Day 7 - Official weigh in
Hi there - just got back from the pharmacy - and i am chuffed that the chemists scales are not too different to mine after all. 1 stone 2 pounds lost. I'm absoloutely bloody exstatic.
I am convinced an awful lot of this is water - in fact i can see the decrease in the size of my legs - which are normally terrribly swollen due to the lymphoedema.
I know the weight loss cant possibly contiue at this rate - but i am going to wallow in my success for a day or two. Its certainly very motivational.
Its quite strange really but i am almost finding it easier to have the shakes and no solid food than when i have previously cut down on regular diets. I suppose this is evidence of my addiction to food.
Had my mother in law around for tea last night and made a cheese and onion quiche and salad for tea - it looked and smelled fabulous. I just got on with the washing up while they were eating and then joined then for coffee afterwards.
Heres to week two then!
