Diet Diary 2.0 (eating my own fingers.....)

So first week down, and I am pleased to say that I have lost 4lb...woohooo and yaaaay me :) I am working hard to get back on track with what I had successfully adopted in 2012, but it sure isn't easy. thinking about it, I can only assume it is because my body has become bored of it...

when I started the diet last year, it was a new concept, I was excited by it (how sad is that, getting excited about starving myself :P). But as crazy as it sounds, it helped to drive me on and keep me focused on the goal. I was experimenting with new foods, new ways to eat and enjoy myself without running the risk of putting on the pounds. But then in 2013 I fell from the waggon and was loath to go back. Yeah I know, I said it here many times, how I had to get back into it, how I was determined to do it, but I was kidding myself really. Deep down I was content with where I was, I just didn't realise it.

But no more...ripping those jeans was definitely a sign, and one that cannot be ignored anymore...

So what I have been eating this week? Well, some things may surprise you, but my diet this week consisted of:

Breakfast - scones, cereal, toast with a little cheese
Lunch - soup, cereal, sandwiches
Dinner - baked potatoes, shepherds pie, pizza, McDonalds and Chinese (all in small amounts ofc :P)
Supper - Tea/coffee, a little toast maybe

LOL, eating junk food and still losing weight? well for now it all comes down to the amount I am eating...I can't eat as much as before, wasting my time, but the fundamental basic of my diet was always, I eat what I enjoy, but not to the extremes as I did before...I can't go cold turkey...a little of everything is what is required...a happy balance :)

As for "eating my own fingers"...this has nothing to do with being hungry. Actually is it funny...I was shopping at the weekend and I bought some new hand soap for the bathroom...and it is this that makes me want to eat my own fingers...cause it is chocolate orange scented...my goodness...it smells so much like a Terry's Chocolate Orange (other chocolate orange products are available :D) if you closed your eyes and smelt your hands you would swear they were covered in chocolate orange and want to take a bite....talk about being cruel to yourself...still...if I get hungry, I might just lick a finger or two....LOL...kidding ofc :D

Ignorance is not bliss

So....not sure what to write here anymore....what started of as a great challenge, a nice way to share with readers how to lose weight and still enjoy eating....turned into something completely different after Christmas....

but it's make or break time...something happened yesterday that has caused me to take notice of how things have changed....I split my jeans.....ROFL....yeah I know it's funny....but....nah, no butts (pun intended :P) just facts...it's time to do something before I get back to where I was which was not a very nice place....

So starting form Monday, The Diet Diary enters a new chapter...with more frequent updates, I plan to get moving, eating and losing to push myself back in the right direction and beyond...here goes nothing....
