I've decided to make GREEN TEA my drink of choice and limit the decaff and hot chocolate to 1 cup each a day. I still weigh 13 st 9 but yesterday I was 13st 11 and 3/4 so hopefully the thing about GREEN TEA speeding up metabolism and making you burn fat is true? The hormonal highs and lows are getting rather boring and tiresome now, (like having inner demons that you can't control), so someone told me to treat them as the enemy and fight the little b*ggers, so that is what I'm going to do......use mind of matter to stop the moods caused by the hormonal ups and downs and stop the downward spiral into depression and despair.
I've found putting the earphones in and listening to some music with a sleepmask on a really good way of relaxing. Four tracks in particular that help are from a brilliant film called JODHAA AKBAR, shortly to be released on dvd. I really recommend these tracks to chill out to and when you know what context they are taken from in the film you will definately derive more benefit from them. Give them a try, if your not used to songs from Hindi films listen to them a few times and you hear how beautiful they are.
