Tools

Sticking to plan comes naturally when you know how. I went out shopping with my friend this morning. I came back with all sorts of wet weather gear to allow me to keep active through the winter. I am refusing to buy any clothes until I need new ones due to weight loss.

We went for a carvery after that. Sounds like a dieter's worst nightmare, right? Wrong. I have been given the tools to deal with such a situation. I had meat (I cut off all the visible fat and counted syns for the fat it had been cooked in). I refused a yorkshire pudding (something I have never previously done). I had one roast potato and syned it. I had one roast parsnip and syned it. I had green beans (free), carrots (free), peas (free), red cabbage (free), the teeniest bit of stuffing you have ever seen (syned) and a delicate drizzling of gravy (syned). It was delicious. I felt in control and did not get over-full. You really can eat like this on slimming world and still lose weight. You just have to make the right choices. I am really pleased.

Whilst in town, I also got my halloween outfit. Exciting times :-)
