Lost a Stone eating like a Child!





“inch by inch I got rounder and rounder”

Swore the dryer was shrinking my clothes and bought new ones in a larger size, inch by inch I got rounder and rounder until last Christmas, when I weighed myself and to my horror I was the same weight as my boyfriend Aghhhh!
  


So, I decided “that was it!”
I had to make some dramatic changes to my eating habits and the old expression….”eat like a King in the morning and a Pauper in the evening”……echoed in my mind.



"I just ate my largest meal too late"

I didn’t eat badly or even unhealthily I just ate my largest meal too late, so I returned to my childhood meal timetable and ate my largest meal at lunchtime with a small breakfast and a traditional teatime favourite in the evening.



“lost 1 stone straight off the bat”

To my delight, I only have to cook two main meals a week, which meant more time in the evening. I froze portions for my work lunchtimes and prepared salads to break up the week, and of course, I had all those childhood teatime favourites like beans on toast, egg salad or tuna sandwiches and fish fingers.



I still have large bunch on Saturday and Sunday mornings with sausages or rashers or salmon with eggs, salad and fruit. And weekend treats popcorn, drinks and teatime treats.



Yes, I did go to the gym but nothing too full on, only two nights at aqua aerobics (without himself obviously) but we both lost 1 stone straight off the bat, and loads of extra time on weekday evenings.



So, its win win…and something everyone should give a go to lose some extra pounds
