Thread: My New Everyday Diary

Hi Everyone

Been here before, many times. Not new to minimins, VLCDs or restarts .

So here I am again, on day 4 of SnS and waiting patiently for my delivery today as I really want a bar.

A bit about me, did CD about 4 years ago going from a size 14 to a 10. Hovered around a size 10-12 since and was an 8 for a while. Ive spent the past year around 9-10stone and would ideally be 8 stone so that is my ultimate goal. At present I dont know my exact weight as I find reading the number on the scales can be enough to totally put me off and unmotivate me.

I hope to write in here everyday, even if it's a bad day. Im guilty of neglecting past diaries when things go bad so I hope to not do that as the support here is amazing.

So far I have had 1 egg, about to have another. Have drank 1 pint water, 500ml coke zero and two cups tea with milk allowance. Will have a meal, bar, shake and veg throughout the day.

Not sure if Im in ketosis yet, I never get symptoms apart from the coldness (currently have three jumpers on and 2 pairs of socks), I also never get that energy boost people talk about, maybe this time I will would be soooo good as I can barely peel myself off the sofa and I'm working all weekend!

Will probably be post happy for a while as I'm still feeling the hunger/boredom so please forgive me if I'm talking nonsense. Also I'm aware I make lots of typos/auto corrects, again I apologise.

Now off to make that egg and read more posts. Delivery should be here by 15:21

Just been for a little jog and done a mini workout. The thing with jog/running is it prevents that common vlcd constipation problem!!! Hope that's not tmi.

Day 5

Admittedly I do feel slimmer. Though not sure if its because I've lost weight or its that 'thin' feeling you get when you're hungry/empty!

Nightshift tonight so have to stretch my packs over 24 hours but won't deny myself a 5th if needed.

I actually had an extra pack yesterday, felt vv dizzy after my little workout, the extra did the trick. Don't want to make a habit of it tho.

Also noticed I didn't pee as much yesterday as I normally do, hope I'm not retaining! I definitely drank enough.

Feel a bit low as I pulled out of a party last night. Don't think I'm quite in the zone to resist nice things yet and know what 'oh just one won't do any damage' can lead to.

Well day 5, one day at a time, really hope I get that energy burst this time as for now I could sleep for the country!

There's a big packet of crisps and some chocolate cookies on the desk right in front of me. I can't stop staring at them!! But I resist

Big post n the minis app lost it

Anyway onto day 6, resisting the goodies in work was a challenge but got there!

Hope you're all having a good weekend

Once again surrounded by donuts, cookies and buttery toast. Mouths watering at it

When I did LL I used to sometimes have an extra bar whilst on nights, I always found it equalled out anyway as I'd normally miss a meal due to sleeping the following day. Xx

Well done :-)

Thank you


Found it really hard in work resisting all the goodies but got through. That may have been more to do with being busy than my willpower!

Onto day 7, feeling a bit dizzy, first time I've had that this time. Where's that bottle of water?

Onto day 8, feeling lighter but still determined not to weigh as I have a feeling I still weigh more than by heaviest in the past few years.
Last night I had quorn with a curry pack, was delicious. Shame I had no veggies in, would have made it even better.
Really really freeeeezing past few days, I know temperatures have dropped but I can feel the cold right through to my bones.
Had 750ml water and a cup of tea so far, hmmm might have a porridge cookie for breakfast. Decisions decisions

Just went for a 15 minute jog then walked for a bit. Found it quite easy actually but aware not to do too much as don't want my muscles wasting away. Will try build up to 5/6k then when I refeed I hope to do 10ks again.

Day 9

Went to bed last night and couldnt stop thinking about biting into a big bar of dairy milk, as in the big family sized bars with little squares. Why why why can't I crave healthy stuff like fruit and veg???
I wasnt physically hungry, was able to recognise that it was just emotional hunger which I guess is a good thing.
I am addicted to chocolate though, and I dont mean that as a little joke, I think its a proper addiction. I could easily eat loads of the stuff and not feel sick but enjoy every bite. I wish I could just enjoy one standard sized bar but one bite and I just want loads more.

Ideally when I get to maintenace I will eat and enjoy three decent meals a day with some healthy snacks, I always find maintenance so hard ( hence being here time and time again) but keep trying, dont give up!

I'm just waffling away to myself here I know.

Well....day 9. Have had 750ml water and a cup of tea so far . Leaving my packs til as late as possible as I want to have my protein/veg/pack together so it feels like I'm having a proper meal.

I dont want to set any aims or goals as usually as soon as I do that I get smug and give up. Again why??????? But I would really like to keep going until mid december when the xmas parties start. I'm just taking it a day at a time but have an idea of a treat I will get myself if I make it 100% til december. I just hope I can do it.

Well off to read more posts, hope you all have a good day x

Drinking some of the famous chocolate tea. A bit underwhelmed, smells better than it tastes. However I haven't added milk so may be a good way to increase fluids n save milk

Spoke too soon about the chocolate tea, it tasted more pleasant as I drank . Still prefer my normal tea with milk though
Just had quorn, veggies and a curry pack together, was really good! Like a proper meal!

What's chocolate tea?

I haven't seen you on here for a while - it's good to have you back.
