I nearly didn’t go today……
I missed the 9am meeting and had no intention of going to the 10.30am one either….. I’ve had a bad week food wise. I’ve totally lost control of the snacking and I didn’t want to see my leaders face when she told me I’d gained.
You’d be forgiven for thinking Easter has been and gone.
Not in my house. While my husband was out late last night I “found” a forgotten Creme Egg Easter Egg belonging to one of the kids. I ate it in front of Eastenders, every last morsel. I think it took me about 5 mins tops. I’ve been a nightmare this week with chocolate.
I think we all have our bad food whether it be cheese, chinese etc, mine is and always has been the chocolate. I can’t just have a little, and so I have none (other than WW substitutes), but last week I bought a Curly Wurly, and I kidded myself it was a one off. I then had one four days in a row, topped off with the creme egg. Ugh. Devil chocolate.
So after dropping the kids to school I settled down to watch Claire Richards “My Big Fat Wedding” on iPlayer.
After that, I practically ran to the later meeting to get weighed. If you haven’t had the chance to watch it you really should. From a weight loss perspective it is truly inspirational.
Anyway, in summary, I gained 1lb. It could have been much much worse. So I’m really glad I went to the meeting, without the pep talks from my WW friends, I think a bad week would have turned into a bad fortnight or perhaps even a complete wagon dismount. I was feeling that bad. Don’t underestimate the value of your Weightwatchers meetings!!
I came home renewed, did 10 mins on the trampette, then cleared the house of a few other eggs that were hanging about in cupboards. The kids don’t want them, and I don’t need them.
I went out to Tesco and did a shop for some ingredients, I’m going to get back into cooking from the WW Recipe books, they really are fab. It’s just so easy to get out of the habit, so I’m taking control back.
I got the “Weekdays” one today. £7.99 at meetings.
It has 60 recipes but the beauty being that none of them take longer than 30 mins to prepare and cook. Its a good design too, the book sits up and the pages are laminated so it can be wiped down, great for a messy cook like me 
Hope everyone else had a better week than me weight wise

I watched that program last night on iplayer and also found it really inspirational. I began my diet last week and will have my first weigh in tomorrow morning.. im doing it myself at home with the use of the My Fitness Pal website but i think i might try and get hold of some of the weight watchers cookbooks, my mum has some and they look really good. Good on you for sticking with it and good luck for the rest of your weight loss journey xx
Thank you so much. I've added your blog to my reading list and I look forward to following you on your weight loss journey.
Good luck for tomorrow
Exciting times!! xx
I only just been reading the blog last night. Im also on a diet the last few weeks. And i myself have been a bad girl on the bank holiday weekend. ( My vice Mcdonalds and all fast food ) Im back on the diet band wagon now since monday. Ive gone from 11stone 9 to 10 stone 2. My goal is 9stone 7 pounds and my time limit is 16th of june for my holiday. Thanks for the inspiration to be good!
Hi Rachel. You have done amazingly well
I think its really important to remember how far you've come. Sometimes, especially on "fat" days its hard to get perspective isn't it.
I do think the more you lose the harder it is to get off, I've been on a bit of a plateau the last month really and I think upping the exercise is now unavoidable. Yeeeuck!!

I stayed the same this week which I was happy about as I had a bad week! I bought the WW calculator today which might give me some fresh inspiration to count my points!
No gain, no pain
The calculator is a god send for me, otherwise I cheat and tell myself I've more points left than I actually do
You've finally inspired me, I am joining my very first weight watchers class on Monday night. I figure throw myself in the deep end on Monday's and take it from there. Summer '09 hotness here I come!
