The only thing I ate all day were two caramel rice cakes, ready for my weigh in this evening. As I sat in the car in the pouring rain waiting for the doors of fat club to open, I came over all faint.
I happend to have a packet of smokey bacon crisps sititng next to me - my reward after the weigh in. I just had to reach over and eat them before I went in. I was a little embarrassed when the club leader pulled up next to me in her car and witnessed the whole thing.
Anyway, despite the crisps, I lost 2.5lbs this week. I am happy with that.
We are off on hols tomorrow - I am determined to stay on the straight and narrow.

PMT and wine and feeling bloated
I was a shouty mum on Monday, and I was horrible to my husband. I was in a foul mood, all thanks to PMT.
I have a rule that I am not allowed wine mid-week. However on Monday I buckled and ended up drinking an entire bottle in bed.
When I have been drinking, I become dehydrated, and can drink gallons of water the next day but nothing comes out the other end. You can see what I am building up to can't you? At my weigh-in on Tuesday, I was expecting to have lost 4lbs (this was according to my scales), but in fact only lost 2lbs, and I am convinced it was from the wine.
So no wine this week!

Trying again
I really am one of those pathetic women that bang on about losing weight, do it for a while, and then the lure of the pizza and wine and chocolate gets too much and I fall off the wagon.
So, I rejoined Slimming World last night and was hopefully shocked into losing weight properly this time - I am 5 pounds heavier than I was when I first joined the last time.
If I carry on at this rate I will be become morbidly obese.

Eating fest
All you thousands of lovely people who read my blog may have noticed that I didn't post last week - that's because I was still away, and I buckled, big time. Having admirably sought out a Slimming World group near to where we were staying, I went the first week, but as soon as I left the building with the news that I had lost half a pound, I let go - I was on holiday! And what is a holiday without wine, Pringles, Minstrels, and cheese? So I felt it would be a waste of a fiver to go to the meeting the following week, while still away.
A couple of days into my holiday eating fest, I was at the local Tesco, stocking up on salami and Pringles, and as I stood in the queue to pay I looked at the lady in front of me, more specifically her stomach. I then looked at my own stomach, and tried to do a comparison. Did I look like what she looked like? I wondered. Was I as big as her? How do others see me? These were all thoughts going through my head. I looked at her, and then looked at myself several times before she actually caught me doing it, and gave me an awfully filthy look. I actually thought she was going to whack me over the head, or indeed in the stomach, with her large bottle of coke. It turned out I am considerably smaller than she is.
On my back in the car, I tried to place an opened packet of crisps on my lap as I drove. I was dismayed to realise that there was no room between the steering wheel and my stomach to comfortably place the crisps without them getting crushed. The last time I was in this predicament was when I was 9 months pregnant.
So anyway, now back at home, I went to my usual SW group last night - a very brave thing to do, considering my two week gluttony - and I had put on three and half pounds. So this week, I intend to lose four pounds or more, to get myself back on the straight and narrow.

Symmetry
I am away at the moment, but being the truly dedicated dieter that I am (ahem), I tracked down a Slimming World group just down the road from where we are staying, and it just so happens to run on the same day as my group back home - I love the symmetry of this - keeps things nice and neat.
Considering that we are on holiday, I have been pretty good - hardly any wine consumed, and only the odd packet of chocolate buttons here and there. We have been eating out a lot (who wants the chore of cooking on a holiday) but there hasn't been a burger in sight.
So I went to this group yesterday evening, and what a jolly bunch of buxom ladies they were! The leader was so very lovely and commended me for my commitment to the cause.
I am not sure that the effort of going to a fat club whilst on holiday, and only losing half a pound, was worth it, but it's good to be sociable - I sort of viewed it as an excursion, and enjoyed the ten minute respite from my kids.
