I am due to go to work tonight in the pub and I have just fed the kids and myself pancakes it feels significant that tomorrow is the beginning of lent I feel asthough I am about to start 40 days and nights in the wilderness. The trouble is my journey is going to take longer than that. Most people give up chocolate or crisps for lent I am giving up food. Th more I think about what I am doing the harder I realise it is going to be, so far I havent been able to cope with the hunger of just not eating snacks between meals ( though I havent had any snacks for quite a few days now ) I think just the fact that I will have spent £66 for the week will make sure that I stick to the diet.
I have been reading another blog on here of another woman doing the diet and she has been on it for just over 2 weeks and is doing really well so that is giving me motivation.
Anyone reading this will think that I am mad going on and on about not being able to cope when I havent even started the diet yet, but I know that I am really determined that this will work and yet know how hard it is going to be and at the moment it is my all consuming thought.

i think this is great! i started a diet two weeks ago, thanks to the suggestion of another blogger and you know what? all you need is that image of yourself happy and healthy in your mind. you know that chocolate hits are short lived, but just visualising yourself slim and happy and walking into a room of your friends and all their jaws dropping makes you carry on. the first three days are hard, but after that, you begin to sail through. ive lost 5 pounds now, and people are already starting to notice...that helps you to carry on too. but the secret is not to feel like you are on a diet. the word diet has a negative connotation, whilst the phrase healthy eating plan is better. and also, letting your friends help you too is crucial. make them aware that you are really trying hard and need their help to keep you on the straight and narrow.
you can do this...you know that you can look and feel better, and your body will reward you with georgous skin, nails and hair.
DONT GIVE UP! xxxx
