Aw thanks so much Evi!
Day 9!
Yesterday I went to the cinema to watch Maleficent, it was fab! Kinda difficult at the cinema though because I would usually be having nachos and slush puppies and a whole bag of giant buttons (well maybe not the whole thing, but I'd put a dent in it!) and then a few hours later at home I'd be making houmous and grilling hallumi! Damn I love greek food...
Anyway, I got into the queue and it was so tempting to order a large coke zero... But I refrained. For three reasons: Firstly, I hear it can kick you out of Keto in the first two weeks so I didn't want to risk it. Secondly, I had this fear that maybe it was just diet coke, or they would just use normal coke and I would be ingesting all the calories! Thirdly... I don't even like coke! I never used to drink it pre diet lol, and certainly never anything fizzy full stop! But I think I was just so tempted by something that tastes different. But the desire was fleeting and I politely asked for a large bottle of water instead
Yay!
I feel very settled with just having the packets now. At first it was so over whelming wondering what on earth I would do when I felt like I wanted to eat. But it's weird because I just have zero desire to eat anything I shouldn't. Unusual for me because I normally cannot resist food.
Although I think it really helps that my husband is cooking all his own food. Before Cambridge.. (BC lol!) I cooked a meal for us both every night when he got home from work. I did all the cooking 100% of the time, meaning I had free reign to make whatever dishes I fancied and pick at bits as I cooked, so unhealthy! Wheras now I can just go and read a book and close the door.
Heading into the city now to pick up a new book from waterstones and sure Mark will want something to eat whilst he's out so he doesn't have to cook lol. I'll be trapped in the car with him and probably some giant delicious smelling burger lol!

The results are in, 5lbs lost this week! Very happy indeed. I hear there can be a slow down in week three but I hope not, I am on a roll to losing my rolls!
Health wise I feel fab, sleeping better and not at all hungry. I get the odd craving but nothing near bad enough to make me want to cheat. Here's to my third week of 100% ss! x

Hi Abi :wavey: I've just read your diary, you're doing soooooooo well!! I know standing on those scales on the first day was hard but just think, you'll never let yourself get to that point again! That's how I think anyway...I just got to the point where I was sick and tired of having to think carefully about what I was wearing, everything had to cover my arms and tummy and bum!
youve done great in your last two weigh ins, well done! I've been to the cinema twice since starting this diet, the first time was really hard but this weekend I looked at the popcorn and the chocolate and just thought, nah...I'm not really bothered! However there's a big family roast dinner this weekend....now that will bother me! I get the odd craving also especially on weekends which makes me think it's more psychological than physical! But I just eat two hard boiled eggs or some chicken and cucumber and it barely reflects in my losses but keeps me sane and on track!
