So Wednesday was my first day on Lighter Life Total. I was fairly eager to start, especially as I've 4 stone to lose. Hopefully a fair bit of this will go before February 2013, but I'm sure Christmas time will be a challenge.
The day didn't start so well as I lost my water supply due to a burst pipe down the street. I hadn't got any bottled water in advance, I usually filter, and so I had to trek to the supermarket first thing before I could have my first packet.
I was fairly sure I'd like the first pack I opened, Raspberry Porridge, as I imagined it would be 'sweet' or something. But I found it awful and was gagging my way through eating the prepared contents. Tasted to me like baking soda or something and was fairly sour. I pulled many faces
I tried adding sweetener but this didn't help :sigh:
Luckily, despite my fears after this first experience, the rest of the packets I choose to have were OK. I had strawberry, as a mousse, because I'm not too keen on watery shakes. This was followed later by Shepherds Pie and the Mushroom and Spring Onion pack.
I'm pretty looking forward to being able to add bars in next week as I've heard that most people tend to like these. Plus they're good on the go!
I struggled without milk in my tea. I'm not keen on black tea, and the sweeteners didn't help. I've also a big reluctance for drinking water so the lemon flavorings helped immensely. I'm hoping to pop into see my counsellor to swap the packets I dislike and to pick up some broth, which wasn't in stock when I did my order.
I've a slight headache at certain times throughout the day, but nothing too much. I've had plenty of 'mental' hunger but not too much belly rumblings. Hoping tomorrow goes well
