I suspect since I was at curves - my body became so used to the routine there that I wasnt really loosing weight - I had lost cm's but not weight in about 6months.
Also strict diets are the fastest way to put on weight :P I found its so much easier to make myself not feel guilty about a desert or chocolate since I was on the strict diet. Now tho I just eat healthier - loads of veggies with my dinner at night - less rice/potatoes (I cant say no to pasta or mash tho :P). Lunches now a days consist of salads, or just half a cucumber. But when I feel like having a packet of crisps I will and the same goes for chocolate.
Takeaways havent been a big part of my life for a while now, and when I do bother I go for healthier options. Also found a chinese market that sells dim sum, which I buy by the bucket load and keep in the freezer - that is my downfall. But then again its pastas with pork and cabbage fillings. And the best is there are many ways to cook it - I tend to boil it or steam it and have a lovely "take away" dinner that is to die for.
My other thing is I have stopped eating bread as much and when I do I go for rye bread or rolls. And only 2 times a week.
