Right then!
I am ready to address my weight. I have fluctuated between 18st6 and 14st ish for the last ten years! I want to get to a healthy BMI this time, and maintain.
I've never tried CD, or any other food replacement diet before. I've always thought that I could not cope with chewing and carbs. I'm used to the SW school of thought - pile it high. I am a vegetarian, so my free foods were very carby and filling.
I decided to give CWP a go, since I have been between 17 and 18 stone for the last few years and I want to make a drastic change. I think that I've kept my weight on to repel men, having been bitterly disappointed last time round.
Here is my progress so far...
Day One and Two
Ooh, this is not so bad, this not eating malarkey.
Maple and Pecan porridge for breakfast. Just... bleurgh! Vegetable soup for lunch, also vile. Oh dear, what am I doing? Losing weight, that's what! Finally, a decent flavour in chocolate orange shake. Slept ok, hungry but manageable. Drank somewhere between 4 and 5 litres of water (on top of mint tea).
Apple and cinnamon porridge on day two - much nicer. Spicy tomato soup was ok, but I should have made it with hotter water. Still, it has to be better than the vegetable soup; anything has to be better than that. Mango shake for 'dinner'. Quite restless tonight, no sleep until 3 AM. Drank somewhere between 4 and 5 litres of water (on top of mint tea).
Day Three and Four - what fresh hell is this?
Gah! I am hungry, tired and emotional. Have stuck to plan 100%, drinking water like it is going out of fashion too.
Went to a party for work - surrounded by food. T'was torturous, but I resisted running to the cheese board and cramming my face. There was a free bar too. I drank my water and shake. Hmph. I am a savoury lover, and the soups are not hitting the spot at all, while the shakes are my preference by a country mile.
On night three, I could not sleep until 4 AM, and had work the next day. Night four was an improvement in that I was sleeping by 3 AM - huzzah!
Oh yeah, I found something worse that the vegetable soup - leek and potato soup. I can still smell it now.
Day 5 - Today
Well, I am still hungry - where is ketosis? Shouldn't it be here now?
Have an assignment to do for college - will keep my mind off things.
Had a little weigh earlier - 17st5lb. My scales were weighing the same as my consultant's last Wednesday, so hopefully it is an accurate reflection. If so, I'm chuffed at 9lbs in five days! Waist is down by 1.5 inches too.
I've a long way to go, but for today, I am choosing to stick with it.
