Sez
has started again!!
Phew, how many diaries have I started on Minis lately??? Not good is it? Still, I sincerely hope this will be the last. I really hope I have found the diet that will get me to goal, and (the hardest part) to stay there!
In Feb 2007, I weighed over 20 stone and joined LL. I lost about 8 stone by November, then decided to take a break for Xmas!! What a wrong choice that was! I never went back and regained a fair old whack!! I then dabbled (again) with SW, but I had become complacent with that plan, and just didnt get going on it. Then I gave CD a go, having been pretty successful on a vlcd before. I loved CD, but the local counsellors (& I tried 2) were blummin awful. Whilst I cannot blame my failings on them, with nil support, that was almost an impossible task for me.
I ate & ate for a while then, and I truthfully dont know why, I thought, yes, Its going to be Weight Watchers. I read loads on here and on their site, found out my local group and .....joined yesterday!!
I was pretty shocked to see my weight is now 16st 3.5lb, but after getting over that horrible feeling of self loathing, I began to feel much more positive about the whole thing. TBH I am finding it a bit odd adjusting my head to the slow way of weight loss, after the extremes of the VLCD world, but I think slow & steady might just win this race for me this time!!
My leader even introduced the Xmas challenge this week to the group, (OMG!!! 12 weeks to go......) and said a stone loss would be fab in that time. Last time I did CD I lost 11lb in the first week, so you understand my odd mind-set.!
I have decided not to do Kick-Start, as I am lousy at following a plan that someone else has set me. I like to think on the hoof,as it were, and not to plan too far ahead. I am, however, counting points as I think the portion control will be a good thing for me to learn.
I hope someone will check my food so far for me, just to tell me if I am going the right way about this, please! (Not included dinner tonight yet, but will prob be an omlette & salad.)
40g Special K Sustain 2
1 WW yoghurt 1
2 satsumas 0.5
Apple 0.5
2 slices ww bread 1
60g cottage cheese 1
point free salad
Go Ahead bars 2
Kit Kat 2.5
0.75 pint semi skim 3
Plus coffee and water.
Thanks so much, and sorry if I bored you all!!!
Really pleased to be feeling positive once again tho!!
