Thanks Hannah for the tip, well here it is! Think it will keep me sane as i already seem to be addicited to this site and find inspiration from you all! So here goes the start of my diary for all you ladies that might want to read (if not its therapy in itself to write it down hey! lol)
I am on day three so will start with Day 1 and 2!
Day 1 - Well after weighing in half a stone heavier than when i met LLC for info session it was the 'push' i needed as i realised that food is not only controlling me but taking over my every thought! Day one started with lumpy porridge which was far too sweet i thought! I have a major sweet tooth so was a surprise that it was so sweet! LOL. I drank and drank (3.5 litres to be precise!) and in turn weed and weed (sounds like gardening but u get what i mean!) . Then i had a shake for lunch, banana-was yummy! 4pm was the turn of vegetable soup and was plesantly surprised! Then finally it was the turn of vanilla shake (LLC gave it to me even though i don't like vanilla!) lesson to self-don't knock it til u've tried it-was lush! Day one saw no headaches and a mind that was in the right place!
Day 2
Woke at 5.30am with a severe headache, i had discussed my worry with LLC prior to starting as suffer due to an old whiplash injury. Anyhow her advice was take two paracetemol, two ibuprofen and a cup of black coffee-urgggggh, however, i took it and went back to bed and woke feeling better! Still a niggle throughout the day but again drank 3.5 litres. I have started reading stories on here and FB LL page and i find that they are inspirational. I have yo-yo dieted since i was 17 (am now 32) and due to comfort eating medication have put on 5 stone since i was 17. I don't know what makes this diet different but for me i need to get to the reasons why i eat and think thats where the CBT and TA will come in- i know the reasons why i eat (don't want to discuss as yet) but can't get to grips with why (if u know what i mean!). All in all though i feel that by taking the choice of foods away it will help me to redevelop my relationship with what was once my comfort. Didn't sleep well on night one at all, early night and slept fairly well.
PS I had chilli for tea and it was described as dia*****!! U get it, it was not for me i'm afraid, each to their own hey!
Day 3
Woke early and was thirsty on waking so drank half a litre-wow-the woman who prior to this only drank say 1 glass of squash with evening meal and that was it!
Had a quick shake-strawberry as had to go to see LLC-40 min drive for me :sigh: - this will cost a fortune in petrol alone! lol
Did the obligatory wee on a stick and LLC said i was 'very near' ketosis-it was like a pink colour-very light, to be honest she could have told me anything cos i wouldn't have a clue!!! Anyhow, then the weigh in, a total loss of 3 1bs -yey was very chuffed with that (the most i have lost on other diets on day seven is 4 pounds so thats all good and a boost for me!). My head seems to be in the right place, then i have a little think and think i hope this novelty doesn't wear off???? LLC gave me shepherds pie to try and it was gorgeous-really loved it, ok all mushed up but then as i said to my mum i used to mash everything even as a teen-and sometimes in adulthood-i wonder what thats all about but again shows my obsure relationship with food doesn't it i suppose! I had a good cry at Mums i don't really know why (i'm a crier mind!) and i just think i have come to the realisation that however hard this journey may be i MUST shift this weight.
