Hi, remember me?

*Shuffles in*

Um, I'm the girl who waxed lyrical about the new Weight Watchers ProPoints plan...then promptly fell off the healthy eating wagon after a little holiday in late November. Fall might not be the best word, as it was somewhat voluntary.

As much as I tried, there was zero chance I could stay on the Weight Watchers plan in Disneyland Paris. The majority of meals* were based on re-fried cheese, re-fried chips and, well...it was all pretty much re-fried. McDonalds actually started to look like a healthy option after a couple of days.

While that might have been the excuse while I was away, there was really no excuse for hoovering up an obscene amount of mince pies and turkey sandwiches. I don't even like turkey sandwiches that much.

So here I am, several weeks later and 4.5lbs heavier according to my weigh in at my meeting this morning.

Bugger.

I know the plan works though so I've armed myself with a WW survival pack (above) including the oil spray, measuring spoons, measuring scales and choccie snack bits, and promised my leader Sue I'll get back to blogging. I've got a few other WW resolutions too.

• Try something from the Seriously Satisfying cookbook every week (a book I'd highly recommend by the way, particularly for the entire mouthwatering section based on chocolate)
• Use the measuring spoons, rather than assuring myself that the teaspoon piled dangerously high counts as one serving. It doesn't.
• Renew my friendship with H2O. 
• Find time to exercise, rather than excuses not to.

And here's my eating plan for today.

Breakfast

WW Dark chocolate and orange bar (Eaten at the meeting as I hadn't had time to have breakfast first): 3PP

Lunch

WW Bagel: 4PP

Flora Light: 1PP

WW Carrot Cake (bloody amazing btw) 3PP

Dinner

Small beef fillet steak: 5PP

Cauliflower, mashed with 2 teaspoons of low fat butter and some S&P: 1PP

Other mixed veg, 0PP

Snack

Mixed berry fruit salad: 0PP

Which leaves me with 12PP for a glass of wine tonight (3) and maybe a little cheese sprinkled on the mashed cauliflower. I did a 45 minute workout this morning too, and will be taking the dog for a walk this afternoon.

Not a bad day really, but then it's always a little easier during the weekends. The main struggle is to keep with the plan and ignore those emotional wibbly moments when all I want to do is consume mountains of carbs, chocolate and cheese. Preferably together.

Are you an emotional eater? What do you do to stop yourself doing it?

*The word 'meals' is used in the loosest terms here. I've never had so many rubbish dishes at such obscene prices. The cocktails however, rocked my socks off.
