We've got our own forum, how better to celebrate than talking nonsense! Hurrah!
I started S+S 5 days ago on Sat 14th Jan. The week leading to that I did use the products but not exclusively, that was the sample pack. I'm in ketosis, I don't feel any different
but I got the sticks I ordered and well, I am!
In 2009 I lost 4st and I really regret letting myself stop, and gain. I was doing Rosemary Conley, which i intend to start again after S+S. It's a low-fat, low-gi diet focusing on fat content, cal counting and exercise. I loved it! The support of the weekly weigh in, the exercise at class, the little bits like the portion pots and magic measure.
But.... I lost my job, I lost my home, I moved abroad and got miserable. Bad job, loneliness, lack of support, loss of all my fave products, not speaking the language- all leading to me comfort eating.
Anyway, I found this forum through a parenting site- I'm a nanny, not a parent but I like just chatting. I looked at all of the different forums, googled any diet anyone even briefly mentioned. I liked the look of CD or LL but I don't want to go to meetings or anything, I work 12 hours a day I don't need more to do! I liked the look of Exante but in the end S+S looked cheaper and had the sample pack!
I've found my routine, one that works. Start day with a meal or shake made with ice, lunch at 12-1ish (whenever the baby goes to sleep!) of another meal, then I thinly slice a bar at the kid's teatime when I usually cook extra so I can pick! No more! Then a final shake or meal in the evening.
I bought a breathspray as I'd heard of the ketosis-breath but to be honest I use it more as a deterant- I spray before I prepare a snack for the kids, who wants to eat a slice of apple or biscuit if all they taste is strong, astringent mint!?!?! I've stopped gum, which is a shame. I've chewed a pack a week since I was 10 or so! Odd not to have it in my mouth constantly. I'm looking for those strip things but no luck thus far. I have one mint a day, after lunch.
I do have one sachet of water flavour a day, in the evening. Thats my treat! So far, apart from that and the mint, I've done 100% and I'm very proud of myself. I'm hoping to introduce more exercise soon, would like to tone as well as slim!
That's kind of my backstory anyway, well done if you made it this far! I like to record my meandering thoughts, more for future (hopefully thin and healthy) me than for now. I wish I had done this before so i could look back and see the good weeks and the bad.
Tomorrow a big order is due, I have one shake left, lots of bars and several spag bols! So enough to last if the order doesn't arrive but I'm looking forward to another choc shake! I did a big order, used my entire food budget for the month so THIS IS IT! No excuses. I have to follow this diet or.... starve! No money for more food.
