Hi everyone welcome to my JUDDD diary!!!
I just got home (last night) from an amazing holiday in Egypt which I thoroughly enjoyed but I will admit I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I was slim. I felt very self conscious round the pool and being overweight was at times uncomfortable in the heat.
I'm not new to dieting I have lost huge amounts of weight doing all sorts including a VCLD where I lost 8 stone. Unfortunately I've put most of the back on.
Whilst I was in holiday I read the Alternate Day diet and something just clicked. Soooo here I am in the evening of my first DD. I've decided not to do shakes but Brevita's instead. So I've had two packs today totalling 470 calories. I've drunk loads of fluids but do have a bit of a headache. Not back at work till Wednesday so have a couple of days to get used to it
So the plan is DD on Mon Wed and Fri with a weigh in every Saturday morning. I want to lose around 6 stone
Have a feeling this is the way forward as the thought of being able to eat tomorrow is keeping me focused. Not going to count calories on the UDs but going to listen to what my body wants. I tested this theory on holiday telling myself I could eat whatever I wanted and astonishingly it wasn't unhealthy food I was wanting ... This was a true revelation to me.
Anyway hope you come along for the ride there aren't as many threads on here as other diets but I have a feeling this will change going forward.
Good luck everyone
