I can do this!
Hi all,
I originally wasn't going to bother with a weight loss diary, but then I thought maybe I should. You see I am a very slow loser. It doesn't matter how little calories I eat or how good I am, my body just wont co-operate. It's quite happy to store all my fat and keep me obese ,but whenever I try to get rid of those unwelcome pounds it sticks to them like glue. So I thought there must be other slow losers out there like me and maybe this diary will make them feel better when they realise that not everyone has those massive weekly 4-5lbs losses and that its okay to go slower.
Now I am only on week two and maybe...just maybe I might have one of those nice big losses as the weeks roll on, but from prior experience when I was on the Cambridge Diet, I lost 9 lbs in 9 days and then nothing for the next three weeks and I didn't cheat once, eventually I lost motivation and gave up. A few years later I tried Cambridge Diet again but this time did the 810 plan where you can have some food and lo and behold I actually had a stead loss of around 3lbs per week. I did this for a month but then couldn't afford to continue on.
I have now discovered Exante after a small dabble with Lipotrim (didn't get on with the Pharmacist. He basically accused me of cheating just because my losses were low when I had in fact been 100%) and am thrilled that there is no pressure from a counsellor who is going to think I am not doing the diet properly when in fact I am and I can go as slow as I need to without dreading weigh day and wondering what they will think. The only person I have to answer to is myself and if I am happy with my slow journey then success will be there for me in the end.
Two weeks ago I started working solutions. Well my version of it anyway. I am basically having two packs and a bar and a simple chicken breast (no veggies or salad) every night. That chicken breast helps me stick to the diet. Otherwise I would have caved at the beginning as it is a very hard diet, especially when you don't see those big losses every week motivation can flag. Knowing I can have that chicken is what keeps me going as I have a husband and three kids whom I have to cook for every night. So to be able to sit down with them and eat something is great.
Gosh I feel like I have written a novel.
Have to buy some new scales on Friday as my old ones died on me a few days ago so today I weighed in on the Wii. I hope the new scales don't make me heavier.
Anyway week 3 starts today. Would love to have a good loss next week but seeing as TOTM is due on my next weigh day I fear I may STS. So we shall see.
Thanks for reading
