Hi everyone
on day 4 of LLT and it hasn't been bad actually. Had my pop in weigh in last night and i lost 2.2kg (5lbs)... not bad but i am hoping to have lost at least 12lbs come monday night (end of day 7).
Until i started on LLT, i have never had porridge, soup or milkshake... i just hated the look of it. how ironic that i am now on a diet that consist mainly the things i hate... it shows how desperate i am to loss the 88lbs of weight that is making my life a misery.
Day 1: had porridge (almost threw up) and 2 shakes ... that all i could manage. I have to say, the shakes (strawberry and vanilla) are lovely esp. if you make it thick.
Day 2: had porridge (better experience than day 1), 2 shakes and a soup (did not finish it )
Day 3, had my porridge (its tasting nice now, yippy!), and 2 shakes.
Drinking water as much as i need but when i feel dizzyness coming on, i just top up on water.
Occasionally, i have thought about food and eating it but i stop and think... if i leave LLT now, what am i going back to? do i want to go back to breathlessness, lack of self confidence, not enjoying my family life to the full, potentially not seeing my children get married? these thoughts kept me going and i hope, pray and believe these thought will see me through to a lighter new me.
Ladies, we truly can do this, we have seen evidence from other people on this site... they are no different from us... they don;t have any "super powers" but they took a day at a time. That is what i am doing too.
Roundracheal (more like slim racheal to me!) well done, you look fantastic.
Nikki10, make the porridge/shakes etc to a consitency you like... it may take you a few days to get the mixing right, so don't worry
Mummytwo.. the 15th is only around the corner... how exciting! looking forward to sharing your experiences with us
Have a great week and remember that what we need to succedd is already in us
