The Proof is in The Pudding

Well, ok I REALLY meant weighing, but being in such a skinny slim jim frame of mind I couldn’t resist titling this post in such a manner!

Yes, today is the first official fortnightly weigh day on the Paul McKenna system – where I get to see if this “new way” of approaching eating really works. Well, I can say – oh boy it REALLY does!!! I wish I could add a trumpet sound here ‘cos I’m so darn excited!!

In a fortnight I’ve lost SEVEN pounds!!!!!!!!!!

Without really feeling as if I should have! Without going out of my way or faffing about and concentrating hard on weighing and measuring as with usual diets!! I’ve eaten what I wanted, when I wanted. Just approached it all in a different manner.

During this fortnight I have consumed a McDonalds, a whole Chocolate Orange to myself (hehe), a curly wurly, two bags of crisps (which I might add I don’t even usually have!!!), a sit down curry (that’s the meal out I struggled to get through in one of my previous posts!!), some mini ring donuts, a slice of apple pie, a spotted dick and custard, some marzipan, onion rings, curly fries …………hmmm………trying to recall other little things I’ve had which most “diets” would ban you from!!! And I still managed a loss of about 3.5 lbs per week! How cool is all that?!

Of course – most people who have a lot of weight to loose usually have a big loss in the first couple of weeks of changing their eating habits so I don't expect it to continue to happen at such a rate– but it’s certainly a great start and it’s going to keep me motivated that all this seemingly non-dieting really helps loose weight!

Yay! Way to go me!!!
