Hi Ladies,
It is amazing Dawn how there are so many like-minded people out there, but all we seem to face are the takers. I have friend who is quite willing to take from me but never gives, it is amazing that when the food smog has been removed, things and people are seen in their true selves. This friend has always been slim and gone on through life taking advantage of her looks. When I lost my weight in 2009, she really didn't like it that my arms were thinner than hers. After being obese all my adult life, you would think that she would be really proud; she was but also jealous (?)
Hey Dawn I forgot to ask how you got on after your extra half a bar. I had an extra bar on Sunday; I am never doing that again. The carb cravings and ill-feelings me and my OH had were not nice. He felt emotional (!) and I was full of rage. I am thankfully still in ketosis but the thought of another bar kicking me out is just not worth it.
I have a friend's birthday bash on a barge in a few weeks. She wants me to drink, not heavily, but have a few drinks with her. I know that there are massive side effects of drinking in ketosis but I am thinking coke zero and vodka. Wine is a definite no no; if I drink during the day I feel really bad. A couple of vodkas and coke zero shouldn't be too bad, so long as they are weak lol!!!
I have been looking at outfits today on the net. I have seen a lovely cord jacket in a deep tan colour. I have got my party outfits ready in the loft, from 2009. Has anyone else swopped their food for clothing or daydreaming of the clothes that they will fit into when the weight loss is completed?
Although I have done LL and CD, I can truly say that I didn't feel this good on those plans. Therefore, I find that I have a lot of initiative in the evening, rather than sitting and watching TV. I am actually looking forward to getting small tasks done in the evening and in September I am hoping t get my study books out and finish my postgraduate diploma. I have also had a business idea which, I have toyed with for years and now it has all become clear. Is the clarity another benefit of this plan?
On a more concerning note though, has anyone wondered what to do when this plan is finished? How will we maintain our weight loss? I know I said this in 2009, but I really don't want to be this fat and frumpy again.
Anyway, my rambling has finally come to an end.
Hope you are all okay? Thanks for listening xx
