Thanks Whatsnewpussycat and Helen!! I need all the motivation I can get to keep me going. And I know what you mean Helen about getting into the mindset of surely it must be ok to slip because everyone else is... that's why I am always in two minds of how much information to include on those "bad" days. But it is defnintely possible to claim some of the pre-slip up territory back, it's just really hard work.... I did manage yesterday, yipeeehhh, I actually felt really full after my thai chilli AND the rest of my banana shake, so that was nice and kept me from wanting to nibble anything before going to bed. No idea how it happened that I had so much left to eat, I am normally pretty much like clockwork with my shakes, but it did make a nice change.
Today I am doing well so far, 2 litres of water and 1 pack. The challenge will come this afternoon, as my daughter will have some friends over for tea, my poor son doesn't (as his best friend is busy) and throw the little on in for good measure and I know it's going to be chaos, so I have to think of some strategies now to keep me on the straight and narrow. I think it will involve a lot of coffee, which in turn will probably keep me up all night but eyh, I can't have it all....
On a different topic, I really notice my body changing at the moment almost on a daily basis. Not necessarily in the way I would like it to though. My breasts seem to disappear in the bra I just bought a week ago (now what does that tell me????), my tummy still looks massive, although my size 14 jeans now fit me very comfortably. My face is getting all wrinkly and is starting to look quite thin overall. Why oh why is my body just so reluctant to let go of my middle section????? I hope this will balance out over the next few months, as LLC has always warned us that the body will need time to catch up with the rapid weight loss.
One more week until my birthday, yipeeh, and that lovely dress that is hiding in my wardrobe to be taken out....
