    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. :D 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 "/
