I thought I better start keeping a diary of my weight loss and other stuff, I am not sure if anyone will read it, but if you are welcome to my ramblings!
My reasons why I decided to diet might seem a little strange well they do to me, I go every year with my two best friends to Whitby to the Goth weekend and this year was no different but I felt awful and it wasn't just the fact that I was in a corset, I felt sluggish and really unhappy deep down, but on the outside I was my usual happy bouncy self, every time I got on the scales my weight was more than it was the time before and I was eating hardly anything! ok I do have a wonky thyriod but even the tabs for that didn't seem to help!
I had a migraine on the day we left and felt throughly awful, when I got home I cried this is something I never do, my poor OH didn't know what the hell was going on and neither did I!
The next day I was so ill with a chest infection that had appeared over night I really felt so not myself, it was during the night that I woke up and came on to the pc and for some unknown reason, I typed diet into the search! and up came this fab forum and I spent around 4 hours reading stories and even crying at the before and after pics.
It was now Friday 7th November a week before my 43rd birthday and I knew I had to do something about the weight, but what diet to go on so I spent a whole day researching various diets, I looked at Weight watchers and slimming world, they got ruled out because of the amount of food - I am not a big eater - I looked at the Cambridge diet - but no food at all and no tea with milk, so I came on here and saw w8 and thought that sounds good, so I emailed my local consultant and she rang me the next day and we had a long chat. In the meantime I spoke to my best friends and told them what I was going to do, they thought I was totally mad but will suppport me 100%.
The date was set for me to start W8 the day after my birthday, my consultant came round the day before my birthday and told me everything in detail and that she was only a call or text away if I needed anything.
The day of my birthday arrived and I went out with my friends and we sort of had a farewell drink to the old me
I started W8 on 15th November, the first two three day were tough and I mean tough, but all I kept saying to myself is that I can do this, and before I knew it was the end of my first week and to my honest shock I had lost just over 5 pounds, my lovely consultant said that if I wanted to eat just eat at weekends so I did, and believe me food tasted so amazing, and well cherry tomatoes well they are better than choclate!
This week I really didn't think I had lost that much much I had lost another 3 and half pounds, I have weighed myself this morning and I have lost another couple of pounds, and I am sure I am finding this too easy
I have also bought myself a wii fit and I love it! its so much fun and I am sure that helps
Well thanks for reading my long entry and no doubt I will write more about me in it shortly
