Go Lower food for sale...
Dear all,
First & foremost, well done Chrissie & others on your incredible weight-loss achievements, you must be so pleased. Keep up the good work!
:angel09:
By way of introduction, my name is Turi. Like you Chrissie, I also signed up to the Go Lower program. Unfortunately, however, I am not doing so well...
:sigh:.
To give you a bit of history, I used to suffer from Bulimia and Anorexia for nearly 10 years and have been 'clean' for 2 years. I would say I now eat healthily and have a very balanced attitude towards eating/size and what not. I went onto Go Lower upon a friend's suggestion as I wanted to literally lose 4-5 hard-to-shift pounds so that I could squeeze myself back into thosejeans that have been under the bed for who knows how long!
So, I signed up... I should mention at this point that I eat fish but do not eat meat so I was told to spread my month's supply of food over 6 weeks supplementing the program with my own high-protein, low-carb meals.
I don't know if it was the lack of options - I've realised that Go Lower is not well suited to non meat-eaters - or the lack of fruit of which I normally snack on a lot but I've failed... miserably! Last night I ate ALL my chocolate nuts and raspberries - snacks that Go Lower provides for a once-every-other-day treat. I woke up this morning with knots in my stomach at the prospect of returning to unhealthy and damaging eating habits.
:break_diet:
That said, my friend is loving the program and since I started my sister signed up & is also loving it. The food is delicious but perhaps it's just not suitable for people who like to eat some sweet things that may be higher in carbs.
So, bearing in mind my history I have decided to sell the remainder of my food. I have spoken to Go Lower this morning & they are going to get back to me as to whether they will refund the remaining food. They also suggested this website to me as a fantastic resource so I thought I would add a post to test the waters...
Anyway, the food I have remaining is as follows:
10 granola breakfasts
10 snacks (mix coconut bars, raspberry bars and nuts/seeds)
10 broccoli & stilton soups
10 mushroom soups
5 quorn bolonaise
7 'chicken' (tofu) coconut curries (my fave!)
7 prawn curries
0 chocolate treats
The retail value of these items would be £137. If anyone is interested, please feel free to put an offer in for them! I do hope that my post hasn't been discouraging to those of the diet... like I said, I think it's perfect for some people and the food is yummy (especially aforementioned chocolate treats!).
I hope to hear from you soon,
Turi x
