Hi Anna :) I've been reading through all the ups and downs in your posts and I must admit it's been a little weird, feel as if I could have written most of them myself! So refreshing and reassuring to read about someone who is in a similar boat to me, & I love your honesty too!! I think...

Day one on Extra Easy - I haven't been too hungry today and loving all the fruit.. realised how much I've missed having it around the house to snack on!! Definitely need to make more of an effort to drink lots of water.. got to half 2 and suddenly realised I'd not drunk anything all day...
