Sometimes...

.. I feel that I can't possibly lose weight given the amount I'm eating and the amount I eat out still!

As I've mentioned already we've had a bit of stress over my Husband's work and outstanding invoices, meh I hate money worries. So being two responsible adults with two young children obviously we decided the best course of action was to eat out ALOT cause wasting money on eating out will help right? lol!

I think we just decided we needed to just get on with things because as my new mantra states 'everything passes' so why worry ourselves now when the situation is very much under control. I have every faith that my husband will be able to find another contract in the next two weeks.

Anyway I digress, my point is I have a small amount of guilt over the amount we've eaten out from the weight loss point of view. I still can't see how I can lose weight while not depriving myself, its so programmed in its taking a while to get my head round it! I've even managed to stay within my daily points after eating out for breakfast and getting Wagamamas takeout for dinner! Feels truly naughty but I know I'm well within my points and have been honest in my tracking. I feel I've made good choices so I'm still hoping for a loss this week.

Operation back to basics is still going well I think. I've done well on the tracking front and done a fair amount of activity with walking and swimming this morning, its just the eating out bit I've not really managed to reduce after the last two days. I'm not too worried as family meals out and enjoying the weekend are fine in my opinion its mainly the takeaways during the week instead of cooking that I feel we need to reduce to a very occasional thing.

I'm still on track for a loss especially because I'm hoping to get through the next two days just using daily points. I really hope I lose this week because I feel like another bad weigh in would not be good for my morale! Do you hear that Weight watcher gods??!

Fingers crossed for a good two days and a movement on the scales in the right direction!
