Day 70

I'm feeling very pre-menstrual today indeed, I was desperate for food from the moment I woke so I took the opportunity to have a little light lunch with the boyfriend. I poached some frozen broccoli and pollack in a little low-salt veggie stock and chucked in lots of parsley and some black pepper. It came out very well and we both really enjoyed it but I found myself feeling quite hungry not long after so I thought it was best to go out for the afternoon.

I ended up going to a friend's house to do some work on a creative project and hopefully take my mind off the hunger and it worked very well. I wasn't really hungry, just feeling under the weather I guess, eating can help me in these situations but I do find myself feeling tempted to eat more than I need to sometimes so I have to be careful. Once I was out of the house and distracted I did feel OK and my friend commented on how well I'm looking which always helps too. We had a constructive and pleasant afternoon, we got a good amount of work done and had a great natter too. On the way home, we popped into the supermarket to grab a few essentials and I realised that while I've been on SS+ and SS, the food I miss more than all others is actually fruit, especially a nice, crisp, juicy Braeburn apple. I miss them more than pizza, and for me, that's a pretty major thing.

This evening, I realised I haven't measured myself for a while so I measured my waist and it's down to 43ins now. It doesn't seem to be going down as fast as I'd hoped but I'm not losing weight first from the same places I put it on first. It's all still heading in the right direction though, so I mustn't grumble. I also tried on the trousers I bought a few weeks ago only to find that they are a bit on the loose side now. I wouldn't usually mind but they are high-waisted trousers and look quite odd on now. I'm tempted to try and dig out the receipt and take them back to the shop. I also tried on my mini-goal black jeans and apart from a bit of 'muffin-top', they fit me now. In a week or two they should fit me perfectly and I'm pretty excited about it. I'm off to have a rummage around for old receipts.
