Well Saturday morning i met with my Cambridge diet counsillor. She's very strict, a bit like an army officer. I'm not sure that i'm going to get on with her, so i may end up swopping... She rather rushed through all the "choices", and i felt a bit railroaded...

In the afternoon i went to a work do, and i ate sausages, pasta salad, jacket potatoes and had a woodpecker. In the evening i came home and made a spaghetti dish, and this will be the last food i eat for a while.

Sunday i started the diet. I had a butterscotch flavoured shake, which i did not like at all. The smell, coupled with the taste, made me want to heave. Then i had a chocolate tetra pack (a ready made shake) which was not that nice either, but at least when i drink it from the pack in a straw i can't smell it.

In the evening i had a chicken and mushroom which was ok - i'm just not the keen on mushroom flavourings...

This morning i had a vanilla shake which was pretty nice (thank goodness!). My main problem is drinking them fast enough. I'm a really slow eater at the best of times, oh well.

The best part is that i checked the scales this morning, and according to mine i have lost 3lbs in one day. I know that the first week i will lose a lot, so i'm calculating that i will lose 4lbs a week and i could be slim by next March. I know that i'm going to eat properly for christmas dinner. I don't care how much of a dragon my cdc is, that has to be done. I only hope i can sticj to it for that long. I'm hoping that good weightlosses will spur me on. Of course, the less i weigh, the easier i should find exercise, so even if i can't stick to it, a healthier lifestyle is better anyway...

I'm pretty hungry and i am craving a jacket potato with just a sliver of butter on it...

I guess after a month i will also see how much it costs me in real terms as it is not cheap (but cheaper than LL) My councillor is also over the way in aldridge which is ok on a Saturday, but a bit far on a week night. It would be ok, but i have to think about feeding Charlie!

It's hard for me to write this, but i am so embarassed and ashamed of my weight

I need to start looking around for a new mortgage as the discount rate on mine runs out in December.

Oh god - there are samosas at work. I LOVE them - the smell is driving me crazy.
