It's started...

So, here we are, a new year and a new start. Yesterday the "diet" began in earnest. Two days in and I am already starving.

There's something about being on a diet that makes my awkward brain feel really hungry all the time. It's silly really, because even after I've eaten I still feel hungry even though I can't possibly be. I guess it's that feeling of depriving myself even though I ate enough crap over Christmas that I can't possibly have any more need for chocolate.

My biggest problem is the evenings when me and Mr M sit in front of the telly and scoff chocolate. Last night I decided to have a low fat hot chocolate instead...only to find they were months out of date. Rubbish. So tonight, I've been to Tesco and bought some more. Hopefully they will keep me on the right path when the evening choc cravings start.

First weigh in will be next Monday and I am excited about it. A good weight loss in the first week will really spur me on so here's hoping (although luck really has nothing to do with it).

The last two days I have been really disciplined. I'm pleased about this and have a good, positive feeling about things. Let's hope this positivity continues! I want at least 7lb gone by the time I go on holiday in just over 3 weeks...
