OK, so here goes. I'm on day 1 of slim and save. So far I've had the vanilla and caramel shake, which tasted much like slimy goop, and 2.5 hours later, I'm feeling slightly queasy. Worried about how I'm going to get through the next year (or so) on slim and save with the kids expecting the same treats and yumminess that their friends have and they've had in the past, and whether DH is going to come through with the support he's promising.
I'm looking forward to not having to think about food or mealplanning for myself, though. Really looking forward to having some of the control taken away from me. I'm planning on doing a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy course with the PCT that focuses on obesity and weight management (starts next week) and I'm hoping that'll really help too. I haven't decided yet whether I'm on a VLCD for the long term, or for an initial 3 months- I like the research that suggests it'll help stabilise my blood sugar levels and insulin production.
Off to drink more water now- it seems to help with the queasiness.
