Day 5
Another good day - i cant believe it , but i seem to be dropping 2 or 3 pounds a day. I dont know if i believe what i am seeing - or if i will be sorely dissapointed if the pharmacy's scales are very different than mine on Monday.
Perhaps the big loss is because of my lymphoedema - I'm not sure - but i like it!
My hubby has been great all week. He's done all the cooking for him and the twins - what a star.
But yesterday he sat in front of me with fish and chips - which smelt wonderful. My resolve stayed firm though. I think he is testing me. After he'd finished he came over to me and grinned, kissed me and said how well i am doing. I know how much he loves me which is important, and although he has never commented on my weight gain, i think he worries about my health - particularly after i was turned down for life insurance earlier this year - which was a wake up call for both of us.

Normally i am frightened by failure. Now i know i have a shed load of weight to shift - but know i NEED others support, Hence the blog and message board. One day at a time, lots of reflection on whats working and where i want to be. Every day i am making a choice to continue with this diet...one day at a time. Hopefully the days will become weeks and then the weeks will become months VOILA! It sounds so easy on paper doesnt it..
