Hello!
I'm Sarah (my middle name as I don't want to be found!) and I've been on this site for years. Firstly on this section and then on Slimming World. I've always struggled with my weight and made some good progress a while ago, losing 3.5 stone and then keeping about 2/3 of that off for the years I was at uni, but since last Summer I have piled it all back on about a stone more. It makes me so sad!
Since last Summer I had a difficult break up, my Granny died, I got into a new lovely relationship and I've spent 2 months in America so I am not surprised I put on weight!
I thought about my weight a lot in America and used it as a good time to think but didn't try to diet out there... Really no point as we are out every day! However, many times I felt I couldn't do things I wanted to because of my weight and size so I am going to use this as motivation!
Anyway, I'm going to stick with calorie counting as this was the best for me before and it does work. I can't afford the gym at the moment but will be walking and cycling more until I can.
So here is my diary for today...
B: Muller light strawberry and banana
L: cous cous salad from a deli with two small pieces of baguette
D: wrap, low fat cream cheese, ham, salad, tomatoes and wotsits.
I only came home from America yesterday hence lunch out and a strange dinner. However, calories are less than 1200 and my aim is 1700.
In my future posts I'll be more specific about calories but for now just a quick post as I am exhausted from travelling and Jetlag!!
