Hi May starters
Good to see all the positive vibes from everyone. I started 1st May and into my 3rd week and getting more and more inspired by this programme - and the stories I read on here too! I've lost 17lbs so far - a drop in my large ocean but on the way.
Madhatter I'm totally with you about Fridays. Last night was my 3rd Friday and it was no where like that first Friday of feeling totally deprived of my weekend treats. Instead there was a bit of regret for a fleeting moment when I walked by the old haunts (what do I sound like??
)
Summer I think your achievements are wonderful and I bet you didn't think you could. So I decided to bore you all and write down my achievements for the past week too.
I had a cousin staying for a couple of days so on the first day I cooked her steak, and all the trimmings pus a nice lemon dessert.
Next day we went to my uncle's and he cooked my favourite - roast chicken etc. I was drooling I must admit but the veggie soup was woofed down quickly and it helped.
Then I've had 2 nights out and watched them all getting p***ed and I must admit to having had enough of sparkling water after 2 nights.
I felt a bit deprived the first evening and on the second I decided to change the attitude to one of pride in myself. I think if I had gone out again feeling deprived I may have succumbed.
Sorry for the ramblings - getting as bad as Helen! (only joking, it's great to read your posts
)
That's all for now and talk soon.
Keep up the good work
