My three stone battle

[chazyb]

I have finally plucked up the courage after many months to write this thread to help motivate myself into losing some more weight!

I joined Lighter Life in March 2013 to help lose the weight I gained through my pregnancy.
I managed to lose 3 stone but soon after I became complacent and started to treat myself to a few unhealthy snacks.I found it increasingly difficult to stick to Lighter Life so I left after 3 months.
I stumbled across Slim and Save about a month later. I have made several attempts to start this diet but always seem to cave in towards the end of the evening.
I am now writing this blog to kick start myself into losing this weight once and for all.
I have managed to maintain the weight that I lost on Lighter Life. I currently weigh 12st9.
I officially start SnS 26/10/2013 .

You've done really well to maintain your previous loss. Good luck today and remember at first it is just one pack at a time and lots of water.

Aw thanks so much for the reply! It’s nice to get some encouragement on my first day J
Day one
It has been really difficult. I’ve tried to keep busy all day and distract myself from thinking about the dreaded ‘Carbs’ that I’ve gone and given myself a headache!
I’ve had 2litres of water already and I am on my third so hopefully the headache should fade away soon.
I’ve had 3 food packs and a bar today which I really enjoyed because I was so hungry! Inall honesty theydo taste better than LL food packs. I tried to space them out as much as possible as the evenings are the worst for me.
I think I will have an early night.

Day 2
I woke up this morning feeling really positive and proud of myself for getting through the first day.
As the day wore on I started to crave certain foods. I found myself looking at the kitchen cupboards wondering what else I could add to the food packs. Vlcd is a lot harder 2nd time around. I'm not sure how I managed to stick to LL for so long. I'm going to take each day as it comes. I just want to get past this stage quickly and get into ketosis.

Don't give up. Think of how you'll feel at the end of the day if you've stuck to it. It will start to get much easier after today. It's tough but it does work. Have a good day.
