Hi all. I've been reading your posts and I am so motivated by your successes. I want to be on week 12 having lost four stone too. Thanks for making it seem possible for me.
I did this diet about three years ago and found it brilliant. I messed it all up by not sticking with it until I got to my target. Then about six months after refeeding my neice passed away (a baby) and I was really upset. I ate for comfort and thought What Harm?. In fairness eating did comfort me and food has been my friend for many years. I always thought that it didnt matter - that at least it was only food I was putting in my mouth - not alcohol or drugs. But lately I see the damage that food is doing to me. I find it hard now to get up the stairs. I can't get down to pick things up off the floor. i am tired all the time. I want to sit watching TV and the thought of exercise - well I think I'd have a heart attack if I tried to exercise such is the state I am in. I never thought that I would eat myself immobile but I have - one mouthful at a time. It wouldnt take that much more before I would just stay in bed all day. My bones hurt. My muscles hurt. I ache if I change the bed sheets. i have three small kids and I can't be an active mother to them. I need to change my habits. I need to lose weight and set a good example for them.
So here goes. Day one. A choc shake and a soup down and a vanilla before bed. I feel good. I am making a change TODAY.
