Diary of an x fat cow part 2 - Diary of a chubby chicken!!!!!

[oesdog]

Yes your right of course.
I sooo need that but it is getting difficult as DH loves to bake bread and cake this time of year and I am trying hard to avoid that. It is very hard because so many things are so nice. But I know what your saying is right and I don;t want to "put on this weight again!" My DD told my sister - in - law not to worry about me "faiding away" because I would just put the weight all back on again anyhow! - So I am not going to do that I can't do that. This morning I started well I thought in that I didn;t reach for a coffee I drank T instead and hardly noticed the difference. I am also having yogurt for breakfast with dates. I will try to "snack" on a banana instead of cake later and T will have to be something none fatty. I am not even going to post the weight today it is not worth upsetting myself over. Maybe in a day or two I will fill the missing one in but not today. I am ashamed of myself - I need to be careful this chubby chicken becomes a thin chick and doesn't regress into a FAT COW lol - I think starting this diary now is what will be the turning point - it is going to be put the weight right back on or get a grip and do something about it. Posting this I am hoping that I will step up to the plate - (Um I mean a low cal low carb high fibre filled one of course

)

I was reading back over this and nothing I planned to do happend. No yogurt, No banana snack and I did post the weight! - I have however tried very hard to ditch so much of the coffee.

Oes

Day 5
November 5th

Ok here goes I will post this - the shame of it??
10 stone 3 lbs??????? HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?????


Breakfast
Tea White no sugar!
( No I didn;t get the yogurt! )
Exercise?
x Tranor 10 mins.
Glass of water

Mid morning snack
1) White coffee No sugar
Ginger biscuit

Lunchtime
Glass of water
Toast with cheese and corn beef on top.

Mid afternoon snack
none

Dinner
Cup of Tea
Chicken and broccoli pie
Marshmallow biscuit ( Bad I know but the pack said only 45 cals?)
glass of water.

Exercise?


Supper
2) Coffee white no sugar.

How I feel
Glad to have gotten the coffee intake down a bit - carb intake is still to much too high and I am eating far to many wrong choices. There are things here that have to be eaten so I am going to have to eat some bad things anyhow just till they are not about and then choose not to buy more I guess!
I am really upset about the weight gain? I am not sure how that happened except that I was eating too many carbs recently. I was really down then thought - kick up the rear and get going again. At least weighing myself means I cannot get into too much weight gain bother because I can pull it back.

Bit low though as now I feel I gained a lb in my first week not lost - even one?

Oesdog, do you have a smartphone? On my Iphone I have the Livestrong app and it lets me keep track of my calories, excersize without having to think. I just put in my age, weight, etc and my weight loss goals, and then it gave me a calorie goal. Then I put in what I eat, you can search for anything on the planet and it gives you calorie and serving sizes to choose - even restauraunt meals... It's really great, maybe you can find an app like that for your phone!

Ha ha - I am seriously an old person my phone is a brick and the buttons are extra large. It is however modern as it has apparently got a camera - but I never use that button!!!!

Oes - I have a really good book though with writting in it and pages and it tells me much about calories! I can also throw it when I get mad and it doesn;t break!
