Guess whos back...
Well i am back again, been 2-3 months or so since i was last here and tried a restart down-under. I just couldnt get stuck into it last time around, i think all the stress of building a new life down-under just made it harder to focus on diet.
But here i be 4 days into SS on Optifast, i have the biggest goal any man could need, basically if i dont reduce my BMI by about 14 points by June then the lovely NZ immigration department will not grant me a visa extension and then i will have to return to ol Blighty (nothing against UK and you lovely guys, but i like it here you know!)
So its a bit of a mission, in fact i am not sure its possible to lose about 35kg+ in 5mths without dying :cry: But my hope is if i can lose as much as possible then maybe just maybe they throw me a bone come visa day..
Else i see you all for a beer back home.

Anyway i been on a restart of Optifast (easiest VLCD to get hold of in NZ) since Monday morning and although i have only faulted once (being 2 marmite sandwiches Monday night) and since then i stuck to my 3 shakes (only 3 on optifast) and my 4litres of water.
But even with the massive goal of staying in NZ being my motivation, i am sat here tonight looking at a $20 note thinking "well one takeaway more would make me feel better surely". As i had stinking headache for 3days and feel so tired i been in bed at 7pm each night, which is unprecedented for me. So feeling better would be nice eh.
Part of me even considers giving up on life in NZ just so i can enjoy the junk i usually eat!
i suppose its the 3-4 day pain barrier tricking my mind, i know last time i did this i felt fine after 6-7 days, its just getting through that barrier you know?
Ah well its good to be back with you guys and gals
