Mum2Two's Weaning off Exante Diary *Taking A Break*PG 10*

[Julie2011]

Thanks for all the useful info. I'll definitely keep following your diary as I want to follow a similar path and then move onto SW for the last stone. I definitely do NOT want to put any of this weight on again. I've been slim many times, but each time I put the weight back on I am fatter than before. I want to stay healthy and that is my biggest incentive. Looking good, comes a very close second, though.

Day 29

So today was my first day off exante and on slimming world.

It felt so strange not making shakes or soups during the day.

For breakfast I just had an omelette. Lunch was a salad from Morrison (spicy chicken pasta). Snack was a pack of cheese and chives snack a jacks and a banana. Dinner was a bowl of Morrison eat smart 'just add water' tomato pasta followed by 2 small flakes because I nearly passed out again!

I'm going to get an appointment with the gp tomorrow because I can't cope anymore. I'm constantly having hot and cold flushes, shaking and blury vision. I can't leave the house by myself or go out with the girls because I'm scared I won't be able to cope.

I've not got to grips with the rules and such on slimming world, so dad is coming round tomorrow to explain it to me and to help with some meal ideas!

Day 30

Breakfast this morning was 2 weetabix with 200ml semi-skimmed milk. I had a banana for a snack and lunch was 2 sausages and scrambled egg. Afternoon snack was a muller light vanilla yogurt and tea was stir-fry followed by vanilla yogurt and strawberries.

I'm off to the doctors again this evening because the tablets I've been given don't seem to be working and I still feel like rubbish. Hopefully they can do something for me, because I hate feeling like this!

This diary is fab! very inspirational! I am starting to see the reintroduction of food in my sights and was quite concerned how I might do it and if I could still lose or even keep off what I had lost! This is making it all seem so positive and achieveable!

Thank you so much! x

 

[Mum2Two]

Hi I'm so glad you find my diary helpful, I hope it can help you reintroduce food when you come off Exante! Good luck

It sounds like it's going really well, that's brilliant. It must be quite strange getting used to days with no packs at all. Glad your dad's been able to help you out with all the rules, hope you have a fantastic weekend

wow, I've just read your diary. You have done so well & you're definitely an inspiration. I was on Exante & lost 2 stone in 2 months but then I started mucking around so joined weight watchers. I wish I was as motivated as you cause I'm sure I'd be close to goal now. Well done again xo

It's so strange! I still get up in the morning and put 500ml water in the jug as though I'm going to make my shake! Lol! It's actually the bars I miss though, they were really filling and yummy! Thank you so much for the reply! Hope you have a great weekend. Do you have much planned?x

Day 35

I should really get out of bed! It's 10am but I can't be bothered moving! No plans for today, and no idea what to have to eat. Went shopping yesterday so the fridge is full The eldest is at my mums and the other half is at work so it's just me and the little one today!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.x

Yep I'm giving ww a go as I signed up for 6 weeks. I still have a month's supply of Exante though. I keep thinking maybe I should do it for a week like a detox but now that I've started eating I don't want to go back to not eating,lol. I've put on weight from eating as I didn't do a phased return, I just fell off the Exante wagon. I haven't lost yet on ww but then I haven't stuck 100% to my points. I'm trying hard this week though so hopefully I'll see a loss. I have around 2 stone to lose for my BMI to be healthy & I know that would take me 2 months on Exante but I don't have the motivation at the moment. It's 5pp for the Exante soups & shakes & 6pp for the bars so I don't know whether I should just include them in my diet. Sorry for the rambling. I guess my diary shows how not to do Exante whereas yours is a great example to others xo
