Hi everyone
I started the cwp 6 days ago & had my first weigh in today, I lost 6.5lbs which I'm happy about. I thought I may lose more as I weighed a hefty 20st1.5 but hey it's 6.5lbs off I'm thinking it's probably the pizza i had the day before I started lol!
Well a little about me before I go on, I'm 34 (I just had to correct myself just then as I typed 33! Urgggh I'm feeling old & even forgetting how old I am lol) & had a baby girl 7 months ago who is fantastic & who is currently trying to escape off the sofa! Anyway, when I had her it was a particularly awful birth & had to have forceps delivery. This mucked up everything 'downstairs' & now have to have an operation to correct it I think the op will be in January sometime so I've got about 6 months to lose some weight. I need to lose weight because it's pretty damn dangerous to have anaesthetic when being so obese & basically I don't want to die!
In my life I've tried all types of diets, weightwatchers, slimming world, slim fast & calorie counting. Some of which have been successful but I have always ended up putting the weight back on This time I need to lose it & keep it off!
So that got that out of the way! On to the actual cwp! I've found it reasonably easy this time,yes I've done it probably 5-6 time before The first attempt, I managed to get past the first week (on step 2), all the others I failed at the first hurdle! I think this time I'm in the right frame of mind & am doing it for the right reason.
The one thing I do find difficult is drinking enough water, I tend to forget, so went & bought a brita optimax water filter for the fridge, mmmm icy cold water. I got it the other day & filled up the whole 8.5 litres & popped it in the fridge to chill. Came back later to get some water, to a drenched carpet & an empty brita filter! It had a crack in it! The whole 8.5 litres had soaked into the carpet, eeeep! Good job we had a vax carpet cleaner to suck it up, but I was still squelching in bare feet for a day lol! Anyway I got my new one today (crack free!) So fingers crossed I'll stick to guzzling my water from now on!
I've been rambling on & boring everyone a bit too much now, so I'll be off for the time being, toodlepip
