Thoughts and Feelings

* Today was always likely to be difficult given that this is the first weekend on the new regime, meaning the first day without the rigid structure of the working day.

* On the whole, I am pleased. A bigger lunch meant a smaller dinner, which I was happy to do. It never even occurred to me to eat something unhealthy, in fact quite the opposite as I pondered a choice of the soup or a plate of vegetables. I debated the number of slices of bread but in the end decided the trade off of additional carbs versus needing to be full was a reasonable choice under the circumstances. I had an element of guilt over the coke refills but I think some sugar during a day at the theme park is understandable.

* Anxiety - despite my misgivings yesterday, I always knew today would be fine. Anxiety causes me to project and procrastinate but I am fully aware that the reality very rarely turns out like the fear. It was fun, we all enjoyed it. I had a few moments of quick temper and also saw my anxiety highlighted in decision making but overall it was a good day.

* Declines - packet of crisps, unfinished sandwich, unfinished sweet.

* Received some excellent and supportive advice today which I will look to implement next week, after the weekly shop is completed. Far from being frustrated or down about this regime, so far I am excited.

* Weigh in on Monday, not before, despite the temptation this morning.
