[...] – For the month of January, I lost 2kgs (4.4lbs). It wasn’t easy I must admit, and did find it hard to adhere each day to my 1500 calorie limit, especially as I currently at home on leave from work [...]

Yeh, its a real killer, there is some much emphasis on convenience these days.

Eventually I will be clearing an area in my yard for my first real vege patch and start eating some home goodness.

I like the idea about the smashed tomato, Us Aussies will put ketchup on everything!

I think your second point, is the biggest point for me: Not eating real food

Sometimes, when I see people try “real” food versions of their processed packaged versions, they wrinkle their nose because they aren’t used to eating real food, and want the overly salty or overly sugary version of it.

Now, I can’t even eat tomato ketchup from a packet. I’d much prefer a smashed tomato from a can, cooked down and made into a paste, to become a more natural ketchup.

Correction … to my previous post. I weight 30 pounds MORE than I did in June. Sometimes I have to just say no to myself when I feel the urge to eat when I know full well that I’m not hungry.

Yesterday I ate too much, and went to be feeling a bit lethargic. Today I will write down what I’m going to eat and then eat just that. Good luck to you all.

I definitely agree with #2! There’s way too many processed “foods” out there today. My pet peeve is labels that say “processed _______ food”. Um. If you have to tell us that it’s food, it’s likely not really food.
