And so it begins...

day 1: started off ok. Am feeling unusually scared for some reason. I think because I want to lose this weight so badly and I'm scared it will all go wrong. Must think positive!

Had 1 litre of water already, along with a choc tetra. Am not looking forward today, but at least I'm out doing home visits this afternoon (I'm a social worker) which should keep my mind off things. Will have to keep refusing the drinks and cakes people try to give me!

Wishing you all happy, positive thoughts. Wish me luck on my road to ketosis!

[Gemma79]

well day 1 almost over, not been too bad. Drank 2.5 litres of water and got a bit of a headache but nothing i can't deal with. Feeling pretty positive and looking forward to watching this weight drop off!

Happy thoughts all xoxox

Well done on getting to the end of Day 1! I could have written your first post myself, I was terrified when I first started I think for similar reasons. Don't be afraid, believe in yourself, you can do it.

[fatgirl666]

hey well done you 6lb proper fantastic.

and your doing great looking after your babe alone its tuff but your managing well. Take a well earned break when hubby gets home

 

[Gemma79]

well it's day 14 tomorrow and my 2nd weigh in. I'm feeling really down and wanting to eat something, anything!! I have been having chicken and green veg or salad most evenings this week but it just doesn't seem to be satisfying my food cravings. I've been thinking about WW or SW or even atkins, anything that allows me to eat but I know deep down those diets last a few weeks, lose a few pounds and then back to square one. I've started this now and I really want to lose around 3 stone but just not sure I can make it. Help!

 

[MsJMC]

Yes , any diet will be the same , best to keep going on this one , soon be over you see !
Find something to think about like looking good and feeling great , that will outweigh the pain , diets any are not easy . Come on you can do this !

 

[Gemma79]

thanks MsJMC - well WI today and 5lb lost, I'm pretty pleased with that and know that on any other diet I would have stayed the same or even put on this week!

Head down now and time to get back on track with a positive mental attitude!!! Also got bars now yum yum

Happy slimming all

 

[fatgirl666]
