The eve before I start!!!

So here I am sitting eating the last triangle of my Toblerone and the raiming crumbs of a LARGE packet of Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations and now I feel like poo, not pleased with myself one little bit.  So tomorrow is the start of a new way of eating for me, I am 13.7stone and desperate to lose weight I am creeping up to a size 18 and am afraid if I get there I won't be able to get back down.  Plus, lately I have been feeling really unhealthy and my breathing is pretty shallow. 

So anyway I have tried different diets before (lost 1stone with Weight Watchers and 1.7stone with Slimming World) and they have worked, but it seems that as soon as I stop going to the meeting I start to slip back into my old ways and out come the bags of crisps and chocolate bars etc. 

Ok, I've decided I am going to make meals that are fairly good, but I am not just going to eat salads.  I will allow myself to have a naughty day (Saturdays , but no crisps).  I will bake cakes that are low cal so that I am still able to have a sweet treat.  This will be a different way of eating rather than a diet, I want to be able to maintain this for life and a diet just wont cut it. 

I have the Zumba DVD which I will be sticking to and will let you know how I get on with that, I've had a pop at it already and it's pretty good funny (gets the stomach muscles going too, for laughing so much).

So I will let you know how I get on tomorrow, I'll also be posting recipes for the meals I make and I hope you'll try them out yourself.
