well i made the decision last night that i was going to do this after looking at a lot of information and reviews.
went into my local chemist today and asked about it and the skinny bit*h behind the counter sniggered. And i thought to myself i'll show you. if anything it has made me more determined to prove that i can do this.
so the little old lady that was on, took me into a side room with another collegue. they were both totally clueless about computers which lightened the atmosphere as we had a good giggle about that.
she talked me through everything and answered my questions, its not that popular in that store (so why so much stock then??) due to the general age of the local population- retirement city
but one girl that worked there had used it a lost loads of weight
so they measured my height- 5ft3 (and a half, that half counts) meansured my weight. 111.4 KG or 17.7 stone, i knew i was heavy but seeing ti converted into stone was a shock. i left the gym 4 months ago weight 104kg so thought it might be higher. waist measurement was 113cm, will to hips and arms etc myself later.
then i went and choose the starter pack, a pack of soups (came with a free thermos) and 2packs of snack bars and 2 single meal replacement bars
as i had not had breaki i had the meal replacement bar and was majorly suprised, very chewy took for every too eat and left me feeling a bit sick. the feeling you get when you've ate way to much... i was expecting to feel hungry
came home, and got ready for a funeral. went to the funeral but declined the wake, as i thought nah in a pub and plenty of food i dont want the temptation.
by this stage had a killer headache, due to not eating in 4 hours was about 3pm so this would happen anyway regardless of new diet. came back home and made a soup up in my nice new shiney thermos cup. again very suprised, tasted really yummy left me feeling full although an hour later i am a bit peckish. but thats usual. however now i have heart burn. i have suffered from this for a while so hoping it will pass.
looks like its chicken broth for dinner tonight, as thats what mum is making going to put my a list of foods i can and cannot eat on the fridge see if that helps her any.....
not told her i am on the celb silm diet as she wouldn't really approve and only make my time harder.
had my chiken broth for dinner and stopped at one bowl normally i would have two or three. This warranted very dirty looks from my mother, and several accusations about wahts wrong with my cooking, then her huffing with me. I can see that this is going to be a tough one!
A few hours after dinner i became hungry, so had a stick of celery dipped in humous. that curbed it for a bit and then it came back, so i suck of 6 or so peanuts and that seemed to help, but it returned so i had half a cs snack bar. looking at the allowable snacks and considering i didn't have a morning one i don't think any damage was done!
drank 8 pints of water as usual through out the day
