Trust is a flickle thing..

After blogging yesterday I learnt a lesson I am not likely to forget - Trust nobody.

Okay so that is a bit harsh; but when it comes to my weight loss I have really learnt that know one else will be as strict as me because nobody wants me to lose this weight as much as I do. Okay so rewinding - let me tell you want happened.

Yesterday, after blogging, I went at a counselling appointment. On Friday's, after my appointment, a group of teenagers and workers from the organisation I go to for counselling and support for my weight loss have lunch together. I was planning on hanging around and eating until I learnt they were having kebabs; but the workers who I have been talking to about losing weight said it should be fine - to just get a salad plate (basically a kebab without the bread).
I trusted that they knew what they were talking about. It wasn't until I got home and looked up the calories online that I was shocked and upset.

Kebabs have close to 1000 calories!! Due to the fat in the meat. I was so upset and I learnt a valuable lesson.
Even though people act like they know what they are talking about they don't always. When it comes to my weight and my journey of losing it I should trust know one but myself and I should always double check calories in my calorie book as apposed just taking other people word for it.

So all of you out there trying to lose weight - don't just trust anybody. Don't just trust your friends or 'professionals' unless they are trained dietitians. I have learnt I need to check things myself because nobody wants me to lose this weight as much as I do.

So I hope this wasn't too depressing :) and I want you to know I am not mad or upset anymore. Today is a knew day and it's time to jump back on the weight loss horse. :)

Thanks for reading! :-)
