Okay, so I can finally join you lot on this Lighter Life path.
Funnily enough I weighed in 4lbs lighter last night, than I did when I went to the information session last Thursday! So I am 13st 9lbs instead of 13st 13lbs, which I was pleased about, so that is 52lbs I want to lose instead of 56lbs!
Where do I start?
Today hasn't been that hard. I did think work would be my downfall. It started off with a disaster when I went to mix my milk-shake (banana) and despite using the shaker, and sieve thing in the top of it, it was just hideously lumpy.
My colleague said the only way around that is by using a hand blender - so much for trying to keep the fact I am doing this anonymous, I'll be drawing attention to myself walking around with a hand blender. I'm amazed no one asked me what I was adding to my water. The milkshake tasted palatable but there were just too many lumps in it so I ended up chucking it down the sink.
It also put me off having my 'lunch' as I knew the soup would end up the same way. So I just drank as much water (with flavouring) as I could and have had my four litres intake today, which was really easy.
The only hunger pangs I had were about half an hour ago, so I knew it was proper hunger. I'm having the soup now (chicken) and there are no lumps in it, and it doesn't taste that bad. I have to get it into my head it's not food, it's medicine/treatment.
The office had an Indian take-out today and I was so jealous. It was such a success that they have declared they will have one, once a month! Oh well, at least I will be able to join in, in October.
I kept getting really excited when I thought about how slim I could be. I hope I can last the course.
Should I have had any 'counselling' last night, cos we didn't. We didn't even have time to watch the video all the way through. I got measured (44" bust, 39" waist, 45" hips) and had a photo taken. There were 8 new starters in the class last night, two of whom were at the info session last week.
