going to do it!!!!
hi there everyone ,
i have probs done every diet known to man and i have lost weight on a couple of them, ww and ll but have never been able to maintain my weight![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
i have been tryind to do cd after reading of all those who are doing so well on it.
i did it last week and managed 6 out of 7 days and lost 9lb which i was thrilled about but after having half hearted attempts since aug i only manage to do 9 days before i binge and then im back to square one!! cd works and fast and im not saying anything bad about it but for me its just too hard to stick to.
im a mum to 4 boys aged 15, 11 and 2&half year old twins and i want to be able to sit down with them and eat a meal and not sit there with my cd drink.
ive been thinking all weekend about swapping to atkins and had a right diet dilemma as i want the quick weight loss but i want to be a good example to my kids!!
anyway this morning the decision was made for me as one of the twins went in the cupboard and got out one of my drinks and said'mammy, heres your breakfast!!!' i was GUTTED and so i know that fate has played a part in this diet as i feel i cant carry on with cd as i want the children to grow up with the right attitude towards food.
So today is day one of my atkins journey, i have decided that it doesnt matter how long it takes me to get there, i just have to do it. i started 2009 with good intentions of losing weight and by messing around i ended 2009 2lb heavier!!!!!
i need to go shopping today and have written a list of what i need to buy but any suggestions would be helpful, tips etc.
so , so far today i have had,
3 slices of streaky bacon(fried)
2 scrambled eggs made with butter and cream.
5 cherry tomatoes
2 cups of decaff coffee(1 with cream)
does this seem ok??
hope it is as it feels like heaven eating like this after not eating ( although i did love the choccy cd shakes)
going to try and drink lots of water today as well.
sorry for such the long post ,
Jo xx
