Healthyish snacks :)



So we all get hungry for a quick snack between meals! I used to find when I got home from work from when dinner used to be, that was the time I would usually feel peckish and need a snack to keep me going. Back in my heavier days I used to snack on bags of crips and biscuits......Not good!!

So loosing weight and trying to keep it off, snacking on the right things is a key way to keep the weight off. So I try to keep snacking down to a minimum, and if I have to have to eat sometime to keep me ticking over here's the snacks I will tend to go for.

1. Usually go for a cream cracker or two, just plain ones they seem to keep my cravings at bay for a little while if i'm waiting for dinner.

2. Frozen grapes are a great idea for healthy snack, infact you can do this with most fruits, I just find grapes the most satisfiying to eat. As they take so long to eat it feels like you've eaten loads, which again makes you feel full.

3. I always used to have a pudding after dinner this is something I do miss and do have from time to time. My choice for a pudding these days if I have to have one, is ceareal. Usually go for coco pops as then I get the taste for something chocolatey.

4. If you feel you must have a chocolate bar, and believe me i've had those times! I mean when a girl needs chocolate she needs it!!!! I always go for a small 2 finger Kit Kat or a Curly Wurly. They were always the healthier less pointed chocolate option on the weight watcher plan so that's what I stuck with.

5. Going to the cinema and really really want a snack, well instead of going for a bag of pic n mix or a massive bag of chocolates, go for some popcorn.
You can get all different falavours these days, sweet, salt, sour cream and chive, I even saw pulled pork the other day!


Let me know you're healthy snacks as I would love to know what other people are snacking on when their cravings kick in?!

Where it all began!!!

So it all started when I was at work with one of my colleagues and she said to me, 'so you fancy giving weight watchers a try with me this week?' She had been before a couple of years ago and wanted to get back on it! I wasn't really fussed and thought it was just another fad diet. But I thought why not give it a go, nothing to loose. (no pun indended)
So we went down to weight watchers that week, got all signed up and ready to stand on the scales bearing in mind I hadn't stepped foot on scales for years as is just rather not know what my weight was!

So it turns out I weighed 19st 4lbs!!!!
This to me was shocking!! I couldn't believe it.
So got my pack given to me and was ready to give weight watchers a chance! I loved that you could still eat what you wanted but you'd have to really think about how many points you'd be left with for the rest of the day!
So the first week was tough to get into a routine of things, especially when I used to eat a whole pack of chocolate digestives to myself some nights! Then went for my second weigh in and lost 5lbs in one week!! This just spurred me on to want to loose my weight! So continued to do so!


I wasn't doing any exercise just changing how I ate and it was dropping off me! I would love the feeling it gave me seeing the scales saying something smaller! My family and friends are so proud of me and say I look amazing all the time and it's such a confidence boost! So after two years of weight watchers I'm now on my current weight of 12 stone 12.9lbs!!

I still would like to get down to my healthy BMI which it 12 stone and I know I can do it with weight watchers! I've recently been on holiday to Barcelona and wore a bikini on the beach for the first time, it was a scary time for me, but I managed it! It's also such a good feeling when you can buy clothes in a smaller size, I did for a while still pick up the bigger sizes even though I wasn't that size anymore!
I've never been happier than I am today and that's all down to starting weight watchers
