I have been on this site before. May 2011 to be exact and I loved it. Been back and forward for nearly 5 years trying to be good, watching what I eat but have never stuck with anything. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 15 months now, with no luck and it turns out my cycle is all over the place. Have been advised that I'll need referred to a fertility clinic in March if we're still not pregnant. To get fertility treatment, they advise you to lose weight - so might as well get on it now! And what better motivation?? I am ready and I'm dragging my husband on the journey too, because... why not?
Healthy eating began 4th January 2016 after a false start on the 3rd. Everyone at work is doing Slimming World and I got some bumf to look at and seemed like a good way to go. So here goes. My Food Diary begins.
January 4th 2016 - MONDAY - Day Off
Breakfast
I was getting ready to go out but rustled up a delicious lunch before I left:
Lunch
I was heading to visit friends and knew there would be snacks but she also knows of my new goals! What a lady she is!
Snacks
I came home a little late so needed a quick tea for a very hangry husband and had popped into Tesco on my way home.
Dinner
I was feeling a little peckish at 10pm and hadn't had my Hex B yet!
Snack
I was not hungry! A fairly good start considering my Tesco shop didn’t get delivered until 7.30pm. We have now thrown out all food that we won’t eat, all opened snacks and all sugar!! Replaced it with sweetener, healthy snacks and spray oil. Unopened snacks have been put out of sight, out of mind for a wee treat. Ready to continue on this journey. I am ready.
Tomorrow’s goal… first day at home all day alone. Try not to eat the contents of the fridge. EASY!?
January 5th 2016 - TUESDAY - Day Off
My first day at home all day alone! Usually the day I’d treat myself to a nice breakfast, and a lot of snacks! I was ready.
Breakfast
It’s a miserable day outside, wet and windy! So I'm snuggled up on the sofa.

Feeling good again today. Not hungry and very happy with my choices! I have a friend and her 2 year old boy and 7 month old girl coming tomorrow for lunch. Going to make tuna pasta salad again, super easy and toddler friendly too! I've never met a kid that doesn't like tuna! Got some treats hidden away for him too, and plenty chopped melon left. Another positive day ♥
