Thanks R!

Last night I blended a toffee and walnut shake with ice. Twas delicious, like ice cream. Have had my mum here last night and today, she's also doing CD so we've been supporting each other.

Today I feel good! Think I must be in ketosis <at last> loads of energy and a bit of a buzz.

Oh yeah, today was weigh in. I'VE LOST 10lbs!!
My consultant is a sweetie too.

It's all good here.

How's everyone else?

Excellent weight loss!! Well done!
 
Hi Casswass

Well done on your amazing first week loss. Glad you enjoyed the toffee and walnut shake with ice. I think it really helps if you find the flavours/things that work for you and enjoying them. For me, it's the chic mint with ice - in fact, I love any of the non-fruit flavours.

Keep blogging!
 
Thanks baby and dithin.

Yesterday started ok; I used money I'd have otherwise spent on wine to get my nails done. I've also been paying much better attention to my skincare routine - I couldn't be arsed half the time before. I've got more energy, definitely.

By the time I got home yesterday afternoon I was miserable, I wanted quorn sausage, mash, peas and gravy - my ultimate comfort meal! I didn't succumb, but I was fantasising about food - even meat and fish, and I'm a strict veggie :-O

Later in the evening, I was grumbling to myself about not being able to have a drink - started planning to eat and then go and buy some vodka, as that wouldn't take me out of ketosis?! Crazy thinking.
I decided not to, for that day. It's going to be a day at a time ATM I think.

Am going to frolic in the snow with my son later.

Hope everyone else is ok.
 
Another day done.

Felt better having been at work today. Still craving carby, tasty filling food.

Still pampering myself; I suppose that's one nice thing about having to distract from the F-WORD and treat myself nicely.

I feel more energised and have had no reflux or heartburn at all. Another two positives - yay!

Copy of the 30 Day Shred arrived today. Will start that sometime this year...

If I could just train myself into getting to bed and sleep at a decent time, I'd be a bloody fabulous fatty, what with this extended beauty regime and water. Oh, and NO BOOZE.

So funny, I thought I'd miss alcohol more than food. While I've fleetingly felt resentful about alcohol abstinence, I've had nothing like the same longing as for food. So maybe I'm learning something? I've been in denial about my eating? Maybe.

Hi I've felt the same about alcohol. I was a right wine monster and.thought I would really struggle not having it, but I've found that I've hardly missed it!! Funny how when you take food and drink out of the equation you don't miss it as much as you thought you would!!
 
Hi and welcome well done on your weight loss and for getting through week one! Know what you mean about the pampering my skin has never looked so good and I am even more organised! Not sure if its cause I am not cooking so much or just looking for things to fill my time to take mind off of food!

You are now in ketosis so won't feel hungry but even three week on I still crave food but am not hungry!

Keep going girl and you will see fab losses! Good luck x
 
I have also missed a drink but I keep thinking of all the hangovers and I dont miss them! I think when I got to my last goal of 12stone was because it was my sons 21st and I really went out most weekends after that and although i eat healthy and did not put on weight I only did this as I cut back during the week as I was partying at the weekends! I have not had a drink since new years eve and am determined not to have one all the time I am on CWP as it is dangerous whilst in ketosis! Think of when you are slim and at goal and then you can treat yourself to a drink and feel great looking as you wanted to much slimmer! Honest it is worth it!Having read this I sound like an alcholic really I am not just enjoy a drink and socialising! take care x
 
You most make me laugh Nun Like I am not sure I have ever been Nun like?? How has you day been today! I have had a busy day at work and am sat listening to TV and reading posts to catch up how everyone is doing! take care x
 
Hi Theresa, well, the only thing nun-like about me (before CD) is ahem, celibacy. :(

Well, I lost 4 lbs today, so a stone in two weeks. I am pleased with that. 1/6 of the way to goal now!
I feel so much better, yes food is still a preoccupation, but I'm fighting through it. I have noticed that I do not need my late-afternoon nap anymore!

Hope everyone is well and keeping on!
 
Oh yes, and I got some orange sunshine water flavouring. Am having it with sparkling water in my posh wine glass - I know how to let my hair down! Its really nice actually, almost has a gin and tonic edge to it. <Obviously having tastebud hallucinations>

Ooh, and and and, I got to try a lemon bar - wowzers! Had it with a cup of earl grey when I got home from weigh-in. Was a treat!
 
Day Fifteen

Still going. Feeling quite good - still having fleeting moments of hunger, which I ignore.

Bought myself a really pretty vintage-looking sundae glass to use when I blend my shakes into an ice-cream-like consistency.

Had a lick of the sunshine orange powder and it is just like citrussy sherbert. My scales say that I'm about 3-4 pounds lighter, but we'll see next week.

Keep on keeping on, everyone.
 
Days 16&17.

In a word: struggling. Cannot stop thinking of food, planning to eat it etc. Have been 100%, but feels like I'm clinging on by the edge of my teeth.

Yesterday, I nearly had a marmite and cheese panini AND a chocolate chip shortbread. I put it down though. My mum is here and trying to keep me focused, but I just feel deprived, hungry and MISERABLE.

Any advice or words of wisdom?

HELP ME PLEASE!! [dramatic]
 
I promise no matter what you have to.eat it will not give you the feeling you think it will. You are doing so well don't give in now, think of the bigger picture. CD is so quick it's short term pain hun and you are doing this for a reason, maybe many, remind yourself of those. I get such a high getting into smaller sizes, a bigger high than any food has ever given me!

Well done hun, keep going x

Hi honey really sorry to hear you are having such a bad time! As Rachel has said honestly eating will not give you the feeling you may be seeking and it will rally be a short term thing! I have done it in the past before CWP and I honestly felt so bad after worse than I did before I ate!

Have you tried reading other people's diaries, looking at people's inspirational photos! I also look back on pictures where I am at my biggest and convince myself I do not want to be back there!

If I am remembering right isnt you Mum on the plan too? She sounds like she is trying to support you!

You have done so well Hun and are nearly on day 18, that is a massive achievement you can do this Hun!

Get posting and reading I hope this helps x x x
 
Oh thank you lovelies :)

Yes, mum is also doing it, she will keep me in check! I do so want to be slim, will have a read over everyone's diaries tomorrow.

I sent my mum some HIDEOUS photos of myself and she has showed me them tonight. Bessie Bunter eat your heart out!

Thanks for your support, going sleep now and make sure my resolve stays strong for another day tomorrow.

Mwah!
