Three Hour Diet

So you have at last taken the plunge and moved in with your boyfriend – but oh dear – those man sized portions are playing havoc with your weight! How to deal with the problem is simple - get a Diet Plate.

All began well enough with me marveling at the amount of food he was able to put away, while picking at my salad, but over time my portion sizes have been steadily growing, as has my waistline. It got to the point where I was serving him giant helpings on a giant plate and congratulating myself on the fact my plate looked measly in comparison, but when my trusted Ôcomfy trousers' failed to meet at the zip I knew it was time to stop kidding myself and take action.

Because my cleavage was also growing the boyfriend doesn't seem too concerned. "Look, look at all that fat", I screech while neurotically pinching my belly. "Love handles", said the boyfriend, "Don't worry about it, I like them."

The problem is I had forgotten what a normal sized portion is supposed to look like. Whatever the size of the plate, I would fill it and eat the lot. Then I heard about the Diet Plate. Now instead of picking at a salad while my boyfriend ate sausages and mash, I have reduced my portion sizes and upped the exercise.

After only two weeks I am feeling much sleeker. We're both eating exactly the same meals so there's no calorie counting and no fuss, but I'm eating less of them by sticking to the measured boundary for starchy carbohydrates and protein. I am not going hungry and have a much clearer idea of how much food I should have on my plate. I'm just not eating until I'm stuffed anymore. I'm also starting to go to gym classes regularly, rather than just paying the membership and showing my face once a week to use the shower before a night out.

A month on and I've dropped a few pounds. I can now do the zip up on my favorite jeans and in another month or two they will hopefully be lose enough for me to actually walk in! I love my food so having to cut out carbs, chocolate etc. is not an option. I'm just going to have to learn to be less greedy.
