This past week

.So what has been different this last week.

I looked at all the diets I have done.  The Cabbage Diet, Slimming World, Weight Watchers, Sweet Diet, Atkins, Slimfast, and the rest.

All the diets except perhaps Slimming World and Weight Watchers are really a waste of Time.  Fasting and deep cleansing is good, but it is not a lifestyle and it will pile on again if you go back to eating normally.

Weightwatchers has by far been the best as its sensible and for someone like me that does not want to count etc their filling and healthy plan suits me.

So....you might think wow she has lost all her weight but, I have not.   Like all the rest of you I am human, and, I have human failings.  The above of course are purely my opinion but I think over 40 years experience gives me the right to comment.

This week I am having a breakfast, something I do not normally have but this is the new regime.  I have been having porridge, Scotts Porridge Original cooked in salted water then splashed with fully skimmed milk.

Lunch is problematical, I do not tend to bother, but I am trying my best.  Dinner at night is normally the usual meat and veg.  I am trying to be more creative.  So I thought as part of my plan I would share some of my recipes and low calorie foods.  This in itself is a battle as I have a very slim husband who loves fry ups, steak pies and everything that is bleached, processed and not wholewheat.  I have also decided as of Monday I will record my daily food and any weight loss.

To date I have lost about 3 stone but, I have a long way to go.  I will trip up,  I will have bad days but I will plod on.  I have to eat more healthily, and having limited mobility I have to look at more ways of moving.  As 'Billy Connolly' stated in one of his shows, you need to move more and eat less.  I wholeheartedly agree, but sadly there are obstacles.
