Typical lifelong dieter here... But this time it's for real!
Always been a bit on the heavier side and have tried a few diets over the years - Slim Fast, poor college student, Diet Chef and Weight Watchers to name a few - with varying degrees of success. I usually have more motivation to lose weight when I am involved in a sport, but have been really struggling for the last year to recover from a broken leg and have been more sedate than I have ever been in my entire life. Of course my inability to heal is compounded by the extra 100 or so pounds I am carrying, so it's time to do something about it not only so I can walk into any shop on the high street and find jeans that fit, but so I can comfortably go about my daily life!
So. Here we go. My mother lost 50 or so pounds on Jenny Craig last year in America, and so I decided to try it for myself since we have similar body types and habits. I ordered the food and dabbled in it at the end of April before I flew off to get married (because my dress was almost too tight!) but have just now properly began again.
First week is going really well! Snuck a peek at the scale this morning and have lost 3 pounds which is super motivating. I have not been hungry yet, and am actually finding it hard to eat as often as I am supposed to. I ate out last night, but had a healthy salad that followed JC proportions perfectly, and a glass of white wine. I think the hardest bit of this is going to be saying no to cider at the pub on these sunny days we have been having!
Thanks for reading and wish me luck! First real weigh in is on Monday...
