Trimlee's refeed - MiniMins.com

trimlee · 18th August, 2008

Hi guys, I'm a refeed newbie! Did TFR for 11 weeks. 17kg (40lbs), 18 inches, and 2 dress sizes later, I've decided to come off and refeed.
I started today. Decided to keep a record (will motivate me to stick with it and hopefully inform others planning to refeed). Here goes:

Day 1:
bfast: LT shake
lunch: LT shake
supper: chicken fillet, lettuce & 3baby tomatoes

Today I felt nervous and excited! Nervous about leaving my comfort zone of regimented control over what I eat (just LT shakes!), and entering again into the land of a range of food choices. Excited because after a long while (and very worth while at that!) I was going to eat again.
The experience was lovely though. I seemed to taste the flavours very strongly. I felt satisfied after what in the past would have been a ridiculously small portion size -and with no carb in sight. Fantastic! Had a cup of tea with skimmed milk tonight. It tasted yummy (can't believe I could ever like skimmed milk!)
LT has certainly changed my taste buds for the better!

Got maintainance formula from the pharmacy today. Can't wait to try it tomorrow!

i love seeing what people eat on refeed gives me ideas for when i start x bet its lovely to eat again and a bit weird!

trimlee · 19th August, 2008

Yeah Donna. Had the maintainance chocolate whip this morning. Unbelievably it felt like it was not right for me to have it! It seemed like an indulgence -it was very creamy and kinda like a dessert mousse. I felt like I was eating something fatty and calorific!!
I think I'll try thinning it down and making it into a hot chocolate drink tomorrow. The pharmacy didn't have the caramel bars so I'll try those next week.
This afternoon I should be having another meal but to be honest I feel a bit overfull from this morning's choc whip. Also, I've become so used to the convenience of making and taking my shake at work, that I need to get my head round preparing and packing a refeed lunch to take to work with me. So today I'm having the last (aaahhh!!!) of my LT TFR shakes (strawberry, yum!) for lunch, and I'll have a refeed meal in the evening.
Oh man, this is all so new -and exciting!

trimlee · 19th August, 2008

Ok here's day 2:
Bfast: choc whip (maintenance)
Lunch: lipotrim shake (TFR)
Dinner: chicken fillet, lettuce & 4 baby tomatoes
Hot choc drink with skimmed milk & sweeteners

trimlee · 20th August, 2008

Day 3
bfast: maintenance chop whip (-thinned it down and made it into hot choc. Better this way I think)
lunch: green peas, runner beans and grilled ham. Balsamic vinegar
Dinner: rice (aah, not a proper planned meal. was cooking for others and ended up picking, tasting then scoffing; had about half a plate eventually. Lesson: need to be much more vigilant and disciplined now that I'm refeeding. Feeling too full now... Well, must make up for it tomorrow.

Day 4
bfast: choc whip -thinned down into hot choc drink
lunch: some sweet crunchy snack (again, not proper meal!)
dinner: bit of rice, green veggies, chicken. oh, and some cake (hmm..)

nicki26 · 21st August, 2008

lol was it nice 'the cake' i am scared about wanting to eat food like that again

thefutureisbright · 22nd August, 2008

Good idea doing this trimlee!

xox u feeling fine? Im on day 3 today and I feel 100% xox

trimlee · 24th August, 2008

Hi Nicki 26 & Julz, I'm feeling good and at the same time have had a reality check! The cake was very good! Sweet stuff still tstes as sweet and tempting junk is still tempting. My conclusion: I've learnt over this 1st week of refeeding that maintenance is going to be alot harder than the actual TFR! We need a lot of discipline and smart strategies to keep at our desired weight!

trimlee · 24th August, 2008

Day 5:
bfast: choc whip (mid-morning: half an orange)
lunch: yam dumplings ('amala') , spinach & fish
dinner: chicken salad

trimlee · 24th August, 2008

Day 6:
Bfast: 2 slices weight-watchers brown bread with jam, tea
(early afternoon: biscuits -had some of the children's -aah!)
lunch: yam dumplings ('amala'), vegetable soup with beef and fish
dinner: bran flakes and skimmed milk

trimlee · 24th August, 2008

Day 7
bfast: cereal bar
lunch: fried rice, chicken
dinner: fried rice, chicken (then wanted something sweet and had cake and coffee. Hmm...)

trimlee · 26th August, 2008

Quite ashamed to say I ate too much yeasterday at a party. Ate the whole plate of food (mainly carbs -aarrgghh!) and felt too full. Had to lie on my side at night. Oh the shame...
Now I've learnt that I still have work to do: changing those old 'fat' habits. I managed to have cake twice last week and biscuits twice too.
OK, not to be too hard on myself, at least now I'm noticing what I eat.
I WILL BE CAREFUL NOW.
Feel really apprehensive about WI today. What if i've gained weight, ohhh....

thefutureisbright · 26th August, 2008
