Witchy's weightloss/food diary

[Witchypoo]

This weekend is going to be very tough, we've a friend from New Zealand arriving today, and are hosting a party in his honour tomorrow. Tonight is sorted food wise, we're taking him for a curry. But it's healthy curry, it's vegan! It's kinda a curry buffet, you get to choose 3 different curries, and get 3 different rices, dahl and a chapatti. And they do smaller plates for kids, so that's what I'll have.
Tomorrow I'm cooking, so that should be okay, but I'll be surrounded by beer, not so good. I just hope I'll be able to resist, cause I know from past experience all it takes is 1 beer and all self control goes flying out of the window.
Wish me luck!

So today's menu is:

Breakfast: Porridge & Fruit

Lunch: Muller Rice

Tea: Curry, rice and chapatti

Snack: Rice Cakes

Total: 1170 (aprox)

Enjoy your curry, sounds yummy x

Today I'm cooking Veg Stew with Dumplings, nice & filling to soak up all the booze.

So today's menu is:

Breakfast: Porridge & fruit

Lunch: Muller Rice

Tea: Veg Stew (I'll be giving the dumplings a miss)

Snack: Rice Cakes

Total: 860*

*It gives me some wriggle room just in case I give in & have a drink.

Well Saturday went okay, I managed to stay away from the beer so apart from half a samosa I was quite proud of myself.
Sunday was another story. It started off okay, my usual porridge for brekkie and I had a Greek salad in the pub for lunch, and I left most if the feta!
Then once everyone had left & I started tidying up I found the half bag of crisps and the opened packets of cookies.
So yesterday was a right-off.

Back to it today tho.

Breakfast: Porridge & Fruit

Lunch: Meal replacement shake

Tea: Lentil Dahl with brown rice

Snack: Rice Cakes

Total: 1090

I'm back! We got home v late last night after a epic drive. We had a great time meeting up with friends we only get to see once a year at the show. And I managed to limit my drinking to 1 G & T a night. Eating healthy in Germany when you're a veggie is not easy, so I've eaten rather too much cheese. But somehow I've managed to loose 4lb! It must have been the 9 hour days on the stand.

Anyway todays menu is:

Breakfast: 2oz gouda cheese (it has to be eaten)

Lunch: Meal repacement shake

Tea:

Snack: Rice cakes

Todays Menu:

Breakfast: Porridge with fruit

Lunch: Meal replacement shake

Tea: Carrot & Lentil Soup

Snack: Rice cakes

Total: 900

Keep it up Witchypoo your doing great!

Just had a look at the Food Focus website and have signed up, seems a great way of keep track of your cals!

Looking forward to seeing your progress over the following weeks

Well I've put all the weight back on.:cry:

I suffer from seasonal depression, but this year it's hit me harder than ever before. In the past I've controlled it with exercise & St Johns Wort. But the St J W did nothing for me last year and the exercise is out cause my ankle is still bad. I'm waiting for physio on that.
So I've finally admitted I need help & I've been to the Dr's this morning. She confirmed I suffer from SAD & has prescribed some antidepressants. Apparently they take 2 weeks to get into my system, but I should notice a difference after that.
Till then I'm going to try, yet again, to take control of my life and get to grips with my compulsive eating.
Wish me luck.
