Up 0.1kg today. I went out for a walk last night. I did a leisurely 2km, soI am a bit disappointed that I am up, but I suppose thats the way it goes. I am going out for a family dinner today, but we will be eating early. If I don’t lose 0.2kgs or more before tomorrow this could be my first negative week!

For me, I find it far easier to concentrate on improved energy, good moods and the positive things that losing weight can offer. For example, you said that you have a family dinner coming up. There’s nothing which says that you have to overdo it. Coming from a large family myself (they love to prepare lots of tasty food) it’s hard to be trying to lose weight – I have started on a new lifestyle after finding a great ebook at http://www.click2loseweight.com and it’s helping me to break my food bondage – ‘ cause I loved to eat. You may want to try my tactics, get a salad plate and go around and pick and choose all the healthy things and pile your “small” plate with them. Coldslaw, toss salad, fish, chicken or meat, one spoon of rice or one bake potato and noone will be able to tease you about not eating. Eat very slowly, you will also trick yourself into believing that you are eating up a storm. Afterwards, for dessert eat a big bowl of fruit and finish off with a large glass of lemonade or tonic water with lots of ice and you’ll get through it without any guilt and you may be able to stay on track and not fall off the wagon. Come back and keep us posted.
