So over the last 28 days, I have lost 9lbs. I think I can safely say it’s working!

In that time, I have not tracked any foodstuffs.

I have not changed my diet at all, other than to eat/drink things that are normally discouraged when trying to lose weight, and my exercise has not really increased, in fact because of a heavy cold, it’s been a lot less over the last couple of weeks.

The only difference is the quantities. My appetite has reduced remarkably. I get hungry quickly, but I’m quickly satisfied too. If I exercise, I eat more. A simple thing, but I’ve not noticed it working before. If I eat too much one day, I want less the next.

I haven’t been feeling deprived. I haven’t had any cravings. I haven’t been hungry much between meals, if I do I eat again.

It all sounds very easy. If you stick to the rules it is easy. It feels natural now to switch everything off when I’m eating, and to eat slowly, but I still have trouble concentrating on the food.

I’m off on holiday, on a cruise for a couple of weeks. It shouldn’t make any difference. I don’t have to ‘resist temptation’! I can allow myself full rein, as long as I eat when I’m hungry, and stop when I’m satisfied. That’s the difficult one!
