Day 2

In work nice and early for our weekly huddle which usually ends up being a session where we chat and eat breakfast. My director was envious of my smoked salmon and cream cheese on toast and I must agree it looked a whole lot more interesting than his cereal. A hectic start to the day and meetings back to back over lunch time meant I had to plan ahead. Eating my pineapple and strawberry fruit pieces in the taxi on the way to my first meeting led to a mini disaster, where I ended up with pineapple and strawberry juice down my cream dress! Not the best, but luckily my first meeting was with a friendly client and we just laughed it off and talked about the lengths you need to go to in order to drop a dress size. She had her best friend’s wedding coming up and had this crazy 3 day diet where you could lose 4kgs. She emailed it to me and it as much as half a boiled egg on dry toast for lunch may appeal to some, I can definitely say that I will not be trying this. It’s great to think that there are quick fixes out there; hey I’ve tried most of them. Can’t say that it ever really did me any good long term though - guaranteed once I started eating ‘normally’ again, I would also pile the pounds on quicker than I had lost them plus an extra one or two on top.

En route to my second meeting, I ended up in a very fancy lift that reminded me of the fun fairs with the freaky hall of mirrors. Looking straight ahead I was met with a huge monster - I would say my reflection had easily added 3-4 stone to me, but, looking to my left and right I looked awesome. A slim line size 10-12 and looking fab! I really have no perception of how I really look and these mirror images really showed the 2 ends of the spectrum for me. What will be if I don’t turn a corner but even better how amazing I am going to look when I have reached my goal!


I am planning on heading out to meet a few friends this evening and it is going to be my first challenge to see whether I can stay off the booze. I am a firm believer in everything in moderation, but I think at this early stage I need to give my body a break from the binge drinking. I’m am going to have to lay down the law with my mates, making it clear not to make this any harder for me than it needs to be - no pressurizing me please pals!
