Im on day 11 and so so miserable - not having an "off" day - I just hate this diet. Ive felt like this since day one really and keep waiting for it to get better - but its not. Im feel really down, really miserable - Im doing my best not to show that at home though, because its not fair on everyone else - this is my choice.
Im so lethargic, Im USELESS, I have to battle with myself to get up and do the simpleist of tasks - just day to day running of the home. My house is really suffering (and I normally HAVE to have an orderly, clean house).
Im not doing this long term - I've said before in my diary that I am in complete awe at the sheer determination, self control and will power of those who are - I would consider myself and others would consider me to be very determined but I have to admit I could never, ever do this long term. I think some of you out there are truely fabulous. An example. I played with the idea (In the first day of LT I think) of coming back on it and doing it for the month of July - to loose all remaining weight but I will never put myself through this complete torture again. Never. Ive said it before I feel like this is the most sadist form of punishment I could ever inflict on myself.
I am in ketosis - FINALLY hit it on day EIGHT, which was so hard because I expected it by day 4/5. Im not exactly hungry (sometimes) but just so low. I said I would do this 100% tfr for 3 weeks and 3 days and then 7 days refeed (then I've a wedding) and being as stubborn as I am, I know I will, its not a choice - Im going to do it. 11 days in - 15 to go. I am counting the days constantly. I go over it a couple of times every day. Im completely wishing the time away which is so so sad as my baby is so small - I feel like Im wishing away his life and Im wishing away my lovely maternity leave.
Im completely unsociable - I cant go ANYWHERE, not only because of food but because I feel so crap and tired. I dont want to have to think of excuses as to why Im not eating etc.. because I know that most will think Im nuts for doing this and if Im honest, I think I would agree. If I did this long term my kids and husband would suffer.
I know this is desperately negative. Im sorry. I dont want to put down the diet or anyone who is/ has done it and I dont want to put a newbie off trying. Its just me. I have seen with my own eyes the astounding transformation people have accomplised through LT, completely life changing for the better. These people are obviously better than I am. It does work - that has been proven time and time again. This is just my personal experience and I've seen others cope brilliantly with it, expressing a new feeling of happiness, well being and energy so dont take my rubbish on board.
I just havent seen anyone despair over it as much as I have so I MUST be in the minority.
LT works for many, Calorie counting works for others and so on... I think ww is for me..
Im sorry again. 15 (well 14.5) days and counting..........
