Finding light at the end of the tunnel - Miss K's weight loss diary

Hi all!

I am a returner to Minis and used to spend a lot of time here, I lost about 70lb last year (have put a lot of it back on since ) and couldn't have done it without having my diary to keep track of myself and have others spur me on.

This time I mean it.

I'm 25 and have been big my whole life. When I got down to 235lb I felt so... normal. I was fitting into size 16 in the skinny minnie shops, was getting a lot of attention I'd never had before and felt pretty. I had been in a bad relationship for the previous 3 years and had gotten very big and very down. I'm now with a wonderful man but the content snuggles mean I'm lazy and I have found myself piling the weight back on. I am currently 267lb. I feel fat, ugly and frumpy. I want to feel normal again!

When I lost the weight before I did a lax version of calorie counting - roughly counted cals but wasn't toooooo religious with it as I find I lose weight as long as I cut out the pasta and bread etc! I will struggle more this time though as I'm skint - haha! - so cost of meals is a factor.

so today is day 1.

Breakfast - wasn't up in time, woops!

Lunch - Supernoodles. 340 cal

Tea - 2 chicken breasts. 400 cal
garden peas. 100 cal
spicy bbq sauce. 100 cal

snacks: Asda cookie (woops, Mr always has nice food around, I must learn not to steal). 250 cal
pink lady apple. 85 cal
banana. 100 cal

That brings me to 1375 cal for today. I haven't done any exercise but hope to drag my sorry bum to the gym tomorrow - struggling to face it.

I am a daily weigher (yes I know it's bad) and will update my diary here every day. Here's to a skinny 2013...

Today I have already learned that I need to be more organised!! I am currently having to buy food daily cause my fridge freezer broke so I have very little in the house. Thankfully I'm getting a new one on Monday. But anyway I digress. I'm on Mefenamic and Tranexamic Acid for very heavy painful periods and I have to eat when I take them otherwise I get really sick.

I weighed in at 265.8 this morning.

Breakfast: banana 100cal

Lunch: Asda cookie 250cal (we have nothing else in the house )

Honestly can't wait to have a fridge again, the lack of any food at all in the mornings is driving me nuts and leading me to junk in the cupboard!!

Not a wonderful start to the day but could be worse! I'm off to Holland and Barrett to look into these zero noodles - if they have them in stock I'm then heading round to Lidl to get a little pack of chicken breast and maybe some stir fry veggies for tea - I have high hopes for these noodles, I hope I like them (and that they're in stock!)

I just cooked up some zero noodles, chicken breast and sweetcorn with some spicy sauce and it was lovely! only ate half of what I cooked and I'm full up. Zero noodles are brilliant

so yesterday:

Breakfast: banana 100cal

Lunch: cookie 250cal
sandwich 350cal

tea: zero noodles 10cal
chicken breast 200cal
sweetcorn 100cal

snacks: 4 x pink wafers 200cal
apple 85cal
half a bottle of 7 up 103cal

total for yesterday 1308cal. not too bad, didn't eat particularly healthy but still stayed under my mental limit of 1400.

today so far have had 2 large boiled eggs for breakfast - call that 200cal to be safe. not sure what's for lunch.

weighed in at just under 264lb this morning. yay!
