SW has a food diary (which I guess other plans have too) and it's stunning if you keep it accurately... being an inveterate picker, especially at work, it was difficult at first to note every single thing that I ate or drank, but it made me realise just how often I did pick and nibble. Now I pick and nibble on fruit (there are some amazing black cherries in Tesco's at the moment... delish!) and it's made a big difference.

Had a measure this morning. 2 inches off the chest, an inch off the waist, 2 inches off the hips compared with last August. Someone who hasn't seen me for a few months commented on how much thinner I looked - must be because I only have 2 chins now instead of 3! Explains why my trousers keep slipping down!
