The Jitters!

My boyfriend is going away for the weekend so I'm planning to start my diet then. I just get the feeling that it'll be easier to go through those first few tricky days one my own without having to watch anyone eating proper real food that I can't have. I know it's a few days away but I'm already starting to get the nervous jitters. I know I'll be fine really, I managed to quit smoking cold turkey a couple of years ago so if I can do that, I can probably do most things

Yesterday I spoke to my counsellor for the first time. We had a little chat over the phone and he seems really pleasant, friendly and understanding. I'm lucky enough to live in an area where I have a choice of local counsellors and I agonised and procrastinated about picking one and getting in touch but after our brief natter I already feel like I chose the right one. He seems so nice and he explained things very clearly, I'm really looking forward to meeting him, even though he's going to weigh me. I don't really want to know how much I weigh, I wonder if I can ask him to not tell me how much I actually weigh, perhaps he could just tell me how much weight I've lost at each weigh in.......

Anyway, my counsellor is coming over to see me tomorrow with loads of sachets. I've asked for some of each of everything (except banana, I bloody HATE bananas!) so I can find out what I like. I think it's a shame there are so many sweet flavours but so few savoury. It's not that I don't have a sweet tooth but I'm just not used to having sweet things everyday.
