Thank you guys!
I've had a bit of a weird few days, hunger wise. I was starving the day before yesterday, then yesterday and today not interested in eating at all. I had another 3 pack day yesterday after being laid up all day with a back problem. Had two so far today - still laid up - but will mix two chocolate shakes together for tea to make a mega chocolate shake to balance it out.

Improving Karen, but slow going! Went for a swim today and combined some back therapy and exercise! My back has loosened off, but my arm muscles are on fire now! hehe

Back is much improved, but life's been a bit all over the place in the last few days. Apologies for not keeping this (or my other blog!) up to date!
I had my WI last night and dropped 2.8lbs this week. A little less than I'd have liked given my stellar losses the past few weeks, but I was lying still for 3 and a half days last week with my back and also didn't drink enough water so I'm quite sure that's played into the slightly lower loss.
Still happy with my 2.8 though as it rounds up my weight loss to 26lbs! 2 more to go to that 2 stone loss!

I’ve been thinking a lot about rewards.
When I was fat and eating like a fat girl, whenever I was happy or something really good happened, I “rewarded” myself with food. I did the exact same thing when I was on diets like weight watchers - when I had a good loss that week I’d use all my points one day to eat junk food.
It’s not healthy and it’s a cycle I have to break, so one way I’ve thought of doing this is rewarding myself with non-food products for each pound and each stone loss.
For each pound lost I’m saving £1 in a piggybank. By the time I’ve lost all the weight I want to lose I should have £90. That’s reward one in the bag!
Then there’s a reward for each stone loss - they start out small and get progressively larger. I’m still working a few out, so any suggestions would be welcome!
Stone 1 (hit in August) - Bought a new outfit.
Stone 2 (will hit in September) - Preordered collector’s edition Batman: Arkham City video game.
Stone 3 - Buy an e-book reader, most likely a Kindle.
Stone 4 - Get the tattoo on my wrist tattooed over and have the original redone on my other wrist.
Stone 5 - Get upper ears and lip pierced.
Stone 6(.5) - Retro make-over from Miss Dixiebelle, Edinburgh and photoshoot.
Got my WI tomorrow. I'm sure I've lost at least a whole 3lbs this week. Feeling even less bloated and my size 16 jeans have a little more space in them than last week. Fingers crossed!

The rewards sound really good. I specially like your idea of a pound per pound lost. You will be looking gorgeous for the photo shoot.

Well done Pandora, nice to see measurements as well as pounds lost. 6 inches at waist is fabulous.
