    BEFORE:

    Breakfast: normally nothing, sometimes buttery toast
    Lunch: Gregg's sandwich, sausage roll and slice of cake / pasta salad & crisps / large portion of left over dinner with bread
    Dinner: Same size portion as my 5ft 11, 12st, decorator OH of whatever I made (spag bol / chilli / roast dinner) plus we'd have garlic bread or something on side side. I would easily have 2 carbs with dinner!
    Snacks: crisps, wine, left over dinner, cake

    NOW:

    Breakfast: 2 small slices of wholemeal toast with peanut butter, small yoghurt, fruit
    Lunch: chicken salad / soup and wholemeal bun / small portion of left over dinner
    Dinner: cajun chicken breast, balsamic new potatoes & salad / mini meatballs, 60g wholemeal pasta, salad / turkey curry with broccoli, green beans, 200g new potatoes
    Dessert: low cal chocolate mousse (90cals) or Eton mess.
    Snacks through-out the day: humous and diced red pepper / yoghurt / pomegranate seeds

    I still allow myself pretty much everything in moderation so my biggest change has been portion control. I no longer eat the same size meals as my OH!

    1. Better portion sizes
    2. I had been drinking anywhere between 32-64 oz of sugared soda (much of it Mt. Dew) each day. No more sugar at all and only a very occasional diet soda.
    3. I've seriously cut back the amount of QDoba and Buffalo Wings that I eat.

    Err...Hot Wings! Chicken! Chickens have wings!

    *googles it*


    Ohhhh, i see! They aren't actually wings!


    Thank god...was going to say farming those buffaloes would be a nightmare. Either that or a very large barn...:laugh:

    We don't have buffaloes here in the UK...just a few butch bulls with delusions of grandeur....

    BEFORE: Sausage Biscuit, Bo Biscuit, hash browns, donuts, cinnamon rolls, scrambled eggs with cheese, leftovers. diet coke queen, sweet iced tea, french fries, barbecue, pizza, potatoes,Golden Corral Buffet galore, ice cream, red meat every other night, eating late, beer, wine, loaded baked potatoes, chinese buffets, going back for seconds cause it tastes so good - ahh you get the picture.

    AFTER: banana, granola, healthy cereal, 1% milk, non-fat yogurt, moderation, no alcohol, no fried foods, portion control, no sweets, lean meats, skinless chicken breasts, once again PORTION control, eating off a smaller plate really helps, eating no later than 6:30, using low fat dressings, milk, cheeses, salads, whole grain pastas, whole grain breads, keeping my food diary updated, trading off sweets for extra exercise, avoiding white flour, and I quit eating when I'm satisfied
