OK, so I'm not sure where to start with this. Just wrote my introductory post in the newbies section so don't want to repeat myself too much.
A basic catchup: 37pp daily allowance. Been doing Propoints alone (calculator, no meetings/online) for 16 weeks now, 2 stone 5lbs gone, not found myself too hungry, or found it *too* difficult to be honest. Had a couple of wobbles and stumbles (hence the rubbish loss you can see in my sig for the past few weeks), but yes on the whole I'm finding it a positive experience.
I was always a compulsive eater, I wanted as much food as I could, as often as I thought I could get away with (but obviously couldn't get away with it!). It was weird having to stop doing this and think about I was eating, but it wasn't so severe a shock that I gave up instantly.
I know four people who have tried propoints and haven't stuck with it for one reason or another, so I'm quite proud of myself for doing so for so long!
So right now I'll skip to today, you don't want my life story! Today involved going to the cinema to see Harry Potter. This normally involves copious amounts of food, which doesn't fill me up, so I come home and eat more. Haven't been to the cinema since starting propoints, so in a MASSIVE turnaround, I took 5pp worth of Twiglets (two little multipack bags) and a diet coke, and that was me set up! Impressive when the people I went with had nachos and popcorn but there we go.
Not so sure I'll be writing up a detailed food diary (as I don't keep one), so you'll mostly find my "musings" (and complaints no doubt) here.
