I've been dieting for a while now, since Feb, and find some days easier than others. I decided to write this diary to help me on my future bad days. I'm hoping I can look back at this and see what it's taken to get to where I am, weight wise, so I'll hopefully think twice before coming off the diet.
I'm 39 with 3 kids and 3 cats and a hubby. Working part time to fit in with the kids. I'm waiting to have hernia repair surgery next week and have my pre op this afternoon. My turning point for my weight loss was booking a holiday to Majorca for August and I just basically want to look a lot better for the holiday so that I can do more with the children (going on water slides, playing games in the pool with them without feeling embarrased etc). So far my loss has resulted in me dropping from a 22 into an 18 and I'm desperate to be a 16 or below before I go away.
So far today I've eaten 3 dry wholemeal toast with a slice of thin (23 cal) ham on each one and two coffees. Sometimes I have the same for lunch, sometimes a ham, salad wrap, and sometimes pasta salad made with a small spoon of pesto or two dry wholemeal toast with baked beans on top. Tonight I'm having a prawn and veg stir fry. I've noticed I do seem to have a lot of bread but I think I'd find it hard not to as it fills me up better than some other foods. I'd love to hear how others get around hunger issues without blowing the diet.
