Hello Cakeordeath,
Well, mainly I've been keeping a book and writing down 10 things I'm grateful for each day and that's made me realise how wonderful my life really is. Today is day 15, and it is so hard to find things to be grateful for, because I've already written it down a previous day. So looking back I've already got 145 things that are so super in my life and I'm still counting.
But diet wise, yes, all good. No huge losses, but no gains either and I'm still on the journey. Looking forward to leaving 12 stone though. How about you?

That sounds like a great idea to focus on all the good things in life.....I have just blindly believed in the process of vlcd and just trundled on with it.... Have now lost 2 stones and will try and get down to 9 stones if I can.
I know that you can do this kitty........

Thank you
Blind belief is just as good if it is working for you. The mind is stronger than matter after all. 2 stone. That's super. Well done you!
I want to be there too and I'm sure it will happen. Just need to not get distracted or lose focus.

Although it is difficult it has been much easier for me not to have eaten anything but packs and vegetables because I can't trust myself not to exceed the carb and calorie limit......

Sure. But you've really lost so much and so quickly too. I think you've done it the proper way. I fluctuate too much and have days where I binge on chocolate, thereby destroying everything I've worked so hard for. But yesterday and today have been good and I'm feeling more in control again. So congratulations again! Are people commenting?

Thanks very much......people do comment but not always positively.....stuff like "don't lose anymore or you will look ill" the thing is I'm not even a healthy BMI yet.....
I'm starting to realise that some people feel threatened by weight loss and the way they manage it is to pour a bit of scorn on someone else's so they don't have to deal with their own issues......
The thing is that I'm not hiding anymore.....I stand up straighter because I'm not trying to make myself look smaller and I don't hide in long cardigans and baggy clothes....

Go you! Yes, be proud of what you've achieved and stand up tall.
People are so good at projecting their negativity out into the world and on us. We have to let that go. Water off a duck's back and all that. You know what you want to achieve, other people are just as you rightly say 'threatened'. They've not got their act together and they can't bare it that you have.
I am finding talking to you like this a real motivation.

That's good.......you deserve to be thin.......and you deserve the chance of increasing your fertility......if you need this then just go for it....you have it within your power to facilitate a process of losing weight to achieve a greater goal.....I believe in you....

Thank you for your words and support. You're right. I just need to keep my long-term goals in sight and keep at it. I've already come this far, it is achievable.

Good morning all, cakeordeath,
I'm feeling really positive and motivated today even though it is the TOTM. I've not increased in weight and am sure that the stand-still will move as soon as I get the retained water off next week.
Isn't the weather lovely today? I'm enjoying the sunshine and getting lots of washing done.
How are you? Don't forget to drink about 3 litres of water.

You're right. Mindset is everything.
Mehendi parties are so much fun. Lucky you. Not been to one in years. Last one was actually mine in 2005. Gasp!!!

Right. Well they generally have lovely food and music, and they paint your hands with Henna, which is kind of cool. Not sure how it works over here though. Where I grew up, there was a higher number of women as opposed to men, since applying Mehendi's a female thing. The blokes generally turned up in time for the food

Sounds good.....I've already let my friend know that I won't be eating........but I have explained that I need to do the vlcd till the end so she understands......she even said that I could sit on the stage with her whilst everyone else is eating......
How is your day........?

She sounds like a very nice person in that case. I'm sure it will be a blast and you'll enjoy yourself in your newer, slimmer manifestation.

Thanks kitty......I will be missing out on some amazing food.....Asian food is my favourite food....how are doing today....?

Hey you. Don't okay today. TOTM so a bit slower with things, but otherwise all good. I actually think I feel lots better during the TOTM because of the VLCDs. Partly I suppose it is because of the weight loss, but I think it is just getting the right nutrients and so on.
How are you?
I love food. All food. That's the issue
