So. Here I am again.
The amount of times I've started these diaries and explained how I got fat blah blah blah is ridiculous. In short I blame it on an unfortunate working away lifestyle and an inability to resist temptation of "dirty" food.
Dirty. There's a concept. "Clean" eating is a real trend at the moment. I just don't think I could do that constantly though. All those converted talk about how it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle. This I agree with but the fear of god that I know is put into those that worship "clean" eating, when I suggest going out for tea is ridiculous. That's not a lifestyle I want.
I'm a girl that wants to lose weight (but let's face it what girl doesn't!) but I don't want to lose my social life and the things I enjoy doing.
After failed attempts at Slimming World (effective but got bored), Weight Watchers (starved myself) and IF (this lasted all of 7 hours before I ripped someone's head off and decided it was a shocking idea!) I've decided that good old fashioned healthy eating, a bit of activity, portion control and being a bit more conscious about what I put in my gob is the way to go!
I figure if I don't set myself strict rules about what I eat, I can't break them and consequently feel so awful I fall off the wagon. Here's hoping eh
I'm also losing weight for charity. My friend is running the Brighton marathon next year for Joining Jack (a charity very close to my heart) and I told her I'd sponsor her a pound for every week she continued training. It's a year away.
But I've had a better idea. I'm going to match every pound I lose with a real life pound whilst she is still training and donate this every week (I'm skint this week though so gonna have a couple of maccies!! I joke....)
Anyway. Here it is. My bit of everything food diary
It would be great if anyone's along for the ride!
