Actually up at just gone 09.00 but waited until a parcel had arrived until I went and showered and then got ready for the day so by the time I got around to taking my tablets with a pint of water it was nearer 10.30, then had my mug of tea at around 11.00, around 12.15 I started to get peckish so heated through my soup. 13.15 poured a pint of sparkling water, another sparkling water poured at 14.00, 14.15 still slightly hungry so had my Yokebe, another water poured at 15.45 slight grumble in the tum area so trying water first before something to eat! Tried the water (and just poured another at 16.30) still feel as though I am hungry (it has been so long since I felt hungry that I needed to reassure myself that that was what I felt!), had the cheese and crackers at 16.40, okay a mug of tea at 19.00 as well as dinner. 21.00 supper and another tea.

DAY THREE

Key Theme: HOPE

TAKING MY TIME

Think back to a year ago, two years perhaps. Does it really seem that long ago now? If you have been suffering from the Feast or Famine Cycle, you may think, yes, it has been a long year. Waiting to lose weight or gaining it back has a way of dragging on and on and on, especially when it’s uncomfortable, even painful. But one or two years without the pain is not too big a price to pay to be cured of a lifetime of obesity. It is the best bargain around.

“We need some imaginative stimulus, some not impossible ideal such as may shape vague hope, and transform it into effective desire, to carry us year after year through the routine work which is so large a part of life.” Walter Pater
