Food Lover's Diary

Hey guys

This is my second diary on here, I had one in the Weightwatcher's forum which I started in November in 2012 but stopped using it as much in the last year.
I dropped two stone going from 12.7 to 10.7 (even reaching 10.5 at one stage!) for my 21st birthday. Since finishing college and moving to a new house with a new job the weight has been creeping back on. I've been finding it hard to get a hold on it and seem to constantly be hungry. I also joined a nearby gym but trying to motivate myself to go more.

I work long shifts as a support worker and also have endometriosis, both these things mean I get exhausted really easily. No excuses though for putting on weight after I tried so hard to loose it! The last time I weighed myself I was 11.5. There's no weighing scales in my house so I'll have to wait till I get home to my parents house on Friday to get a proper weigh in, I'm guessing I'm going to be about 11.7. Hopefully not much more than that!

My first thought when I woke up this morning was "ugghhh I feel so fat"-not good!! I don't really have much of a plan. I decided not to follow WW again as it makes me obsess over food and points. I'm just going to make an effort to cut down and do it slowly on top of going to the gym. I only have a stone to loose
My calorific downfalls are chocolate, cheese, wine, bread, chips, pizza, takeaways etc etc. I love everything!

This is my motivational picture for today as I was in the hospital this morning and couldn't work up the energy after to go the the gym


I'm annoyed at myself as I won't get a chance to go tomorrow either. I have work training in the morning then another hospital appointment. I'm meeting my boyfriend after for dinner. I always find when I decide to try and lose weight there's always some kind of dinner or occasion that comes up!
Today could have gone worse, I'll post up what I ate to be judged by all you skinny minnies!

24/09/2013

So here is what I ate today. Could have been better but it's not as bad as I have been!:

Brie and grape sandwich on wholemeal bread from Marks and Spencers

Omelette with cheddar, onion, mushroom and onion. Four sesame ryvita crackers with low fat butter.

Bowl of Benefit cereal with red berries and low fat milk. Cup of green tea.

Weightwatchers spaghetti bolognase.

Didn't get to the gym but did 50 squats!

Hey honey
Found your new diary.

You'll get that stone off in no time. Its hard when everything changes at once and it's only normal for it to throw you a little.
But eat less, move more is the most natural way of loosing weight and you had a good day yesterday.
No reason you can't enjoy your dinner out and still be good. I've gotten quite good at picking the better options from the menu pre planning def helps if you know where you're goin. And other point is remember-you'll be out again for meal soon. I found I went crazy cos it was like-woohoo I'm out for meal, this is a treat, this never happens and ate all round me.
Anyway hon, I'm here for any support I can give . X

Good luck lovely, you'll get there soon I'm sure! x

Thanks guys

I looked at the menu for tonight, it's a steak place so not many options. Could get the soup starter then a small steak with mashed potato. Not ideal for weight loss but better than a giant pizza or something! I had another brie sandwich from Marks and Spencer for my breakfast, bit of a weird breakfast the last two days but they were buy one get one free so picked them up yesterday after the hospital. I forgot I had some fruit yesterday too I may add that into my diary
Today is turning into a disaster already, my battery went on my phone in the middle of the night and my alarm never went off so I missed my training It was only for a couple of hours but I'm annoyed at myself! I've decided instead of lazing around until it's time to go to the hospital I'm going to go to the gym. Starting the couch to 5k to get me on track with the treadmill. I find I work a lot better when I have a plan. So I'll do day 1 of the C25K then do some weights. I have cuppa soup and ryvita there for my lunch when I get back. Off I go!

Feeling sore after the squats last night and gym this morning! Did day 1 of the couch to 5k which took nearly half an hour then went on the rower for about ten minutes since all the weights were taken!

Well done. That's a great start. Great idea to do couch to 5k on treadmill. I'm thinking of starting it again. So maybe we cud keep each other goin on that.
You're doing well hon. x

Just wanted to wish you good luck in your weight loss journey! I am also doing a run 5k thing for 8 weeks, I mix it between usingy treadmill at home and doing it outside for change of scenery. Hope it's all going well xx

Awh thank you! Yeah would love a C25K buddy I'm working all day today and overnight so trying to behave. Last night was great had a smoked salmon starter and steak main. Had a galaxy caramel bar for my dessert! And a few glasses of wine so not too much damage. I'll post up today's food later on tonight. Weighing myself tomorrow! Praying I'm not over 11.7

I've never tried it hon. But I know a few people need something different. Hope it works out for you. x
