Breakfast: hot-cross bun (Scarsdale Diet - slight variation on specified piece

of wholemeal toast); Mars Bar (Scarsdale Diet - slight variation on
specified half grapefruit) Snack: two bananas, two pears (switched to F-

plan as starving and cannot face Scarsdale carrot snacks). Carton orange

juice (Anti-Cellulite Raw-Food Diet) Lunch: jacket potato (Scarsdale
Vegetarian Diet) and hummus (Hay Diet - fine with jacket spuds as all
starch, and breakfast and snack were all alkaline-forming with exception

of hot-cross bun and Mars: minor aberration) Dinner: four glasses of
wine, fish and chips (Scarsdale Diet and also Hay Diet - protein forming);

portion tiramisu; peppermint Aero (pissed)

I realize it has become too easy to find a diet to fit in with whatever you
happen to feel like eating and that diets are not there to be pick and mixed but
picked and stuck to, which is exactly what I shall begin to do once I've eaten this
chocolate croissant.

Disaster. Complete disaster. Flushed with the success of Tom's ice-queen theory

I began to rather brim over, as it were, into Jude's, and starting messaging Daniel
again, to reassure him that I trust him and am not going to become needy or fly
off the handle without just cause.

By midmorning, so successful was the ice-queen combined with Men are from
Mars, Women are from Venus approach that Daniel walked right up to me by the
coffee machine and said, 'Will you come to Prague next weekend?'
