So it's official - I have started eating cheese!!!
Will post a pic of me at the wedding later on but thought I'd make a start on a new diary.
Have not graduated to fruit or starch meals yet, and only just added bread in yesterday. The wedding last saturday was my first official gala, though there was definitely more than one glass of wine in there, and i kind of missed the evening buffet, so had to manage with what was left (mostly carbs) plus the breakfast on sunday could have been better but my hangover dictated what went in my mouth...
Been on the scales today and i'm 2lb up which i'm not too dissatisfied with. it could have been worse i'm thinking. Was tempted to wait till after PP tomorrow but couldn't resist today. Will be interesting to see what they say on Friday. Am taking it nice and steady at the moment, will perhaps look at adding fruit in next week and maybe starting starch/gala meals as and when I feel ready.
I've been reading up on some conso diaries to get some tips, and i'm hoping it's going to be a smooth transition for me (albeit with a bit of a blow out of a starter!)
Onto more exciting news then - the wedding all went really well, everyone seemed to have a really good time. I got LOTS of fabulous compliments - both on how I looked and on my chocolates too. Am thinking of maybe seeing how i do with a little online facebook type shop. I was surprised actually to find that I felt very confident and glamorous all day, and was actually looking forward to having my photo taken whereas in my old life I would have been hunched and hiding.
All in all I feel very proud to have made it this far - I've lost almost a third of my previous bodyweight, and feel fantastic for it. I know that the real work starts here in conso, and am determined to give it my all to make sure that this remains the last diet I'll ever do.
