So I am two weeks into this diet and i have already lost 11lb and put 4lb back on!! a big part of me thinks it was worth every pound as i had the best weekend ever... another part of me is wondering how good i would be feeling if id managed to stay 100% and actually loose....
But this diary is about getting real so there is no point in thinking like that.
I really want to loose this weight - 63lbs of it to be exact!! The reality is i know i would never be able to be 100% every day... food and alcohol are part of every celebration and social event and i know myself - i would feel deprived of enjoyment and give up if i did not allow myself a day off when i have something on - im not talking a drink after work, i am just meaning weddings and partys and er weekends away!! In reality though, i was actually pretty tame this weekend - well not with alcohol... but with food i was much more restrained and did not go mad - i really just did not need to, but wine will always be my downfall....
so I have a friends birthday drinks to go to on Friday, but i have chosen to drive and stick to my fizzy water - i managed it a few weeks ago and it was actually fine - not a struggle at all and i still had loads of fun. BUT i have wedding on Saturday and i know fine well there is no way i wont eat... so I am offering to drive so at least i wont drink as well.
I dont know if im doing this right - in fact i suspect that i am going into this with completely the wrong mindset but having regular cheat days, but i find the diet so blergh that i could not manage it without knowing i have stuff to look forward to and a break to have....
