12WBT - Pre-Season Task 6 - Kitchen Makeover

When trying to lose weight, diet is more important than exercise.  I've heard between 70 to 80 percent of losing weight is exercise, with the other 20 to 30 percent being exercise.

Therefore, pre-season task 6 is about cleaning out your kitchen and getting rid of temptation. 

I didn't think I would have much to get rid of, not because I don't eat junk, but because I tend to eat junk food as soon as I buy it and it is never around long enough to get into the cupboard! 

I did get rid of a few things, including:

• Jar of strawberry jam
• Juice (better to eat the fruit rather than getting the calories from juice)
• Icing sugar mix
• Magarine (when I cook I use cooking oil spray, so the only thing the margarine is used for is to add extra calories to bread)

I love to bake, but that will have to be put on hold for a while - when I bake I take things into work, but once I do that I always end up having some myself.  (It's a bit hard to get other people to eat your food if you won't!)

I will say there are still some temptatoins in the house.  I have a flatmate, and obviously I can't get rid of her food!  But it means to eat junk I would have to essentially be stealing her food, so I would have to be desperate!
