Diary of silencemylips - lets get on this!

I don't think you look awful in the before photos - you want to see mine - I look like a monster! I imagine that it must be hard working in the beauty industry and carrying extra weight. You clearly can do it so I reckon you'll be looking pretty slim in the summer! good luck
 
Hi Daisy,
Thanks, I just feel so uncomfortable and fat compared to friends and colleagues. I also carry a lot of weight on my arms, bum and thighs, and that in clothes, never mind out of clothes is monstrous! I'm hoping I'll be well on my way to the 10s by the end of summer, thanks again :)
 
So tonight I had another omelette, hopped in the bath filled with Jo Malone pomegranate noir oil, and now I'm just chilling with my cinnamon and sugar (smells AMAZING!) candle and my final shake (chocolate blended with ice). Feel really relaxed and good.

Just have a little more water to drink, I've been a little slow with water today.

Bring on day 3!!! I'm heading to an all day spa with my mam for her birthday treat, should be nice.

Ooh lovely pampering x
 
DAY 3

On the verge on crying today. Not due to the diet, because I think I'm well on my way to ketosis and I had a cheeky step on the scales this morning, which showed a 5lb loss already, so I'm over the moon about that. I'm just having a nightmare with my pay, which came to me with a big fat £0 as I'd been off sick due to a bad foot injury. So I'm a little worse for wear wondering how I'm going to live for the next month, thank god I still had some of my student loan left. Anyway, I'm off to eat my porridge and get ready for a spa day with my mam. Oh & I may possibly be going for a meal with the parents for my mam's birthday, I'm making special requests of a small green chicken salad, this does not sound exciting when thinking of all the food options and alcohol.
 
Hey, firstly congrats on the loss but be careful with the sneaky wi - they can be as bad as good for motivation! Sorry to hear about your wages, always a bummer wehn stuff like that happens :( x
 
I don't think I'll be weighing myself again till my official wi, would love it to be a surprise, hoping its gonna be over 5 now, haha!
Thanks, you're such a great support!

Spent the day flittering between a steam room, sauna, jacuzzi and swimming pool, it's been lovely (despite being in a bikini in front of people!) and relaxing and has kept me away from food temptation. My meal tonight consisted of tuna, prawns and celery cooked together with a herb/spices rub and a green leaf salad, pretty damn tasty and felt filling. Just finishing off my last shake and drinking extra water to compensate what I've lost.

I feel like I'm doing okay so far!
 
You know, it's funny how you don't realise things until you're doing something about your weight. For example, I just discovered that I have back fat today, yet when ignoring my weight gain I hadn't noticed it at all! Need to get rid!

I have one too :( Didn't notice it until I was having a cuddle off my son and he squeezed them!! We'll soon be rid! x

Yum sounds great x well done on another great day x
 
DAY 4


Day freakin 4, get in! Just 3 more days till weigh in! I've had cappuccino blended with ice this morning which was like a fake frappacino, so good stuff, and I mixed a vanilla shake with hot coffee, not so much of a fan - in fact it made me feel a bit sick. Not greatly feeling hungry but going to make my meal of chicken, broccoli and mushroom and finish it off with an ice cream chocolate tetra.
I just want this fat gone, quickly! Shame can't rub a genie lamp and wish my chub away!

It'll have flown by when you're looking back at the old you!! Well done. You're half way to an awesome wi x keep it up x
 
Thank you :) yes over the hump of the week, bring on Sunday.

I feel like I'm having negative thoughts at the minute. Depressive ones, not ones about food, but at thinking how long this is going to take. So I keep needing to turn it all around and think that this is better than doing nothing and staying this weight or even worse, gaining.
It's hard, really hard. Feels like I have some sort of pressure or annoyance within me when I'm fighting these thoughts. Sound slightly crazy, I must admit but has to be said and vented out!

Ice cream chocolate tetra? Wow that sounds amazing! So u freeze them?
 
Yep freeze the tetras for a few hours, much better and has texture so doesn't just feel like another drink.

We all get those hun. But the time will fly by xxx
 
I know what you mean. It's a constant fight to stop yourself thinking about how much you have ahead of you- especially for us as we're so early on! But I am literally taking it a week at a time and if you really feel like you're struggling after a week then you can have a week on a higher step and then go back. I understand though, it can be really hard to stay positive.

It really is, but like you said we've just got to think about it week by week. That or be defeated and not get to our targets.
