FRIDAY 15th DECEMBER 2006

2 litres of water drunk so far. I will get my 3rd in by 13:45.

Ate a Malt Toffee CD bar for breakfast .... it took me ages, in part because I thought it tasted foul. Oh boy my taste buds must be changing - or may be it's because I prefer it cut up and frozen ... we'll see. Thankfully I only have 1 left. I think I'll stick to the shakes for this diet.

The Christmas Party is going to be so rubbish. Some people are having second thoughts because it's smart wear and they want to wear jeans. How silly!

The people here are so dull. I'm wondering whether my choice of outfit is too glam - either way I'm going to wear it, and wear it well.

So I don't have my shake as I can't be bothered. I'm no longer hungry. Although I was tempted to order chips on room service. And I did, but then cancelled. virtue got in the way

As far as I'm concerned this is my diary so I'm going to be as honest as possible.

I had to dinner they put on offer and scrummy it was too.

1st course : seasonal melon with a berry coulis. I didn't eat mine

2nd Course: vegetable soup. I took one small sip and left the rest. I did eat the bread roll. Yummy, yummy yummy, but don't miss it in the slightest. I can cope without another bread roll for the next 8 months I'm pretty darn sure.

3rd Course: salmon with vegetables (including boiled potatoes). I ate all of it bar 1.5 potatoes, meaning I had half a potato

4th course:profiteroles. I didn't eat them. Don't like them, never will.

5th course: Christmas pud with Brandy sauce. I took a tiny piece and found it excruciatingly sweet (must be my CD taste buds!)

I had water throughout (my literage for the day was circa 4 -5 litres).

I had two vodka and tonics - but stayed away from the wine. I dunno, I felt a tad guilty and didn't want to do too much damage and I didn't feel at all deprived.

My manager - whom I don't see eye to eye with said that she thought in her mind last week that I'd lost weight. I confirmed this and said around 2 stones. She was like "wow".
Not that I've made a show of it, in fact I've tried to be discreet, but she and my other colleague said to me "oohh, those shakes must be working!" LOL

Lots of people took a double take of me and I was told I looked stunning. I look fairly drab at work - I do this so as to draw distinction between 'out of the office' 'in the office' and 'out on the town'

My dress was strapless and tight and sexy. I wore it a few years ago and then tried it a few months back but it didn't fit. It fit me yesterday though. Size 18, Wallis - thank God for Wallis sizing!

One guy I kinda had the hots for a few months back kept catching my eye around the dinner table. He thinks I look fine anyway, but said I looked gorgeous. We had a dance he kissed me goodbye (some of them were off out to a club - I couldn't go, my shoes were made for decoration purposes only!) and kept kissing me on the lips, in fact if I left him, tongues would have been involved. He then said "I like you" in this shy quite voice (he is shy) and I said "don't tell anyone, but "I like you too". I kinda said it jokingly because you just never know do you, he may well be lying in his bed regretting what he said. I was only slightly inebriated so I remember EVERYTHING.

Anyway that was my night ... I'll continue with a next post titled "16th December 2006"

Much love all and thanks for reading!
