The Amazing Shrinking Misty Dee!!

[Misty Dee]

Pre-contemplation...

Let the painful end of eating real food commence...

Today I give up food...well solid food

Seems simple enugh.....I have proved my mettle and fought my demons, given up the dreaded ciggarettes and put years on my life....

Surely giving up solid food in favour of soups and shakes will be simple, I am after all, simply trying to save my life again and regain my collar bones....

I fully expect to be exceedingly hungry and if I lose the run of myself and inadvertantly salt, pepper and eat a small city I will brush the crumbs from my lips and soldier on....

Day 1 - week 1

This day was was ok if i ignore the mind numbing, excrutiating boredom. I hadnt realised that eating was a fun activity until I stopped...
Drinking shakes was pretty bland and I longed for cheese and onion crisps to break up my day....

Day 2

I feel sooooo good, strangely i feel like my my insides have been cleansed and I enjoyed my morning shake

Day 3

Water, water, everywhere....Drinking water is getting on my last nerve.... It's not enough that I am starving myself, I also have to fill myself fit to bursting with water and permanently take up residence in the loo to get it all back out again!! I really want to cut out the middle man and just pour the water directly in the loo

When i lose this weight i will slap myself silly if I even think about stuffing my face, because I am soooo not doing this again

Day 6

Arguing with myself....

Luckily, i'm still not feeling hungry but today I craved something delicious to pop in my mouth and chew.....chocolate, fried chicken, crisps anything firm and tasty....

I argued with myself....

ME: I want crisps
ME: You can't have any
ME: But I really, really want them
ME: Well you can't
ME: But I can almost taste them
ME: You can't have any because you are a fat lardy arse whose belly resembles a jelly
ME: Whose idea was this flipping diet?
ME: Yours...

AND I won......

Day 7

I may be hallucinating through food deprivation but i think my stomach may be flatter!! Is this wishful thinking manifesting as hallucintion or could this not eating solid food lark actually be working?!

First weigh In tomorrow....hoping for marvellous things....dropping the size of a small infant would be greatttt

 

[Misty Dee]

I completely forgot to say how i got here....

I long to blame my children for my weight gain, my ex husband or the universe but alas the blame is all mine....

When I had my son, in my late 20's I got back to a size 10 within months. The weight crept on a little but when i had my daughter, in my early 30's, I was back to a size 12 in months. Fast forward 16 years, to late 40's and I am now the proud owner of thighs that rub, chins that wobble and a belly that moves of its own accord even if i've just sat down....

13st 5lbs, 5ft 2 inch, 40F chest and round as a pound wearing size 14/16 at bottom and 20 on top....Not a good look

I have dieted before and lost small amounts but as soon as i get to just over a stone weight loss i begin to sabotage myself or get delusional and think i'm naturally slim so can eat what I like!!

I am very determined to get to target and I refuse to stop until I do, as despite my partner insisting that i shouldnt go to far and lose my curves, I know that he feels disappointed that I let myself down and that makes me feel disappointed....

I'm over excited and raring to go....can't wait to get into those skinny jeans and a C cup bra....

Day 8 - my first weigh In...

Yaaaay I lost half a stone....7lbs in one week makes the water ok....

Well done on the loss keep it up!

I feel your pain with the water. I find it very difficult to drink so much to the point where I have to constantly have a bottle of water within eye sight or I just forget! Then when I do remember I spend half the time in the loo. I know my body will thank me for it in the end though!

Hi Emphie

Thanks very much

I hear you, the loo is my mortal enemy and we're locked in combat morning till night.

I'm keeping a bottle near me too at all times on my desk as a paper weight and near my bed as a handy weapon for intruders....;-).

Yes I agree and hope "our bodies will thank" us in the end or I will definitely fall out with myself.

When is your first weigh in?

Ah, the benefits of a bottle of water are just endless!

I weighed in on Tuesday morning and had maintained. Quite disappointed with that as I stuck to plan for the whole week but nevermind. Keeping positive!
