It's gone okay today. This is what I've eaten:-

Breakfast
Two slices of toast thinly spread with half fat Flora and tons of Marmite
Lunch
One ham and lettuce sandwich with half fat mayo and no butter, cherry tomatoes, Minibabybel, two apples, banana, Go Ahead choccy bar.
Dinner
Two cheese, spring onion and chive crispbakes, tons of green beans and cauliflower, low fat Mullerice.
Snack
Big lettuce, carrot and red cabbage salad with low fat dressing.
Drinks
Four teas with sweetener and skimmed milk, robinsons peach fruit and barley, one Options hot chocolate.

As you can see, there is definite room for improvement but I've managed to get through today without snacking badly which will be the first hurdle. If I can keep that up for a week then I'll be happy. Once I've done that I'll start removing some of the more unhealthy foods from my everyday meals.

My basic tactics are to eventually eat like a gorilla (I was watching Animal Planet earlier.) That means I'm going to eat so many veggies that there will be no space for anything else.

Also, I've had to edit the comments posted in the blog post below. I'm trying to convince myself that I'm not dieting (last time I'm using that word for a while...) but eating healthily. The thing that has become apparent to me is that once I have lost the weight I still have to watch what I eat because I've put on over two stone in the space of eighteen months.
