Diary of a disheartened slimmer

You think you are getting somewhere and then it just seems to stop! I’ve been trying to keep to a better way of eating since the beginning of the year and after the first initial 7lb loss I am stuck, and stuck at the weight I always get stuck at. I just can’t seem to break past this figure.

I have cut out:

  • Bread
  • Cheese (I want to cry if I walk past the cheese section in a supermarket because it makes my mouth water!)
  • Crisps (Which were a treat for me anyway)
  • Sweets
  • Coca Cola (This hurts almost as much as giving up cheese)

On a daily basis I eat: 

Breakfast – Muller Light yoghurt

Lunch – Salad with tomatoes, and some sort of fish – prawns, smoked salmon with a teaspoon of salad cream (light) because who really likes salad on its own?!?

Dinner – Something healthy. I’ve swapped my mince for lean mince and my chicken for turkey, I’m trying to fill my plate with veg and I’m trying to have smaller portions as well but I guess they just aren’t small enough.

I don’t know what else I can cut out and the less weight I lose the more disheartened I become meaning the more likely I am just to give up and have that whole piece of brie I see every time I go to the supermarket!

I am going to the gym 4/5 times a week and doing a mixture of cardio and toning classes, my whole body is aching but definitely not slimmer.

I still have 28lbs to go – I just have no idea how I’m going to get there! Just need to keep going and realise that it wont happen overnight. I do hope it happens eventually though!
