Hello everyone

I have decided to do the 1200cals a day diet, I've done it before, and I lost a lot of weight on it, I have been on slimming world and it's just not for me, I don't like looking for 'syns' I just find it a hassle, I'd rather just look at the packet and judge for myself if it's ok to eat, instead of being restricted,

Anyhow, reasons for wanting to loose the flab, I have gained 4 stone in the past year and a half I think with just being comfortable in relationship etc, so I really need to get my weight under control because I have so many nice clothes I can't fit into!!

I started yesterday, stuck to it and felt brilliant :) so here is yesterday's food diary

Looking good, my only suggestion would be to have a lighter lunch on the days you know you're going to be naughty in the evenings for :) I am an awful late night eater so I try and allow enough calories for this (old dog, new tricks etc)

I also thought you skipped lunch, but I forget some people call lunch dinner >.<

eta: the title made me laugh too :)
Keep going, anyway :)
 
Haha I wasn't planning on being naughty yesterday :p I had my jam on toast n crisps at 1pm then waited until about 8pm to eat cause tgi was packed :-( by this point I had eyed up everyone's burgers felt ill, and faint and was that hungry all I wanted to do was go home :-/ peer pressure and 12oz burger made me get it haha luckily I only managed half it was huge!

Yep dinner, tea this girls a northern girl haha
