part of me thinks it's not rocket science, eat less and move more, with me it's just weakness and being fed stodge at work so any calories burned through my job get cancelled out.
i need a kick up the arse.

I'm kinda glad someone feels the same way as me about food and dieting. It may sound silly but I definitly do have an addiction and it really saddens me to have to actually come out and say it. It's embarassing.

I am going to join this thread but with a difference.
For me the key is exercise as I do have little control over the food I eat. Most of you know my meals are done by carers, so it needs to be quick as its 30min calls. I use a company called Wiltshire farm foods though and salady stuff when it is hot. Breakfast is some sort of cereal Alpen and Honey Nut Shredded wheat are currently on the go.
I swim every day or every other day when I am off uni and usually between 16 and 20 lengths. I will report daily on my pool activities. Please boot me up the bum when I am slacking.
how are you hun feel like i haven't spoken to you in ages

Yay a support group... ty ty ... I am again on need to lose weight.. serial yo yoer here... I have joined Slimming World, not that I follow the diet I just need the discipline of getting on those scales once a week...
Its my fourth week and I'm 8.5lb lighter... I want to lose 2 stone before holiday in August..
I agree with all said on here... I am trying to drink more water but often find a glass of wine is in my hand instead !!!...
Breakfast I am eating either melon or pineapple, or I will have bacon, mushrooms, tomato and scrambled eggs.. I alway buy 'fry light' so I use no oil at all... and I have also started putting my food on a smaller plate... I am like many.. I eat so fast I wonder if I have dropped my food, cos its gone !!!
So my tip is more water.. smaller plates, and eat SLOWER .. even putting your fork down while you are chewing...
Breakfast does NOT need to be a large amount of food. Ideally it should be eaten WITHIN 2 hours of getting up. This is because after approx. 2 hours your body will start preparing to enter famine/starvation mode. It will prepare to start breaking down your muscle for it's fuel and will be more likely to imediately store some of your next intake of food as fat.quote:Originally posted by fairy_suzie:
What happens if you feel literally sick at the thought of facing breakfast
That's why I thought I would go for something small like a banana
However be careful not to overdo it. You've heard the expression 'Too much of a good thing....'? Well apparently you can actually drink too much water. I'm not really sure how much too much is, but I think we're talking like 8+ litres a day.quote:So my tip is more water..

Oh I have a wee tip!
I bought a 1.5 litre of water this morning and it is sitting in my fridge door, so every time I do the "I'll just go see what is in the fridge" thing, I am slugging the water back instead.
Okay, so it's probably working today since it's about 25 C but I do like water, so it might stop me picking.
When it comes down to it TV if it's something that helps you break the unhealthy addiction then it doesn't really matter how crazy it seems. Maybe starting to do it on a hot day like today is quite a good thing as it's making that first step a wee bit easier to do.quote:Originally posted by Tartanveggie:

I know where you are coming from on the work front though. My canteen is brilliant and going for the healthy eating thingy but there is also stodge on the menu. I now make my lunch for the next day while i am waiting for my tea to cook and invested in a lunch box sized coolie bag. I also bought these wonderful little tubs from bettware that have a little bowl thing in the middle with a lid for salad dressing or sauce or dip.

trouble with that is i work on a farm and bosses mum does the dinners, she'd be mortally offended if i turned up with a plastic tub of salad
point taken
I'm away for a BBQ now... wasn't going to was going to cook me own thing but we have people staying for the weekend and it is a lovely day so i am going to try and be careful (no tattie salad)quote:Originally posted by Dobby the House Elf:

Still want to head for another 2 stone on top of that then I can get back into my wedding dress. I looked good at that point of my life that's why making that dress as my goal made sense Oh for those who don't know the last time I had breakfast was when I was 17
