    Hi Elfen
    I've just found your diary and wanted to say hello. You've got loads going on and I wanted to show some support.. you're not alone. I gave up smoking a while ago, I found that the best way to deal with the cravings was to go and scrub the bathroom... I know it sounds odd, but for me it really worked!
    Well done on your weight loss.. that's such an achievement, you should be really proud of yourself. I try and control what I eat every day, and every day I fail miserably, and am about 5 stone overweight.
    I'll subscribe to your diary and pop in to say hi... I really hope that writing it all down is being helpful to you :0)

    Yeah I hide here a lot lol.

    Am at home right now, with the parents, and it's nice to get away and relax and not worry about all the stresses of back home. Ex has paid me £30, so my shopping is covered for next week (also have a list to stick to :D )

    Food diary:
    B - cornflakes
    L - cornflakes
    S - apricots
    D - jacket and beans

    Been trying to get back to 2l+ of water a day, and starting to succeed.

    Still at my parents, still not smoking :D
    Food diary:
    B - cornflakes
    S - raisins
    L - roast pork, roast pots, veg
    D - god knows!

    Had more NSDS (3 since I've been here) need to get bus fare tomorrow and then go grocery shopping Tues (but that's covered out of a different budget so will be an NSD) and I'll also start C25K Tuesday morning :D
