Hi everyone, so I stumbled on this forum last week and basically think you are all amazing. I never thought I’d actually post here but you all seem so friendly and supportive and I could use some of that.
I’m pretty addicted to seeing the success pages and as I'm new to the whole 1200 calorie diet the forum has really helped educate me a bit.
Ok so the basics about me, I like to rant as you can probably tell.
Apart from that I'm 20 and a student, could do with losing a bit of weight. (Ok not really so much a bit) I think I pretty much went on a crash diet since Xmas where I started eating much less than I should (800 cal max) and I lost some weight, no idea how much (had a bit of a scale phobia back then cause I felt huge) but now the scale has been pretty much staying the same for weeks and I want to start eating healthily and normally again.
Now the idea of eating 1200 calories which I have only so far did for two days makes me feel rather sick and that I’m over eating ( I get that's because of the silly way I ate before).
It's possible though to still lose weight if your eating more than normal isn't it? I want to eat the correct amounts without fear I've screwed my metabolism up.
Yesterday though we were redecorating the living room so my food intake was a disaster a chip butty (admittedly 8 chips max but with cheese and ketchup too) for tea and a cheese and onion pasty for lunch but I ate fruit in between and drank water and fruit juice but yes it wasn't a great day.
There is a long way to go but i'm motivated and determined no point dragging the extra weight around with me for a few more years!
