Its good to have friends and family, but yep, absolutely u need people in the same place too. If in 7 weeks you can lose another 14lbs which is a very mild weightloss compared to what you can actually achieve, you will feel 100% better and it'll spur you. Just like the first few days for all of us, its hard and u feel like eating, screaming, crying and questioning your sanity for chosing such a diet!! In one of Paul McKenna's books about being skinny, he tells you to envisage yourself as 'skinny' walking through ur front door - every day. I suppose this is the same principle of digging out actual photos too??
You've done really well so far, the problem with breaks and slip-ups is that we all seem to focus more on these than giving ourselves a bit of an easier time of it. It's easier to beat urself up than it is to pat urself on the back....
You will do this, by the sounds of u, u need to ottherwise ur gonna push urself right back mentally...
Drink ur water, read a book, look at all the lovely smaller clothes.
Keep at it xxx (Sorry for the long long post!!)
