Group Week 2

It's my second "group" tonight and I'm a little nervous. And excited, I suppose. I want to see if I've actually lost anything, because I can't see any difference and I can't believe that I can have lost anything while eating that much food! I've had heaps during the last week, not felt hungry at all and yet apparently most of the foods I've been having have been "free". Well, I hope I've lost something because, if I haven't, I won't be going back! Well, I probably will because I need to lose this weight, but I'll be cutting down to tiny portions so that I'm guaranteed to lose weight. I mean, right now I'm sitting having a Muller Light Greek Style Luscious Lemon yoghurt, which is only 1/2 a syn. It tastes so creamy and tasty that it should be illegal, and yet I could have 30 in a day and still lose weight. Well probably not, but you get the idea.

Anyways, after joining the club, the inside of our fridge is totally different. There's veg, meat and some salad items. I have tons and tons of pasta and rice and tatties in the house too because we can eat loads of them all too. And I have fry light which, believe it or not, is a godsend! That stuff is brilliant. I always thought it would taint the food, but you don't taste it and it really stops everything sticking. If anyone wants to cut out the oil and fat in your diet, GET THAT STUFF!

I can't say I've done any more exercise than I ever used to, but I have a Zumba and Your Shape Fitness Evolved games for the Xbox that I'm going to start doing (if I have the energy!) so that should certainly help, and will help me keep track of the exercise I do without having to do any extra stuff outside. The dog is enough in this darned weather! She may love snow and ice, but I certainly don't!

I'm just trying to waste time now before I go to group. If I get too bored, I'll either end up eating something I shouldn't (not that there's much in the house to choose from) or I'll leave so early that I'll be the first person at the group. If I leave in 10 minutes time, that should get me there with plenty time to spare and will maybe avoid me sitting there like a loner - I might even make a friend! Well, maybe that's pushing it, but you never know!

Would it maybe be a good idea to start putting up some food diaries? What do you think? Let people see what I'm eating and maybe encourage others to follow suit?

SPEAK TO ME!
