I am going to admit what I ate tomorrow LOL I was doing really well today until DD came home from QLD and bought me some butterscotch popcorn!!! (I only ate about 1 cup but its very naughty )
Have been trying to drink a glass of water every time I feel like a snack which seems to be helping.
today was:
375ml of water some time between 4am and 6am
Breakfast
bowl of cereal - organic muesli mix that we've made up from the organic shop
with about 200ml of organic milk
1 banana
cup of organic freshly brewed coffee with splash of milk
Mid-morning
cup of coffee
600ml water

bowl of rice pasta, with a sauce made of 2 tomatoes (chopped), garlic, chilli, oregano, basil, with squash, tossed and lightly sprinkled with some goats milk cheese
Now I'm about to go and make a mug of peppermint tea (I only finished eating about 30 mins ago). While my tea is brewing I've just eaten a handful of cherries from the fridge.
Will drink another 600ml of water before bed, put a new bottle of water next to the bed.
Good work girls - even those who ate things they regret - writing it down and owning your food choices is the first step ;)
Gosh Kazbah...
I nearly died when I read your first menu. I thought "how is she ever going to lose weight if she eats like that?"...
But then I read your second menu - and it was a HUGE improvement. Good on you.
After working at WW for years.. there is one thing I have really noticed...
People who don't eat enough food - don't lose weight.
Members would start off eating all their points value and losing weight. Then there comes a time when the weight loss slows down... so people think "I'll stop eating so much food". But that would have the opposite effect. Sometimes they would gain weight instead!
Your body needs a certain amount of food. Ideally nutrient food. It needs it for energy and metabolism.
So losing weight shouldn't be about depriving yourself of food. It should be about increasing your nutritious food and cutting down/out the junk food.
It's about increasing your metabolism... which means giving your body the energy it needs - and increasing your exercise/activity.
Nat... have to review your eating habits!
