Hi there,
Im new to this place, and am looking for some support and maybe help?
I started my diet on Friday. i am following the slimming world extra easy diet.
it went well for the first day, but then when i was looking in my kitchen for some healthy options to make for my meals, i realized that i did have anything in that would suit the plan. i'd gone shopping not to long before i decided i wanted to start my diet, so wasn't prepared.
anyway i figured i would just do what i can with the food i have until next month, and then i will do it properly.
the reason why i say next month is because we do a monthly shop.
I decided to sit down and do my self a weekly diet plan, so that i could make a shopping list of everything i would need.
i decided it would be a lot easier if i did a weekly shop so that i could buy fresh fruit and veg and not have to worry about it lasting.
i worked out each meal and portion, so i knew exactly how much i needed for the week.
i made sure that the meals were simple so that it would be cheap, and once i had completed my weekly shopping list i decided to check to see how much it would be...
the cheapest was Asda @£66.24!!!!!!!!!! for one person to eat a healthy balanced diet a week!
as i mentioned earlier, i live with my partner and we go shopping once a month. we spend £100 for both of us! (thats our upper budget)
i checked on price comparison sites and this is the cheapest i could find.
i also made a point of choosing the cheapest option for each item rather that going for quality. such as smart price and so on...
£66.24 a week - thats approximately £264.96 per month! FOR ONE PERSON! thats enough to feed a whole family if your not on a diet!
i physically can not afford it. and THIS is why i always start diets and then stop. because its so expensive!
i just don't know what to do...has anyone else had the same problem? how do you all deal with this?
