Diet - once again

Dear Diary,

My god, this is incredible. For the first time in my life, I am on a diet - AND I HAVE STUCK WITH IT FOR 3 DAYS. This in UNBELIEVABLE!! I normally NEVER see anything through, being such a criminally lazy person. But something must've kick-started me this time - maybe the prospect of potentially seeing David again, maybe I've just reached breaking point. Maybe I'm just so bored of being overweight, at this point, I'm willing to try anything.

Started it on Monday with Mum - who isn't following the same detox one I'm doing, but just eating very healthily and doing exercise. Naturally faced a lot of backlash off Marie and her mum, but fuck it, it's only for a week, and even if it DOES work...... well let's just say I'm not likely to DIE if I lose a stone in 7 days! In fact, I could do with it.

Day 1 (Monday) consisted of eating nothing but homemade vegetable soup (which I'm fiercely proud of), fruit and lots of water. Incredibly boring. I was climbing the walls by 4pm.
Day 2 (Tuesday) was the same, except you can't eat fruit, but instead you get to eat lots of fresh or cooked vegetables (hurray....!) as well. Oooh, and you can reward yourself with a jacket potato and butter for tea. Have never enjoyed a jacket so much in my LIFE.

Helped by going to Belly Dancing, walking to the class and back, and only drinking Orange juice when I went to the Pub Quiz with Anne. I'm getting goooooooood! (On a side note, the fact that I DIDN'T buy copious amounts of alcohol to get me through seeing her with her new boyfriend is, I think, an enormous testement to my willpower. As for him, he was lovely, sweet, good-looking and funny. I'm seriously going to hang myself)

So now I'm on Day 3 which looks to be just as boring as Monday - I get to COMBINE, which just means fruit, soup, AND vegetables, but no jacket (*sniffle*). Tomorrow looks to be even worse. But at least there's Days 5 and 6 - which I'm REALLY looking forward to. You'll soon see why......

I know I sound like one of those really boring people who talk about their diet all the time. And the truth is..... I am. At least for this week. But what people don't seem to realise is that by talking, joking, and bitching about it, I can at least cope with it better. Besides, when you look at the effects, I really don't care how annoying I sound.

THE EFFECTS:

• I'm not hungry all the time anymore
• I feel slightly more energised than usual
• I can go longer between meals
• I haven't had a single snack or dessert

And best of all - I've already lost FOUR POUNDS. That's almost a bag of sugar!! See, I might as well tell you the truth, being my diary and all - I started off at 14 stone 11 pounds, my Body Fat percent was 41.8% and my Body Mass Index was 34.5. But I've just weighed myself today, I'm now 14 stone 7 pounds, my Body Fat percent is 32.8% and my BMI is 28.5. And that's after only 3 days. This is BRILLIANT!! Why have I never done this before??

The tricky part will be at work tonight, where I usually always get some crisps on the shift, or eat something when I get home. Eeeep.
