still my first day ..and I'm now salivating...

And this was my idea!

Whose idea was this? I hadnt realised just how much food features in my life!
Mind you , I have a sneaky suspicion that thats the reason why Im doing this fast in the first place!
- to shift my focus!


My Focus on Food

Despite being the first day of the fast I have managed to fit food into my day!
I have made a vegetable soup and some chicken stock for the freezer. I have been shopping in the supermarket and enjoyed looking at the selections , even though my trolley contained the grand selection of lemons and organic Agave Nectar (Im still hoping that that works as well as Maple Syrup!). I did ask at the pharmacy for natural laxatives and I received a very strange look . As Id just requested non ionised salt ( No , I dont know what it is either) the assistant couldnt resist asking me if I was on Atkins or something similiar. As the queue formed behind me I couldnt help wishing that I was suddenly somewhere else. Remember I hate diets , and Atkins has to be the worst diet known to mankind . Mind you , considering I meant to be swallowing salted water every morning , I may change my mind . Fortunately for me , no salt available ! Phew!
After the supermarket I came home and decided to clean out the fridge, the now empty fridge. Honestly , it was as though I was performing last rites for my fridge !!

I miss not choosing and preparing food . I miss not having some tasty flavours in my mouth. I miss my food!

The scales often lie - dont they?

I did weigh myself today but Im not going to tell the world how much I weigh . Not yet anyway! Someone told me today that I look gorgeous just the way I am and I dont look like I need to lose any weight , so whats the point in spoiling that illusion? Thank you Sally ( my personal stylist who achieves miracles with my wardrobe!!) But I will tell you how muuch Ive lost ( or heavens above, gained) at the end of the ten days


By the way , just in case you didnt notice in the last post , this fast is going to last longer than ten days ...but thats another story !

Gotta dash now to my web design class - which should keep me distracted for a couple of hours ......
