New diary fresh start! Woohoo!
I have been doing Slimming World on and off for the last 18+ months, but have now decided I need a break from it. I got completely stuck in a rut and just wasn't losing any weight and it was really starting to have a negative effect on me.
A couple of weeks ago I tried a LCD (All about W8) for just over a week. It was tougher than I was expecting and I just felt awful ALL the time. The energy boost never kicked in for me even though I was in ketosis and following the diet 100%. I did manage to lose 7lbs in the one week, which was a fantastic confidence boost for me, but I decided that 1 week of torture was enough!! These LCDs are now no longer an unknown though, so as much as the fast weight loss is tempting, I now know it is definitely not for me.
So here I am on day 3 of my new 'diet'. This one is just me myself and I. No slimming clubs or strict diet plans, just plan and simple healthy eating and exercise! I am calorie counting, eating lots of fruit and veg, reducing carbs, drinking lots of water and exercising every day. And 2011 WILL be the year I reach my goal weight.
I am also working my way through the Beck book, which is going well so far. Trying to fast track through the first 2 pre diet weeks at the moment, as obviously I have already started my diet. Hopefully this will help me to change my psychological attitude towards food.
HUGE ramble, but I am feeling extremely positive and focused at the moment. I really feel like this is the way I'm going to be able to lose weight properly and keep it off for good. Just going back to basics and doing it the healthy way. Oh, and not fixating on what the scales say every week!
