I thought it was about time I rejoined minimins and started posting now I'm almost four weeks into my weight loss journey. I wasn't sure which area to post in but right here is perfect if you'll have me?
super morbidly obese is a terrifying place to be, for so so many reasons. I wish I could say that I have had my wake up call and that this is it for me, but honestly? I've said that before, I've felt that before and I don't have a crystal ball. So all I can say is that I determined to change things, I am going to try my hardest and if (when) I slip up I am not going to throw in the towel completely
I am currently four weeks (tomorrow) into a vlcd. I know that vlcd's are not an ideal way to lose weight, I know they have their drawbacks and I fully intend to reeducate myself about food and find a way to change my lifestyle. But right now? I need to get my weight reduced quickly for medical reasons and for myself
my first important goal is to get my bmi under 40 and I want to do that so badly it almost hurts, my bmi going over 50 was a huge horrible shock
if I can keep going until then then I am planning to come off the vlcd and try to maintain and then lose weight with a more conventional healthy eating plan and then possibly do another block of time on vlcd to reduce weight further
for now I just need to keep my head down, keep on going and let the diet work it's magic
thank you to all of you posting here, finding a place that's so supportive and filled with people who truly understand is an amazing thing and I hope it helps get all of us to where we want to be
