Well that's a weight off my... body!

Well, well.  Weigh in day this morning and I can't say I look or feel any different (but it has only been 48 hours) so stepping on the scales was a mighty shock.

I've lost 4lbs!!!!  That's right people, 4lbs.  Almost half of what I said yesterday I needed to lose!  Inspired by this I whipped out the tape measure to see I've also lost half an inch of my waist (no change to bust or hips yet). 

All this, when I've actually eaten more than I usually would, and certainly eaten healthier foods (did you SEE all that green on my plate yesterday? And not a Monster Munch or toffee bonbon in sight).  So feeling pretty darn smug today... and its only 5 more days til cheat day when i can eat whatever I want for a whole day.

I accept, of course, that just about every woman I know seems to lose weight relatively easily at the beginning of a diet, probably due to water weight, or just the fact that we usually have a wee pig out right before the diet starts, so I am not going to get complacent.  I am not quite ready to pat Mr Ferris on the back just yet. However I do think that this might be the start of a whole new healthy way of eating going forward - just don't quote me on that next time you see me scoffing donuts on my way to work.
