Hmmmm
Im still waiting for lunch. I got the short straw and ive been working since 6am. There is definatly no peace for the wicked. I must remember to stop that!
I'm having a bit of difficulty with this 'healthy eating' thing.
I know I should be eating vegetables, lean meat, rice pasta, fruit and such like but I'm a bit confused about what proportion of what I should be having, ie how much protein, carbs etc. I have seen some ratios set out in various places but they all seem to be different!
I am trying to cut down on portions also, but I just end up feeling hungry and then keep having cravings for chocolate, sweeties, crisps etc, which is probably what made me tubby in the first place.
I have tried Slimming World and Weight Watchers in the past and lost weight but it all came back on after a bit. I have thought about going back but not sure if it is worthwhile.
I take packed lunches to work, we don't have a fridge so it has to be something that won't go off during the morning - I'm getting a bit bored of rice salad or pasta salad, anyone got any good ideas for something to make a change?
I don't mean to sound weak-willed, I am making a real effort to eat the right things but am feeling a bit disheartened at the moment, any thoughts or tips would be really gratefully received.
Sorry this is a bit incoherent, am writing in a hurry before boss gets back.
Cheers

Good luck tubs.
Been picking at grapes all morning then ruined all good efforts being tempted by a sausage roll from the pie shop. Ooops, pastry is one of my biggest weaknesses.
I was going to go to the gym for my lunchtime weights but decided not to, it would've been 4 days in a row which I know isn't exactly overdoing it but my thigh's been a bit twingey since doing daft things at a rugby club do last week.
Did 2.5k on the treadmill last night then sat at the bus stop whilst amazed onlookers stared at my bright red face...
Michelle and V-rap - get kitties! Mum won't let us to get another one since ours had to be put down a few years back.
Gnasher and Mrs Mercury - wow, I am very impressed (if sneakily jealous!), well done the both of you.
Is it worth joining a gym to use the treadmill? I fancy the idea, but wonder if I'd really bother, or if it would be money down the proverbial.
I love my yoga class though. Anyone else do yoga?
As for diet, the thing I find hardest is to stay away from dairy, particularly as a veggie.
I can't do pussycats anymore as I developed late onset asthma (makes the running interesting sometimes!). However, I have a fifteen month old standard poodle (no laughter - he's very obedient, and a good guard dog, and has a black and decker haircut - no silly nonsense. And......... in four weeks time I'm getting him a baby sister! I'm so excited. But it's going to interrupt my morning runs, all that mopping up of wee, etc.....
Dinner time, I think. Pasta here I come.
How many times do we all ignore the signals(me tonite with pasta meal, but did not want pudding)
Am 3 stone overweight, but have been so for nearly 10 years, the stability makes me wonder if its meant to be(any excuse!!)
Vrap, you sound like youre getting too thin, tho i know what you mean about being surprised about looking in the mirror
My Mr is 6 ft 5 and I never feel small unless I see us in a mirror(Im 5 ft 2 and a half!)
Well done to all for exercise- I just managed 10 minutes of chest compressions on my course
