I just can't do it!!





This post is dedicated to all of you out there that feel losing weight is impossible. Like my friend ( who does not want to be named on my blog - she's shy) who has the constant excuses like; it's too hard, I don't have the time to be tracking or I don't even like healthy food!

I have had countless conversations with her explaining how I eat more than her in a day and I manage to lose weight most weeks but most importantly I eat healthier and I am satisfied for longer with the foods that I choose to eat. She said to me if you could just write out everything for me to eat that would help me lose weight then I would eat it. So, like a fairy god mother I have granted her wish and made out a week menu of the same foods that I would normally eat that I would like her to try for the week ahead.I have taken into consideration that she does like to have a drink on a Saturday night and she always has a takeaway on a Sunday so I have Incorporated that into her menu.

Should she stick to this, with a little bit of exercise e.g walking, swimming or just more than she normally does at least 3 times in the week she is guaranteed to shed some lbs. If she agrees to try my menu for the week I will report back to you and tell you if she has lost any weight. In the mean time if any of you would like to try this please do and  let me know what the results are for yourselves.
