Hi everyone,
Well day 1 on slimfast today. I am doing a slight variation on the plan as for breakfast I am not having a slimfast shake but having branflakes with raisins, which comes to around the same no. of calories. I enjoy my breakfast and worry that forcing myself to swap it for a shake would do me more harm than good.
Am having my main meal of the day at lunchtime as if I eat at lunch I tend to feel full for the rest of the day, whereas if I skip it (or if I had a shake instead) I am more prone to snacking. Will then have my shake in the evening, which I think will help me lose easily cos at the moment eating junk in the evening is my biggest problem.
Had my branflakes for brekkie, then a yummy lunch of salmon in white wine and mushroom sauce with veg and chips- comes in at about 600 cals I think (it was at a restaurant). Had fruit cocktail for a snack and then my Slimfast half an hour or so ago which filled me up nicely. So am pleased with my day 1 success!
I do think Slimfast is quite easy to stick to, as I don't feel hungry on it, so am looking forward to losing over the next month or so! My overall plan is to Slimfast til end of June, and hopefully I can get a stone and a halfish off by then, and if I have more than half a stone to get to goal I will go back onto the Cambridge Diet to reach my final goal . I can't do CD at the moment as lunchtimes on my placement (which finished in June) are very sociable and I feel excluded if I dont go with the other 4 for lunch. So I will slimfast til I leave and then CD it up then I can have my main meal with them at lunch and if I want to go out for a meal in the evening etc. I can do. It also means the time I am on CD for will hopefully be much shorter which is important for me as the longer I am on it, the more messed up I feel!!
Sorry for the essay, just wanted to get some of my thoughts down and am going to use this thread as a sort of mini-diary to track my thoughts and my progress.
How is everyone else getting on with SF? Would be really encouraged by hearing about the success of others if you are willing to share....
