I wasn't originally going to do a diary but then I thought it would be a perfect way to vent any excitements or frustrations even if it was just to myself lol.
I had my first weigh in today and I've lost 11lbs. Feeling really motivated and pleased but at the same time I don't want to become complacent as I know it won't be easy to keep the scales going down but darn it I'm certainly in the right mood for trying!lol
Ive always been a 'big girl' but since uni I have literally piled on the weight and last month when I reached my heaviest of 15st 8lb I felt enough was enough and I needed and wanted to try and break my bad food habits. I literally lived on carbs so I knew I needed to do something extreme in order to shift that feeling of reliance I have for comfort food like bread, pasta, crisps , chips etc. That's what I have found most surprising about being on slim and save, after day 2 I had no cravings for my fav foods as listed, and still haven't had any yet so if I can continue on this journey and try and break my old bad habits I know I'll definitely be on to a winner and it'll be easier to maintain!
Food dairy for today:
(last week I had mostly been sticking to 4 packs but decided today to have 3 and a balanced meal)
I had my porridge at around 11- I find I'm not as hungry in morning so try and hold off my first pack.
i then had Thai soup for lunch at around 3 (bit later than usual but had a meeting).
i then made myself a chicken stir fry, with 100gms chicken breast, and just about 200gms of mixed veg- green pepper, courgettes, spring onion, mushrooms, white cabbages. I made it with soy sauce and a tiny bit of Thai spice and it was really delish.
I have a shake for later but still feeling extraordinarily full from dinner lol.
I also drink between 2.5-3 litres of water a day which I am just about getting used to know (and my frequent trips to the loo)
Xx
