Cards on the table. Not a fantastic end of the week and ended up in Brewers Fayre having a burger and chips. One of those days in work where people constantly brought flows of cake, donuts and chocolate. The scales tomorrow will reveal the damage, I tried hard when I could, but at the end of the day I will attend the meeting as always and take inspiration like I always do.
I haven't posted in a while as I have been so busy but have not had the best of efforts over the last few weeks. Let's struggle together!

Groan. Six weeks and I'm not beyond 12st 9. Up and down like a yo-yo.
I need to find a way to get myself through this tough period as I keep eating and eating. I guess I'm tired of fighting to keep to the plan day in, day out. was going to try No Count today (26th September) but I've managed to forget my planned lunch so I'll have to now buy something that isn't on No Count as nowhere seem to stock any thins. I am very down and about to give up on everything, but at the same time, I know that if I give up then I will make things ten times as bad for myself. Watch this space, maybe I will muster the strength from somewhere to combat these awful feelings.... View each pound you lose as a single step - one step closer towards your goal. Even if some steps are over rugged rock, and some steps are on smooth sand; each step takes you forward. So don't get frustrated, just take that next step and congratulate yourself each time you do.
Perseverance is key to weight loss. Even when you are feeling rubbish, it is vital to continue to make the right food choices.
Being a woman, how I feel each day depends on where I am in my monthly cycle. I think most women out there would agree. Fluid retention each month drives me bonkers as it makes me feel heavy, sluggish and a 'what's the point' attitude to everything where food is concerned. No matter what you do when you try to lose weight, nothing seems to be making me feel better. It takes two days for my body to sync into motivation whenever I have a blip, and over the last few days it has proved to me that it is vital to keep going, regardless of how fat or thin you may feel on any given day. I have come back onto the wagon after three weeks of days where I have started brightly and ended on a negative attitude towards the plan - often without intention. This week however, I have given myself a chance and basically stopped worrying, and let food take a back seat in my life. Boy, what a difference a change of attitude has made to my outlook on life. So the message this time folks is, DON'T GIVE UP! See you next time :o) xxx Such a struggle again this weekend. For the last three weeks, like a lot of people, I feel that I have lost that spark and the point of it all. To help me along I am going to post my daily tracker on my Facebook group every day from today to try and reel myself in. I feel angry with myself, I have let myself down, and yet again I am fighting to get out of another hole at the side of the road. I hate this :(
I would appreciate if my followers would offer some insight into how they crack that feeling of being stuck in a rut, and in a few weeks I will compile the best ones into a page on this site. Remember, Welsh Weight Watcher is on Facebook (search 'Welsh Weight Watcher'), so head on over there to discuss all things Weight Watchers; whether you are a member or not..

Ladies, you can appreciate what I'm talking about today on my blog, and that is the nightmare that comes with fluid retention and the dreaded 'monthly visit'. This week was carb city in my house with cravings galore. As a result of this, my body ballooned beyond my control and I could not do a thing about it. Cue a 2.5lbs weight gain at the scales this week and a not very happy Siani to boot. It has always been a loss to me why we have to suffer each month, undoing the hard work of a saintly couple of weeks. I dread the hunger and the weight gain each month. I would love to hear from other WW members as to how they cope with the monthly curse, and how they get back on the wagon afterwards. Comment below :) They say the key to successful weight loss is being good 80% of the time, and be naughty 20% of the time. It keeps your diet balanced, and gives you the opportunity to have what you crave too.
I attended a wedding last weekend, so my week this week is certainly a four day off, three day on approach. My plan was to go away from Thursday to Sunday and have a complete rest from the plan, and then onwards from Monday - Wednesday to try and claw back what damage I may have done. It's safe to say that I definitely enjoyed my time away, and it has been relatively easy to get back on the plan. Being unwell certainly helped, as I wasn't that hungry Monday and Tuesday, but I have a meal out on Saturday which will definitely test the waters and my resolve! I have decided that this week my treat day will move from a Thursday to a Saturday, so that I can enjoy my day without feeling that bothered about it. I hope all of you are having a brilliant week, and see you all soon! :) I've had my fair struggles this week, not least because no 1 daughter was poorly for a few days and I turned to food for comfort. Don't we worry so much about our children? And quite rightly too if you ask me!
I've had a pretty decent couple of weeks, and I am now under 13st for the first time in a couple of years! I am so happy about that. One secret that I have almost forgotten about really, is the fact that I do not snack hardly at all, and the only thing I have outside of my three meals is my 4sp dessert I make sure I have every day. I feel I look forward to it, be it 75g of low fat custard and a sugar free jelly pot, or approx 50g of ice cream; and I think that is a very important thing. However, I remember a time when snacks were THE most important part of my day. Each day, at 10.30am, I would wonder what 2sp treat I could give myself at that particular time. Recently though, I have noticed that on good days, I don't snack at all. On bad days, I snack quite a bit, but it's only in the evenings. I wonder if that's why I have managed to keep a lid on any weight gain. I have a wedding this week, where my beautiful 4 year old daughter is a flower girl. And needless to say, I know I will gain a bit of weight. But I am REAL, not PERFECT, and that line will be drawn on Sunday morning when I return from Southampton. Onwards and upwards (well, downwards!) #mywwjourney. Please use hashtag #welshweightwatcher to discuss my blog! Thank you! This week's weight - 12st 10
Weight loss - 2lbs Total weight loss - 32.5lbs Yey - 2lbs off this week! I'm on fire and I am so motivated to lose this weight. I'd had a pretty rubbish weekend, as gastric flu hit the family which left us feeling quite washed out I wouldn't recommend it as a weight loss method by the way, it's rather under-rated! Anyway, sorry to all my readers that I have been away for a bit, but I've had a busy couple of weeks so bear with me if I don't manage to post on here every week. Hope all of you are doing well in your weight loss journeys, and I would like to hear your stories in my comment box below so that we can all talk about our journeys together, whether it's with Weight Watchers or just trying to do it on our own. Happy Tracking! |
