The second day of the diet allows you to eat all the vegetables you want, (although it recommends staying away from dry beans, peas, and sweet corn,) along side the cabbage soup. (Joy.) As a massive treat, the diet plan suggests you reward yourself with a baked potato with butter for dinner- which already makes the day ultimately better than yesterday!
The weather today was glorious, and my housemate Nelly suggested we have a picnic in the park, and went on to list all the lovely things we could pack up and take with us. Cold pastries, quiche, Doritos with salsa sauce, coke, chicken legs, breadsticks with homous, cake… the list goes on. You name anything unhealthy and I bet you, Nelly fancied it!
After making it clear that I had learned from Monday, and was not about to let her tempt me into breaking the rules again, she suggested we have a trip to Morrisons, where we could make use of their self-service cold salad counter.
Whilst she loaded coleslaw and potato salad, and various types of pasta, (all smothered in lovely mayo) into her box, and topped it off with a sprinkling of cheese and fried croutons for good measure, I was left with lettuce leaves, cucumber and a small amount of grated carrot. Fantastic.
The sunshine enabled me to salvage a pleasant picnic experience, although the food wasn’t a big factor in my enjoyment! I really started to get irritable when Nelly toddled off to get an ice cream from the shop, leaving me to wallow in my self-pity, and continually curse the stupid diet.

I cooked myself the biggest jacket potato I could get my hands on for dinner. I figured I wouldn’t be coming across carbohydrates again until day seven, so I may as well make the most of it.
Tomorrow I get to eat fruit AND vegetables… oh how will I cope with the sheer variety and choice…?!
Give me Weight Watchers points any day, at least they allow you to eat chocolate!
