Day 1

Well after making the big decision last night to re-join Weight Watchers I have had a day feeling quite empowered by gnawing hunger pangs!! Why is it that every time I start a diet - the first day I feel like my throat has been cut. If I'd eaten the same amount yesterday I'd be quite satisfied I am sure.

The biggest shock was jumping on the scales. I refuse to disclose what I weigh - but will admit to needing to lose over 30kgs. The last 6kgs have just crept on. I blame my pathetic lack of self control for this state of affairs.

So I have had fun checking out the points for various favourite foods. Some gave me a heart attack. A glass of wine is 5 points - dang and blast - so there is something I have to limit. Pasta and rice - need to watch the amount I chow down on there too. But fruit and vegetables are nothing - even a banana is 0 points - brilliant.

So about to have tea - chicken thighs with vegetables and rice. Should have a few points left for a treat later if desperate. Breakfast was 3 weetbix with skim milk, lunch a ham and cheese toasted sandwich and a skim milk latte. Add a banana and I've only used 20 points.

PLUS I got off my lard-ar*e and walked up and down the street, in the humidity and heat, including slight hills for 20 mins - yay me!
