Hoping that being able to have a channel to get down my thoughts/rants/moans/celebrations will help me get through this journey I've started.
I started today thinking I weighed approx 19½ stone and hoping to get down to 15st or under. However on weigh in I found out I'm actually up to 20st2lb! So I have 5st2lb to lose! Now I know at my height of 5ft 10" 15st will still leave me classed as "obese" but I have always been a big lad, even when I was fit & healthy. If I dropped down to my "ideal weight" of 9st3lb-12st7lb I feel I would look ill. So my plan is get to 15st and decide if I'm happy or would like to get a bit more off.
So I'm now at the end of day 1. Had a vanilla shake for lunch & a choc shake for dinner. Found them both perfectly acceptable, but that may be because I blended it with ice. We'll see how good it is in a shaker bottle when I have to do one at work tomorrow. So far I'm feeling good, I am hungry and it feels weird to not be able to go get a snack, but I'm ignoring it ok. The biggest thing I am missing is not being able to have a glass of wine!!
Anyway, I've ranted long enough, got the tough days ahead of me, so sure I'll be back getting more off my chest soon.
Thanks for the support!
