Well, it's been ages since I posted last and I've achieved one of my goals. My marker for success was going to be whether I got into a certain pair of trousers. I managed that about a month ago. I was terribly nervous about trying them and then getting all depressed if they didn't fit, but they did.
The bad news is that I'm supposed to keep up the eating plan for 80% of the time. Yeah, right! I'm pretty bad at keeping to it, but I think the basics are there like not eating carbohydrate without protein, and I'm pretty sure I get my five a day most days, but I'm cheating so often. I've told myself it's ok to eat chocolate again. Well, it may be true that I don't come out in a rash straight away, but it still happens a day or so after. And certain days the sugar cravings are debilitating. One thing I have noticed is that if I eat anything with sugar in it in the evenings I get the odd numbness in my hand that used to worry me so much. Ok so now I know what to do, or rather what not to do, about it, but it is baffling.
I'm also pretty sure that my mood swings are partly down to not eating well enough, as well as environmental factors such as my relationship with a certain member of my family.
Well I know what to do, I just need to do it:-)
