what you doing having cereal for breakfast and dinner LOL.. (i used to do it all the time!!!)

hope you are feeling ok....

 

[i love diamonds]

I always used to do that aswell Kes! I think that was a contributor to my weight because I would have cereal for dinner then eat rubbish for the rest of the night. I had cereal for dinner yesterday because I had a late lunch and I wasn't very hungry. I have noticed my appetite has gone down loads. Before I would have a massive bowl of cereal for breakfast and now half a bowl fills me up. Also my dinner portions have gone down which is good and I'm not constantly thinking about food like I used to.

I have my first weigh in with the nurse tomorow. I'm quite excited. I hope the scales show a nice loss but the scales they use aren't digital and I don't even know if they're going to be the same scales as I weighed on last time. I think the nurse said they wanted me to lose 5lbs in the first 4 weeks, so fingers crossed I've lost at least that on their scales.

Todays food

Breakfast
2 chocolate weetabix with semi skimmed milk

Lunch
tin of sainsburys bgty spicy tomato and 3 bean soup

[bunny_hops]

I used to have such bad eating habits, cerals and porridge were part of it..the kids love cereals too,and ive got a whole cupboard dedicated to cereals...

frosties,coco pops,weetabix,cheerios, honey cheerios, shreddies,frosted shreddies,rice crispies,sultana bran, honey hoops, choc 'n' rolls, clusters....the list is endless.. theyre always on offer in asda and i stock up loads.. however im stopping it now..there isnt too much keft now and once the kids have ate them,im not buying anything aoart from cronflakes, fruit and fibre, bran flakes, rice crispies and weetabix...a much more healthier breakfast cupboard

 

[i love diamonds]

Bunnyhops your cereal cupboard sounds EXACTLY like mine! I love cereal and I used to eat a bowl in the evening sometimes even if I had already had dinner. I think I got into that habit because my mum always used to tell us to have supper, which would be a bowl of cereal before bed. The bowls would be filled to the top aswell. I only have half a bowl in the morning now and that satisfys me until lunchtime.

 

[i love diamonds]

Today I had my weigh in at the doctors andI've lost 12lbs in less than 4 weeks. The nurse was very happy with this and told me to keep up the good work I'm pleased she was happy with my progress.

lol...i would eat a huge bowl in the morning,a really late lunch would involve cereals,i'd eat dinner a huge bowl of cereals or porridge or cheese and potato pie then i'd have cereals again..thats what it was like when i was living at home. im so fussy with food,i dont eat meat or fish, so i'd live on cheese pot pie, or cauliflower and cheese...

im glad that my habits have changed for he good now..my kids love cereals too, my eldest has them for dinner! hes fussy just like i was!

ive got a mega box of coco pops in the cupboard that i may just treat myself to when theyre open

 

[i love diamonds]

Wow bunny, you really do love cereal! lol.

Today I've been feeling really down and when I feel like this I have absolutely no motivation to exercise. I have had a good day eating wise but I've felt like I couldn't be bothered to do anything today.

Todays food

Breakfast
2 chocolate weetabix with semi skimmed milk

Lunch
3 sainsburys bgty rice cakes with laughing cow extra light on top
bag of ryvita minis

Dinner
chicken stir fry with lots of veg, fresh egg noodles and schezwan sauce

Drinks
2 litres of water

I don't know if I'm eating enough. On myfitnesspal it says I should be eating 1400cals a day but I'm eating about 1000cals. Surely the less calories the better though? I'm only eating less because I'm not that hungry anymore.

 

[Kes]

you are not the only one that happens too..
it sounded like it was coming out of my mouth
i feel pretty crap (prob from my bad day yesterday) and i have no motivation what so ever...

 

[i love diamonds]

Fingers crossed tomorows a better day for us both Kes.

Today I've felt alot more hungrier than usual. I logged in yesterdays food on myfitnesspal and it said I only had 700cals, I think that's why I've been more hungry today. I've had a migriane all day so I haven't done any exercise.

Today's food

Breakfast
2 chocolate weetabix with semi skimmed milk

Lunch
leftover stir fry from yesterdays dinner
weight watchers caramel crunch desert

Dinner
Innocent Mexican veg pot

Dinner
Innocent Mexican veg pot

I had that tonight....what did you think? I hadn't had it before but I thought it was quite nice. I had to do some extra veg to go with it though. Did it fill you up on its own?

 

[i love diamonds]

I really liked it. I would definately have it again. I had it on it's own and it filled me up but my appetite has gone down alot. Did you get it from Tesco? They're on special there at the moment.

Today my tooth has been killing me and it's been hard to eat and drink. Even drinking tepid water is going straight through it. I couldn't face dinner because I'm too scared of the pain. I've got a dentist appointment tomorow so hopefully it will get sorted.

Todays food

Late breakfast/brunch

Late lunch

Yeah, I did. I also got the Italian Mushroom one as well. hope they're still on offer when I next do my shopping. I'll definitely be stocking up.

Sorry to hear about your tooth. I've had my fair share of dental problems over the years, so I know how miserable it can make you feel. It's so hard to concerntrate on anything else when you've got toothache, isn't it?
Hope you get it sorted out tomorrow

[Kes]

sorry to hear about your tooth ache....
not nice...
hope the dentist goes well.

i had a better day today, although i have had a head ache.... so maybe going out in sympathy pains for you
