I’m sitting here writing this nonsense and munching at my “delicious” lunch of basmati rice with just a drop of olive oil and a sprinkle of Parmesan ....trying to imagine a nice curry dish to eat along this rather fade lunch of mine....It's all my fault. Although I took on the challenge of notSupermum: The Big Momma Challenge 2011 : week 3 to help myself to lose a few extra pounds I put on in the last six months, especially over Christmas, already 3 weeks ago, it's only now that I’ve started taking it seriously. Now that's the challenge is something more than shifting a bit of weight but becoming a healthy eater and help myself to get over my digestion problems. In the last couple of weeks I tried to start eating better, avoiding my tea&biscuits – tea&cakes weakness, but I failed miserably mainly due to the fact that January seems to be the month of birthdays among my friends and family. I know it is not a good excuse, but how can you really refuse a lovely meal with friends, an afternoon tea to celebrate an anniversary or a glass of champagne offered by a colleague for her promotion? I didn’t manage that, not until yesterday, but now I have to, for the sake of my IBS and my physical health. So I thank notSupermum for the opportunity of joining a little group of ladies (men welcome too, I suppose!) who are trying to defeat their bad eating habits and get better....Update next week…Fingers crossed….
(No, this isn't a healthy diet plan...I fear...)

Well done! It really does take some time to adjust to a different way of thinking and to really get a routine going. I don't think you should think of it as giving something up though, I am still eating the same things as before (but fewer snacks) I just eat smaller portions now. I'm viewing this as a change of lifestyle, and I'll still want the occasional lovely meal with friends or glass of champagne - just maybe in moderation now! Good luck for next week xx Baci
Good luck with your diet, I hope you can lose pounds easily. Your rice doesn't sound too bad, I love Italian food.
"avoiding my tea&biscuits – tea&cakes..." - I grieve for you but not with you.

Oh goodness....I'm not sure about giving up biscuits and cakes ;-) Good Luck though! xx
Hope next week is easier
I've heard it said that it takes 6 weeks for something to become a habit. Best of luck on your new eating plan.

I don’t think I could live without my tea and biscotti.
After reading your great review we went to see the King Speech. You are absolutely right – this is an above average movie and Colin Firth is outstanding. He deserved the Globe Award he received.
Best of luck with your new eating plan, Antonella!
