I am a serial yo-yo dieter. Basically if I'm not losing I am gaining. That is what needs to change in my forties (I am 39 with ten weeks to go)!
I have been on SNS (9 weeks at 100% with a period of 13 days before easing myself on it) before. I am going to try and do it a little differently this time. I have plenty of packs left over from last time but no bars: this time I am going to attempt it without bars or coke zero or an 'easing in' period (I have tried that again since last time and I failed).
To be completely honest I am doubting my ability to get back on it. However, the horror of 10 weeks to go until my 40th combined with my 20 lb weight gain since I came off it back in October has at least spurred me into starting. The knowledge that I could lose 35 lbs in the next ten weeks and bring myself down to a weight lower than I have been for decade is quite motivating, too!
Anyway, I have started this diary in attempt to help myself get back in the swing of things again.
Yesterday: Appalling eating, lots of wine, pizza, chocolate and crap and as a results wasn't very hungry at all this morning.
Today:
10.30 am porridge pack
Using skimmed milk allowance in coffee (at the moment having sweeteners but want to cut that out) and I intend to have the full veg allowance every day, like last time.
Aiming for 4 hours between packs, dropping to 3 hrs for last pack. Planning next pack at 2.30 pm, then 6.30 pm and finally one at 9.30 pm. I shall come on here and share my difficulties/successes sticking to this as often as I think I need to!
