Hi,
new to the forum.
I've been trying to lose weight for a long time, even though i'm 18. I tried dieting over the last couple of years but it never worked, the minute i eat normally again,i put it straight back on.
when i was 12/13 i moved to France, didn't eat breakfast (i know very bad) had hardly anything for lunch (max a bread roll & a bit of salad) & then ate whatever me & my mum wanted when we got home, & i mean whatever, such as pizza & chips etc. I lost 4 stone in the first 6 months & kept it off i think mostly because of the exercise i did when i got my horse, riding at least 5 times a week & also class sport lessons 3 times a week & on the days i wasnt at school i was on the yard all day. i'd never been as happy with my weight as i was when i came back from France.
Once i came back i put the weight back on plus more. & now just can't shift it. I am starting back at the gym now after having to do as little as possible exercise on one knee as of falling down stairs, & i cant wait to go back & get going again as i loved it!
the problem is food wise. i have just split up with my boyfriend of 2 years who's always done the cooking as i'm a TERRIBLE cook, seriously bad. i need ideas of healthy, quick meals as of working late/long hours & forever not having enough time.
On most days i have:
breakfast - 2 slices of buttered toast, sometimes cereal (only frosties) but mostly toast at about 7.30am
lunch - depending on time & how hungry i feel, either toast & jam, or some sort of sandwich, either tuna mayo, or ham or cheese. All at work on the go. Ranging from 11am - 3pm
Dinner - used to be attempting to have meat, potatoes + lots of veg, & worked quite well, though sometimes we did have other like sweet & sour chicken etc.
but i do end up snacking on the go, which is a big part of the problem (any comments or ideas very welcome!)
I'm a bit of a fussy eater, i tend to have a lot of bread, pasta or potato, i don't like seeds, oats etc. but need quick & easy as of lack of time & skill in the kitchen! also cheap but i think thats everyone!
any comments, ideas, even recommendations of diets even though i do tend to try to eat healthily so i can maintain it.
i really need help.
Thanks.
Also if anyone is in the same boat or was. Or would just like the help & motivation & someone to talk to, please be happy to message me.
