Total weight loss for 10 days of phase 1 is 11.75lb. My new weight is 15st 0.5lb. I'm impressed but the 2nd 5 days I found really hard but I was ill so hard to know whether I would have found the diet easier if I had been up and about.
I've had chocolate today! Was not the plan but was in a big hole of despair about the diet. I'm still not well and now my daughter is ill so stuck in the house. It got to lunch time and I could not face anymore salad so I didnt have lunch. Probably not the best idea but the thought of more salad just seemed .... sad. I spent an agonising hour craving for a packet of milk chocolate digestive biscuits that are in the cupboard. I don't mean just one biscuit, I wanted the packet. I read more about the diet but I just felt so down about it. In the end I ate a small sample bar of Green & Black's 85% dark chocolate. It is the chocolate you are allowed further down the road in the diet but I decided that it was better for me to have that than to blow it altogether on the biscuits. I have to admit I enjoyed it but I can't say that all those biscuits have stopped calling me. I just need to be strong.
Still just introduced milk to our diet so far but just being able to have tea and coffee with milk is quite liberating and I'm going to have porridge with milk again in the morning. What the diet does teach you is how to appreciate food. I never thought I could have got so excited over a bit of milk. Think if things are fine on the milk then cheese will be the next thing to introduce as that will allow for quite a taste explosion in our meals.
Today's food
Bacon and scrambled eggs for breakfast (fat meal)
Skipped lunch
85% dark chocolate
Roast chicken dinner and various veg, followed by full fat natural yoghurt (fat meal)
Just working on the meal plans for the next few days. Planning a vegetable chilli one night, might even push the boat out and serve it with a jacket potato!
