End of March update

Weight; 12st 9lb


Total loss - 25lbs.


No loss for 2 weeks.

I am still not going up in weight but I have been feeling REALLY hungry for a few days now, nothing seems to satisfy me.  I can't figure out what I need, but I need something.  Chocolate probably and not the healthy dark kind :o)

For the most part the Dukan Diet has been relatively easy to stick to.  I don't miss pasta, rice and potatoes.  I don't even miss sugar that much, I just have sweetners or cinnaman instead.  But I've noticed this month that I'm starting to get a bit lazy and predictable.  When I first started, I was really happy to make lots of new recipes, especially sauces.   Now I just eat easy, simple and boring! 

Also, I haven't stuck to a few important rules.  I don't drink enough water, I hate water and I find it a struggle.  I have started having freshly squeezed lemon & lime in a pint of water.  That has helped.   I'm also eating things that I shouldn't be, like HONEY :)  Local, organic honey.  For health reasons and also because I'm not convinced that eating tons of sweetner is the way forward, despite Dr Dukan assuring us that it's safe.  There are many side effects, and I've been getting some!  So I'm cutting right back on Splenda and I've also bought a new sweetner based on the Sevia plant, which is natural.

So, in short, I am pleased that my weight has been going down, but I have a long way to go and I really need to start kicking this diets ass if I am to get to my goals.   It's time to get creative again and to start following the diet more closely again I think.....
