Hello All
I thought I would first introuduce myself. I am a 29 year old mum of 2 small and gorgeous girls. I have always loved clothes, fashion and make up but lately that excitment has gone. I don't recognise myself when I look in the mirror, and who ever it is looking back at me certainly doesn't marry up with the 'me' on the inside.
So after many many diets (probably every one) I have decided to suck it up, and pay the money and join LL. My husband is 100% supportive with whatever I choose, so here goes!
My main goal is to go to his christmas party without feeling a complete bloater. I know people probably don't care but can you imagine if someone said 'Oh his wife's fat!' SHUDDER! Anyway, Its 6 months away and I WONT BE!
I am currently in a size 18 - and I am aiming for a 10. In other diets Ive always settled at a big 14 as I feel 'ok' at that, but not this time. I'm going for it. So I want to shift about 4.5 stone.
I am on Day 9 but have written in my LL book some of my feelings.
Day 1
YUK. Everything tastes gross. My head is in the right place but I wish my first shake had been nice. I was imagining it like slimfast. A lady at meeting last night said to mix with loads of water and ice to get lots of liquids n, but it was still awful.
Anyway 1 day down, a zillion to go ;-)
Day 3
Went for a Pop In today and swapped a couple of pack, and grabbed a fruits of the forest mix. I have a dull headache today which im hoping is my carb and sugar crash. Its not awful, just fuzzy and Dull.
Day 5
Family have been visiting and I have been for 3 pub lunches so far. I've only been on the diet 5 days! But no problem, I had a fizzy water and felt so proud for being strong afterwards.
IN THE ZONE!
Day 7
WI Tonight. Feeling positive. Havent allowed myself to step on the scales, am going to stick to the one WI a week. Im really excited. I havent drank enough today though - slapped wrists!
WI - 8LBS!!!! WOOOHOOO!!
