So, one month into my journey and I'm feeling quite low so I've decided to start a diary on here to motivate myself.
My regime is:
Mon-Saturday: 1200 cals, 1 hour of swimming, 30 mins walking.
Sunday: No exercise, ~ 1400 cals.
In the first few weeks I lost 11lbs and was very pleased, but for the last week it has STS and I'm becoming frustrated and de-motivated (already ). Sometimes I give in and go over my 1200 by having a few chocolate Hobnobs or some toast, but I'm still swimming all the time and I set myself a goal to lose 3lbs this week. When I see no change on the scales despite my swimming I get angry and weigh myself every couple of hours, and it ruins my mood for the rest of the day. Also thinking about goal is painful, how many stones I have left to go, why I let myself get like this, etc, etc. I'm just feeling fed up.
Today I've eaten some beans on toast, a pear, and chicken with mushrooms, green beans and peas. It comes to about 780 calories and I'm so angry that I'm not allowing myself to have anymore. I feel like I need to compensate for the STS. Hopefully when I weigh again on Sunday I will have lost a few lbs and be feeling better! Sorry for the moaning. I don't know what's wrong with me.
I've also realised that I don't drink enough - it's 10.15pm and I've had half a pint of water all day. Going to have another drink and go to bed I think.
