As the title of this post says, I failed! I tried to stick to Total Solution this week and managed it for one day. One other days, I ate one or two Atkins bars.
The thing is I don't know whether I was physically hungry (my stomach wasn't rumbling) or whether my brain was telling me that I wasn't eating enough food. I suspect it's a psychological thing. I couldn't stick to 3 packs per day.
I am going to try 3 packs per day with a low carb meal from now on. I have changed my goal weight from 10st to 10st 7 lbs because I feel like this is more realistic. It's given me a boost to see that I "only" need to lose another 18 lbs to get there (rather than having to lose another 25 lbs to get to 10st - was very demotivating!).
So I am still hanging in there diet-wise, just not on Total Solution!
Not sure what to expect on my weigh in on Friday. This week has been varied. I took day 1 off dieting. Days 2-5, I spent trying to do Total but cheated with Atkins bars some days. Day 6 & 7, I am going to have 3 packs and a low carb meal.
Hopefully I will still lose weight....
Hope you are all doing well this week!
PS: I have also been very emotional this week. My best friend of 18 years and I are no longer. We fell out officially today. I spent most of this morning in tears, but I am ok now. The break up was mainly due to me not spending enough time with her during my diet. I really needed time to myself to get my head together. It's sad, but it's over. :cry:
