Success!!

Yesterday was a very strange day. I didn't manage to be nearly as good as i wanted to be. I did however manage to only have about 1,000 kcals, which is, according to diet guru's (in the days when you just watched what you ate) and backed up by my Mum, the way to lose weight effectively. It's also always been my diet of choice. Although i tend to take different angles on it depending on what's going on at the time. So technically i'm on the slim-fast diet, which is 

Breakfast - Slim-fast

11sies - 100kcal snack

Lunch - Slim-fast

3sies - 100kcal snack

Dinner - 600 kcal well balanced meal

Evening - 100 kcal snack.

So all in all, with a slim-fast having a calorie content of just over 200, it's sort of a 1300 kcal diet.

My slim-fast plan is to eat between 1,000 and 1,300 a day, staying closer to the 1,000 as much of the time as is humanly possible, and try to keep my fat intake as low as possible. I'm not actually going to count fat but just be aware of it and choose fat free where possible. Yesterday I was almost spot on the 1,000, but with a soup instead of a slim-fast.

It does however appear to be working as today i am a whopping 2lbs lighter!

So now the struggle will be avoiding eating on a day when all I have to do is sit and study. Fingers crossed hey??

A good step towards the new slimmer me. Only 5 1/2 stone to go until my "get to this weight and see how I feel and whether I want to lose anymore" point! Theoretically and assuming that the weight loss will slow down dramatically it's not impossible to do that in 5 to 6 months (figure I can probably shift a stone in the first fortnight). One of my best mates is getting married in 5 1/2 months time so I think that should be my goal. I've only got to watch what I eat this carefully until her wedding day and then I can have a bit of wedding cake! And a much smaller bridesmaids dress! LOL

In a hopeful mood I say TTFN!
