Day 2

After finding yesterday relatively easy, it was a pleasant surprise this morning to discover that I had lost 1.5lb already. Now weighing in at 15 st 10.5lb. Could not believe it, in previous diets that could be a full weeks weight loss. I'm not naive enough to think that that size of weight loss will continue but as a start I am loving it. I was hoping for a 1lb a day during phase 1, so running ahead at the minute.

Spent a couple of hours at the hospital with my poorly daughter during last night, so was feeling pretty rubbish this morning. In the past I would have used this as an excuse to spend the day drinking coffee and eating biscuits and cakes but I was determined I wasn't going to do that this time. I've stuck to it again and finding that I don't need such big portions even though I'm not hungry between meals. I had 2 scrambled eggs for breakfast at about 9am and had 1.30 had lunch because I thought I should.

It is still hard not to just put things into your mouth, a couple times today I nearly had a crisp or a bit of biscuit. It was done without any thought and I just stopped at the last minute. It will be a hard habit to break.

I've had headache today but not sure if that was down to lack of sleep or withdrawal symptoms but either way it has gone now and day 2 is completed without any problems.

Here is to day 3 - bring it on
