DAY 5 !!!!

everyday that ive done this diet, ive woken up feeling pleasantly empty !! as odd as that might sound, i wake up and my stomach feels flatter, i feel lighter...... i feel empty...... the water seems to be doing something. i feel healthy! x

although today i havent quite felt like that... ive felt abit bloated... :o/ not sure why but i hope it buggers off in time for weigh in !!

maybe its my mood making me feel abit crappy.....

over all - day 5, no great problems.... roll on day 6 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

reading up.... x

ive been googling ketosis ((the state which my very low calorie diet (((vlcd))) puts me in in order to lose weight)) i know its a very controversial way to lose weight. but it seems its not all bad, and has been supported by professionals since the 70s. and of course its vastly improved since then too......

lighterlife is the only thing thats ever worked for me.... and one thing i read sort of explains why..... For obese patients, liquid diets can definitely cause a large amount of weight loss as well as an improvement in health. However, if there is no medical supervision, liquid diet programs can get misused and lead to health risks. Many mild obese patients without medical attention tend to test out various diets trying to find one more successful. However, the more one diets, the slower one’s metabolism becomes; therefore, one must eat less in order to maintain one’s weight.

that makes sense to me. ive tried loads of different things, diets, ways of eating..... excersize and nothing works. i just stay the same. i dont lose and i dont gain...... i only put on weight when im pregnant. so ive dieted myself to the stage where i cant help myself with food.

well if anything. i hope after lighterlife i can stay the same....... i managed it before.... x

DAY 3 what a flop !! xx

well little miss positive completely flopped yesterday !!!

yet another day around food....... we met up with ollys mum and dad at canary wharf and had some lunch..... now they didnt have kids portions ((we only stopped in waitrose)) so olly had a curry - looked lovely, id have chosen that too... mmm.... and i chose 1/4 bbq roast chicken for the kids and potato wedges..... they gave me 2 plates... i then had to sit there and cut up this loovveellyy roast chicken !! haha pure torture !! kids ate and enjoyed and i didnt touch it, i had my shake and i was fine........ but as id been busy had only managed 2 pack by 6 oclock hmmm not good progress.... and only a litre of water....

so got home put the kids to bed and sat down after a busy day, this was when i slipped...... my 2 year old daughter has a habit of getting things out of cupboard and leaving em all over the place......... on the table was a pile of 3 biscuits... and coconut, my fave !! lol...... completely forgetting bout the diet they were gone in seconds..... thats when i thought 'oh shit' hmmmm i wont be to hard on myself... id had a crazy day and id only had 2 packs hardly any water....... so whatever, i went to bed....... x

today ill be better i promise ;) i say sat here with my litre bottle full and ready to go and sipping on peppermint tea...... xxx

had an amazingly busy day today, had a photoshoot and like a complete fool couldnt find my camera charger so i had to go and borrow one 1st thing.... then come back have a bath, bath the kids get em ready to go to my mummas then had to tidy house and set up studio equipment for shoot... then did the photographer thannggg.... then found out that my plans had been a complete flop... everyone had dropped out and i had nowhere to go......

in the meantime..... 1 shake and 1 litre down - feeling fine, too busy to care i reckon. x

then me n olly decided to go to lakeside...... did a little shopping thought we'd go to the cinema, it was 7pm and id looked up the times previously and what we wanted was on at 8.... got there to find it had been changed to 9.... grr... then olly got hungry so i watched him eat pie n mash - which i dont like so that was fine by me lol xx

so here i am..... no kids - all with grandparents... ollys feeling sick and me stuck infront of xfactor !! im so sposed to be out right now :'(

oh well... strawberry milkshake and a bar to catch up on the packs i was too busy to consume today!

DAY 1

I woke up with a slight headache.... and remembering back to when i did LL before i thought day1 would give me a headache anyway so hey ho...... pack 1!

i had hot vanilla for breakfast, it was different from how i remembered. sweeter. spose they've changed the packs abit. i did notice some new things on the menu... porridge and chilli (?) i cant imagine the consistency i ordered what i would have ordered when i did it before. shakes and a few bars. i remember the soups making me ill and i really dont want to be put off. i figured ill try something new when im getting bored.

strawberry at lunch - while i sat as the kids ate their toddler munch.

my friend came over...... now usually when she comes round dinner is anything we can order. olly piped up ''lets get fish n chips'' so they all sat there with their plates piled high. and there i was in between em nursing a cup of hot chocolate ((they call it chocolate, they lie))

anyway, it didnt bother me as much as i thought. infact it bothers olly. he loves food and he loves to cook and hes finding it a little bit weird that hes gunna have to do it on his own.

but after day one im feeling ok..... ive done 2 and a half litres of water.. ill finish this bottle and get onto the next one so im quite happy with that.

lets hope this works. xx

copied from LL x DAY MINUS 1... oops x

i was so excited all day yesterday !! waiting for my first meeting. i was early, so i sat outside in the car and managed to break my radio - fiddeling through pure impatient excitement haha.

the class i went to before was in romford (essex) and it was in an old house which was separated into offices........ it was cold and not very inviting. everyone was weighed separately from the group and we were told not to share our losses, just incase one person lost 11lb and another only lost 3lb didnt wanna cause any arguements or something. hmm... anyway.... as much as it was like school. i always left happy - because of the loss.

this time, my class (hainault, essex) is in a ladys house. shes had a little extention on the side for her LL classes and its so much more comfortable. shes relaxed, its more like this is part of her life than just a job.

i weighed in at 206lbs (i wanna be 140lbs)........ and my LLC took my measurements. my fave part lol.... wanna see them go down!!

on the way home i stopped at the shop and got a bottle of wine (by 'a' bottle i meant 3) and some beers for the OH to celebrate the start of my journey.....

a bottle and a half later i was feeling rather tipsy and ready for bed....... only trouble with celebrating was i woke up feeling like crap.... i had a cup of tea and it came straight back !! so today hasnt been day 1.... its been day minus 1 !!

altho i did drink a fair amount of water in preparation !!

so... time for the last supper before the big day tomorrow !! how exciting !! xx

copied from my lighterlife blog. x

ive been here before....... i dont doubt that many of us have been here before... but ive been HERE before lol.... ive done so many diets over the years. and this is what ive discovered about myself.....

before i had my son... (hes nearly 4, and i was just 19) i could eat whatever i wanted..... i wouldnt put on any weight, i was around 10-11st i think, of course i had no reason to weigh myself back then.... i fit nicely into my 10s n 12s n didnt complain at all..... x

when pregnant with my son i continued to eat whatever i wanted, as i had done for years and years, and OMG i put on roughly 5 stone !!! urgh, how horrific.

i went on to lost 2n a half st, god it was such hard work and took about a year and a half !!! then i fell pregnant again..... (ella-may now 2) i didnt put on 5 stone thankgod, but i did regain the 2 n a half that i just struggled to lose!

after ella i did lighterlife....

heres a quick run down of how it went for me..... i went from 15.13 to 14 stone, in 1 month..... i lost 9lb, 8lb, 3lb, 4lb (the 1lb and 2lb the 2 weeks after i had to stop).... and my bmi went from 35.1 - 31 and my dress size went from 20 - 14

i trailed off towards the end. i was in a very explosive relationship and had such a terrible time around then....... it resulted in me and my children being whisked away to live in a refuge to escape the violence.

i hated that i had to give up lighterlife.... i had wanted to lose the weight so badly!!

ive sat through many a lecture from people who APPARENTLY know people who've done lighterlife and lost loads and loads and put it all back on straight away....

well i know someone who did it... lost 8 and a half stone in a year and still looks just as good.... and i lost what i lost all that time ago (year and a half ish) and ive had another baby since then (little miss lola-lou 9 weeks old) and im roughly 14.7 now !! so i didnt put it all back on !!

ive decided that i only put on weight when im pregnant....... i dont really gain weight.... trouble is i dont lose it either.

the only thing thats ever worked for me is lighterlife.

i never had a problem not eating. i hated water to begin with but soon got used to it. and i loved going to my meetings and hearing the loss !!! i felt like i was making real progress.....

i start next week..... on the 20th...... and i cant even begin to tell you how excited i am !!!

i cant wait to give up food and feel like im on the way to being me again !!!

3stone to go.... maybe a few lbs more..... i wanna see how it goes.... x

so............ we gonna do this or what??

im game if you are x
