I think my photo food diary really helped me this week and I plan to carry on with it. I, like a lot of slimmers, struggle with the reality of what we eat and the amount our brain lets us remember that we've eaten!
Writing it down helped keep track of the syns but it didn't really help me recall what I'd actually eaten, especially as I write down the ingredients rather than the actual meal.
Anyway, back to group - I find myself enjoying it more and more each week as I get to know everyone and this week I had a bumper week, winning slimmer of the week,
slimmer of the month
and my 1 stone award :D
As slimmer of the week you get to bring home the contents of the fruit basket that everyone contributes to, which was wonderful because it's only mid week and our fruit basket is looking a bit empty!
I'm off now to take a photo of myself (I want to take one each time I lose a stone) and make some lunch. I'm ready for it today!
