What keeps YOU on track?
I know that we all joined the site and felt that motivation to help ourselves in the beginning. As wonderful as it is it can't last 100% of the time, right? I am sitting here, eating my plain tuna salad (NOT MY FAVOURITE but the cals and fat are loooowww) and trying to not run for a chunky kit kat instead by picturing…

14 weeks
I have been with my fella for 9 years. When we met I was a size 12/14 and am now (shamefully) a 22. We have 2 children and a house and all that and throughout my weight gain he has never voiced a negative opinion of how I look. I don't profess to be able to read his mind but he cannot find me sexy, I certainly don't. This…

My Sunday Sundae
Ok. Today I wanted dessert. I really wanted it. So I made one!:happy: My first attempt at a healthyish take on a sundae :) It will get better but I had to work with what was in the kitchen.. Turned out to be 220cals and 7g of fat which in my opinion was totally worth it!

What are your opinions on something I read today in a magazi
Ok so it was just a small paragraph and it said "Counting bites is an easy way to ensure you are eating a proper portion size. The correct size meal should be no more than 25 bites and the correct sized snack should be no more than 12 bites" I have never heard of anyone counting bites to work out portions before, do any of…

NSV
Usually I come home and the first thing I do is to change out of my jeans into my comfy tracksuit bottoms. If I don't do this I feel uncomfortable, my jeans buttons dig in and I get a tummy ache later on (buy bigger jeans I hear you say.. err no! lol) - This practise has been going on now for a few years. Last night I got…

it was my 10 yr olds sports day today..
..About halfway through I was sat with my mum watching him waiting to race and he suddenly looked like he was fighting tears. I was concerned and asked him later in the car what was up. He was upset because a nasty kid in his class had been making fun of me. Saying that his mum was fat. I am so upset for him and ashamed of…

Walking around the supermarket today I told my family that tonight I wanted fish and though I usually just cook the same for everyone, since it was a saturday they could have pizza instead if they wanted.
