Well people are noticing my weight loss now, which is great and helps with the motivation to keep going. I think this is day 67 - week 10 anyway. When I started I didn't think I could keep on it for more than a few weeks but have surprised myself. Actually not thinking about food for myself has been very liberating.

Hi, I've just been reading your diary to get some motivation as I'm having a bit of down day today and I'm only just coming to the end of week 2. You've done so well. Congratulations.

Thanks Cate. Please do stick with it. You will have down days, but the results are so worth it. Please do take each day at a time and you will soon see results. Once the weight starts coming off it really motivates you to carry on and not undo all the work and effort that has gone in.

Been busy busy but still staying focussed. There are times when I fancy eating something but I stay strong and the moment passes. The weight loss really helps the motivation as you don't want to undo the good work. 12 weeks done now. Weigh in this morning. Another 4.5lbs gone. Really pleased with that. My next big goal is to get an overweight rather than obese BMI mark, but that is still a little way off. Got into a sleeveless top that I haven't for for years as it is set to be hot and sunny today. Must keep drinking the water!

Thank you BeeBee. I will catch up with your diary too…
A few rambling thoughts this morning as I sit here with my coffee before tackling the next jobs. The thing with this diet (or any other diet) is that I don't think you can do it for anyone else. It is such a personal thing a diet - that the only person who can truly motivate you to start it, stick at it, come out the other side and keep the weight off - is you/oneself. I have tried dieting before for other reasons - because I should do or because it would keep someone else happy. This time it's for me. It is not easy. There are good days and bad. But I am sticking to it because I don't want to let myself down and I deserve to be slimmer and healthier. My hubby is very supportive fat or not, which is lovely. But it is my journey. I decide what goes in my mouth and that is empowering. Last night I cooked a 4 course meal for 7 guests and loved doing it, but I had my red bean chilli pack. Did I feel deprived? No. Did anyone even notice that i wasn't eating "proper food." No. Too often I think we get hung up (the old me included) about what other people think. Will they think it funny I am not eating the food I cooked? No. Will they ask me loads of questions about my diet? No. My choice what goes in my mouth, and actually no one else is bothered. My life. My choices. How strong does that make me feel? Right, better get on with those jobs...
