Day 12

After only 3 hours sleep I hauled myself out of bed this morning and went to my doctor. I've seen a few different doctors at the practice and I don't get on very well with a couple of them but today's appointment went very well indeed. I got to see a friendly, helpful young doctor, not yet jaded by seeing thousands of people with colds, demanding medication. She signed my form straight away, congratulated me on taking action to lose weight and referred me for some physiotherapy on my poor old knee. She also offered me some drugs to help me lose weight if I wanted them but I politely declined and she seemed pleasantly surprised by that! As soon as I got home, I called my counsellor and after a quick discussion, we decided that I wouldn't change down to a lower calorie plan until after I see him on Thursday but seeing as my appetite has been diminished recently I'm actually looking forward to it.

I didn't have time for breakfast this morning but I did manage to chuck a veggie soup down my neck and I had a proper lunch when I got home from the doctors followed by a cappuccino sachet made up with warm water, it was lovely! I had a rather nice chicken and noodle dinner followed by an apple and tried to enjoy it a little more than usual, dinners like that are going to be getting scarce soon....
