Food diary - week 3 - stayed the same

I'M disappointed that I haven't lost any weight this week, but delighted that I have continued to eat a lot more healthily and exercise.

I've had a really good week and feel really well, I think I feel as though I have lost weight - so I hope it shows up next week. There are bound to be weeks in a month where my weight goes up and down all by itself, so I think this must be one of them! As I've already lost a stone in two weeks, I can hardly be too bothered - this is a marathon not a sprint.

Also, in the past a week when the scales showed I hadn't lost any weight would have sent me straight to the biscuit tin, so am made up not to be feeling 'deprived'.
