Thread: SIMPLY FILLING DIARY ... So close to goal ......

Hi

I'm a newbie like you - and I don't know how you are managing on so little food during the day. I don't have anything left in the evening but I eat a lot more food in the day. I have 2 weetabix for breakfast, then chicken salad for lunch (maybe with 2 oatcakes) and then a main meal in the evening. I eat fruit for snacks. I'm can manage without chocolate and my main problem is portion sizes. Are you feeling hungry on the amount that you are eating, or feeling fine? I suppose that might tell you if you should be eating a bit more during the day. Good to know that if you want to use so many points on chocolate then you can.
Good luck!

Hey, strangely enough before i started this diet, i was eating a lot less than i do now (breakfast - 1toast, dinner, soup n a yogurt, tea crackers n cheese ... then crisps in the evening) so i assume my body is use to it? i dunno, maybe my metabolism will start to kick in as i go along .... i never snack between meals because of my diabetes, just be taught never to by my nurse .. usually im at work so its impossible to do so anyway(im a nurse) ..... ive often wondered myself if i was eating too little ... as i always have like 8points left in the evening ..... thanks for bringing it up tho, how you finding the diet? im in love with food finally because of this diet .. i have struggled for so many years with eating disorders that ive often not allowed myself certain foods, but now i eat potatoes, pasta and chocolate ...... its great xxxxxxxx

You could try normal foods if you really want to use all your points, I don't tend to use 'low fat' things as such, I use my extra weekly points for treats. The problem with me is once I eat a little bit of chocolate that's all I have on my mind and before I know it I'm raiding the cupboard without realising and eating it all!!
Also about the bread, even though it says 3pp for one slice of normal bread in the guide, the asda's own bread that I use (nice for toast ) is 2pp each slice and doesn't go up as you use more so 2 slices is actually 4pp, i've now learnt to check everything with my points wheel because sometimes it's less

Ohhh cheers for that, is that Asda normal sized medium bread? Ive been lookin for some better bread than what i got now ... xxxx

What times your wi?

I weigh at home so did it wen i got up ... 1 pound off .... bit gutted but way better than putting on eh xxxxx

Cool 1lb is great, I lose weight slowly.
But as my leader always says it's better to lose it slowly n it stay off than to lose it really quick n not get time to learn to change your lifestyle permanently x

Sorry I've been offline for a few days. I'm starting to get the hang of the points plan now. It really makes a difference to write everything down doesn't it? I'm only on my 2nd week and it should be weigh in tomorrow but the meeting has been cancelled so I'm hoping that doesn't throw me off track. Today I've had:
2 weetabix
Chicken salad
WW fruit cereal bar
Banana
Lamb in pitta bread with low fat humus and salad
2 x bacardi and coke!

Thankyou Alona

Hi claire, just having a little nose at your diary and threads hope u dont mind.
I see you said you sts on your second week,how are you doing now?have u had a WI since then??in my first week i had philidelphia on ww toast for breakfast everyday and i only lost 1.5 (the girl i joined with who only weighs a little more than me,lost 4.5) so my leader said maybe im eating too much bread,so on my second week i had fruit and cereal bar for breakfast or just fruit,and i lost 2pound. Just a little thought really if your still not having losses.
Also i pigged out soo much on my third week and gained 1.5! I was soo upset but it motivated me to b good the next week,and week 4 i lost 3 so im in my 5th week so far and only plan to do it for 7weeks in total as then in going on holiday and will hopefully be slimmer.

Good luck xxx
