Battle of the Bulge - update

Things are going well.. I’m back on track a little…. definitely eating better and generally  making better choices over the last year and more importantly over the last 2 weeks.

A good tip for anyone doing weight watchers.. I’ve been very happy on the core plan for a while and have lost over 2 stone…. but things had gone stagnant and  my eating habits… although on the whole good were just not as good as they could be.

I think the thing for me is defo portion control. I don’t eat badly really - I know I don’t. My problem is I eat too much.

I don’t eat potato - I eat 2 portions of potatoes. And while this works for a while because you’re following the points system on the core plan, I think eventually if you’re eating too much (whether you’re following the plan or not) basically … you’re just eating too much.

So - I swapped to the points plan. I’m enjoying it. It’s renewed my enthusiasm and I’ve lost about 5lbs in 10 days. So I feel back in the swing of it.

The only snag is that my wedding dress shop warned me not to lose too much weight as I’ve ordered the right size for me now and that dropping shed loads would

a) cause me to spend loads in alteration costs and

b) change the shape of the dress around my top half if too much had to be altered…

I can’t drop far below the size 14 version without risking making my dress look ‘altered’

So as far as I can see it - that’s a damn fine reason to drink this beer next to me here
