Week 3 weigh in
I was just reading back on some of my earlier entries to see how I felt then and if it is different this time. It is - I was so desperate then I hadn't found any diet that worked and I felt the Lighterlife (the VLCD I followed back then) was my last hope. I was so good .. I hardly cheated at all and certainly not at all within the first 100days near the end of the diet I started to slip a little but it was only an extra food pack......
Well from that preamble you can guess I fell off the wagon this week - only on 1 day (Thurs) I was going to a meeting with a couple of colleagues who wanted to stop and grab lunch en route (it was a long trip) and I just couldn't bring myself to tell them i wasn't eating (male colleagues whom I didn't know well - not that that should make a difference but I hate to show weakness particularly in front of male colleagues) So I had a chicken & Advocado foccacia and said to myself I would skip tea. The sandwich sat in my stomach something chronic which you would think would help with the not eating later on......nope!! Going home I had one of those "crooked" thoughts the therapists tell you about, "I've broken the diet now I might as well break it more" I knew it was a crooked thought I knew it didn't make sense but I still did it and had 3 sushi rolls and....wait for it...a cadbury peppermint chocolate bar..... why!!!
Anyway after that you can guess my weight loss wasn't so great this week but it was still a loss 0.6kg and my cm loss on waist and stomach was good so maybe it wasn't a disaster. I got straight back on the diet and I am going to stick to it religiously this week and see if I can get a good weight loss before my add a meal week while I'm at the conference (where I will try not to go too mad....)
