Hey,

Oh that’s good then that we weigh in on the same day as each other! I am also going to weigh myself on Thursday Mornings when I get up and record it in my diary, I know its not gonna be the same as when I weigh in at my CDC house but I am too impatient to wait! Ha ha! (I was actually 16st5lb on my scales and 16st6 on hers but hey ho!)

I tried this diet back in July and I found it a LOT harder than I am now for some reason and gave up after 10 days….couldn’t get into the right frame of mind which I think you need to be in. This time around I feel so different! Ithink it’s a mixture of knowing I can do it (after my ‘trial’ in July) and the fact I am fed up of being this weight and got so depresses about it last week! I luckily haven’t felt too bad – last night was a struggle at home – kept looking at Cup Cakes on the internet and had a real craving for some! But I think the trick is to occupy your mind with something else – and for me that was playing tetris on my DS lite! Ha ha!

I have a shake for breakfast, but eaten out of a bowl rather than drank cause I cant for some reason, then soups for Lunch & Dinner. Currently I am liking Butterscotch & Vanilla shakes haven’t tried any of the others, may ask my CDC for some Banana ones – do you know where I can get a full list of all the products they do?

Anyway I was in Sainsbury’s last night and normally I would go up to the fresh bread counter and by a crusty loaf and go home and just eat bread with clover on it (I HEART bread and butter!!) but I just went to the Pharmacy & walked back out again! God it felt good! I think this is going to be a total learning curve for me as well as I am realizing that I DON’T NEED to eat crap all the time, I should maybe allow myself to have the occasional treat……

Anyway I am at work too so I better get off! Will post again later! Hopefully some others will join us too!
