I’m feeling slightly content, not completely, but I’m still in a good zone.

Woke up this morning and had my 2 eggs scrambled with onion and mushrooms, and 4 rashers of bacon. Lunch, which I just finished, was 2.5c of cauliflower (I found yesterday that 2c didn’t satisfy me and I was quite famished by the time I had dinner), with some curried chicken.

Not sure what to do for dinner. Diresquirrel, who had been staying with me for several days was doing all the cooking. He’s gone as of this afternoon so I don’t have my “personal chef” anymore. I think I’ll just do a quick and simple stirfry.

Neris & India suggest purchasing certain supplements, but I haven’t done that yet and I’m not quite sure if I will. They recommend chromium (200mcg chromium polynicotinate), coenzyme Q10, vitamin C tablets and a multi-vitamin with no iron. I do take a multi-vitamin each day, mostly because due to my lactose intolerance I am not getting enough of the necessary nutrients for my bones through my regular eating habits.

I know it has only be a slightly more than 24 hours since I started this diet, but I am feeling a certain looseness around my waist, in my trousers.

I started this diet at 255lb,  standing at 5′5″. To not dishearten myself I should keep myself to only stepping onto the scales once a week. I think I shall do that on Sunday.
