Day 8
I know the weeks are going to fly by, as they do in everyday life. Where has this last year gone? The children's school summer hols (all 7 weeks of them this year) went by in a flash. I have to do 2 school summer hols on this TFR 100%, 14 weeks in total and I'm one week down. It feels like such a long time though to not eat and enjoy food. I know it will be worth it though - a short period of deprivation for great reward health wise. You've got to put in the work to reap the benefits.
One reason I'm determined not to cheat is because I want off this diet ASAP, and to lose as much as I can come December. I know I will have a few stones still left to lose at that point, but if I can avoid having to start TFR again in Jan, and can manage with a regular diet (Slimming World), then that's what I hope to do. I don't ever want to do this again as long as I live. Twice is enough!
Am back to work tomorrow after being off sick last week. I'm sure this will bring with it new challenges whilst colleagues eat around me and offer cakes and all sorts of yum things. I think it'll be okay though.
I've told most people about this diet, but have also said I will not justify it or defend it to anybody, and if they want to know more about it then they need to go and look at the Lipotrim website and view the video, etc. Some 'friends' can be so judgemental about it, with comments like 'be safe', 'that's a lot to lose in one week, you be careful', 'so what's this diet all about then, what do you eat?'. Not even followed by a well done! It hacks me off. I know their intentions are coming from the best place, in that they worry this diet isn't safe, but they don't take the time first to understand the diet, but instantly judge it. Do they think I'm stupid? Like I've not looked into any risks that may go with rapid weight loss. Surely the weight I'm carrying is far more of a risk to me than anything this diet can pose. Surely they've seen me struggle over the years with self confidence problems that my weight has caused. Surely over the years they've seen me battle to lose it via conventional methods of healthy eating and exercise. It hasn't worked for me. I'm still fat and miserable! Why can't they just support me
Oh and comments like 'if you lose it fast it's more likely to go back on' really get on my nerves. I've lost slow before and that's gone back on so hey, what the heck! It's not how fast you lost it, it's how much you eat when you stop dieting regardless of the diet you do.
Anyhow, I expected that sort of thing. This is why I'm so glad of this place. A place where people get it
Besides, their disapproval only makes me more determined to succeed so I can say, hey, look, I didn't die and I'm healthy and I still have loads of energy and (hopefully) look the weight stayed off too!
Now go and educate yourselves and your narrow minded beliefs
Rant over! lol
