Weekend Treat Struggles

[MissMogwai]

I'm back on the Slimming World wagon as I've piled the weight on during the past 2 years.

During the week I'm fine but weekends are my downfall. I've got into some terrible
habits and rewarding myself with food means I'm fat, nackered and feeling unhealthy.

Any recommendations for free or low syn treats please?

I know the usual stuff, just looking for inspiration!

I really like the Skinny Dream Rocky Road. They are 3syns each, which is actually pretty low for a snack/cereal bar thing, or you can have 2 for your Hb option. I get them in Poundland, 1.50 for a 5 pack.

Those look nice @Kookookachuu. I keep meaning to make the cheesecake that is around the same syn value.

Looking for inspiration too as I'm exactly the same. Weighed 11st 13pounds on Friday (4lb loss in two weeks) and have just weighed myself today and I'm 12st 1lb! How can I put on 2lbs in one weekend?!!!

I had a few drinks on Friday which led to snacking when I got home but still - I don't understand how one bad day can lead to a 2lb gain when it takes a week of being ultra strict to lose the same amount! I'm gutted with myself.

But, I'm determined to draw a line under it and stick at it. But yeah OP, weekends are totally downfall too. It feels like you can't lose weight and have a "life"! 😢

A platter of your favourite fruit with a bowl of quark mixed with a 11g hot chocolate options sachet. 2

Muller light yogurt in freezer make it more like frozen yogurt. 0.5 *checking on syn of individual yogurt

Metcalf's sweet & salty popcorn 13g 3.5
A family member bought me some gingerbread popcorn for Christmas. I fail to remember the make, a posh one and thar was 5 for 25g. Utterly delicious.

@Valkyrie40 I doubt that is a real gain. Honestly don't lose heart. Its the number that happens over the weeks and months that matter, not the weekend. About two weeks ago I weighed myself and it was showing an 8 lbs gain within 3 days. That week I gained 1 lbs. Fluctuations are very normal.

Thanks LeftyLou - I know, you're right. I think my mistake was weighing myself today and not waiting til Friday which is my "weigh in day".

Some good ideas for snacks there too thanks. I'm going to put my muller light in the freezer now and try it later.

@Valkyrie40. I never weigh mid week, people can vary enormously, apparently. Sure when you get to Friday it will be a lot better result. If it makes you feel any better, I've been away and not syned stuff properly. I've done a reasonable amount of excercise, by my slovenly standards, and am hoping the weigh in on Thursday won't be too bad, but we'll see. Either way, I'm back on plan, having enjoyed a few extra holiday treats.
