Thread: The start of the journey

I figred I would like to keep a diery. I keep one anyway, but not for the diet.
First thing is there a spell cheaker... I'm dyslexic you see... oh well.

I decided to take up the diet for a number of reasons:

I need to change how I look at food and my relationship with it.

I need to look after my self better to avoid the illnesses my mum has.

I get depressed shopping because none of the pretty clothes fit me.

I try and hide so people don't see me. I hate photos.


I will be 30 soon, ( a few weeks) that is a big enough mile stone with out being fat as well.

I have always been picked on for something, but I figure what ever else I am, I don't have to be over weight. I can choose not to be.
So that is the plan. I'm choosing to be on sole source plus. I will loose weight and it will be worth it.

I know that I will just be a lighter me, but that will make me feel just a little better about turning 30.

After the summer I go in to my 4th year of uni. Its really hard to keep up uni and all my other commitments, being over weight makes it even harder. I get sore and tired so fast.

So far so good wooo
Not feeling bad about things today. I'm lucky in that I have friends on this journey with me.
Who wants to help me find a cute little 30th party dress

Welcome! I use google chrome browser - it spell checks everything as you go, but if you read any of my posts (and I'm not dyslexic) the typos are horrific so don't worry about it!

That's fab that you have made that decision to lose weight heading into 30, I turned 28 and was starting to feel the same way, it's silly really, it's only a number, but I guess (well for me) it's the retaliation that you are a proper adult any the only one who can fix these things.

so have you started yet? or when is the day?

exactly lol gonna have to grew up now! I have no excuse. On day three now. So far the other two days, the hardest part was the food cravings. But today I feel hung over. Cold sweats, sore swimmy head, achy tired feeling. But woo nearly halfway through day 3. Thanks for the reply

Get up!!! Think of those calories you'll burn walking to the kitchen and shaking your shake up lol. Was feeling like it all morning after swimming yesterday, it sucks moving when it's sooo much work!!

Thanks, things are getting hard for me now though, I am determined ill get there though!!

Well done nia87 on saying no back on day two. I'm on day 4 as well now wooo

Every time I bent over, I was not sure if I was going to faint or be sick. Last night I was really ill, I was awake till after 6 this morning with an ice block on my head.
I had shivers, was feeling sick, dizzy, sore tired etc. It was like a really bad hangover. I have never had a sore head that bad. I took pain killers but all I had was ibuprofen, not good on an empty tummy. I took them anyway and they made no difference. Finally at around 6.45 ( last time I looked at the time) I fell asleep. I could feel and hear my head pounding.

woke up this morning alright. Head is not so swimmy. Wooo. I got up, did the dishes, Had a cuppa. put a wash on. Phoned a few places tidied the kitchen. Been on hear and on other sites for the last few hours. Going to have my first shake soon.

I had forgotten about it. I'm not feeling hungry at all Last night I could not have eaten if I wanted to. At one point I had to lie on the cold bathroom floor to stop the world spinning. I never want to do that again.

No idea why it was that bad though, I have had my 3 shakes, a small meal and some tea :S every day plus 4 x 1 liter bottles of water. I carry it about with me.
At some points last night I could not sit up to drink with out leaning on the wall. it just felt like I had a water bed or the world was spinning. Stop the world I wanted to get off! lol

So very glad that is over woooo day 4
Going out to meet some friends tonight. I will just be drinking iced water. challenge number one. I will be driving, but I don't need fizzy juice or orange juice water will be fine.

ps thanks crazyDiamond for your reply. I wanted to. I was hoping to fix the garden fence when the rain stopped. But the more I moved the worse the spinning got. actually it got worse as time went on. So it was maybe nothing to do with moving. I spend the night listening to an audio book.

What week are you on? I have forgotten, though I'm sure you mentioned it before. You have come soooo far and done so well. Just shows what you are capable off so close to your goal that will make it harder, but your determination will see you though

did you post before and after pictures? go team you

Ugh, that sounds horrific, ketosis seems to hate you... But isn't it a great incentive to keep on plan just so you don't have to go through that again!?

Haha thanks! I have no idea what week I am ok, started 1st jan, have had a 2 and a bit week break in the middle. I have a thread in the inspirational photos bit, can't post a link though from my phone :-(

Your right about the determination, I'm literally obsessed with it all, maybe a little too much! It's why I have to become a consultant after so I can carry on obsessing about it lol

Glad your much better today.... It's plain sailing from here!

Xx

thats a good idea about being a consultant you could then give yourself a discount on the products as well lol
Yeah I never want to go though that again. That is a good point. I need to go get other pain killers that are not ibuprofen today. I can't remember who I told. But I'm going out tonight. I will be the one sitting in a pub drinking ice water lol

Cost price all the way :-)

Yeah, steer clear of ibuprofen, to caused me pretty bad stomach problems last year!

Haha, the irony, even when I'm not on a diet I'm the one drinking tap water.... Cheap night out!! If I'm feeling like a treat I have fizzy lol.

Hope you have a good evening!
