Hey guys!
Never dieted before, my weight shot up when I fell pregnant 8 years ago and has steadily gone up and up ever since. I now weigh 14st 12.5lb. My plan is to not have a target weight as such (or maybe I'm too scared of posting it incase I fail?!) but to get down to a weight where I'm comfortable enough to start going to the gym/exercise classes etc & lose & maintain my weight through healthy eating & exercise (without the need for extremities!)
So here goes!
I'm just coming to the end of day for now but here's how the first few days have gone:
-Day 1- wasn't as bad as I'd thought. I'm very fussy with food and was worried about whether I'd be able to stomach the shakes. I tried the choc in the morning which wasn't too bad, strawberry for lunch which I really struggled with and won't be tryin again! Then I had the chicken soup for tea, I put a pinch of pepper in it, I wasn't sure whether that was allowed...I now know it could mess up and prevent Ketosis so DON'T DO IT!!! Chicken soul wasn't too bad.
-Day 2- Struggled a little more in day 2, I wasn't feeling hungry as such, it was more the thought of what's ahead and how long the journey will be! Tried vanilla for breakfast, again, really struggled and won't be trying again for a while! Choc for lunch, chicken for tea.
-Day 3- Friday and had a night out planned. Day time was fine, was feeling really rough though, im not sure if it's just Ketosis kicking in or I'm I'll or both but I've got a sore throat leaving a horrible taste in my mouth, blocked up/runny nose, headaches, cold, lil bit shakey. Still in high spirits though surprisingly! And not had any wobbles like day 2!
)
-Day 4-
Yey! Night out lat night, a real test, long story but basically, i don't drink that much, but if there was ever a night where I needed a drink...it was last night! But no, water all night). It was weird being out though with how I felt, I don't think I was ready for it to be honest. I felt quite weak at times, and was really really sweaty!!!:-O Not normally a hugely sweaty person, must be all the water!
So coming to the end of day four now and have struggled a little today. Have had to do the super market trip for the first time today buying shopping for my partner & son. Also have struggled because it has had to be very different from a usual Saturday with regards to what we do for the day and the eve. (don't want to keep mentioning the F word by I'm sure you all know what I mean!)
Glad I found this website, I need to do this for my health and my happiness and that I those who love me. All of your stories and diaries help so much.
Going to try and add my ticker now...not sure I know how to do it:-/
