Hello
I'm skint_chick I joined Minimins because I started Exante TS on Weds and have a long journey to lose half my body weight
. I can't be this weight anymore because I am miserable being overweight. I'd really love to do sports and adventure activities but I'm too heavy for some of them and although I'm reasonably fit the extra weight is causing a huge strain on my body.
I want to be able to buy clothes I like not just clothes that fit. I want my husband to be proud when he sees me. Most of all I want to have children and we can't conceive because of my weight. So I'm doing this!
I started on Weds, so far I like all the shakes and soups and both the bars are really tasty. I'm finding it quite easy to manage - bar for breakfast divided up to keep me going til shake lunch then a bit more bar for afternoon snack then soup for dinner. I had already started drinking a lot more water because I gave up diet Coke - I had a coke zero on Thurs and found it made me hungry and had to have dinner early so going to try and avoid it unless I really have to.
I like the drink flavourings the blackcurrant one is just like Ribena. I still have lunch and dinner with others because I have to control my eating for life so I think it's important for me to be able to deal with the smell and sight of other food. I even went to the supermarket today for bottled water. I'm not missing or craving food - probably because before starting this I was eating so much I was regularly sick or had bad stomach acid and now I don't I don't feel hungry just satisfied. I am looking forward to making better food choices in the future and am half way through Dr Beck's book. I've never had this much determination or self control so I thought I'd write this for those days when I just can't do it anymore and feel weak and want to give in.
