It didn't get any better. You would think after I realised that I had overeaten on my first day that I would make an extra special effort to get back on track and bust a gut (no pun intended). But unfortunately I can now qualify for the least successful diet ever. In my first week I lost 0 lbs.
I had a quick chat with a friend of mine who tried to point me in the right directions and to figure out what I'm doing wrong but I still can't shake the thought that half my problem is that I cannot visualise myself as thin (or less-fat - I hate the term thin).
This week, however, I've started as I mean to go on. For the one and a bit days that I've done of this weeks diet (my diet week runs Tuesday to Monday) have been spot on and I can maybe see a chink of light through the clouds ahead. I just need to keep this up for a week and I'll see where it takes me. I'm also playing football tonight as well so I imagine I'm going to be in considerable pain tonight! Nothing that a scalding hot bath won't cure!
I'm going to try and update this blog a bit more frequently from now on :) now that I don't have about 40 hrs of recorded television to watch!
Thank you

Its so hard, I have slowly got larger over the last 6-8 years and have tried to change my diet, but it is hard when there are nice things to eat.
I have done regular exercise (Badminton) and that has helped keep things steady, but if I took a few weeks off for Christmas, or holiday it can quickly pile on.
I have now cut out all junk food, and have started planning the menu for the week, and done the shopping around that. I cook a couple of meals on a weekend and freeze (Fish Pie etc) and have created a number of 15-20 minute meals. I found before that otherwise when I got home from work I just put something into the oven for 30 minutes.
The key is finding things you like to eat that are good for you, if not diets are impossible. At the end of the day those of us that enjoy food will never be able to stick to a cabbage style diet.
I am sure if you can find some dishes that you both like, you will find it easier.
I have my fingers crossed for you.
