Fighting the Dark Cloud of pudge!!

OK, I started a new diet.  Although I said I would never do it again….well, it is more being educated in an eating style than a diet.  One of the UK bloggers mentioned slimming world in her posting.  I checked it out and joined online.  I thought perhaps if I did something different it would help. 

The diet seems to be like WW but with more flexibility and more “free” foods.  I survived day 1 yesterday which is more than I have done on anything else recently.  “Chocolate is that you calling me???????????”  I am allowed chocolate, but as we all know that is treading in dangerous waters.  OK, I did have some yesterday and I seem to have lost a pound.  Why “seems”?  Well I overindulged the day before I started so went up to 203 from 201! (yikes!)  So, as we all know rapid weight gain like that is not permanent unless you eat like that for a few days (sealing the new found pounds to your body!).  So, I MAY have lost one pound- or in the worst case scenerio I may have gained/kept one of those new pounds!  (Yikes again!).  So time will tell.

Other than that, I have decided to think seriously about this wheat allergy I have as I now have rough skin on my hands from it.  (I get a rash from overindulging in wheat- another dangerous water as I can have some but not a lot- and life does not really define a lot!)

Anyway, you can check out slimming world at http://www.slimmingworld.com/ and see what you think.

 It looks like we will get some rain today to break the humidity.  Thank goodness as our school is not air conditioned.  Going to work reminds me of the old I Love Lucy episode where Ethel and Lucy were in those old fashioned sauna machine things sweating it out!

Cheers
