Hello Everyone,
I thought it was about time I introduced myself as I have been hanging around the past week haha
Background: The reason I didn't succeed before was due to moving to Canada (they don't sell CD in Canada). I only stayed on the diet last time long enough to lose 20lbs and that was still very far from goal. Then when I was in Canada, I was in a car accident and after the injuries - I gained back the weight I'd lost and a bit more.
Now: I am back in the UK as currently going through my PR application process, so will be moving back to Canada eventually. I figured while I was back in the UK, it was a good opportunity to get back into CD. I went to see my CDC on Thursday for my weigh in etc I actually lost 5lbs during the previous week, so that was a nice surprise. I got all my packs and started the next day. I am now on day 6 and it's actually been so much easier this time around to stick to than the first time!! Some days I am even having trouble getting the 3 packs in! I feel like I am forcing it down!! Which was good! I also have a lot of motivation - my partner proposed to me just before I left Canada, so I am looking forward to surprising him with the weightloss once I return!! It's been a lot harder being away from him than I thought it would be, but that is also helping me stay focused!!
I am trying not to get my hopes up too much for my first WI. I lost 13lbs in the first week last time, but after losing 5lbs last week on my own and then TOM decided to show up a week early and I am feeling bloated from it - I will be happy with any loss!! Knowing I have stuck to SS 100% this week and that I have drank my water...is the main hurdle. Then maybe it will reflect more on week 2 when TOM has bu*gered off!!
Hope everyone is having a great week!!
