feeling demotivated and hungry

[firefly78]

Please can i have a kick up the bum. im really struggling to stay on plan. i want to eat. ive had òver my syns today already. just finding it hard :(

Probably too late now. Sorry!

Can you eat some free food? Don't be hungry!

I try and keep a low syn smoked salmon dip in the fridge and snack on that with veg sticks if I feel hungry. It's just a pack of smoked salmon trimmings whizzed in a food processor with some quark, black pepper, dash of lemon juice and a spoonful of horseradish. If you leave the horseradish out it's syn free.

Are there any tins or packets of things that are quick and easy to make that you like? I don't really like mug shots, but they're free food and could be handy in an 'emergency'. Or how about the SW ready meals?

Do you think your meal portions are big enough? I sometimes try and portion control and that doesn't really work for me as I then need to snack later, so I just eat bigger meals and I'm usually too full to snack much.

What sort of things do you use your syns for? Maybe someone can suggest a lower syn alternative?

Have you tried to up your protein intake? Make some chicken tikka pieces and nibble on those, they are free if you use fry light or 1/2 syn if you use the berio olive oil spray. Omelet, tomato and herb mug shots are delicious,free and filling. Slimming world chips with Nandos peri peri salt and beans or jacket potato. I can relate to how you are feeling there are times when I am really ravenous and no amount of salad or fruit fills me up, it time like this I need filling protein food.

I find saving my syns until the evening also helps. I don't tend to go over that way.

Thank you. ive been better but this evening cant stop eating. doesn't help that i have mothers day chocolates and homemade bread!
