You've done a lot more than me Kirsty i'm not even dressed yet all i've done is eat and post on here i'm not planning on doing a whole lot either as its too windy to do yardwork, if i try to transplant anything it will blow away before i get it in the ground i said i'd give the house a good clean up but i have'nt made a start on that either funny how you think you'll do or eat something and then you do something completely different is'nt it maybe our brains are'nt as in control of things as we think so far i've discovered that my gob has presidence over my brain where eating and speaking are concerned, it gets everything it fancies and i've lost count of all the times i've blurted something out and then regretted it brain was definitely slow there but it worked fine for thinking of the sarcastic comment in the first place

Carol, i don't know whats lacking in us or these diets that makes us rebel so much i only know that my brain or my gob gets fed up with the monotony and decides its binge day but if we can keep them down to one a week or so we should win in the end.

But just when I was about to send Jennifer and Suzanne an email begging them to let me back, the link updated and I got in. Am so jealous some of you have been here since Monday I really missed coming in here to chat and get some support. Had a mini crisis and I need you ...........

I was back here on Sunday night must of been the checking every hour I wore it down

My eating has been cr@p. Personally I blame the sunshine. There I was cutting the grass on Sunday in the glorious sunshine, even got a little sunburnt and I was building up an appetite and being nice and healthy. When a little devil inside my head said "it is too nice to cook tonight, go book a table to the outside inn". So being an obedient girl I did, big mistake. Within an hour I had inhaled 3 glasses of wine and stopped on the way home to buy more. Then I ate the boys play pieces, 2 chunky kit kats (the easter egg is still in the fridge, so I still feel virtious ), a snickers, a packet of crisps and all the cheese in the fridge. All this on top of a chicken with chilli sauce and a gammon steak, not very slimming world friendly.

Did you carry on counting the syns? I have counted mine even when I've had nine billion glasses of wine at least then you can count them up and feel in control a bit.

[Smiling Sal]

Nope veggie had so much lost count

Well I am off now from Thursday until Monday but already want to murder 2 bosses. Why is it when you are at your most busy, they "hover" and chat? One comes out of the intercommunicating door banging it, waits until I am trying to discipher phone messages or people talking to me on the phone and then wants to talk! One decided that "Go away, leave me alone I am busy" menat that he could invade my space and carry on his mobile phone conversations. Hello, you have your own office!!!!

I have to go away before I kill them!!!

Have a good Bank Holiday everyone!

[Smiling Sal]

Hope you didn't kill them peacock, don'tthink prison food would be that healthy

I only have Monday off and I can't wait have 2 horrondous meetings to get through before then. At least they are only half day ones. Have spent the last two days in team meetings is hard work, yesterday was bad enough because we were doin git for the first time and then today we had to repeat the whole process with the other half of the team. Roll on Saturday morning

Haven't slept well the last few nights, am tired until I get into bed and then I am suddenly wide awake. tonight though I could feel like I could sleep standing up, so hopefully I will get a really good sleep and feel the benefit in the morning instead of standing under the shower trying to wake mysel fup

Met two women at SW tonight who I used to see at WW. Is a small world. I couldn't stay for the class tonight as Ray was working and I had the boys with me. Susan says they can stay for the class but my two wouldn't sit still long enough or behave well enough to let me enjoy it. Will just need to look forward to next week

[linus]

at least your two didnt take pizza suppers with them and get you chucked out

Hey Carol, you maintained thats great pity the kids would'nt sit still, i'd have given them what for or bribed them

Right i'm trying to have a go at SW (in a fashion ) i say in a fashion because i can't get Cadbury desserts and cakes over here so i have to get something that i think is close to it i just had a FF choc pudd for after my lunch and i'm guesstimating about 5 syns should be close enough. Its a pity there is'nt a formula to work out syns if there is its eluding me i know that Veggie mentioned that she'd read that a syn equals 20 cals but i can't see that being right well, not according to some of the recipes that i have. Look at these for example :- Baked chocolate alaska = 6.5 syns on both red and green then this, juicy fruit crumble = 5.5 syns on both red and green. The baked alaska has a whopping 21.2g fat and is 450 cals and the crumble is 2.9g fat and 120 cals and yet there is only 1 SYN difference in these two desserts both serve 6 btw so its not the serving size i just find it a confusing system anyone else? I had Alphagetti pasta shapes with wholemeal toast for lunch only problem is in the ingredients they list cheddar cheese i don't think there is cheese in pasta shapes or spaghetti over there is there? does anyone know? this could be my downfall if i don't watch things like this like all the extra syns i'm having like beer and desserts won't does anyone know how many syns there are in trifle sponges? i call them Ladyfingers. I snack on them cos they're only about 30 cals each, mind you theres .5g fat in each of them.

[veggie]

I don't think you have to have cadburys anything on sw

Any free bits of for example juicy fruit crumble (umm the fruit?) would still be free and lower the syn value. I dunno what's in baked alaska. I have fruit that's free for sure.

[veggie]

Ok I googled for baked alaska recipe. Eggs are free so they wouldn't be counted. So if 300 cals of it were eggs that would make it similar syn value as the other one.

2 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened
1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
8 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar

[veggie]

Hmm I have just seen the word chocolate in between baked alaska good job there's none about

[veggie]

Me again 4 syns in tesco trifle sponges.
