Hello MiniMins!
I started the Exante TS in January 2015 and despite a few mishaps here and there, I went from 15 stone to 12 stone and was pretty pleased with that! I'll be honest, I didn't stick to it 100% and I know that in the four months that I was on the diet, I could have lost another stone, but I felt happy at 12 stone and looked and felt so much better and at the time, that was enough for me.
My goal weight was and still is 10 stone. Part of me feels a little bit annoyed with myself for not just getting on with it and doing it! I actually managed to keep the 3 stone off for over a year and was eating pretty normally and not denying myself anything. Unfortunately, quite a lot of stuff has happened this year and I went back to old and terrible habits of eating junk food and takeaways. At my last weigh I had put just over a stone on in just 2 months. It could well be a little more now since I hid the scales.
However, I am back on TS and am determined to make it to 10 stone this time. One thing that really did help last time was posting in here. Even if nobody reads my diary, it helps to write it down! I intend to stick to TS 100% for 100 days which theoretically should get me to my goal. I have decided that for me, it's all psychological and I need to once again change my mentality about food, so I have decided not to weigh myself for 4 weeks so that the weight isn't an issue. I am still a size 14 (just!) but some of my clothes have become a little uncomfortable, so I will just mentally accept that I don't eat food and will use diversion tactics if I need to (tetris on my phone has become incredibly useful!) and once I fit into my skinny jeans once more without having to bend back double to do up the zip, I will start weighing myself and recording my weekly weight loss!
This site was a godsend to read last time and feel very lucky that there are so many of us on the same road! I have just completed day 3 and actually feel totally fine! As before, I leave my first shake of the day as late as possible, around 3pm and then have one at 6pm and one at 9pm and it works. So far none of the headaches and nausea I had in the first week last time, I just have to not give in to the mental temptation of eating!
Does anyone else find that the food never tastes as good as you dream it will when you crave it!?
