Day 18 - Losing Weight and Building Momentum

It's day 18 and I've managed to get through my birthday weekend which was going to be one of the biggest challenges of the 100 days. No alcohol, cake or birthday food. I have eaten out three times during the last few days and in each cash only have meat, vegetables and drank water - no carbs or processed foods at all. The great side effect of this challenge is that food tastes better and since my stomach has shrunk the smaller portions are leaving me feeling full. 
Last night I had a sirloin steak and salad which left me feeling completely full and satisfied without craving the chips, deserts or wine I would normally have alongside a steak meal. I work up this morning weighing 74kg which is a 5 kg weight loss since this challenge started. This is about 11lbs or only 1.3kg away from losing a stone in less than 20 days. 
People have started commenting that I am looking leaner and healthier saying that my skin is glowing and without wanting to jinx things it's actually starting to feel easy and that I'm building momentum. Once the mindset is right, losing weight can be really easy. 
Chocolate cake is on offer but I'd actually prefer to have a green juice made from Avocados, Apples and Lemon. If you crave cake like I used to then this will seem unbelievable, but when you change how you think you no longer have to battle cravings, you simply don't want them.
