I'm off work for a few days which is great because it means I don't have to worry about feeling sick while working. On the other hand, it means I have lots of time to obsess about food and how good it would taste. Its funny but when I diet I don't crave sweets/crisps/lucozade and all the other food that got me to the weight I am.

It's a small mile stone but one nonetheless .

It's a friday and start of the Carnaval in my town for eight days, I hope I can enjoy the carnaval without enjoying the food and stick...

Friday today, day 5 and by Jove have I got that friday feeling. All sorts of issues at home but I've got that glow of wellbeing only Lipo brings!

I feel great and since hitting Day 4 my motivation has hit an all time high. I smelt toast and for the first time EVER it smelt awful - really sugary and fake. Yuck.

I am just keeping an idea of what I'll look like in my head and looking forward to all the good things that will come with achieving my target. I am so excited,...

I just finished my first day SS on Cambridge - it was ok actually. I already know I don't like Fruits of the forest, Spicy tomato is quite nice and Chocolate tetras might just save my life ).

I haven't told anyone I'm doing this diet for various reasons so I wanted to kind of 'announce' it so I don't have the excuse to cheat or go easy on myself because "no-one knows anyway."

I know we've all gots tons of reasons to start on CD but just wanted to mention...
