time to lose weight - 07:40 PM
(filed under 'healthy living')
after my entry a month or so ago about getting fat, i haven't made any changes to my diet. i've seen billboard after billboard around for the betty baxter weight loss systm. when i walked with smiley up to the post office this morning, i saw they had a little booth set up in the chemist, so i went in to take a look.
it's mostly based around meal replacement drinks, but it's also got a handbook for what to eat for other meals & snacks.
i've decided that i really need something like this at this point in my life. i need a day by day guide to help me get back to some healthier habits. once i've established a better eating pattern, it'll be easier to continue eating well.
the meal replacement drinks are actually filling, which is amazing. they taste quite nice, too. well, i know the chocolate one does, anyway, since it's the only one i've tried so far.
i've been good with making sure smiley eats well, with lots of fruit available (& he likes fruit) but when it's come to making my own meals, i've been slack & just 'making do'. time to get tough.
after three quarters of a day on the eating plan, i've not been hungry, so it's all good so far. 
I've done meal replacements twice, each time with measured success. The hardest thing is the hunger! plus a few other interesting things can happen to your body which are better discussed offline!
I've been off my diet since June, and I regained all the weight I had lost. Damned Army food spoiling a trim waistline.
