Well hello again and it's good to be back on a positive note......I have been sticking to a calorie controlled diet for over a week now and I am managing to discipline myself.

Alex has been sitting her A Level exams and I felt as if Robert and I were also part of them - so I am so relieved that is over - results in August.

We decided to go to Pizza Express close to Barts Hospital for a meal together to celebrate this ending and I was so pleased that I saved 800 calories and could enjoy a proper meal. During the day I had a banana and 2 squares of chocolate - a total of 190 calories and then I had the special Pizza at c.500 calories with a tiny dessert and coffee - yum - that was absolutely lovely!

So having conquered the urge to eat, eat, eat I am having loads of green tea and water and I am counting everything - and guess what? I am so enjoying my food!

I can still have chocolate but it is dark and if I want my caramel shortcake at Cafe Nero then that is fine as long as I knock off around 350 - 400 calories and that is significant out of 1000 a day! So I sometimes just have a corner of Rob's cake.......now to up my exercise and keep going so that I can be slim once again and feel so good at last.
