But if I was to give you any advice (which of course I wouldn’t !!) it would be think small, small steps, and not all or nothing. Plan on losing one pound a week, so think long term!
But I know you can do it, and if you want any support, you know where I am :-)

In fact reading your entry has spurred me on to do the same. Go CaffCaff Go!

I got a calorie booklet from WHS and I just looked at the curries and immediately didn’t want one… Psychologicaly it did me very good to know that some calories are instantly 600 calories.

I have highlighted the good stuff and bought corn crackers from the Health Shop and I feel a lot happier knowing that some goods are massively worse than others and feeling good about the stuff I can enjoy.

Fish is really good, seafood, anything by weightwatchers. Just find something you enjoy and yes, you can pig out occasionally. If you suffer, it just makes the diet worse. Make it a weigh (sorry!) of life. Milk is pretty bad and sugar (and I am just starting to use Candorel) I think you will start feeling proud of each achievement eventually.
