Apologies for the catchy title and NO its not a rant/moan post, I am in fact starting out on my dieting journey and am hoping to dispel that myth by keeping em laughing as I go.
This is my first post on here however I have been reading about the various diets for over a month, I have been trying to find the most practical and suitable for me. This has been very difficult as I have read and seen SO many inspirational posts and photos.... this is like the "Sweet Shop of The Dieting World"..... Ooops, did I say Sweets!! (Rule Broken Already)
Ok, no more mentions of food for a while because from now on I am dedicated to the SHAKE. This post will bring you up o today with my diet story so it will be long (I'm on Day 4), please bare with me as they will be shorter in the future.
As I said. I have considered ALL the diets mentioned on this site but decided on Lipotrim as the Key to me being successful is the ability to completely shut off from food and the thought of food. I would also need a support arm to keep me on track and the weekly trip to the pharmacy to weigh in added a level of expectation and accountability that I felt would benefit me without feeling like I HAD to lose a set amount ect ect. The thought process was that I would switch food off, report to the chemist every Saturday to "Weigh-In" and finally i'd use this forum to focus my challenge.
So I will use this thread if it is OK to report on my progress and hopefully it will help me to focus so the diet and give me a place to share my experiences, worries and hopefully successes.
Here in a Nut Shell (Did someone mention food again, it wasn't me!), is my first 3 Days....
Day 1 (Saturday) - Weigh In - 18st 6
I choose Vanilla and Strawberry shakes with a view to having the Vanilla for Breakfast and the Strawberry for dinner (The plan was to stick at this 100% and not touch the soups or flapjacks). I found the initial weigh in and visit to the chemist was an exciting one as it was like a real start to something great. They explained everything and gave me my initial drink selections without being overpowering, it gave me confidence that i want to impress them week in week out with my success.
I went home and fired up my new blender that i bought in preparation (A tiny cost that was written off by the Monday with zero takeaways being purchased) for this and I had my Vanilla Shake........ HMMMM it was ok, in the sense of not great ok but not YUK ok. I would need to do some work on that if i was going to be drinking that for the next 50years!
I began the watering routine and purchased loads of bottles of water to make sure there was one in every room so I had no excuses..... The one in the garage may stay full for a while but I cant risk it
In the evening I had my 2nd shake and another 192 million liters of water over the course of the evening and I felt fine.
Day 2 (Sunday) - Weight (about 3 hours..... Sorry, that was the wait everyone in the house had with me in the toilet.. Weeeeeeeee)
I was a bit jittery but as a huge Coffee lover i guessed this was going to happen....
I made my Vanilla Shake but this time i thought i would add a tea spoon of coffee to it as i saw that black coffee was ok......... IT WAS DELICIOUS! It was like some expensive Mocha that you would need a bank loan for at your high street coffee shop.... and it helped with the caffeine withdrawals. Now this i could have for 50 years.....
Lots more water, 2 black coffees and my Strawberry shake and the day was done. I had a bit of a back ache at night that was unusual for me.... I read the net and it said dehydration so drink more water.... Ok... That's me on 298 million liters now.... Web Doctors orders!
Day 3 (Monday) - If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning.............
I woke up with THE WORST HEADACHE IN THE WORLD! When I say "The World", I can confirm that I contacted headache representatives on ALL the continents asking for their report on any daily headache epidemics and they all reported zero activity or nothing out of the ordinary however in my house someone had mixed Rock, Heavy Metal, Rave and added it to a Dub Step Track (Whatever that is, I heard some kid mention it once on the X-Factor) and played the CD on FULL volume in my skull.... ALL DAY! OUCH!
I took a painkiller and consulted the net... DRINK MORE WATER.... Ok... 392 Million Liters today for me! I search Ebay to see if there was such a thing as a "Flood Gate" for the domestic Toilet because with all this water being drunk they are set to REALLY Open.
I had my shakes and persevered at work with a few black coffees and another painkiller and went to bed with the headache there but not giving any pain.... I also had the slight back ache as well again.... More Water? Not Today thanks or my bladder will be asking for a divorce on the grounds of Expanding Circumstances.
Day 4 (Tuesday) - TODAY........ Shhhh, keep the noise down in case the headache is just sleeping.
HEADACHE GONE!
I woke up, had my shake (with coffee of course) YUMMMM....
Today I decided to join here and post my story so far..............
So this is me and my journey so far, I will keep updating it if it is ok. Thank you for all your inspirational stories and testimonials, I have read SO MANY and it gave me the confidence and belief that the great things can be done with the right mind set.
My only goal in all of this...... Is to keep my sense of humour and maybe lose a bit of weight in the process.
Thanks for reading....
