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
