My Weight Loss Journey

Well after another weekend of excess I find myself going round in circles. Tuesday to Friday I stick to my diet and track my food on Sparkpeople and then Friday evening comes and my chocolate cravings rear their ugly head. From there it is a huge downward spiral into binge eating on chocolate, sweets and cakes all weekend and even into Monday. So inevitably dieting for 3 and a half days and bingeing for the other 3 and a half days leads to weight gain. So this morning I was 15 stone 9lbs, a gain of 3lbs from last week. This week I am determined to break free from this destructive cycle and am going to eat well all week. So day one begins now and I will keep you updated on my progress. Sparkpeople works well for me because it enables me to track everything I eat on their nutrition tracker and it keeps track of my total calories, carbs, protein and fat consumed throughout the day. It also gives me guideline figures to aim for; for calories, carbs, protein and fat, based on your starting weight.
