It was delivered today. It doesn't say what time though. I should have checked at 8am but didn't think because I was in the middle of getting Amber ready for school. Oh well, not much I can do really. it's the joys of ebay isn't it.

You can still look later and it should give you a time and be able to see a signature. Hold off with the refund Toto. You will have a time that she sent the email and once you have time signed for you can have an idea of whether she is lying at least

Arrgghhhh....help meeeeeeeeee!

For the last week and a bit I have found it really difficult to stop eating - just seem to feel constantly hungry and had put about 3lbs on, which was making me feel worse, so I was comfort eating more...

So in an effort to break the cycle, I am back on CD 100% from today. I've had my porridge, and a big glass of water, but the urge to eat is overwhelming, much worse than anything I've ever experienced before.

So I need to keep my mind off food today - I'm hoping if I can get through the next 3 days without cheating, I will start to feel better, but it's seriously driving me a bit nuts, and the weird thing is that on a normal day, I probably wouldn't have eaten much (if anything) by this time anyway. So I can't imagine it's anything other than psychological.

Might do some painting later but feel so wiped out, despite having a slightly better nights sleep last night.

Aww Snaggles, promise not to mention food on here today! Are you doing the usual stuff like drinking lots of water to make sure you're not thirsty rather than hungry? Can you do something to preoccupy yourself like, erm, some surveys or some daft online game or summat?

Ok, here's what I do on days/weeks like this.

First, find some photos of you when you were happy with your weight and think you look great. Then find photos of yourself looking like you really don't want to look. I find that really helps me to focus on where I want to be.

Brush your teeth, drink a glass of water and tell yourself that if you still feel hungry in 20 minutes you can eat whatever you like. If I say to myself no way am I allowed to eat chocolate/cake/cheese then I focus on the want until I cave in. if i tell myself I can choose to have what i want then it tends to ease off because it becomes my choice not to eat it.

Go and do some exercise? Dance with Natasha in the living room with some music on loudly... I just did that with my little tiger

or you could always take your mind off it by browsing the LaSenza sale

Okay have put my tickets on seatwave now for the face value but where do people get off trying to sell them for £129!!!! Weird

Oooo and my journal made the times online homepage today

I've done the water drinking and the teeth cleaning, I've done some exercise (well, I did the school run on foot, which is 20 minutes walking - need to do some more though).

Will go and look for something productive and possibly money-making I can do. Natasha is full of a cold still, asked her if she wanted to dance (because she usually loves dancing), and she looked at me like I was nuts and said 'sick'.

I will do the photo thing, that might help. I'll go and look, then post them on here. That will give me something to concentrate on for a bit.

posting my fat and thin pics helped me focus the other day
