About me, briefly I started early menopause at 39, before this my weight fluctuated between 8 1/2 to 9 stone even after I had my 4 daughters.
From 39 the weight was creeping up and my body shape was beginning to change.
Now 8 years later and 3 stone heavier, I am also Insulin Resistant and carry 3/4 of my bulk weight around my middle. So after a friend of mine who did LL, I decided to find the money and bite the bullet.
So my first official weigh in was 6 August.
day 1 2 3 4 were great, I wasnt hungry, drank 4 litres of water as a minimum, I didnt do a pop in as spoke to my counsellor and as I was happy with the foodpacks and was feeling great, she said If I was happy then leave it to the Monday nights WI, but if I need her just to ring.
Day 5!, awful, just awful, to cap it all I've got toothace which is dragging me down, its not unbearable, only feels worse drinking either hot/cold. I'm in the middle of treatment at the moment having a crown replaced, this different tooth shouldnt be painful as have just had them all checked! :cry:
The day got worse, for the first time I was hungry all day, despite drinking copious amounts of water, I was moody, snappy and took myself off to bed at 8pm!
So its DAY 6, tooth bearable, I've had a bar for brekkie, Its Sunday and am cooking lunch for family, and my stomach is gurgling for England!, I'm not hungry as such, I'm getting fed up with black coffee, I dont like teas of any kind, I would love a hot bovril, or some miso soup
.
Tomorrow is WI night, I'm nervous and excited at the same time.
I will update then.
Cheerio for now
