Welcome on board girls it's great to have you.

Well friends have just left just stuffed myself stupid which is really stupid because I now know that the next few days will be much worse due to the carb hangover I will have. I had decided to go slowly and cut out all sugar about 10 days ago but the old all or nothing thinking slipped back in you know the "I can't have cake/chocolate etc for the next six months so. Will eat a whole bath load today grrrrrrr. Even as I write it it sounds so stupid I have put another 4lb on over the last few days with this attitude as if I didnt have enough to lose already.

Oh well. That's done now. Looking forward I have written a list of affirmations which I will read twice a day, every day and any time I want to stray off plan. Reasons why I want to lose weight. Here goes

Health

I will be able to walk without pain
I will be able to play football with my grandchildren
I will see my grandchildren get married and have babies
I am much less likely to die young
I am much less likely to suffer a heart attack or a stroke
I will be able to travel and see the world much easier with less pain
I am much less likely to need knee or hip replacements
I will be able to cycle with peter
My thighs won't rub any more
I will live longer

Appearance

I will be able to wear fashionable clothes
I will feel more sexy
I will be able to wear a bikini without feeling self conscious of my weight
I will be able shop for clothes with ease
I will be able to wear jeans
I will be able to wear heels
I will be able to dance without feeling self conscious
I will not need to worry whether the seatbelt will fasten on an airplane

Psychological

I will feel more confident
I will feel I have achieved something marvellous
I will feel more able to ask for what I want
I will feel Better inside my self so I don't have to rely on others praise to make me feel good
I'll be less self critical
I'll be more assertive
I'll get more compliments
I will be more attractive

Anyone else prepared to share theirs. Every time we want to eat something off plan we can remind ourselves and each other of why we are doing this.

Tomorrow morning is d day. I know getting through the first few days can be tough but I will check on here and remember all of these reasons why I need to stick to plan

This sounds like it could have been written by me! They're almost the same as my own reasons. I'm on my first day, just brought my start date forwards from 4th August to today because my knee and ankle are giving me such a problem. I'm famished and doing 4 meals and some egg and mushroom. I figured that would put me on 800 cal/day which is still VLCD. I'm ok so far, first day nearly over, really famished, but I really need to lose a lot of weight fast. How did your first week go?

May make an iced one or try it hot when I get back from the cinema!

Have my bottle of coke zero at the ready!

I want to be in ketosis already lol!
Getting weighed with a friend tomorrow so will see how I've done after 4 days

Wow it's great to see my fellows July starters doing so well, the losses are clocking up now I'm really not liking all this " I've only lost..." stuff though - EVERY loss is a massive achievement and a step closer to the goal, don't forget this! It would be amazing if we lost what we wanted each and every week however our bodies work in their own ways. Stick to the plan and the weight will come off
Let's be positive and celebrate the losses
