My Diet

Last week I started a diet using slimming world.  My mum runs a local slimming world club and because I think I could do with losing a few pounds I decided to join.  One week later I am two pounds lighter!  Only 19 left to go.  ( I want to lose 1 1/2 stone) I was hoping for a bigger lose but as I was told as I have less to lose, I will lose is slower!  All of the other first timers lost up to 5lb in their first week!  I was hoping for about 4.  I am no surprised as I ate more last week then I ever have in a week. But it was all healthy and I lost weight. 

The diet is good as you can eat anything you want really.  You just have to monitor the naughty stuff.   The trouble for me is that some of the naughty stuff is what I use in my cooking. But I am learning alternatives.  The past week I learned about Quark which is a low fat soft cheese which you can sweeten (with sweeter of course, not sugar) to become and alternative to cream.  I made this fab roll cake with raspberries which was very nice.  I also made home made chicken kievs and chips.  All slimming world style.  It was yum. I am planning on cooking a burger this week.  I am determined to eat all my junk food but at home with me cooking it healthily.  Why hasn't someone come up with a healthy version of mc Donalds or KFC?  Maybe this should be my next project.
