Thanks Toots, I love your behindGosh, don't you just wish your bum looked like that (actually it may well be your bum in which case lucky you, but don't lose that 14lbs!!)? Mine certainly doesn't. It's not aided at the moment by a great big lumpy mosquito bite on it

Oh, oh, oh, I'm soooooo excited. I just remembered I can have a cup o' Bouillon which is knocking around in the pantry somewhere. Mmmmm, lovely vegetable stockxx
Sometimes I wonder if you can ever really re-train your brain to prefer mung beans and wheatgrass juice over pizza and maltesers
Oh and water consumption way down today due to being in car and in interview most of day. Very poor effort.
Boo had rice for dinner last night. I felt momentarily sorry for myself.
Hmmmm, not good, I keep having the chocolate shakes. Just had one for brekkie. I thought I'd go wild and put about half the amount of water in and have it all thick and lumpy (and eat it on my own with a spoon). I've remembered exactly what it reminds me of - chocolate Angel Delight.
Getting ever so slightly bored of my meal options but on the plus side not thinking all the time about how I'm on a diet. I'm already worrying about my Thursday am weigh-in as I don't feel like I've lost anything but must remember that I'm odd and always lose more in second week. Having said that, despite grotesque stomach, seem to look a bit thinner round my collarbone area, or perhaps my imagination.
Boo has had tinned chilli and tinned hot dogs this week and is now about to get a tin of spaghetti. I might have to swallow my food envy and take over his cooking before he gives himself scurvy! I'm making him muffins on Wednesday night for him to take to work on Thursday and that may well test my sanity! Having said that, I have no more urges for Bernard Matthews chicken breast slices. Might grab a Coke Zero in a mo.
I am probably going to stay at home by myself (with no car) next weekend as I just can not be arsed to go back to Suffolk with Boo with everyone drinking (lots) and eating. It can be a lonely life on a VLCD sometimes
I know it's worth the effort and I won't miss the hangovers but I do worry about not being very "fun", esp when my boyfriend's idea of a good night out is getting plastered and passing out somewhere.
Oh and another thing. I'm very naughty and have had a fag the last two nights, a few weeks after I'd managed to kick it. I have never smoked much - a "social smoker" - however I had been smoking more since January when I had a period of stress. It's just some stupid thing in my head that says "go on, you can't eat or drink, may as well have a ciggie!!". Badness.
:giggle:At least he's willing to "cook" his own food, bless him!!
I know that sometimes this can seemwhen missing out on social occassions but if you stick to it you will get to goal quicker
Do you like coffee? If so the strawberry is quite nice with some coffee - kinda like a strawberry latte
You're doing so so well - hang in there

Aw, thanks Toots (I love the name, do you remember the film about the transsexual??). Coffee and strawberry sounds erm, interesting, but I'm willing to give it a go in the name of experimentation. I have recently come round to "real" coffee but tend to have it with loads of milk and a sugar!
I am willing to forgo some social occasions (I did the first time) and he did, bless him, remain more sober last night but it was only the two of us going out. He has been more supportive of this diet than previous boyfriend and more thoughtful. Having said that I don't think he actually likes me doing VLCD but he respects my decision (at least he actually notices what I'm doing!!). It's just unfortunate that he drinks so much but then I'm sure that this is a problem couples have had since the dawn of time...
We're off to the zoo todayx
Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie? Yup I remember it (so showing my age) - oh and am deffo a female & always have been :giggle:
. All the chefs are thin, how does that even happen....? Never trust a thin chef I reckon. x
