So staying the same on the scales this week added to the already crappy time I've been having lately. Emotions all over the place have had me reaching for food I wouldn't usually eat.
Yesterday started off really well. I had branflakes with yogurt and grapes for breakfast.
I even resisted all the high syn treats at the food day at work having only 4 syns on my curry, a cheese straw and a mini meringue.
After work however, things went downhill... treated my 16 year old nephew to a meal out and cinema. I gave him the choice of frankie & bennys or weatherspoons for food... he chose chiquitos! I opted for the lowest syn looking meal on the menu, peri peri chicken. Half a chicken with peri peri sauce, swapped my chips for salad and had 3 onion rings... it came out and had quite obviously been cooked in oil (might even have been deep fried!) I peeled off the skin and ate the dry breast, then the salad was covered in vinegarette... no idea whether it was low fat or not. So no idea how many syns I had at all. Then off to the cinema and feeling sorry for myself I go for the ice cream counter! Complete disappointment!
So this morning I gave myself a stern talking to! Breakfast was a small wholemeal roll (heb) with my hea of reduced fat cheddar and a frylight egg followed by grapes.
Snacked on a pear mid morning.
Lunch was homemade tomato soup (superfree) a grapefruit and an apple.
Snacked on some ham when I came home from work.
Dinner was steak with a sweet potato jacket filled with garlic mushrooms (garlic frylight is amazing!) and courgette.
So I have managed to get through today with 0 syns, and I am hoping to continue that way for the majority of the week. Fingers crossed!!
