Day 4- I'm good!

Good evening!

I'm very positive today, have managed to sit and watch my friend eat my favourite panini and went for a drink at the Students Union with my friends who all had snakebite. Not me, a pint of water was my tipple of choice. I really wish I could have diet coke, I miss that more than the food itself, but I know it always makes me hungry so best to avoid it completely.

My new CDC is coming over tomorrow morning to give me a weeks supply of foodpacks- I'm having 1 bar, at least 1 tetra and 1 shake/soup, so I know I will enjoy 2 of the 3 (im not sure how the shakes will work for me yet but I know I will like the bars and tetras.) So looking forward to being able to enjoy the packs instead of dreading them.

On a more negative note, have been really struggling the past 2 days to get my 4 packs and 4l of water in. I have been so busy I haven't had time to drink as much as I would have liked, although I have still drunk the 2l that is supposed to be the amount your body should ideally have a day. The sachets are so vile I think for the sake of missing out on vits and mins for a few days it is better to avoid the sachets I can't stand and not vomit!! That would do more harm than good. Obv I couldn't do this long-term but I dont have the option to swap (as my counsellor is the other side of the county and I can only get to her at weekends when I go back to stay with my parents), so it seems to be my only option. Despite not having all my foodpacks, I feel amazingly good and have not struggled with actual hunger- only a bit of mental desire to eat. Started bars today and glad! It tasted so good compared with to the sachets, I actually let my OH try some :-)

Anyhow, sorry for the long post. I'm sure my belly feels a bit smaller.. hope I have lost a good amount this week. Got my stop-in tomorrow evening so will have an idea of what the total will be this week then.

Will let you know how it goes,
