Hello everyone
I found it very therapeutic writing on these boards the other day, so i thought I'd give you all an update!
I am now on day 5, and I have to say I've been very lucky and found it a breeze! I had a pop in with my LLC last night (mainly to swap some of my maky foodpacks for nice ones!) and I have already lost 4lbs - fab!
I did have some headaches yesterday, which couldnt be cured with nurofen but i found it annoying rather than unmotivating. It isnt a good time of the month for me this week either, but hopefully I will have a really good loss next week.
As far as the foodpacks go, I'm getting better at making them at work, although they are still pretty lumpy - my ones at home are fabulous! My fave by far is the choc shake - it is really creamy and tasty - and has the least aftertaste of them all.
I had my engagement party saturday night - lots of people over and a great time. I had to do all the cooking - mini sausages, sausage rolls, samosas, profiteroles - the works. I didn't touch a thing - nor did I lick my fingers when they were covered in icing!
I felt so proud of myself - it wasn't easy at all but i woke up the next day feeling energised, clear headed and slim - a total contrast to how I would have felt pre-LL. It also brought hom to me how much food is a mental problem for me - I put my hand out to the buffet table so many times and withdrew it each time - if I hadnt been on LL I would have had a nibble every time, not even counting the cheeky bits i would have eaten whilst serving the food! Really brought it home to me!
I have a challenge I do need help for though - I am going out for a pub dinner with my fiance and some relatives on sat night - how do I explain not eating? I don't want to say that I'm doing LL as they are all slim and will def not understand - I thought I might say that I had an upset stomach or something? Any advice?
