Diary of a foodaholic

[Slimfor2013]

I everyone I'm abbie, I'm 22 and live with my partner and 1 year old son.
I have a love hate relationship with slimming world and have done for the past year constantly having one good week one bad ect. It's time to love sw and my body for good so I thought its time to start a food diary to help me along my journey. When I first started slimming world a year ago I weighed 15stone 4 pound and then got down to 14 stone 4 pound I then started doing it from home and failed. Joined again weighing 15 stone 6 but the weight was coming of too slow so I gave up. I returned to slimming world last night weighing 15stone 2.5 and I'm gonna do it this time. My cousin has joined too so I have her support aswell. Enjoy reading my food diary, Support and advice welcome would love to know if I'm doing any thing wrong
Abbie xx

Better that than non stop eating of non plan food abbie.

Home made honeycomb sounds mmmm...:drool:

 

[Slimfor2013]

It is lovely defiantly will have it regularly on a sat night whilst the other half stuffs his face lol I got the recipe of here don't remember who from though

2tbsp clear honey (4syns)
1tbsp sweetener
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (try half teaspoon first to c if it works as it can be overpowering) (0.5syns)

Put honey and sweetener into a saucepan and heat gently until sweetener has dissolved
Alow to boil and bubble gently for a few minutes or until liquid slightly changes to a darker colour (be careful here as there is a very fine line between getting it right and burning it lol)
Add bicarbonate of soda and the mixture should turn foamy make sure all the bicarb is mixed in well (don't taste very nice wen u bite into a big chunk of powder. Yuk!)
Once foamy place into greased tin and wait for it to cool before placing in the fridge to go hard and set
So yummy and so easy xxx

Hi

I've been having a look through everyone's diaries for some extra inspiration and ideas, I just wanted to say good luck! I too tried this diet many years ago and didn't really lose anything. A - due to the fact I don't go to meetings (just don't have the pennies) and B - because I ddn't write down what I was having! I find it so helpful writing a diary on here, it really helps when other members give their support and it's a great ideas factory for meal times!

So I just wanted to say a massive good luck!

p.s I'm going to have to try that honeycomb too!!!

Well done on your weight loss slimfor2013! Fresh start tomorrow for us all.

Hi Rachel1903 from another Midlander!

 

[Rachel1903]

Hi

Wow congrats on your weight loss! That's fab!!! I had the same loss this week (I'm in my 2nd week now!)

I think I'm finding it OK so far, I was doing Red/Green days for the first week but I've decided to go for an EE week this week to help get my head around it a bit more! It takes a while to learn what you can and cannot eat on certain days!

I do have a diary, although it needs a little more inspiration on the menu front! I think there should be a link to it below


Hello WiiFitAddict! do you have a diary for us to nose at?? Hope your week is going well!

 

[vintagepockets]

Well done on your WI and good luck with your weightloss journey.

[Slimfor2013]

I don't know whats wrong with me the past few days I get weighed tonight but coudnt stop eating last night! I had a tiny bit of peanut butter and it set me off! Raiding the cupboards and just snack snack snacking.! I really am interested in trying green days but how do they work opposed to EE? X

 

[Rachel1903]

Hi, I know the feeling! One taste can give me the mega munchies! I too need to get back on the the red/green days, but sometimes it's easier when you have a busy lifestyle to stick to EE! On green and red you can have 2 Hex A's and B's. With red you can fill up on as much meat as you want, and green with as much pasta and potato as you want. I'm new to this so I'm sure there is more I can tell you, but I'm still learning myself! Hence why I'm still on the EE!

Good luck for weigh in

[Slimfor2013]

Thanks for your reply. Lol im glad I'm not the only one! I thought red/green days would b quite difficult but looking in my books it seems quite straight forward I am defiantly gonna give them a go this week to get me back on track
I hate days wen u can't stop picking I was eating a pack of crisps whilst cookin the dinner thinking what am I doing dinners in the oven and I'm not even that hungry. But did it stop me? No it didn't. So I ended up stuffing myself with crap. And then just having sw chips on there own for dinner. I then went on the make a syn free dessert after having untold syns ahh I'm dreading getting weighed my scales say up 1.5 x
