So that's my march diary... Im glad I did it but really found that my food is really not that adventurous!! And I probably eat too many syns!! The weight loss is slow but it's consistent and coming off so I will continue as I am. I was debating whether to do an April diary but I think I will. I've found that when I'm on an eating everything in sight binge(!) I think - oh I have to write all this down and someone might read it and that stops me. I also find that the next day I'm back on track and no guilt about the day before's binge! I did used to be a bit of a secretive eater so the diary thing is definitely helping!

Here's to April slimmers! X
