Had an encouraging moment this morning, managed to fit into a pair of jeggings that I couldn't get fit into before. They are the same size as my current jeans but I couldn't get them up over my bum and thighs before.
Admittedly it may have been a squeeze but they fit.

Am having a real down day today, keep thinking about eating and to top it off my parents who I still live with are having one of my favourite dinners. Sausages, French bread, crisps, pickles and salad. I know they have to eat still but the thought of listening to my dad eat (he is a very noisy eater) is already putting me in a bad mood.
This mood isn't helped by my sister who I thought would be supportive towards me acting really insensitive when I said I wouldn't be going to her bf's birthday meal, it is an important birthday but I can't stop for one meal as I know it would struggle to get back into it.

It's difficult to hide away as we are a family that likes to sit together and it is always assumed that I am in a bad mood if I go off somewhere.
I am on day 11 I think. I know it's all on my head that i need the food as I don't.
I'm hoping that when my body starts changing and I'm in some smaller clothes that will be an incentive to keep me going when I have tough moments like this

When I visit my mum and dad when I do this, I sit with them sometimes and other times I've said 'Sorry it's a bit much for me tonight, do you mind if I sit in the other room?' I also went to my Dad's 70th birthday meal the first time I did this and had a litre of sparkly water. It's possible to sit with people who are eating and not eat or choose to be away from it. Your choice and I agree it's really tough, especially in the first few weeks before the changes happen, but more than most diets we have to really prioritise ourselves in order to get through.

I don't think I would be able to go and sit and not order anything. It might not be so bad if it was in a pub or something similar but this won't be, and I think a lot of his family will be there and I don't know them so they may think I'm really odd.
When I did it successfully first time I just avoided food related socialising and changed the way I went out so think I'm going to have to the same this time round and suck it up and think of my Florida holiday as my reward

Yeah they gave me some painkillers and did some tests but they came back normal so the doctor think for might be an ovarian cyst so will need to wait for an outpatients appointment now to find out but am not in the intense pain i was in before which is good

Glad you're not in pain anymore. Are you taking something to eat with the painkillers? I remember burning my stomach lining before with ibuprofen, it wasn't much fun.
I didn't realise an ovarian cyst would cause any pain so I hope they get you an appointment pretty sharpish x

No, didn't have any food as such but had a porridge slim and save sachet. It's more paracetamol based I think so hoping it will be ok. Was extremely dizzy and faint when I got back but I had literally had half a bar as the pain was to intense to have anything.
The doctor said it could be that it was aggravated and grew on size and may have gone down now which is why the pain eased. Hoping to get an appointment in the next few days to get a referral to get it checked.
