Am glad to report that I have made it to day five and I haven't cheated once. I haven't even nearly cheated.

I feel determined and focused. Nothing is going to stop me loosing this weight. Nothing.

The last two days have been SOOOOO much better than days 1 & 2D

I finally feel normal again. I don't feel sick anymore and actually feel happier than I have felt in a long time.

I can feel the weight coming off me by the day. My clothes already feel looser and my tummy is not quite as round!! My hubby has lost nearly 10lbs already in just 4 days...quite amazing!

Also I have been able to put my engagement ring back on my finger which I have not been able to wear for over a year now. Its a great feeling and shows my fingers are getting thinner!

The milkshakes and soup packs are starting to taste a bit better... kind of.

We are having one meal a day.. 3oz of cooked chicken or fish and unlimited veg off the list (things like cabbage, celery, cauliflower, broccoli etc)and I really look forward to having my evening meal.

I don't really miss other food but when I walk past a bakery or see adverts for tempting food my mouth does start to water. I just remind myself that it's not forever and that I CAN DO THIS!

Another tough day on my weightloss journey.

Think I am officially having carbohydrate withdrawal symptoms. Feel really cold, tired and nauseaus. Was awake a lot of the night... first with trips to the loo, then kept thinking i could hear things! Didn't know audio hallucinations came free with the diet. Feel like I'm on a bad trip! The foodpacks are revolting and make me feel sick. If I was not doing this for a REALLY good reason... i would have given in today. Keep telling myself to keep my eyes on the prize (cheesy I know...but keeps me focused!)

Am so pleased my gorgeous hubby is doing this diet too it just about keeps me sane knowing that we are doing it together.

I have bought a truck load of breath freshner spray today to take the taste of the foodpacks away. It works... for a while. Also managed to drink 4 litres of water by about 4pm today so hopefully won't be up all night again.

I keep telling myself IT WILL GET EASIER. I hope I'm right!

Oh my God!
I'm only on day one and this is soooo hard!
The foodpacks are just about palatable at best, and completly revolting at worst. Avoid the banana shakes eeuughhh!!

I am soo FULL.... but of water not food. Never thought I would struggle to drink loads of water but I really am struggling. 4 litres a day is a lot and the foodpacks are in addition to the 4 litres.

Don't know how I'm gonna stick to this... but i have no choice. This is last chance saloon for me!

Getting ready to start diet on Monday 24th March. Am trying not to pig out tooo much in the next few days .... don't wanna go into carb withdrawal when I start on the W8 foodpacks.
Looking forward to getting started though. Am excited at the thought of being thin(ish) again! Bit worried too. Hope I have the self disipline to stick to it. Hope it doesn't make me feel too crappy in first few days.

I have to do this though. It is the only way we will get the IVF treatment we need to have a baby. I need to loose 24lbs in total over the next 2 months.
