I'l be honest i have struggled. I have never properly taken my weight loss seriously and the lack control i have over what i can and can't eat is making me very stressed and unhappy, that coupled with only losing a pound this week is not helping. I like planning my meals and using butter, sugar and stock but when you are trying to stick to roughly 450 cals per meal your options are seriously limited. I found myself yelling at eggs this morning and realised i need to just get over it. I only need to do this for a few months, lose the weight and hopefully learn some control when it comes to portion sizes and ingredients. If i am honest breakfast and lunch are pretty easy it is just the meal in the evening that is causing me the most strife.
But there again if losing weight was easy we would all be thin right? Eventually the cravings for sugar, chocolate and pastry will subside and i will have made some real progress and feel a lot better about myself and the way i look. My friends have been really supportive, especially Ben who takes my tantrums and moaning in his stride. Thank god i live with someone who is able to take my moods in good faith!
So in short one pound down, 27 to go...
Damn it.

Smaller plates... I believe that may be the key to weight loss.... that way you get to eat all the things you like, don't have to give anything up, so you won't be miserable and your brain will think you have had as much as you would normally have eaten so you won't feel so hungry....
Also, eating slowly apparently makes a difference...
These are the only techniques that ever seem to have made sense to me
Good luck with it all honey, let me know if there is anything I can do

If you could wire my jaw shut that would be AWESOME.
I lost 18 pounds a few years ago, and I did this by a bit of exercise (which I LOATHE!), but my main tool was a small pocket book, in which I every wrote everything I ate or drank. For example:
Glasses of water: 1, 2, 1, 1, 1
Coffee: 1, 1, 1
Candy bar: 1
Chicken salad: 1
Nothing complicated, no calories to count, no food weighing - it just showed me what I ate every day. Once a week I measured my waist line and hip line, and wrote it down with my weight and BMI.
It really helped me in a very simple way to see what I was eating, without feeling the pressure that nothing unhealthy was allowed.
Good luck :-)
Thanks! With the Tesco diet thing you do it all online so you can note what you have eaten and it tells you how many calories etc are in there. Imagine my shock and dismay when i realised a biscuit has about 80kals in there!
Thanks for the supportive words though!
