Suppose I just want to spread my motivation about a bit - to anyone thinking of starting. I'd love if people could add why their loving this so much too as I think it'll be helpful for all of us.
I appreciate that I'm only on day 4 so perhaps the novelty will wear off BUT, if it's true that it's going to get even easier then this will be brilliant.
In addition to the obvious - the fat just melting off, the health and self esteem benefits as a consequence, im also thinking that this will be the healthiest I'll feel and the best I'll look for a long time because:
The amount of water I'm drinking will enviably clear out my skin and do wonders for my complexion and hair.
To keep myself occupied and a way from the fridge at night, in spending much more time upstairs taking long baths, moisturising, painting my nails, conditioning my hair - I'm planning on a complete self transformation - growing my nails, getting hair in better nick etc as the weight falls off.
Im starting to have early nights and plenty of rest (which I never have) as if I'm finding it hard I pop myself off to bed. My house has never been so tidy (as I'm trying to keep busy and occupied and away from food), as a result my children and husband are benefitting from a lovely organised home.
I keep thinking about how great I'll feel when I hit the next stone or size down which, let's face it, on this diet is only ever a few short weeks away. I keep thinking about how excited I'll be every weigh day. I keep thinking of people's reactions. I keep thinking I won't be an embarrassment to my kids at the school gate, I keep thinking of the positive affect this will have on my marriage - my low confidence and feeling crap about myself do pose a negative one.
All this and in half the time I would have expected on any other diet. Regardless of how much any of us have to loose it's just a few short months out of your ENTIRE life - a drop in the ocean really. And obviously, it's not like life is on hold during those months as each week you will be drastically changing and transforming into a more fabulous version of yourself.
