This is my brand spanking new food diary. I'm Tracey, I'm 23 and I live in Ireland.
I recently finished my Masters after an 5 year stint in University. I'm in the big bad world now in a job where I am learning lots but earning not so much. It is a positive experience though and will stand to me I love food. Everyone says it but i mean it from the depths of my soul. If i could talk to God I'd ask him to reconsider and make me a skinny person who can eat what they want
This leads me to my next point, I am overweight. I'd like to lose about 3.5 stone and be at a healthy weight of 10.5 stone. I am 5 foot 6.5. So far I have lost about 25 pounds through a combination of yo yo dieting over the years. LOTS of ups and downs but overall thankfully it has been progress overall.
I'm young but i've tried it all. 'healthy eating', weight watchers, starving myself, binge eating, stupid magazine diets, cabbage soup diet, and slimming world. What works for me? Slimming World does. It suits me perfectly because I love healthy food, but i have the leigh-way to make delicious healthy meals.
My boyfriend and i cook together a lot. It's a life change for both of us.
As easy as Slimming World is i find myself still yo yo'ing with it and i want that to end now.
I'm smack bang in the middle of a couple of weeks of weddings, holidays, birthdays etc and it is soooo difficult to stay on track. Seems to be a feast or a famine with me. But not for long, a serious revamp and life change is on the way.
Here goes welcome friends!
Oh and I have a tendancy to take pictures of food I make and eat, hope that's ok
