Well, I was here protesting how I was gonna start calorie counting and be thin again & saying how fed up I was of being fat etc etc about 2 months ago, maybe less.. but I went AWOL again & didn't put action into my words and carried on with my unhealthy ways. Luckily, I haven't gained any weight since then, so I'm still at 15.7 stone.
I've been battling with myself on what diet to do & what road to follow and getting really frustrated with it all at the same time - there's so many diets out there that it is difficult to decide what path is the best for me.
I did choose to follow slim & save again, as I wanted the quick fix and to be thin asap, so I ordered two weeks worth of products which will now go to waste.. I don't know who I was kidding when I thought I could follow a VLCD, I may sustain it for a few days but would never manage to keep it up full time. Plus there's the downside that - say a special occasion came up that involved alcohol or food, I wouldn't really be allowed to just have the night off & enjoy myself and get back to plan tomorrow as I would with calorie counting, as planned days off and treats aren't really easy to do or possible at all on a VLCD.. but with calorie counting I could either incorporate a treat into my alloted calories or just enjoy myself & eat less and exercise more the next day to burn off some of the damage.
So I guess long story short - I'm back to CC. I'm a bit confused as to how many calories I'll be consuming, it's all a big numbers game & I just need to find my own 'special' number, but I'm doing my best to figure that out.
I hope I can dig deep and find the willpower & drive I need this time to make it a lasting change, and see this 6 stone gone once and for all.
