I was feeling really positive on Wednesday and Thursday. I was a little concerned whether I would be tempted to cheat at Dad's but not a bit of it - I was stellar! No nibbles and a good run on Thursday. 3.25km (well, it's flat over there) taking me to 9.4km in total. A dent in the marathon but will I "hit the wall" or whatever it is that happens to those nutters who really run marathons?!
I felt thinner and motivated.
So why then did I start with the picking on my way home on Thursday?? Why?
I could live with the picking on my drive home; I was hungry and limited it to a small packet of chicken breast meat. But then we went out to darts and dominoes Finals Night. I had a crust of bread and butter before we went out; a few chips from the buffet; a gin and tonic; a small sausage roll(!). Nothing drastic as you can see but nothing worth doing either.
Well, maybe the gin and (slimline) tonic - a modest celebration. We won both the darts and the dominoes knockout competitions and Richard's team had already come second in the league so a successful evening for the White Hart B!!
I have stopped the rot today but, due to the rain, did not go out for a run after work as I had half planned to do.
All is not lost - the scales are being relatively kind - 2lbs off so far this week so hopefully my sticky patch is over. Football at home tomorrow and more golf on Sunday (weather permitting). It should be a reasonably quiet weekend so hopefully I can keep the momentum going.

I always imagine that one of the hardest things about those VLCDs is the lack of stuff to chew - so picking at bits and pieces is a pretty natural instinct, surely. As you say, you're acting to stop the rot fast which is great.
