I know I do, but how can you go from being a right old 'Scoffer' to trying to be realistic about what is a normal portion?
I've been doing EE for 2 weeks and felt that yes I am losing, but at this rate I'll still be this size come xmas.
I want to be losing 1-2lb a week not 1/2 lb which is slow.
I do think my problem is too much food--
When I have dinner I have loads of meat ,take slices of beef for example-
I will have not 2/3 slices I will have 5/6 slices and they are not small slices either
I will have loads of veg literally piled up and will put 2 yorkys on top of that as well, but because its free i eat loads
Then I will sit there and my belly is telling me to get a banana and a yoghurt,
but my head is saying but im not hungry so why?
Then I will sit there and the little voice is saying ...get it at 9 then you will have waited a few hours for it..
Its like my belly is telling me to get all this food that my head doesnt want.
Im not one of these people that has supper in the evening ,so why now am i feeling the need to get something that i dont want.
Take today for instance- Ive had 2 weetabix and for lunch i had a chicken salad with homemade coleslaw- the mayo content was 7.5 syns but i made a big pot full and probably had about 1 syns worth,also had a big banana and mullerlight- but I know I will have to have a jacket tate and beans for tea and probably more salad, so is this too much or do you think my portion size is the problem here. I know its says on EE that you should have 1/3 plate of veg- I will have at least 1/2 the plateful of veg.
I seriously think I am just a pig and need to reduce my portion size but I am struggling with this.
Please dont suggest going out for a walk at night or do something, because we have a disabled child and we cannot get out (too cold for son),so we sit here every night and watch telly -I would love to go swimming, but I know the minute I start to go my OH will say oh thats fair, what am I supposed to do- we have had this situation for 23 years- so we dont do anything ,because its not fair on the other person . We have 2 daughters but dont ask them to babysit as they will do nothing but moan about it. So we are stuck with the situation.
Any ideas and advice girls??
