Diary of a 5ft2 18st 1.5 pound woman :(

[dottydon]

So I have only just found this diary bit!! Today is day 7 for me! Got weighed yesterday early as I am a student nurse on a clinical placement at the moment and can't weigh in monday morning!
When I got weighed yesterday I weighed 17st7 3/4 lbs which I made as a 7 3/4 lb loss but my pharmacy put as 7?! I just le it go as she struggled to work it out and so did I lol!
I started on sunday and have been Great until I am home! Struggling tonight :cry:very nearly had a meal tonight, figured one healthy treat meal a week couldn't do much harm. However I didn't and had the soup! Having my sparkling water now which I save until the evenings as feels like a treat lol! However I still really want to have a treat night! How much harm could that do!

Dont do it you will regret it, keep saying to yourself I will have one tomorrow and when tomorrow comes say it again, thats what I do

Thats actually good advice! When I gave up smoking I used to say I am not having a cigarette today each morning and didn't so I'll use the same psychology with this! Been a tough day today Hubby and kids having sausage rolls from the bakers in town and cooking for them tonight I really had to resist eating some chicken! xx

You will just have to get him to cook instead I have mine cook so I dont have to.lol

So today is the start of my second week-woke up feeling good this morning the sun is shining and my shorts feel a bit looser! won't be long and I might even wear them outside of my own garden lol! I am thinking I might go and get weighed at boots today-I know I was weighed friday but that wasn't a week of being on LT and the pharmacist couldn't even work out my loss properly lol! (granted neither could I . Found last night really tough, very nearly had my treat meal but held out and I am determined to keep going as long as I can. Today I will mainly be doing mu uni dissertation-I normally eat when I study and it is normally bags of chocolate so this should be interesting!
Hubby is going to cook dinner tonight so no need to worry about that! Just have to put up with the lovely smell of spag bol which is one of my favourites!! I feel it is slighlty evil to ban my fav meals lol but may have to at some point!!

Well done on getting thru last night keep up the good work, I have spent the morning trying clothes on that I had put away cos they were too tight, some are still a tad tight but the others are too loose so happy with that

al30 thats great Can't wait til it really starts to notice on me!

So today has been good-went to boot's had my 1 week weigh in and have lost 12.5lbs in my first week!! So so happy with that! That is enough to spur me on for a bit longer lol! I realise that is going to slow down and not be such a big loss next week but I will hopefully get my 1st stone off Went to the cinema-made my children have toffee popcorn-YUCK!!! and fanta-YUCK!!! I had mineral water It was nice in the cinema as aircon was firing on all cylinders!! Far too hot at home but thats another good thing as I don't feel as hungry when hot! Back at work tomorrow-13hrs on a respiratory ward in 30degree heat-not so nice! However the days at work are easiest as they go quick and when I come home I am so tired I fall in the bath and then bed!

 

[al30]

Thats a brilliant loss I had that on my first week and really spurs you on

 

[dottydon]

sure does!! There was no problem having that shake for dinner tonight!! Fingers crossed for a nice loss every week now I'd love 3.5 a week lol! x

Day 9 Been a good day, have worked a 13 hr shift today so been really active! Love walking up and down the ward to get some exercise and invested in some shape up shoes to tone as I work lol! Tummy felt a bit queasy last night like I was going to have an awful stomach upset but thankfully that passed and been well today! Have been managing all my water intake which is good as wasn't sure I would be able to on the ward! One of the nurses even said my uniform looked looser-which it did feel but I wasn't sure if I was imagining it!! Nice to know if notices a bit! I think I am liking the taste of the shakes a lot more than at the start-maybe I just needed to become accustomed to them?! I actually looked forward to my fav strawberry one this evening for my "dinner"!! Love that it was a good day! xx

Day 10
Been another good day, took my youngest to the local park and lakes and he had chips and an ice-cream-me I had guess??? yep that's it water lol!! We walked round and he had a play in the park then had another walk! Went to see my friend and had a coffee still got another shake to have because being out made me miss my "lunch"!! but I'll down that shortly. Feel bloated this evening tho and not sure why that is as haven't done anything different and had enough water! Roll on way in 2! and a slim life!! xxx
