2 stone by christmas???

ok so here goes, i thought i'd write a diary. maybe it will help, i doubt it but here goes. ok so basicly i've never been a small girl (well except when i was really young like juniour school) but when i started secondary school my weight booomed!!! i snacked loads and at 11 i weighed about 9 stone. i'm now 17 and i weigh 11stone 12lb ok so i was 12st 4 but i managed to shift it down to 11st 7 but then i put some back on. i still can't stop snacking. even talking about snacking now is making me wanna snack some more. just grab a packet of crisps my mind is telling me. but i know i have to be strong.....which really i'm not. i'm addicted to crisps and bread they are the 2 things i would die for. i need to curb my cravings for sandwidges and cheese and onion crisps (drooling right now haha).

but anyway basicly, i have been trying to lose weight again i have been up the gym 3+ times a week for the past 4 weeks. but havn't lost any weight because i still keep snacking. it's crazy, ive even brought fruit and things to snack on, it's just so un appealing to me.....i just don't know what to do. so i'm gonna keep this diary and record my feelings over my dieting period. and hopefully it will help me and maybe i will even stop snacking =D

Hiya Brewanne, There with you on the snacking or in my case picking things. 2 stones by Xmas is achievable with the right kind of plan. Are you following a plan or calorie counting? I still pick but I try to get in low fat versions of the stuff I pick at instead and include it in my allowance for the day. I still have a wee packet of crisps but they're the lower fat variety and if I'm really after a choccy fix I get milkyways, chop them up and freeze them. They're not to heavy on the calories and freezing them makes them last longer. I still have a well balanced diet too. Mind you if I could get away with it my diet would consist of chocolate!!! Anyway I hope some of that might help. Good luck with it and I'm a firm believer that you dont have to go hungry to lose weight.

nooo i'm not on any diet plan. i'm counting calories i have a limit of 1400 a day and i have to do atleast 200kcals of excercise.....so yeah, but i know for a fact i went over that yesterday with the fizzy laces, chocolate cake and chocolate cookie...........so maybe i should try harder today!!!
