Thanks Nat btw - I was so disappointed and no one I know "gets" it. My family or my bf. Hardly any of my mates know I'm doing this because they're all slim and have never dieted (well one or two have but their goal was to lose 5 pounds for their bikinis). They'd disapprove of the vlcd and I feel so foolish and disheartened right now I can't bear them knowing.
You're welcome lovely,
I know how you feel - my OH had a pretty hard time understanding, so I told him to either read in to it, or stop nagging, because until someone understands the science behind it, they have no idea how successful these diets are, if followed 100%, then the re-feed and careful maintenance.
So, once I told him that, he shut up. I don't care what he thinks now - all I know is, this diet is working. Yes, the first week may have been mainly water & muscle, but from now on it's fat loss all the way. I'm doing this for me, not him
No one needs to know. You have lots of support on here, you can PM me anytime, we're in this together! You tell people IF and when you're ready - it's no one's business but yours, unless you want to make it so.
That doesn't make you selfish or secretive, it is your way of dealing with the shock to the system of starting this VLCD, and your emotions are runnning high.
They WILL calm down lovey, I promise you, just keep with it, and hold that pretty head of yours very high, because what you're doing is no easy feat, and many will stumble at the first hurdle.
You are STRONG, you may not feel it, but you are. The fact you're still doing this, proves that. And you should be very, very proud of yourself right now.
Think of all the positives, they outweigh any negatives.
Tell people if and when you want to - no one needs know if you don't want them to - it's no one else's business but yours!
Am here, always. I hope you know that
