Sooooo hey! I guessed I should start a new diary since it's been a while. I did LL a few years ago, lost 3stones in 2.5months, a few issues arose and I stopped attending. I was sooooo unbelievably close to target but I f*ed up after I came off. I put the weight back on plus some more, the past 4years have been a slow gradual process of gaining and while I knew I was gaining it I felt like I was out of control. Almost as though the weight was controlling me, my willpower was at minus. I tried countless times to start exante, doing a morning and then not being able to get past lunchtime. I almost resigned myself being overweight for the rest of my life. I can't even tell you the amount of times I would say "tomorrow" or "I'll start Monday" absolutely ridiculous...
Fast forward to Monday just gone, I don't know what clicked, I can't pin point it but something has me more focused than I've ever been, sooooo much more than even the first time I did a VLCD. I feel unbelievably strong, my head is screaming like never before, telling me that this will be the last time I diet in my life.
Being the weight and size I am is now is the heaviest and biggest I've ever been, it had gotten to the point that my right knee was starting to ache when going up the stairs, am I 30 or 70!!! Jeeezzz!!
Anywayyyyy it's day 6 today. 6!!!!!! I'm actually so damn proud of myself for getting past day 1!! I'm weighing in at 16stone-ish and size 16/18 more on the 16 side tho. I haven't weighed myself, I will be doing my first weigh in on Monday. I guess my first week loss would be around 7lbs as it was the last time I did a VLCD, is it crazy the numbers aren't bothering me? I was thinking I may not weigh myself at all till I get to a size 12 and then reassess my goal from there but now I've started this diary I'm thinking Ill weigh in once a week and if I can't then every two weeks.
My saving grace has also been the fact that I've told myself that I'm sticking to 3packs a day on TS, if there's a particular day I feel weak I'll be resorting to some grilled chicken or an omelette, that's helped me a lot mentally, knowing I have an option which will keep me in ketosis made this a hell of a lot easier. Water intake has been around 1.5ltrs and that's my a for the day, if I can make it to 2ltrs I'll be happy, I struggle with water after 1.5ltrs so I'm drinking bouillon and black tea too. I know I'm waffling on but I'm doing this as something for me to look back on, if people happen to read it then thankyou and I hope this helps you and that I can be of some support is awesome because it's a friggin ball ache to lose weight!!
I'll update my weight loss here once I weigh in, thanks for reading
