Worked last night in the pub and today I have been exhusted. Spent most of the day obsessing about food, I kept thinking how on earth am I going to cope when I cant eat anything solid, but I am determined. I am going to make this work. I can hear my husband in the kitchen making himself a bowl of cereal after he has already had a curry I made for tea. At least he didnt ask me if I wanted anything.
Due to start the diet on Tuesday and actually I am desperate for the day to come, I really feel that I need to and want to get on with it.
Andy wants to book a holiday but I said that I cant think about going away and not being able to eat at the moment I may be able to once I am up and running but I have asked him to hold off booking anything for a little while. Andy has been really understanding about all this I didnt think he would be this supportive and I really do appreciate all the help he is giving to me.
I am having trouble getting onto the computer to write this blog as my 10 year old daughter spends her entire time on MSN and I have to fight to get her off.
I have been practising drinking the required 8 pints of water a day and am finding this quite difficult, mostly it is remembering to do it. I was out in the town today , to open Bronte a bank account up, and I didnt manage to drink whilst I was out, I need to make sure I always take some water out with me or I am really going to struggle with the water.
I have asked Andy to take regular photos of me to see if I can see a difference in myself, he did say for me not to get my hopes up which I did find disheartening.
I have been to see my doctor which I had to do before embarking on this diet and she was really supportive about the diet and said that she knew others that had done it and been successful and she fully backed my decision to give it a go. She did say that I have to be careful when I stop the programme and go back to ordinary food, but I will have to cross that bridge when I come to it. One thing at a time. One thing which was a bit depressing though was the doctor weighed me and I weighed a stone more than I thought I did but I cant think about what I weigh I just have to concentrate on what I am losing.

Hi Emma :-)
I know what you mean about just wanting to get on with it! ~ I waited 6 weeks before there was a place for me on the programme and that was very frustrating.
The water is easy enough when you break it down into half litre slots, I use a 75cl bottle and drink 6 throughout the day. On week 2 you will get flavourings which make it so much more palatable.
As for going on your hols, book it! you will be able to take the packs wherever you go and it will give you that extra incentive to follow the plan to the letter :-D
I wish you all the luck in the world on Tuesday ~ (that is when my group meets too)but you won't need luck as you will have many other people for support ~ including me!!
*Hugs*
