Is the caramel crunch a bar, Paesh?

I think so. Chocolate caramel crunch bar I think. I've only ordered 10 of those as I imagine they may be quite sickly.
I'm really excited about trying the Dahl!
I got a bit of the ketosis rage tonight. I was tired, hungry, my legs were aching and I was doing some work which wasn't making any sense.
Day 5 tomorrow! 3 litres of water done today!

Today is going ok.
I've just got home from a very busy day at work and have a cracking headache. I've only managed 1litre of water so far so I think that's why. But I still feel positive/focused despite the headache. I don't want to eat or anything. I'm wearing a dress that normally suffocates me on my stupid fat bust but it feels comfortable on me today, yay! It's a size 18 dress that is a zip dress rather than stretchy so I count that as a real NSV.
My ketosis strips have arrived so that's good. Although I did check in work (we have them in work) and I was at least 2+ in ketosis. I didn't need to check though really as I have the Breath of Doom!!!!
My exante delivery has been dispatched, I'm so excited about trying the jam bar!!!
How is everyone doing today?

The headache just might need some water to help it to pass. I love your NSV. That's fantastic! Here's to many more.

My headache's gone now. I've managed another litre of water and just had a choccy shake which was nice.
Did a bit of gardening too when I got home for exercise.
I'm so tired so I will be having a nice early night methinks!

I'm struggling a teeny bit mentally this morning. Not weighing in is the right thing for me to do but I can't deny how much it used to boost me each day (I was a daily weigher) to see those numbers drop.
The first time we did CD we made little graphs of our weight loss. Mine was lost when we moved house years ago but I've got DHs to look at to boost me. Although he did better than me he lost 4 stone in just 12 weeks whereas it took me 16 weeks I think.
I know I'll lost 12-14lbs in my first week. It's day 6 so I'm probably 10-11lbs down than I was ok Thursday when I started. I can see it in my face. I can feel it slightly in my clothes.
I think I just feel a bit demoralised because of how much I have to lose and how far I've got to go.
And I think part of my psychologically is rebelling because this time feels so different compared to the million stop-starts I've been doing since 2012. It feels real now it feels like I am capable of sticking to it and committing to it. But the part of me that doesn't want to lose weight is having a tantrum.
It's such a shame I don't have therapy this week to discuss it.
The part of me that thinks I will be a fat girl forever and that being fat is safe is rebelling. Well that part of me can shut up!
*big sigh*
The only other problem I get on this diet is that I get thrush a lot. I'm starting to feel the itch so I will be getting some cream in today!

What I love is that you know you are doing what is right for you at this moment in time by not weighing in. So you are tuning in and listening to your self. You are not alone in this constant food battle and I've even been considering something like hypnotherapy to combat my binge/addiction mentality.
I think you are doing absolutely brilliantly so keep going!
