Are some changes visible already?



TMM says, "Yes." I don't see how they could be yet. Eighteen and a half stone down to seventeen isn't that big a difference. But he says he can see it in my face and waist.  Well, it's very encouraging anyway. And the thought of bodily changes and dropping a couple more pounds this week helped keep me motivated after TMM cooked a bolognese for dinner last night. He shredded carrots for me as a lighter option than the linguine that he had. I had enough calories to allow myself some Parmesan cheese. I was very well behaved, weighing 40g as I grated it, so I knew exactly what I was consuming.  And I really enjoyed it. Totally guilt free. 

It was a guilt free kinda day. Later, I had chai tea. The cinnamon flavour seems vaguely sweet and I didn't miss having some chocolate,  even though there in 100g of gorgeous Green & Blacks in the cupboard. I feel so virtuous.  A veritable saint, I tells ya! I even drew me with a halo :-) (I'm also up for canonization because I have thus far resisted the lure of a mid week weigh in.) 

I'm looking forward to going out for coffee with my cousin after work today. I have to decide if I'm going to have something to eat while we're out. It's so much harder to remain in control while eating out, but it's part of life, so I need to be able to deal with it. I think I'll bring some chicken to work, and a couple of apples to stave off the worst of the hunger, then see how I feel. I can always have soup afterwards. TMM thinks I'm a soup queen at the moment. He might be right. I think I'm going to turn in to a pot of soup!
