel in, and if I had lost weight, would convince myself that I could get away with weighing in every other week - does that make sense? At least I know what I am dealing with - and when I do have a good loss next week, it will because I have made a concerted effort to do so!
Looking forward to that Thai Curry with brown rice tonight now :o)
