Hi all

Well almost the end of July and the summer is yet to arrive properly in the UK - we can keep hoping - although it is warmer this week. Well life is often about resisting temptations even with food - it feels good when I can sit in a cafe with friends or family and whilst they eat I am content with a low cal bar or just a coffee - well I don't always do that but I am finding it easier now to do it!

The reason I have to count calories is that I have no willpower (or am too much of a free spirit) to stick rigidly to someone else's diet - this way I please myself how I do it.....and I ring the changes.

Today I enjoyed boiled eggs and salmon for breakfast - then enjoyed a coffee with milk mid morning. At lunch time I enjoyed a chicken wrap (381 cals) in Wetherspoons and later I will have some cous cous and veg.

This is all good and I am getting stronger as people comment on how I am looking good and losing weight. Now I still am not weighing myself because until I get a lot slimmer I am far too heavy and find that bit depressing. I have bought some size 14 clothes for our holiday - and have 4 weeks to fit properly into them! So here goes.......see you again soon.......

Another week has passed and today is the 1st July - can't believe it!

Well I am so pleased to have been able to break a few habits this week and pass on the large amounts of 'goodies' (well baddies really) I would normally consume.

I have stuck to 1000 calories most days and on the days I have gone over my maximum has been 1200 which should still guarantee weight loss.

Lovely to see so many nice clothes in the shops for summer - but would rather not buy many at this size - so depressing even to try clothes on in front of those large mirrors......so nothing else for it but to keep counting - see ya later when I am slimmer!
