BellyFlop's Pursuit of Snake Hips!

[BellyFlop]

Day Four!

Ok, today has been a very long day!

I was awake very early and on weighing myself again, I appear to have lost another 4 pounds, so that's 12lbs since tuesday!!!

I have had a great day, took the children out with my Mum and met up with two lovely friends, I haven't seen in over a year....and still claiming to have a "bad tummy" to deflect from the fact I am not eating and only drinking water or black tea/coffee. Tonight however, I am feeling the strain, I am extremely tired and Saturday is normally curry night (homemade) or Chinese/Thai takeaway and I am feeling a bit cranky! Struggling a bit, but I will NOT give in!

I've stopped going out pub/clubbing it, as I feel self conscious and having a "treat" indoors is my "Saturday night out..but in"......but I can't have it, so I'd better just be strong and think of all the lovely clothes I can wear in a social enviroment when all this is done with and I'm at target!

Just wanted to pop in and wish you well on your diet journey although you sound sooo positive and determined I don't think you need it. Well done on getting through the toughest bit and YEAH for the K fairy!

Day 5.......I'm a bit moody and emotional tonight and have been all day!

Think it may be post menstrual tension!

Cooked a chicken balti for family and had visitors today, so all a bit stressy and fraught, was difficult watching everybody eat so I sat on the stairs like a naughty child while they did.....I read the new LL mag, even though I'm LT, just to keep inspired!

Better tonight, thankfully and looking forward to weigh in on Tuesday...My scales are showing a 13lb loss since starting last Wednesday which is huge and a lovely boost to my weird mood!

I feel much happier today and lots more settled. I have weigh in tomorrow and I am looking forward to collecting my next weeks supplies.

Today I have had a convo with my Step Dad, who thinks LT is stupid and dangerous, but I gave him the bumph to read and he said, "Just eat some fruit and get some willpower!"...I told him that doing a VCLD takes LOTS of willpower..and it's either this, a gastric band/bypass or an early grave.....he soon shut up!

I explained to him that my food addiction is an illness and that I need to remedy myself, either that or carry on eating till my heart gives up. In the last ten years I have had a total love/hate relationship with food and the mirror, yo-yoing weight, bulimia and general dislike for myself....I am over the bulimia, that took me being pregnant and still purging to finally come to my senses, it was a secret daily ritual that was so hard to overcome, and it has risen it's head on so many occasions over the years, mainly the conclusion to some 'do -gooders, "I'm saying this because I care" comments!

I didn't need telling I was fat!

Anyway this time, sod the lot of them I am doing this for me, cause I want 'me' back....

tbc......

16lb off in my first week of LT'ing, so that's 26lb in total in just three weeks!

Jenny, It's LISA not Kelly!

No secret, just luck and lots of water retention maybe!

It's been a mixed week, a bit up and down emotionally but that's down to life not just LT! I have again been on the scales and have not lost anything as substantial as last weeks 16lbs, but a loss is a loss, so I will reveal the loss on Tuesday after my third weigh in.....

Will be having some more pics taken tomorrow, and then again four weeks later...I may even be brave enough to put them up on here by then!
