My Introduction: It's a long one!
I started on the diet back last summer. I found that I lost a lot of the weight, just very slowly.
(I should point out that I'm PCOS and I guess this may be why it was tougher to shift the weight, especially the last few pounds!)
I stuck to the diet absolutely to the word, I didn't slip up or cheat once and to be honest, I wasn't really that tempted to - I'd much rather keep downsizing my wardrobe than cheat for a piece of cake
So, anyway, I was doing pretty well, I'd passed the plateau that I'd been stuck at for some time, and as it approached Christmas I was only 6lbs from my goal weight!
However...
After Christmas I becamse really, really sick with the Norovirus, and I couldn't eat or drink for days. I became very dehydrated and all I could take for fluids were icecubes.
I was advised, medically, that the only food I should attempt to eat was potatoes, rice, white bread, and Rich Tea biscuits - basically every Dukan don't
I had no choice, the oatbran, yoghurts and eggs made me too sick, so I had to follow the advice and go on a full carb and starches diet whilst I recovered.
Due to the lack of intake of fluids and diet of every conceivable wrong food type (not to mention zero exercise) my weight bounced up - by another 6lbs! I tried to go back to PP/PV but still didn't shift a single pound
So, here I am: Starting again with the attack phase.
I officially have 12lbs to lose!
Yesterday:
Breakfast: Oatbran Galette
Snack: Vanilla yoghurt
Lunch: Ham, Ham, Ham!
Dinner: Grilled Chicken
Snack: Vanilla Yoghurt
Exercise: Running
I hope I get there this time!
