Week One - Living on motivation
This is my first week - and indeed my first atempt with a very low calorie diet - Lipotrim.
Before i have always thought - i love food too much - i couldnt cope living on drinks - i have no will power.
Basically i feel things have got so bad with back pain and my other health problems - i have primary lymphoedema, that i HAVE to do take drastic measures to get rid of this constant pain.
Day 1 was very tough - thought about food all day - but still felt incredibly motivated. I had the Chicken soup for lunch - which i felt was disgusting. It made me gag. I felt worried that this may not be a good omen. For tea i made the shake into a mousse - thinking that less quantity would be easier to stomach. No - it was vile. I really began to doubt whether i wpould be able to cope if i couldnt keep down the shakes.
Day 2 - i tried a spoon of coffee and a sweetener in the vanilla shake and it was fine - a breakthrough. Then later i had another shake made with the full quantity of water. Again fine. I felt fabulous - amazingly no hunger - and i was probably doing more exercise than normal - with the extra trips to the loo - with all the water i had drunk.
I almost felt scared - i may actually be able to do this!!
I'm now on day 4 - i actually feel great - less bloated - lighter somehow - and WHERE HAS THIS WILLPOWER COME FROM??
A bit of a headache today - i must need more water - but otherwise great.
Looking forward to my weigh in on Monday.
