Week 6 - 22 pounds so far.

Well after 6 weeks it is going well. I have learnt the art of making healthy choices when eating out, while still feeling that I've had a treat. I've not been tempted to have any binges or finish the girls dinners.

Although my clothes are looser, and my face is thinned out a bit, I don't look any different. After 22 pounds, I thought I would notice some dramatic difference but I haven't, other than feeling thinner. I am learning to cope with 1 less point a day, and so far it hasn't made any real difference.

I have also won some WW books from Ebay as I am constantly looking out for new recipes, before I get bored of the ones I have.

Ups and downs

Well I managed my first restaurant visit and stayed within my points allowance, without starving myself during the day. It was a chinese and I opted for mussels and then a chicken chow mein, I even managed not to pinch any of everyone elses, despite them trying to shove spring rolls and barbecued spare ribs in my face.

I stayed within my allowance every day and saved points for my vodkas on the Saturday, so was gutted not to lose any weight on the Monday. I have re-checked my diary for every day, didn't cheat, and didn't put anything in my mouth that was not accounted for. The only thing I think it could be is that I had been clogged for a few days up to my weigh-in, so hoping my fibre capsules will get me back on track.
