If anyone was to look at my diary they would quickly realize that for somebody wanting to lose 20kg of body fat, they have eaten a huge number of calories today. 3025 !!!

now my limit is only 1600. I have only had 1 day of eating at 1600.

I have lite.kids to look after and at the end of the day I find myself comfort eating in front of the telly because that's the only me time I get.

how does one NOT eat. and how do you guys deal with guilt if you eat too much??

I take it day by day and meal by meal. If I get off track I just do better with the next meal and so on. I make myself meals that are usually pretty different than my kids. I want this weight gone so I'm willing to work hard at it. I do look forward to a day when I'm not obsessing over getting the weight off though. Hang in there. Add some friends on here for daily support and to view their food diaries and get some ideas.

I always remind myself of this quote (from Weight Watchers) when I start to miss the bad foods or overeating: "What you eat in private - you show in public."

That is a great quote. Will remember that one

I also fold laundry in front of the tv. I also have kids, so I bet you probably have a ton of laundry too. Leave it till evening and fold away--keeps your hands busy. If you have a table or bed to fold on, even better. Dance a bit, march in place and you get some movement in too!

What a great idea! I rarely watch TV, but I do plan to watch a lot of college basketball this weekend, and I'm going to do this! Thanks!

Oh, my kids are much older now but I used to do this too!! Great idea.

That's a fab idea but it doesn't replace the great feeling of tasty foods caressing my willing taste buds "/
