Hi...

So after browsing through the site...I have decided to start my diary as well...hopefully it will help (fingers crossed) as i have started the Process many times but I can never seem to continue..:(
Also I am lazy and I hate Exercise (Problem 1) .

I can easily continue eating healthy till evening but then the real struggle starts, I dont know why but I crave high calorie food and sweets after the evening and get very angry generally if i go hungry or donot eat what i want then (Problem 2)..

I am writing the Diary now although the day is not over bcoz otherwise i might mess it up in the evening and start the process altogether next Monday...(i hope it doesnt happen)..:p
So,
I currently weight 187 Lbs ,
Target Weight : 125 Lbs in 8 Months i.e (To lose 62 Lbs by December'16)
Also i am a Vegeterian and dont eat Eggs either.

DAY 1

It is just 3.30 pm but I am posting in the Diary anyways...
I have started the Day with a glass of water with half lemon,
For Breakfast I had 1 cup of Tea with 1tbsp Sugar & Milk, and 1 Wheat Flour Naan with Little butter.
at around 12.00 I had 75 gm of low calorie Biscuit,
For lunch i had 1/2 cup cooked Pulses and 1/2 cup yogurt.
Still no exercise done...hoping to start Today....

I hope to continue writing daily ;)
 
Welcome! Looks like you're off to a good start. I too need to start exercising. I used to be vegan. You can lose weight being vegetarian and not eating eggs, as long as you eat healthy food. Do you eat fish? Just curious.
 
Hi Ekta & welcome to the forum. I find I need to have protein with each of my meals to satisfy my hunger. Try to just add a little exercise each day until it becomes a habit. I have started doing 20 squats in the morning & now it feels weird if I haven't done them. Every little change you make for the better adds up. I find writing in my diary each day keeps me focussed. It's easy to slip back into old habits. Once again, a big welcome :)

Hi Butterfly88, i hope i lose weight this time...but there are so many delicious vegetarian recipes that it is really difficult to eat healthy & also my mom cooks amazing food and it is hard to resist..:).
No i dont eat eggs.. in simple terms , Vegeterian = Vegan + Dairy Products.

Sounds like you're doing pretty well. I think you'll find that as you eat less sugar, you won't want it as much.
 
Hi ekta. I'm glad you thought that doing squats was a good suggestion. I just find them easy to fit in my day. The less sugar you have, the less you will crave. Try replacing the sugar with some fruit. Cheers, Cate.

The best plan I've ever followed was Weight Watchers. It really changed the way I look at food and how important it is to vary it. Maybe you could have a look?

I know that seeing the numbers on the scale is disheartening and frustrating, but try to focus on the fact that you're getting healthier. Weight fluctuates loads and scales aren't always accurate, and sooner or later your body will figure it out. So just keep going, and maybe you need to tweak a few things diet wise?

Don't give up!
