Hi everyone, well i am new here and am trying to adjust to the layout but its all a bit confusing right now! I am gonna try real hard to adjust to it though as i really need support!
Well i am 20st7lb i have battled with every diet i can think of! I have 2 children Joey who is 3 and Cleo who is 1, and i am desperate to really do it this time for them aswell as me! I dont wanna be the fat mum in the playground and i already miss out on so much with the kids like swimming.
So i done sw twice and each time i lost 2 stone in 2 months and then that was it nothing more no matter how i hard i tried, i went to doctor who was very understanding and ran some tests and turned out i had PCOS. She suggested i started on xenical to help get me in the right frame of mind as thats my problem with diets.
So i finally plucked up the courage to start them yesterday so far feel ok but i am worried about what i can eat, i am so useless with food that i have no clue, it seems alien to me to allow any fat into my diet, but i have been told i need to be eating it for xenical to work.
Yesterday i had fruit and yoghurt for breakfast as i dont eat breakfast that well so thought that would be a start. For lunch i had 2 slices of granary toast with half a tin of beans and for dinner i had 2 chicken breasts mixed with spring onions cherry tomatoes a spoonful of light mayo a handful of pasta and a sprinkling of grated cheese. I presume this was ok as i had no side effects but looking back there wasnt much fat there at all.
I already no that eating too many carbs doesnt agree with me so i am trying to cut them down.
I just dont no what i am supposed to eat, i no that xenical isnt a miracle pill and really i am using it as a way to train me and my brain into making the right choices with food but i already feel quite restricted and am wondering if i can cope eating like this forever.
Today i had bovril on granery toast for breakfast but i have no clue what to have for lunch or dinner, my husband suggested we go on a picnic today but i have no clue what i can take for me to eat, we went on one last week and took egg may sandwiches, crisps quiche snack eggs cakes etc so thats no good anymore!
Sorry for the long post i just really need some idea of meal ideas i wanna do low fat rather than going back on sw etc
I just feel like i am constantly thinking about food now about what can i eat etc
