Well day 3 and I'm doing pretty well. Saturday and Sunday were fairly ok, mainly because I was too busy to have the opportunity to cheat. Very nearly said yes to a beer on auto pilot past night but saved myself just in time and had a black coffee instead. Much to the disgust of my friends.
In some ways that's the hardest thing, many of my friends are very sceptical about VLCD's and so I'm finding it hard to explain, I don't want to just keep making excuses for not eating/drinking though. I'm hoping this forum will help.
First day of working on the diet though today, was dreading it. I work in a school, it's safe to say the staff room is always full of treats, the children can stress you out and make you want to eat and drink everything and anything, and in the past it's always been noticed when I'm not eating much or am obviously dieting, and because I don't look as big as I am I often get the 'you don't need to do that' tirade.
Today though no one said anything... I sat and ate my bar and drank my green tea (this is really not normal for me) and not a word... I was amazed and confused and relieved...
I must mention it's quite a religious school. R.E. assembly later in the day, talking about preparing for Christmas, what different people do etc and different religions. One of the kids mentions fasting and I get held up as an example of someone doing just that.
Brilliant. It's made it much easier! 4 weeks until the end of term, no one will ask annoying questions and because most of the staff are fairly strict with their religions, people will actively try to help me 'fast', no more cakes or samosas for me!
I'm just going to power through and think how much I'll enjoy my Christmas dinner!!
Bring on Day 4. May check to see if I'm in ketosis tomorrow, I e got the sticks, is it too early for that?
