Dieting is dull.

[malificent7]

I need to loose a stone and i know i will feel amazing if i do but its so dull.
Am vaguely following sw. I want pizza, chocolate , bread and butter, chinese Indian etc. Miller lights and eggs dont cut it.
Any lazy foodies lost weight without getting bored?

I love food.

on slimming world, what to do you add things like baked potato and tuna to make it taste better? I find tinned tuna without mayonnaise pretty awful, and that lighter than light mayo isn't much better. you just add regular mayo if that's what you want. Count it in your 'syn' allowance

My problem is that I loathe the texture of most veg and salads so in order to bulk things out I have to put my thinking cap on and then end up using one of only three veggies I actually tolerate. Every day. So that gets shit quickly.

I honestly think some people are naturally slim cos they're palates are different. I know a girl who loves anything crunchy. So she's forever eating salads and kale and broccoli etc. No wonder she's so slim!

Meanwhile I only really enjoy soft food (which I realise makes me sound like a baby, lol). Tbh the main way I get veggies into me is by blitzing them into a soffrito!

Diet plans tend to only really cater for the person who's a veggie fiend, I notice.

Elspeth I find that too. I also find that when I'm stressed the variety of food I can tolerate decreases. It's hard.

I have also lost weight on a low carb diet, 4.7st in about 7 months, I don't feel deprived, and I LOVE food, hence being so fat in the first place!

Over indulgence over the last few months has left me needing to change my outlook on food and so far I'm loving it.
BBC Goodfood website has some excellent recipes which are low calorie.

A standard day for me:
B- Muesli or granola with semi-skimmed milk
L- Salad with either a bit of pasta or some bread
D- Roasted veg frittata and boiled potatoes/stuffed chicken breast wrapped in pancetta with veg/tuna steak with quinoa and aspargus (with a healthy dollop of balsamic!)
Snacks - fruit salad and cucumber and pepper with hummus.

I don't deny myself anything though - if I want some wine, I'll have it. If I want chocolate, I'll have it. BUT - the amounts are much smaller than they were.

I'm a baby who only enjoys soft food. BMI around 21.

I'm going to be rude... (had a bit of gin so ignore if this is annoying)

I love my food, too. I love it so much that I won't eat unless I KNOW that I am going to enjoy it fully. So I would rather go hungry for hours rather than try to eat when I don't have time to fully enjoy my food. I love my food so much that I have become very picky about when & how I eat.

When people say they overeat b/c they "love their food too much", I can't help but think that overeating means they can't love or enjoy their food at all.
