i have decided to write up my food consumption in a tell-all diary, so that i can shame myself into detailing everything i put into my mouth, as well as the exercise i do to counteract it.
having flicked through my food diary of the past few months to look for any anomalies, i have noticed an increasing number of instances where i have gone over on cals and NOT tried to balance this by eating less the next day.
recipe for disaster! My new plan is kind of like the lunch-box diet, which i heard about from another thread, although i will still be counting the cals (which is not done in the diet)
basically i will be having my normal breakfast and dinner, and creating a box of stuff to pick at throughout the day, without having a set 'lunch'. this suits me fine, as i go for walks on my lunch break anyway and that means i can extend those, as i will not have to leave time to eat.
i will also include my steps for the day, as well as any other exercise i undertake. i think this will help me, as i will have to include everything i do, and it will act as the angel on my shoulder, when that pesky 'snacking' devil appears.
wish me luck!!!
