Ok, so end of day 2 and i'm feeling pretty good, a sense of satisfaction and achievement. Have resisted a number of temptations this weekend and it wasn't that hard.
I had a bit of a mental breakthrough earlier, I was for some time considering weight loss surgery and today it dawned on me that the way I feel at the moment about the short term restrictive nature of this diet pales into insignificance compared to the long term restrictions associated with surgical intervention.
I have about 6 stone to lose (which I might adjust near the goal), I'm 20st right now and at my last recorded heaviest I was about 23st. I lost 4 stone on Slimming World in 2009, I lost motivation on SW when I hit a plateau. Over the course of the last year I have gradually put back on a stone in a yoyo fashion.
I'm not so hung up on the figures on the scales, I just want to feel comfortable in my own body.
So here I am on board the VLCD train, set for this journey and heading for my goal. Bring on the summer!!
