Really going to do it this time!

I have previously attempted to lose weight, and to be quite honest it went really well. I lost 2 stone in a matter of 14 weeks and I was quite happy with that progress. Then I started college and all the bad food the cafeteria there served ruined my diet. Well kind of anyway, I know I have nobody but myself to blame but it feels good sometimes to pin the blame on someone/something else.

Regardless! This time I am going to do it! I have 20kg to lose if I want to be 'okay' with my weight, and 30 if I really want to be thin again. Thats some daunting numbers right there, but hopefully with the right mind set I will get by.

So basically MFP is configured to 1200 calories a day with a weight loss of 0.6kg a week. Food wise I'm quite happy with that amount, I haven't been feeling any urges to go above my daily allotment (but I guess that will come eventually...).

I've been buying Sainsburys Be good to yourself range and just eating 2-3 of them per day. Most people would be horrified that I've practically cut out all unhealthy foods, however I am one of those individuals who don't like cakes, ice cream and in general sweet things. I'm more of a salt person (chips, mmmm) but I've told myself no.

I guess the main problem for me is my partner... He is severely overweight (we are talking 120kg when he should be 80kg) and just doesn't seem to care. He consumes 1-2 bags of chocolate a day and its really bringing me down mentally because I feel like 'what's the point?' why am I making this effort if he cant even be bothered to stop eating chocolate! Then theres the part where he sabotages me (or well thats how I feel..) by constantly dragging me out for meals (and it is so much harder to eat healthy while eating out) and bringing home cakes, sweets, crisps and god knows what.

However hopefully this time I will prevail! I'm almost done with College (just a few exams left now) and I will be heading off to Uni in September (they have microwaves)! Hopefully my stubbornness will win out on this one and the weight will come off. As it is I don't look terrible, just a bit chubby. However I want to be thin again so I can fit into all my nice clothes that have been hanging discarded in the closet for too long.
