Hello Everyone!!
I am currently doing SW and joined a class last week (Thurs 4th Jan 2013). I have approx 2 stones to loose (which brings me to my normal weight!!). Not quite sure how I managed to put on but hey, at this stage i'm more worried about getting it off again!!
I want to start a food diary as I feel completely dissatisfied with absolutely EVERYTHING that I am eating at the moment on the SW diet (and its only been 5 and a bit days :sigh. I think that the main reason for this is that I am too concerned with following the diet as per the recipes etc in the SW books/online and eating free foods all the time just because they are free.
I think that I need to start to eat foods that I actually like and enjoy, that satisfy me and don't make me want to reach for something bad! I literally want to eat SW friendly meals, but also eat nice food (not just dry rice and things that resemble cardboard!!)
I feel that I need to mix-up my meals nd be creative, while also establishing which meals satisfy me and that I enjoy, and those which I don't like and make me feel rotten afterwards!!
This is where my food diary comes in, I want to score my meals so that I can look back and see things that I like and make them more often, while staying away from the things that I don't enjoy (as I often forget and end up making these things again and realise at the end that it was ming!!).
Sooooo... wish me luck!! I do hope that a few of you help me along the way and let me know of any hints, tips, ways to make my meals nicer etc. I will do the same too so hopefully we will all be skinnie Minnies together!!
