As I mentioned in my last entry, this week's weigh in doesn't count because I haven't actually digested food properly in a week.

It wasn't as bad as earlier in the week, at one point I thought I had lost 4kg (8.8lb), but some careful eating and some clogging up medicine meant that something actually stuck to my ribs today. So the scales say 1.9kg (4.1lb) gone, but we'll see what they actually read next week.

Even if I gain .5kg (1.1lb) over the next week, then I will have hit my 25kg (55lb) lost goal. YAY! I won't update it yet, because this is just a pretendy loss and my poor malnourished body may pack on everything I've lost just to replenish some of the nutrients I've lost over the past two weeks.

I made the fatal mistake of overindulging last night. My brother hosted a little Australian Idol party and we had pizza (six slices), garlic foccacia (2 slices) and chocolate mousse with Flake sprinkled on top.

You know what they say, a minute on the lips, a lifetime in the bathroom! (At least in my case, anyway.) It was SO not worth the agonising gut cramps I had for the rest of the evening and I nearly missed the announcement of the winner (Go Casey! You beautiful creature!) after my body decided that I was a complete moron for eating this junk and that it was going to be evicted, pronto.

I have been a much more sensible Tree today and had nice, plain, starchy, fibre-filled food to help slow down the helter skelter that is my digestive system. Yummy porridge (oatmeal) for breakfast made with water and flavoured with cinnamon and a tiny bit of sugar, some couscous and fresh veggies for lunch and plain pasta for dinner. I also had some fresh fruit for snacks.

So far, so good. No pain and it seems to have stayed inside long enough for me to derive some nutritional benefit from it.

I'll avoid dairy and anything too spicy for the next couple of days and by the end of the week, I should be set.

I've bought a stash of supplements suggested by my naturopath and I'll start downing those soon.

I'll stick to just a half hour walk each day, I'm still getting dizzy if I stand up too quickly so I'm clearly not ready for a tough workout yet.

But here is the plan. This week, I'll be off any and all medications and my digestive system WILL settle down.

Next week I want to have 25kg (55lb) still gone and the end will be in sight.

I've already got people telling me I should stop losing where I am now, but I'm not done yet. Not sure if my final goal is 70kg or 65kg (as per WW and the BMI tables), I'll find out when I get there. But it's so close now I can bloody taste it.

And you know what? I never thought I'd ever say this, but NOTHING tastes as good as being thin feels!
