Thank you Kim!

My confidence is indeed rising but I need to keep at it or else become complacent! And I don't want that!
So, I have a plan...

everyone runs and hides because Shelley ALWAYS has a plan

But really, it has been great not wanting to eat very much and seeing this initial loss but now that my appetite appears to be back to normal, here come the munchies...so it's time to put a stop to that before the scales creep too far in the WRONG direction again.
I really want to work on portion control and being able to recognise the correct portions without calorie counting. Because calorie counting is extremely tedious and time consuming

and the simpler the plan, the better to stick to. So it's time to look at fresher alternatives, have an organised life so I don't become lazy and not make fresh meals etc. A lot more fruit and vege and salads but yummy foods that I like to eat, just healthy ones!
So that is the plan. Get this weight loss going in the right direction and then, plan a much needed holiday, something to work towards

I'm tired and need a break! But for now, it's Friday and I intend to have a HUGE sleep tonight!!!
