Planning ahead is always best!

This last week i have had trouble with my diet, do i do the core plan or do i do points. then i decide core and find that i have eaten something i shouldn't so i switch to points, off course this is not what your suppose to do. Weight Watchers say you still to one meal plan for a week then change if you want too. So whats the best way to succeed. *Read the books your given (yes boring but it only takes 15 mins and can help you a lot) * Plan your week ahead (might be a chore but it helps when you get stuck) * shop on a full stomach (then at least you won't add naughty treats into your trolley) * and finally be relaxed about it, don't call it a diet call it a change/health lifestyle/better eating anything but a diet because then your body/mind will rebel, along with your eating therefor failing at the first hurdle. Trust me i failed for not doing any of these, and now i have i am better for it.

Why am i So Bloated???

So i finally have the answer, since starting my journey i have noticed that my stomach grows and looks really solid, after a lot of investigating i have dicovered i am extremely sensitive to Carbs due to my PCOS. I discover it due to the fact i was not hitting my points and was told i need too to make sure i loose weight healthy. So i started to add Carbs to my diet only to discover that i was constantly being asked when my baby was due because i look so bloated and hard. So i now have to monitor everything i eat in hope that my phantom pregnant stomach will disappear, but i guess it will take time to get used to it, and i have to get it right because this is a life long condition not just something that will go in time. So i need to get it right first time.
