Thanks for all the support. There are lots of flovours, really not sure which one to have for brekkie this morning, toffee and walnut sounds like the tastiest, oriental chilli, spicy tomato, chicken and mushroom, cappuccino, choc mint, chocolate, vanilla, banana, strawberry, vegetable, mushroom. I think that's about it. I've got a mix of them all!
I can't sleep! Its Saturday morning and I've been awake since 6am. Lying there, dreaming of my new self! Hubby and daughter are still fas asleep, so I've decided to post on here. I feel like a kid on Christmas eve! I'm sooooo excited. I know that this is gonns work and I'm so positive...you guys and this forum has helped with that positivity so much!
I weighed this morning and I'm 2 KGS (4.4 pounds) lighter than last week. I've marked that on my ticker and can see progress! Wayhay!!!! All week I have been thinking such positive thoughts, cutting out a lot of carbs and drinking plenty of water. But, I think that the positive thoughts are really the most important!
I will wait for hubby to get up and get him to help with my measurements. I've just fininshed my first 1/2 litre and will probably keep breakfast until a little later on. I have a huge function to host this evening at a castle converted 5 star hotel. I know that there will be lots of delicious food and I did toy with the idea of starting tomorrow. But, it's now or never. I want this so badly and will do it!
As I crept out of bed this morning, my back killing me under the enormous weight, I dreamed of jumping out of bed, skipping and running with my daughter and feeling no pain in a couple of months.
Two weeks ago, my mum called and told me not to panic, but both Dad and her have had a little scare and are both with High Blood Pressure. Dad also has a little sugar in his blood. I love them both so much but living thousands of miles away can sometimes be difficult. We're a 'big' family, always have been. Mum always told me 'oh, you don't want to be too thin, you're cuddly as you are.' The cupboards at home are always filled with sweets, chocolate crisps and the like. Since I've been living here, I don't eat so much junk food, but the habit of eating everthing on the plate before you can leave the table is a hard habit to kill! My daughters eating habits are like her dads, thankfully. She loves her fruit and veg, mangoes, apples, spinich, broccolli, carrots, anything really. She gets 'treats' but I try to treat with fruit so that she doesn't feel that rewards always need to be chocolate or something. The first few times that we went home with her was very difficult. Chocolate, sweets and crisps were being pushed on her. So much pressure for her to try the 'Bad' stuff. And when she herself chose some celery and cucumber sticks, or a slice of melon, my family said that I was depriving her! What is wrong with these people? That sounds terrible I know, and I really do love my family so much, but I don't want to put my daughter through both the emotional and physical stress that I have had due to my weight.
I know, I've gone on and on and on....Sorry. This stuff has to come out though and I have to fill the space with positivity! (smiles) I know that this diet will work. I haven't told mum about it as I know she will only say I'm being ridiculous. Let's see how ridiculous I feel getting off the plane in 3 months!
I'm sure I'll be on again later today, probably have more gunk to spill.
Wish me luck!
