You're right, we are used to instant gratification in this modern world. It's all ok though, this process is a learning curve because I'm doing it the diembroadhurst way this time!

Good morning Wednesday, I've woken up wondering whether I am actually in ketosis. I could be because I'm not really ever that hungry (although always glad when it's time for my pack). However my breath is not particularly bad and hadn't been for days and I'm not cold. These are things that I have had very strongly on my previous forays with CD. It could be that I'm sensitive to the carb content of the bars this time round and it's kicking me out of ketosis. So here's the dilemma; do I go without bars to get as much weight off as poss, or do I carry on regardless with the bars because I love those Tesco bars, really look forward to them every once a day and they make the diet easier because they're convenient? Will I still lose weight because I'm only consuming 600 calories per day anyway? I think I've got my answer there, regardless of ketosis the .' less calories more output' thing will surely enable weight loss?

Oh you're so good D, go on and throw those punches in the air! Yes, I do have an odd taste in my mouth so I'm happy with that. I'm going to stop being so damn silly now.
On an exciting note, I'm going to take my lovely DH to London next weekend. Got a great deal on a travelodge and we'll have a lovely walk around Piccadilly, maybe fortnum and mason, see the bomber command memorial in green park, walk down the mall, maybe the national gallery. The next day take in the pre olympic events on the south bank. I'm not sure how I'll manage my packs on those days, but I will, even if by mixing them with tap water in a glass. I'm excited already, haven't even seen the DH to tell him.

Dear diary, I've worked it out to be day 14 in the big diet house. I've got a morning at work, then the afternoon free. am looking forward to a nice walk along the beach with the dog if this sunshine lasts. Tomorrow I'm off to London for the day to see the summer exhibition at the royal academy, armed with my bar and plenty of water! That will be a good day for walking too, so I'm feeling very optimistic that I'll do well with weight loss.

Yes, I love the coastal walks too. I'm on the east Kent coast. I like dorset very much, the lovely Mr and I spent a smashing week there a few years ago. Nice photos of us atop chesil beach and making wacky gesticulations toward durdle door!

Eek, I've just had the biggest temptation so far; made the lovely DH a shepherds pie with sweet potato, carrot and new potato mash and melted cheese. It's torture in the house with the smell, but I've had a bouillon to help me through.
On a plus note, I've had to put a fleece on because I'm freezing even though the shepherds pie trougher tells me it's not cold. Must, must, must be in ketosis then - hurrah!

Mmmm, curry, rice, poppadoms, mango chutney. Stop it now, must be thin for Bali, must be thin for Bali!!
On another note, my friends in Sweden have started CD this week. They've been they've been told they'll lose 8lbs per week, 2 stone a month. They are so disappointed now I've corrected them!

I am in the restaurant at the royal academy. My cousin is eating a gorgeous lunch and, much to her embarrassment, I am eating a bar with my black coffee. I feel empowered!

This morning I did a week 2 weigh in despite saying I wouldn't. I have been 100%, 4 litres water daily every day. Week 1 I lost 5 lbs, this week only 2 lbs. I am miffed to say the least, I've always had huge losses on previous vlcd's. I am not put off as it is coming off in inches, and people are noticing I have a thinner face, also even if I only lose 2 lbs every week I will lose 18lbs before I go away, which is better than quitting and putting on weight. It could be because I'm on beta blockers this time, maybe that makes a difference? It will all work itself out in the end I'm sure.

I'm struggling today, I long for the taste of lovely food! I'm not hungry and I'm not in danger if actually eating, but I would just love to go out for dinner tonight and eat something really tasty. I'm also struggling to find the motivation to drink my water. I've only had a litre, usually I've done 3 by now!
I'm going to have bouillon and a bar for lunch and hope that gets me through it! Maybe it's this dark, dismal day making me crave food?

Eek, the river at the bottom of the garden is flowing into the garden after a huge storm! Haven't seen that happen since we've lived here in 10 years. The people down the road are flooded throughout, have burned some calories helping them bail water out. Soon took my mind off food!

Thanks! It doesn't seem too bad at the mo. Police and environment agency are skulking about, presume they'll sort things.

Hello Sunday! I am feeling very proud of myself for utilising an alternative tactic (bed), instead of giving in to the milky bar devil!
My body remains an Exante temple. Here's hoping I don't have to do battle with an other ridiculous cravings today.
I am only getting out of bed once I have drink my first litre of water. Will then think of somewhere lovely to take the dog for a long walk.
Have a good day everyone.
