<p><span style=”font-size: 0.8em;”>Diet update!</span></p>

<p><span style=”font-size: 0.8em;”>Seven weeks in and I’ve lost well over two stone.&nbsp; Actually, it’s nearer three on my scales; first thing in the morning, with dry hair and no clothes on.&nbsp; On one leg.</span></p>

<p><span style=”font-size: 0.8em;”>I still feel just FANTASTIC.&nbsp; The diet is easy, incredibly uncomplicated, I’m sleeping really well (and waking up much more easily) and I have bags of energy.</span></p>

<p><span style=”font-size: 0.8em;”>Six whole weeks without a glass of wine - SIX WHOLE WEEKS!&nbsp; I treat myself to sparkling water in the evenings for a change - Steve’s buying me Pelligrino as it’s the Rolls Royce of sparkling water apparently!&nbsp; And I’m getting through the green tea (organic from M&amp;S) like there is no tomorrow.</span></p>

<p><span style=”font-size: 0.8em;”>I’m still enjoying the group work, particularly the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy bits and as for shopping, I have discovered a whole new lease of life……&nbsp; but it’s not all a bed of roses…..</span></p>

<p></p>


<p><span face=”Verdana”>They told us that it wouldn’t be the weight loss that would be tough.&nbsp; Just stick to the programme and the weight loss would take care of itself.&nbsp; And it is.&nbsp; </span></p>

<p><span face=”Verdana”>It’s the meaning you attach to food that’s the problem.</span> </p>

<p><span face=”Verdana”>Sticking to the diet means that you have to deal with the stuff that comes up in your head, the chatterbox, the critical parent, the rebellious child and for me, the neverending tediousnous of it all.</span> </p>

<p><span face=”Verdana”>I’m proud to say that I have not deviated from this programme once.&nbsp; I have amazed myself.&nbsp; There have been moments but deep in my heart, I’ve known that I’m not going to crack.&nbsp; Interestingly, going to stay in hotels and hanging around with people eating and drinking is fine.</span> </p>

<p><span face=”Verdana”>But the boredom is the worst bit.&nbsp; I’m all right mid week but Friday nights and the weekend are quite painful.&nbsp; And it’s hard to come home after a successful Open Day, or a 3 day workshop and not celebrate in come way.</span> </p>

<p><span face=”Verdana”>Because good food and wine have come to mean &quot;treats&quot;, &quot;wind-down&quot;, &quot;celebrations&quot; and &quot;company&quot; to me.</span> </p>

<p><span face=”Verdana”>And I lost my sense of &quot;enough&quot; because you can never have enough &quot;treats&quot; or &quot;celebrations&quot; and &quot;company&quot; can you?</span></p>

    2. Nicola’s Diet Update

    Just thought I would update you all on my diet - particularly the people who have been predicting that I will die in my bed of some horrible fit………..sorry guys, you have your facts wrong. Myth No 1: Very Low

    3. About the boredom part:
    With the diet working well, you probably don’t want to change anything, but, just FYI, when you want to deal with the boredom of just wanting to snack, but not being able to, you can look for something that’s either very, very low cal or near-zero calories. I usually chew gum or drink diet pop.

Tell me what you're thinking...
