Hello, I decided to start refeedng today as since my weigh in on weds my weight has just not moved, i'm not sure if it's because this time on lipotrim i dont have as much to lose as before but i have been so hungry the last few days and couldnt deal with the light headedness and faints and feeling hungry and not losing anymore even though i'd been 100%.
I realise i dont just want to be slim, i want to get my fitness back after my botched operation last summer and the main programme was just not giving me enough strength to do this. I've lost just over a stone which has taken me nicely into the 10's which is the kick up the bum and confidence booster i needed. So i'm refeeding today and hoping it doesnt all pile back on again but in fact keeps going down!
I'm out of the 'obese' category and just 'overweight' now lol and i've got a way to go before i am in a 'healthy' weight bracket - 10.9 down to 9 st 7 (16lbs) which I'm not going to lose as quickly on maintenance but i wasnt really losing anymore anyway and would rather have more energy to exercise than sit there wasting away!
so here goes.
refeed day 1 so far I have had:
vanilla shake with coffee
later i plan to have:
maintenance bar
4oz chicken and small salad.
today i am going to buy some small bowls as i think smaller portions will be easier this way and are certainly the way forward- going to aim towards 6 small meals!
Things I want to focus on while i get back in to food are:
Not eating late at night (ie not eating right before bed/ getting out of bed to eat)
keep glugging loads of water, this really does help weight loss and feeling good either way you look at it.
keeping up exercise at home- skipping, toning and running/swimming when I can.
not 'rewarding' myself with food, especially on a friday evening- it is not the answer to my problems.
stop scoffing food on my own. if i cant eat it in front of my daughter then i shouldnt be eating it at all- bring any treats out into the open rather than them remaining my guilty personal secret.
take as much care with my eating as i take with my daughters as i give her healthy sized portions, healthy snacks and occasional treats to always eat at the table with her instead of slouching on the sofa.
to not look foward to an evening on my own just so i can scoff bad food, have started reading again- continue this good behaviour and look at other ways (meditation/ reading/ practising music) to reward myself rather than food.
there's more but that will do for now!
