Dieting

[tinyjo]

I'm going to start keeping a note of my dieting progress here. As I doubt many of you are interested in the figures so I'll be restricting the entries to a friends group. If you want to see them, comment here and I'll add you to the group. The idea is that I'll get all the benefits of going to weightwatchers (i.e. the scrutiny and record and stuff) but without paying!

Me too please: it will remind me how distended I am. I had been watching my weight but it wasn't until my dad dicked with the metric/imperial setting on my scales that I actully *understood* how heavy I was.

Dieting - Don't be scared!

Dear Tinyjo

I am sure that you'll manage well with this, you also seem to be quite motivated, which is a +.
This is really good. What kind of diet are you doing? Cutting on certain types of food or is it like "I don't want to eat anymore?"

You also won't be putting money into the pockets of Heinz, who own Weightwatchers, sinisterly enough.

It's refined carbohydrates one really needs to cut down on, incidentally - sugar, fructose, dextrose, that kind of stuff. Calories & fats are less important as I understand it (and in my experience - when I had to give up sugar my weight dropped by a stone and a half).

When I was in China I mainly lived on vegetable stir-frys and tofu. I was a lot thinner and healthier when I came back than when I went. I keep meaning to try it again.
