Start of week three

Today is the start of week 3, and I am delighted that I am still hanging in there. I see my pattern is to give up around now, but I have no inclination to do that at all. I feel very focused, and am seeing it as a way of eating, a way of life.

I need to see the reward is in not eating the food that causes me problems. To chose food that makes me feel better, rather than food that punishes me.

I feel light in my body.....I think that the bloating is gone as I've had no salt. This week at the gym, I lost an additional 4 oz, so I stabilised after losing 6lbs initially. Normal, according to the ladies who know at the gym. In previous weight loss attempts, I would have felt disillusioned, and possibly given up. Also in going to the gym, the appeal is that it is so quick and not too taxing on the body. Short but intense, and so maneagable.

I feel more inclined to walk those few extra steps, and kick a ball with the boys too. Lots of positives.....

Looking foreward to breakfast in the morning. Porridge again, sprinkled with oat bran and some All-Bran. This gives it some sweetness and a lovely crunchy taste in contrast to the creamy hot porridge. Yum......
