Hmmm, how interesting...

I got some new scales and I have had to go metric. Put on a kilo this week but lost 3cms from my waist and hips and 1.5 from my knees lol. The down side is my favourite jeans are getting baggy!!!
After my little mental wobble last week I am feeling much better. Strangely I have been making dresses (I rarely wear dresses) and winter is on its way so I may never wear them. But I had the fabric lying around for years and suddenly I have developed an interest in clothes and my appearance.
Had to go food shopping today and I made the mistake of going there hungry. After I got the things on my list I browsed the cakes, then the sweets because I was craving something sweet and fattening. But to my great surprise when I read the packets and saw how many calories there were I put each item back on the shelf and went and bought some 'Nature Valley' trail bars! I ate one in the car on the way home and felt much better. How odd. Usually I would have eaten an eclair or some of those yummy double chocolate cookies but no, the idea of eating them did not appeal at all!
Instead I ate a punnet of blueberries. And because its a food day I am having pizza for dinner. A whole pizza! 750 calories because otherwise I won't eat enough calories today. I think I am going to enjoy every single bite!
Fast day yesterday was very easy and I only managed to eat 345 calories. I am stunned at how well this 'diet' suits me and how much I am enjoying the food I do eat. Never would have thought I could be like this and have realised how what I thought was a healthy diet actually wasn't. It's been a real eye opener x
