Brand sparkly (pink) new diet thread for GIRL sways!

[Dreamsister]

Thanks a lot for advices, lovely ladies. @chocolate do you suggest me to add corn on top of food? Canned yellow corn? Problem with wine is that I really don't like to drink every single day, but maybe only 3 evenings a week. So the other days I add up kcals with some sweets, rice-milk, sugar soda and fruits. I also put sugar in coffee - something I did not like before swaying. I also eat tons of rice and quinoa. I am not used to all that sugar and empty carbs. Hope I am not going to stay on this diet too long as I miss my old HE-healthy diet. The good thing about this diet is that I have discovered new and delicious foods and vegetables.

I don't think you need to be adding so much sugar in. I know artificial sweetners are pinker, and you doing something you don't enjoy isn't great either!

But I need those damm kcals to stop weight-loss. I really don't like that many sweets either. It's a challenge

Yes I think corn on the cob or tinned corn is fine, wont add many calories but it's a start.
I'm addicted to having chips (fries) daily, still loosing weight and in daily goals but I feel like they are boy foods, need the Easter holidays with pub lunches to be done as I have no willpower when on days out!

No I know how you feel. I actually think it is also a challenge when having friends over for dinner or going out friends or my kids are asking why I don't eat normal things like butter or don't eat breakfast they start asking

It's Def. Harder with other people around although most women I know are odd eaters at some point so they don't ask too many questions.
After some advice, do you think it would help my sway to actually eat fruit and veg? Do you think by just eating wholegrain bagels with low fat cheese or toast for all my meals will hinder it.... Alot of articles seem to say about fruit or veg. But not sure if that's because of lack of meat or because of the fruit and veg. Signals? Have been staying away from them as it's harder to incorporate and I see them as extra nutrition

Have you seen the sample five day menu chocolate? It's a good place to start your meal planning. It has a wide range of foods that you may enjoy but if that doesn't suit then Its important to have a diet you can stick to without making yourself miserable for 12+ weeks. Discovering new meals and veg is good. I have found that vegetables taste a bit nicer lately too funnily enough! Though I should be eating more of them! Xx

Just did some reading on the forums about diet etc. Thank you.
That's it, I end up feeling miserable eating veg. Pasta and rice etc. Which is why I tend to be eating bagels or toast or when I'm naughty just chips (fries) with lots of diet coke, a yoghurt a day, 1 coffee a day first thing and then a large glass or 2 of wine a night.
I had planned on doing broccoli with philli and Parmasan for lunch with half a bagel but I did my exercise and had a bath and then felt agitated and shakey so had to grab something quick to eat for lunch which was a cheese bagel. Might have to try again on the broccoli at tea time ;-)

Glad you're finding it helpful. Once you've got it all figured out you can teach me haha xx

Some fruit and veg are free on cals chocolate and can be eaten with all your meals.

Had a rice cake with low fat cheese spread and a coffee with milk. For dinner I'm having veg left from yesterday's dinner with gravy and probably a couple of plain gluten free biscuits for afters.
