Slimming World weigh in – the one with another NSV…

by StaceyUpdated on September 28, 2016September 29, 2016

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 planned to have more EESP meals, and maybe one or two EESP days. I managed both of these goals and had an SP breakfast and lunch almost every …

I made mini bakewell tarts a couple of months ago for my Macmillan Summer Lights fundraiser, but I’ve never made a big one before. …

Slimming World weigh in – the one where I pull it back…

After weigh in last week I went home ready for the week ahead and hoping to get ever closer to my target this week. It’s only two weeks until my birthday now, and I really really want to hit target by then! It was going okay, until the end of the week when I felt a bit stressed and like many people, I eat rubbish when emotional or under stress. 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 …
