So, what has seen you through potential comfort eating phases?
I make sure I haven’t got the sugary treats (chocolate, cake, biscuits, pudding) in my house to eat. That went right off the wall with Christmas chocolate’s in the house. I have been emotionally eating the last month or so. I’m quite a private person, so I won’t say why, but I stopped going to my weight loss group because I knew I couldn’t keep up with my diet.
Did you come off plan when you reached a plateau for a couple of weeks and then start again or did you give up altogether?
I have lost three stone with a famous weight loss group. It took me a while to get the last few pounds off. I think I was trying to hard, and expecting miracles. I know what works for me; a fat free, limited unhealthy snacks, and vegetables. We all know what works, but then it is difficult to keep up.
What do you do if you’re not a fan of fruit and veg?
I have eaten more fruit and vegetables because of my diet. I have learnt to like mushrooms, peppers, but I don’t think I will ever get used to Brussel sprouts.
What are your go-to nibbles?
Biscuits, chocolate biscuits. It goes back to being a young girl, and having hot milk and ginger biscuits. Dunking a biscuit makes it taste better in my point of view.
List five ways you can serve chicken.
Hunters chicken (barbecue sauce, and bacon)
Diet Cola Chicken (Something from my slimming plan, there are ready meals, which Iceland sell. Really weird, but it tastes delicious).
Fried Chicken, chips, beans.
Chicken casserole (chicken, gravy, stock, carrots, mushrooms)
Roast Chicken, with all the trimmings (roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, vegetables, gravy)
I have been in SW for 3 years, I am not currently going, I took a break for a bit, but I know I cant do that for too long! My diet is important to me, weight has been a battle for most of my life. Xx

Was it the diet cola chicken that gave that away lol? I have taken a break because I know I’m not in the right mindset to stick to the diet. I am trying, but it is harder in the evenings.

Yes, definitely the diet cola chicken, I love it, I appreciate the way you feel though I don’t feel like I’m in the right mindset now either

Thanks for joining in Diana. I can relate with this too. I’ve put all the chocolates and sweet stuff away out of sight. Luckily I can leave it alone as long as the packet isn’t open! I lost almost 3 stone in 2016 but had to stop as I was having radiotherapy and my dots wouldn’t line up if I lost any more! I put on a stone over the next three years, but have since lost that and kept it off since Aug 2019. It’s harder work keeping it off though.

I’m glad I have a three pound cushion either side of my target as I seem to spend more time leaning on one of those!!

I have not only leant against my cushion but pushed right past. I am probably about a stone over my ideal, but I am trying not to put on any more.
