I've starting a food journal, but even over the past 2/3 days I've noticed something important.
Monday includes "200g of fruit and nut chocolate", as well as "2 large chunks of cheese".
Now, I could try and excuse away those two things with such excuses as "it had fruit in it" or "it was between slices of wholewheat bread" but I won't. I'm tired of lying to myself. That's going to stop- right........NOW.
How am I going about changing this? Well, I've made several portions of leek, potato and chickpea soup, which I can shove in the microwave should I feel hungry. I'm also going to take bran flakes to work with me as a snack because a) they're healthy, b) they're filling, c)they're tasty and d)it'll make my boss jealous. She loves bran flakes.

good luck to you!
Thanks for taking the time to comment on my Losing a Hundredweight blog.
If 230lbs is your ideal weight, I guess that makes you 6 feet 9. I had to go and make the calculations a I'm 5 feet 7, so 230 seemed awfully big. I guess it goes to prove the old maxim "I'm not overweight, I'm under-tall"
My wife and I's approach to weight loss has been to focus on eating healthily - wholemeal and boorwn instead of white, plenty of fresh fruit & veg and cutting out processed foods where ever possible. This, along with cutting out evening snacking has meant that over the past 2 years we've both lost over 90lbs each. It's not always been easy and there have been times when we've gone backwards, but we've become a lot healthier.
In order to succeed you have to look on this as a lifestyle change, and not a diet.
Best of fortune in your quest
