This week marks the first week of the school holidays. Our children are staying with my parents down the South Coast for a week, so my husband Ross & I have been out to dinner a couple of times. We had Thai one night and Italian the other. We chose the lighter options on the menu and both were delicious. In the past when we went out for dinner, we used to order so much food like it was our very last meal and we would come home so full. This time we just ordered a normal amount and ate slowly; it was also a lot more cost effective.

I worked all week on the weekend, cooking and giving people sample of our vege burgers and our gluten-free dips. They smelt delicious. There were all the other demonstration people cooking their products and it was very tempting, but I took my ready made shake along and had an apple. One lady’s comment to me was “how do you stay slim with this food as it is so moorish”. If she only knew I had just lost 11kg. It’s nice to see people actually now see me as slim!!!

On my weight loss journey I have averaged 1kg a week which I believe is a good steady way to loose the weight. I feel that I’m not missing out on food like other diets that may restrict you. With ULTRAslim you can still have your carbohydrates and your dark cherry chocolate bar. You just have to enjoy them and not over indulge, which you have to do to stay within your healthy weight range anyway. It’s teaching me good long-term habits.
