Hi all,
Last week was awful for me. First I had such bad constipation it was causing all sorts of havoc, then I had my sister cuasing me grief over this diet.
Then I got to the weekend - Sunday I got my 4th weigh in and was really happy as lost 3lbs (18 in total)!!!!! then was my sisters birthday party. I went over to my parents house - was fretful anyway becuase I knew i'd get some grief about the diet while I was there. I'd been in teh house 20 mins, got sharp shooting pains followed by the opposite of constipation *sorry tmi*. I got all upset and cried for about an hour. My husband stayed with me upstairs as I didn't want to go see all the guests (no-one knew about my little accident).
My sister came up for a heart to heart and begged me to come off the diet as she thinks its making me ill (i think it was a stomach bug or too much fibre as I took a sachet that morning).
Anyway, I stuck to the diet but just to get my sister off my back I picked at the buffet - well I had 4 cubes of cheese without pinapple sticks, one 5th of a quorn sausage, 6 slices of cucumber, and 2 small bites of birthday cake.
I felt ill for most of the day but it was an ok day. I'd already planned to have monday off becuase it was my sisters actual birthday and we were going shopping in London, then out for a family meal. I debated a full blow out for the day but in the end decided to go for a healthy option.
I had my CD porridge for breakfast, Lunch was lettuce, an egg, chicken, cheese, and cucumber. When I was ordering it and it was put in front of me, I got so anxious I thought I might cry becuase it seemed such a challenge to eat and I worried I'd be in pain. Anyway, I had 80% of it leaving most of the lettuce (it was a big salad) and felt OK. A bit of tummy ache at first (thought I might have more problems) but it eased in about 30 minutes. Then went for dinner - I had grilled tuna steak, green beans and a couple of roasted mushrooms. I figured that was pretty good and I was not even tempted by dessert.
I went to bed bloated and really tired. I woke up in pain but nothing too bad. I also woke up really hungry so I had a pint of water and my CD porridge. I still feel hungry but its made me realise that actually I want to stick to this diet as I'd promised myself until my holiday doing a total of 6 weeks. Then maintenance on holiday and when i return I will set a new goal.
I can see how it is so easy to get off the wagon and stay off. I was so tempted by toast this morning. But I don't feel guilty becuase it was planned and maybe that makes all the difference.
Anyway, after being on a downer and so close to quitting on Sunday, I feel really good and am motivated to keep going :jelous:
Just felt like telling you all x
