Last week I was a little disappointed with my weigh in to begin with as I really wanted to reach my target, but it wasn’t to be. I knew I had a couple of “bad” food days coming up, but I just prepared for that beforehand, and worked to balance it afterwards. I kept my syns low most days, then I decided I would go for an SP day on Monday and Tuesday, before weigh in. (I did do that at the last minute because I had porridge for breakfast, then decided I wanted toast. I’d only had speedy fruit too so …

During last week’s weigh in I was brave and decided I would go for a 3lb loss this week in order to hit target. I say brave, because I’ve never managed that much before; I think only twice. One being on my first week when I lost 3.5lb, and once after a holiday. But I was going for it this week so I could be at target for my 30th birthday next week.

I just don’t care about the sabotage when I’m actually doing it, but I have mentioned previously that I always feel the guilt afterwards. So I still don’t know why I do it. I guess …

My loss of 2lb last week really spurred me on this week knowing that I was closer than ever to target. Now I have officially reset it, like I mentioned I was going to do in my last post, I don’t feel as much pressure on myself (from myself!). I would really like to be at target for my 30th birthday though – three weeks today! The last week has been mostly on plan. We did have a planned pizza takeaway at the weekend but I only had one slice. I mostly had chicken and salad, though I probably did use …
