Hi Tasha

I don't have any specific questions but it would just be nice to know that there's someone around here who can help if I need it.

I'm on my last day of phase 1. On Thursday I had lost 1.5 kg so I'm pleased with that. I have a regular support group meeting on Thursdays so that will be my weigh-in day.

I don't particularly feel starved of anything although this week is hard as I have my in-laws visiting and they like us to eat out with them every evening. Last night I thought I was playing it safe with a halumi salad - the salad being mainly lettuce, grilled peppers, pine nuts and halumi cheese but it had a pesto dressing with it which was very rich. I felt so sick the whole evening and I could still taste it this morning. It's amazing how one week on the program can curb those tastes.

Any idea what I should have in a chinese restaurant? It's a meat only restaurant - no fish of any kind.

thanks
