Do you find your food fills you up tho? I'd be famished eating that. Don't mean to be rude by the way, just how I see it! well done on the mile walk tho! I tend to run up and down the stairs on my patrols so that keeps me going all night

 

[Balboa]

Today I have been absolutely swamped with work so I haven't really thought about food that much. However, it's when i'm bored that I start feeling hungry - so I tell myself its not hunger at all its just the fact that i'm not busy. I've also been trying to eat slower and chew more etc. Before, i'd ram things so fast down my throat that I didn't have time to fill up before I'd scoffed the lot!

Just trying to find a happy medium at the moment between overindulgence and starvation haha!

 

[WelshJojo]

You'll find something that works for you

THURSDAY 21/01/11

Thought i'd just jot this down... Can't believe how great I feel today! Probably not lost any weight yet and have only been going a few days but I feel much brighter and optomistic. Not sure whether its the healthier eating, the multivitamins i'm taking or just better mental attitude.

It's particularly suprising I feel so good today considering I felt really quite sick late last night!

 

[WelshJojo]

Good stuff

Good luck with your weigh in
Also don't get angry about needing more food, if you're hungry, then you should eat something!

 

[Balboa]

Hey weigh-in went well thanks! Down to 28st 6lb (398 lb) which is a loss of 17lb! I know that this kind of weight loss can't be sustained but its nice to see some results early on! Also I have achieved two of my mini goals: to get under 29st and to get under 50.0 BMI!

 

[Katierose]

That is a fantastic weight loss Well done xx

 

[WelshJojo]

Well done, that's awesome

 

[sarah1984]

That's an amazing weight loss!! Keep it up...

 

[fay2601]

Wow your doing really well!

 

[azlan]

Hey Balboa - fantastic loss- you must be feeling great!!

Maybe you could factor in something to eat when you're working late (even if it's a yogurt and fruit) so you don't end up feeling guilty for eating when you get hungry.

 

[Balboa]

Thanks guys and gals. Feel pretty good. Just hope I can keep it up! Thinking of specifically counting calories from tomorrow onwards.
