What a fab day you've had and an early start he he, love the motivated days gives you a positive boost. Your son sounds very supportive. I see your logic in buying the treats in as for you you would get more tempted if you refused yourself, I couldn't though I buy treats for the kids but I know they will eat them.

My logic may be warped for some people , but its working for me and you are right i would be more tempted!
I have loads of easter eggs in now too! Not just for me but ones ive bought for other people too.
My son was joking with me about not being able to eat them until christmas! I dont mind as long as ive got some.
Thing is, now it sounds like i have loads of goodies in that people will think im gonna binge on as soon as im off diet but im not i promise.
Most stuff i will probably give to my son including the easter eggs. I just like the reassurance of buying it and having it there!
Chocolate rarely bothers me either. Only once in a while if i really fancy some will i have it otherwise i can take it or leave it.
Now .....cake and doughnuts are a different matter.!!!
There IS a reason im fat afterall!! Haha x

What a great day Miss M, you got plenty done there - I can understand about buying yourself the goodies, I think I've said before that I had to carry cigarettes around with me when I gave up and then kept them in the cupboard for months - I find it easier to do without if the things are still there.....I've still got my thorntons toffeechocs for when I finish xx

I did that with cigarettes too. I had some in the drawer for ages. Then strangely they just disappeared. Think my son binned them coz he was worried i was keeping them to smoke them in secret!! Lol

So my other sister came over today.
Said she could see the diet really working now!
Then she said 'your not doing that stupid diet this time though are you?'
I said which one is the stupid diet?
She said the one where you dont eat for weeks, the one that doesnt work!
I said well in that case yes i am doing the stupid diet and it must be working coz you just said you can see it working!! Lol
Anyway i then said the reason it doesn't work is because ive never had a plan for when i come off the diet.
I normally fall off and dont have anything put in place.
I explained my 'grand plan' to her and she seemed happier.
I just need to make the 'after' the diet bit work now to make sure im right

Oh yes. The stupid diet comment comes from my sister too. It makes you feel you need to be secretive some times. It is all in the maintenance though isn't it & now we know where we went wrong we can deal with it.
Its a bit easier for me as she is in Australia so when I skype she can only see the bits I want her to see. Come summer she is going to be so shocked when I give her a full body view. Then I will say, see what the stupid diet can do ha ha x

Thing is, i tried ww last year and i loved it and i think i am actually going to do that again over the summer. However at the start of this diet i worked out a comparison chart and with TFR i would be 13.13 end of march and 15.12 if i did ww!
I needed to lose the initial weight faster than the ww results so thats why im doing tfr now.
When i get the bulk of the weight off, i dont mind doing ww to maintain or have slow losses.
We all have to do what works best for us and how we feel.
Your sister will be amazed at your results in the summer though susie
