Thought I would start a diary today so I can get some of my feelings out in the open, plus tonight is my WI night and what better time to start hey.
This is a lifestyle change for life.

Every time it comes round to Wednesday I worry so much that I have not gained anything and STS or worse gained, even if I have done good during the week..
I did WW before and was content to have 2 bowls of cereal a day ( a massive cereal lover here), and a decent meal in the evening and I kept loosing 2-3lbs a week without fail, the only time I ever worried was when I had a cheeky macaroni cheese that week, or something similar. By the end though, I think I got bored of eating the same old stuff all the time, (I mean we rotated 5 different dinner choice, with pasta, meat and sauce being eaten a lot)
This time round, I want to make life more interesting, and make more of an effort to point everything and to find out what 0 pointed items are out there, so much so that I seem to be eating loads of things during the day (more different things then I used to when not on WW) that its hard to believe that I could ever possibly lose weight.
Before I used to eat a bowl of cereal, something for lunch and pig out on one specific choc bar (not necessarily just as a snack) and then a massive portion in the evening. (Can see portion size was my main problem, that and cheese/ kitkats lol)
Now I'm eating, cereal with milk, packet of Tesco light crisps, double small portion of 0 point jelly, an apple, a WW choc bar 1.5-2points each (maybe two of them) lunch, which could be tuna sandwich with sharing tuna with cats and extra light mayo and a meal (smaller portion size then before).
Thats what is eaten through out the course of a day, and I still struggle to see how eating that much stuff during the day is still ok, but I'm understanding this time round that it's not so much a diet but a lifestyle change, which is what is really needed in this house at the mo.
Last night I had two wraps with pork mince and 0point passata based sauce with veg in (with a little oil to cook), and brown rice (note to self never buy brown rice again lol) and I was actually full afterwords, even with only having 60g of rice. Before all this I could easily have 3-4 wraps and well over 150g of rice, and wonder if that was enough. So I'm really proud of myself for how far I have come, and am really hoping tonights WI will really reflect how much effort I'm putting into this.
