I have found my enemy....

[forthe100thtime]

So after a month and no movement at all - whilst upping my exercise and improving my food quality and portion sizes I have been at a loss as to what I am doing wrong.

I posted on here last week how fed up I was, and I got some really supportive responses and suggestions (thank you)

So this week, without changing anything because quite frankly as far as I was concerned I was doing everything right - I really observed my self - and my God! I pick, snack and sneak food - I pretend I haven't, I don't count it, I at 4 half biscuits throughout a day, because of course a half biscuit doesn't have calories, but actually 2 whole biscuits had a count of 190 calories - that's my breakfast!!!

When I actually added up / guessed at how many extras I was actually eating it was clocking up to almost 600 calories a day!!!!

So, now I have identified my enemy, this weeks challenge is to destroy it!!

I don't know how?, I have been a veggie for 24 years- I just stopped eating meat and have never been tempted to go back, for 3 years I smoked almost 15-20 day and then 18 years ago I just stopped - and have never gone back - so I know I have the will power capacity - I just need to dig it up from the depths of my memory on what I did at the time to help me!!!

No weigh in or measure this week - it would be futile! but next week, I will be back!

Good luck all,

K.

Brilliant well done - I bet I am doing the same thing I will monitor that - too easy to sneak it in - good luck

Things really do add up. Glad to hear you'll be back, and wishing you a great weekend and a really good week ahead.

Well done!!!! I like your honesty! I log absolutely everything onto myfitnesspal - even though it can be embarrassing - no point in cheating yourself!

Good luck for the coming week!
