I wouldn’t consider myself one of those brides that obsesses about their weight before the big day, but when you try on your wedding dress after it’s come in from the manufacturer and it’s so tight you can hardly breathe, you know its diet time…. and I’d rather not end up like Elizabeth Swan in “Pirates of the Caribbean” when she faints and falls into the ocean because her dress is too tight. :-/
That’s why I’ve started watching what I eat and keeping track of my calories on TheDailyPlate.com.
On this site, I’m able to search for any food I eat, get an estimate of the calories and any other nutrition information, and track what I eat every single day. They recently added in this little pie chart that shows a break down of your protein, fat, etc… for the day! I love it.
So I’ve been keeping to a strict diet consisting of the following:
• Breakfast: cereal or oat bread
• Mid-morning: some type of fruit
• Lunch: Healthy meat and veggies or one of those Weight Watchers Smart Ones meals
• Mid-afternoon: some non-fat yogurt or fruit
• Dinner: Varies, but usually some sort of meat and veggies
Staggering my meals seems to really help. But my downfall is sweets…. I went about 4 days last week without chocolate, then blew it by making chocolate chip cookies last night. (SOOOOOO GOOD!!) But that’s ok, a little falling off the wagon on the weekend is OK I think… At least I have a good seamstress who can take my dress out a bit if necessary.
