Hey!
I am currently on refeed but started this diet 14 weeks ago like all you guys, nervous, anxious, excited, sad, happy & all the other emotions I am sure your all feeling. I first started the diet because I wanted to slim down to be a size 14 for my holiday which I'm due to go on at the end of July. Baring in mind at the start of this diet I was in size 18-20 clothing I didn't get my hopes up too much and had no faith in myself, I didn't believe it would work and I didn't believe I could stick to it 100% - but I did and it paid off. I took this week by week and didn't set myself any harsh goals, some weeks I lost 7lbs, others I only lost 2-3lbs but the way to look at small losses is "at least that's 2lbs off and not 2lbs on!". It can and will be a huge roller-coaster for all of you, I know I was moody and snappy at times, my happy day was always a Monday (weigh in day). I know what helped me in the first week was plenty of water and plenty of sleep, I kept myself as busy as possible during meal times for my family and luckily enough I didn't have to do a lot of cooking so that really helped. I kept busy by taking a bath, painting my nails, reading my Kindle, being on the internet and being on HERE, this site helped me a lot and I have a lot to thank it for and the people who share their stories here. I couldn't believe I completed 13 weeks of this diet and I'm nearly 4 stone down thanks to it. It is AMAZING!! Believe me.. once you've had your first weigh in that will be all the inspiration you will need to carry on with your journey. Good luck to you all x x x
I also found reading lots of mags helped! seeing other girls look good and glamourous in their bikinis is incentive for me! This might not be for everyone though. Keep going both of u! Imagine how u will feel at that finish line! X
