Day 9 -11: 13/01/12 - 15/01/12 Peak Time
Decided to write all these days together as nothing much was really different to them. I have been a bit moody this week to be honest but its more short fuse than anything and I've realized that I do miss food but I need to get back into the head space. The diet is beginning to get a small bit boring for me and i'm starting to get tempted that if I eat just one low calorie portioned meal a week, it could work. But no. I know I have to continue and everyday I can feel my tummy tingling and I know that means its melting away. And anyways, I've spent a bit on new clothes so I have to keep going
. I've cut down to two shakes some nights because I would literally be sick if I took the third so I just drink extra water- I have told my pharmacist about this and he said to keep trying to take it but its a matter of actually forgetting it until its too late to take it or just going to make it and grabbing a glass of water instead. So, I'm wondering do I need a break from three shakes a day and should I ask for flapjacks. I've tried the stuffing and the chocolate and every way to mix them up but I'm just bored- I wonder has this happened anybody this early??
I went to a wedding fair yesterday and there was canepes everywhere and lots of free food testers and although I would have liked to have tried them I passed. I did however do something unknown to myself. My OH asked me to grab him a few bits on a plate and I did and accidentally hit off a piece of sauce with my finger and it went straight into my mouth. It felt weird to taste a sauce again but even though it was just the tiniest bit i realized with a slap why i was still on LT because if that had been me 3 weeks ago that plate would have gone over to my table with me.
The loss has really helped me cope too. The people that do know I'm doing the diet have been asking me how I'm getting on- I think that they want me to say that its hard etc etc so that can give me the "I told you so" but I'm just telling them that I had a big loss last week and I hope it continues. I have a christening next Sunday and the afters is in a pub. I'm just so happy it isn't a sit down meal it's finger food so I don't have to eat and I can move around discreetly telling people I'm full or I'm stuffed.
Other than the above, i am still getting a little light headed and i do get headaches again but that could be down to my water intake i'm not getting too worried about it yet. I believe I could have also skipped a period due to the physical change in me- in the last few days its more noticeable that the weight has gone and that has happened before on my other diets so I won't worry about that just yet, my pharmacist also said this could happen- just in case there are people who are afraid to ask that question. I do have bundles of energy, I have started exercising and the exercise bike is in full swing while the TV is on! Its better to watch Eastenders/Emmerdale/Corrie while cycling rather than lazing off on the couch.
I am a happier person for doing this and I know I will be unbelievably happy once the results are truly final in 8 weeks and I am a whole new different person.
Keep up the good work everyone!!!
