The craving did eventually pass (and I resisted it!!) though it kept coming and going in waves. But I coped with it.

I had my first weigh in today and lost 700g (1.54 lbs) and a total of 26 cm (10.23 in).

Since I have only actively been on the program since Monday, I consider this to be a successful loss and I am feeling very good about myself. I have a long way to go but this is the start of my journey (yet again) and there's no looking back. Very soon my wedding ring will fit comfortably again!!
