Well, its 4 hours since I had my breakfast of yoghurt and oat bran, and 2 hours since I had my snack of seafood sticks. My stomach is rumbling so loudly! And pretty much all I've thought about all morning is what I am having for my lunch!! God its only day one, but I am determined.. instead of eating something I came on here to post to take my mind off it.
I dont know if you're the same, but I dont like telling people I'm on a diet, I prefer to keep it private and to myself. I think it may be because deep down I think at some point I'm going to fail, and if I tell people then they'll know I have failed too. Also, I dont like people juding what you are or aren't eating, 'ooh should you be eating that' etc etc.
I really feel this time like I wont fail on this diet. I am trying to be positive and optimistic.

Exercise wise, I already do a zumba class once a week, and I'm thinking of doing a second class when I can afford it. I try to go on the bike as much as possible, from now on at least a couple of times a week. I've found its the exercise that usually makes the difference with me, so hopefully if I do this diet and maintain the exercise it will make a difference quicker than normal.
The amount of times I have started a new diet doesnt even bear thinking about, its almost farcical, but each time I do I believe that will be the time it works and I get down to goal weight. I suppose I have to believe that, because the thought of spending the rest of my life being overweight is so depressing. Its depressing to think I have spent all of my 20's being overweight to varying degrees.
But you have to look forward not back.

UPDATE
Ok, so I have just come off my lunch... and the realisation of how hard this really is has well and truly sunk in.
I had 1 1/2 slices of ham, some cottage cheese and some prawns in low fat sauce. And whilst it was ok it was a bit bland and I cant imagine having this or something similar for lunch everyday! I need some recipes for more interesting lunches or I will go stir crazy at work. Also need ideas for snacks as seafood sticks will soon become un bearable.
Going shopping tonight so hopefully can get some more interesting things to eat. I cant believe I'm saying this after 2 meals, but I'm thinking ahead and its not looking too rosey haha!
