Day 1 of Attack (including food diary)

So today I have eaten the following (in no particular order):

2 x eggs scrambled with skimmed milk
16 x crab sticks
2 x small salmon fillets
1 x seafood mix
1.5 tablespoons of oat bran mixed with skimmed milk and cinnamon
1 x Vanilla Mullerlight yoghurt
1 slice of turkey

I have drank, so far:

3 x cups of tea, with skimmed milk
1 x glass of diet, caffeine free coke
4 x large glasses of water (nearly pint glasses)
1 x 330ml btl of sparkling water

Feeding wise I have had more than enough. I did the 2 salmon fillets and seafood cocktail for my tea, thinking that without potatoes or pasta or rice and veg it was going to leave me hungry, but was full on 1 salmon fillet and the seafood, but didn't want to waste the price of a salmon fillet so ate it anyway (there you go, that'll be one of my food issues discovered on only day 1 of the diet! Will have to explore that one in the very near future I think). I also didn't need the oat bran, but as it's mandatory and I didn't buy it till tonight I thought I better force it down.

I am surprised by how filling eating just protein is, I really was expecting to be hungry. I missed breakfast today, because of the cat trauma so by 10am I was starving - hence the consumption of a whole packet of crab sticks (although Isaac did help me, but I couldn't work out how much of my sticks he had and equate it to actual ones, so figure I may aswell count the whole packet!)

I think I am going to be fine with breakfasts and lunches, but it may well be dinners (aka tea) I struggle with and I really do have to get into the habit of having breakfast. I have got myself a "treat" for breakfast tomorrow to make sure I have it. I am having scrambled eggs and smoked salmon - YUMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

I also think I need to learn how to be creative and to overcome this inbuilt "knowledge" that it's not a dinner meal without the carbs (I can't remember the last cooked dinner I ate that didn't have rice/pasta/potatoes with it).

So day one almost complete, it'll just be drinks between now and bed and then onto day 2. Must decide whether to weigh myself daily (as Dukan suggests during Attack) or just wait until Saturday when my 5 days have completed (as Slimming World, Weight Watchers etc would recommend) - my little visitor is going to make the scales "out" anyway so I may be best to leave it a few days. We'll see.

I MUST take my measurements though, but have got to find the tape measure first... now where did I put it?
