Hi all,
I'm Katy and I'm 21 years old and by the time I'm 22 (18 May) I'm determined to feel like a princess and for the first time in my life I WILL be happy with my body.
I did a VLCD (CD) last year for 10 weeks and managed to lose 4 stone. I was gaining confidence and realy did feel pretty good (but still not happy or where I wanted to be).
Unfortunately, due to holidays and Xmas I've gained about a stone and a half of the 4 stone I've lost. But I'm not going to dwell on that now.
From what I've read everyone seems so supportive.. so I could do with the encouragement and also find writing a blog would be a welcome distraction.
I have one weeks worth of CD products and after that I am going to order S&S (so much cheaper and finally have some savory options!!! I miss my dinners soooooo much!!!) I hope no one minds me posting on S&S!
Today was my first day and I've struggled slightly. I am so motivated to stick to it and it takes a hell of a lot to dent my will power.. but today it was tested.
The last time I was doing a VLCD I was smoking... but I now haven't had a cigarette for about 10 days. I also really want to give up smoking too. I understand doing too many things at once can be a downfall but if I have the odd cigarette here and there I don't mind too much. I just find it harder because I have nothing to look forward to at lunch time (I always went out for a cigarette when I was doing CD); so I've now decided that Minimins is my new look forward lunch time.
So my day today...
My first shake was fine.. I actually realized that I missed these and the control and empowerment it makes me feel. So I get to work and in between my colleague and my desk there is a huge box of chocolates and she's sat eating a chocolate croissant. OK I can cope I wasn't too hungry.
At 12 o'clock sharp.. the smell of chips an vinegar sweeps through the office... I was pretty hungry at this point... but just read a few posts and glugged my water and second shake.
1pm and an email is sent around... "break those new years resolutions, there's cakes in the kitchen". The problem with working in a big office... there's cakes for Birthdays/holidays at least twice a week.
4pm and we have our annual quiz... wine, crisps and lots of yummy nibbly bits... Still resisting but my stomach did make some scary noises.
Finally as I am writing this, my mum and step-dad are sitting eating a curry. A curry which I have wanted for the past two weeks... however due to one thing or another we haven't had. It smells AMAZING as does the naan bread...(although I know it has coriander in it and I HATE coriander, so makes it a little bit easier!) My Cardboard smelling/tasting porridge was well and truely forced down.
I am pretty proud of myself today as I know it's been a VERY hard first day... just want to get into ketosis now... day 4 and I will find it a breeze! I even struggle to have my 3 packs when I'm in ketosis.
None of the things that have tempted me are as nice as being slim will feel.
Anyway... hope I haven't blabbered on and bored anyone too much.
Would love to hear about anyone else's day!
