Diets - Progress Report #2
On days that Tris & I have been able to eat together we have both done well.
Unfortunately when Tris is left to make his own food choices he has not been so successful e.g. thinking a wetherspoons burger was ok as he did not have fries. In an effort to avoid further instances of this I have written him some guidelines on how to choose his food & how much of it to eat.

Diets.

In the past I have been dieting because other people have pressured me to but this time I am doing it because I want to. I want to be healthier rather than thinner (although that will be a pleasant side effect) & it is fortunate that Tris also wants...
