How low can you go? 85.3kgs

 Monday 85.3kgs

Today is a day to celebrate!  85.3 is amazing and if I keep this up I will attain my first goal by the time Becky comes on the 8th August which is what I had hoped to achieve.  So 4 weeks to get where I am going!  I am so happy about all this.  10 kgs lost.  That's 22 lbs.  That's a stone and a half.  less than 1lb to get to my first goal weight.

I will have to make a plan for my next goal.  Is 80kgs too low?  80 would be amazing and only 5 more than when I had my op.  I think for now I am just going to keep going as I am and see how I get on.

I am feeling really good most of the time and when I don't it's my own fault in that I have either had more than one drink in the evening or I let myself get dehydrated.  Obviously bad food choices make me feel mentally bad when my weight shoots up and undoes all my good work.  The thing is it is not the end of the world as long as I get back on it but it takes so long to get back to where I was.

So the plan for today is that this morning we are going to visit my Auntie.  Then this afternoon I am going to walk up to Sally's house and spend a couple of hours with her.  This will be the perfect test of my fasting plan.  So I need to fast until 5.30pm for 20 hours.  I will take with me some brine to sip.  If that doesn't work I will also take a tablespoonful of butter.  I will try and make that work until I get home.  I must plan.  I could take a piece of bacon to eat if that doesn't keep me going.  What to do?  If I take the bacon it kinda sets me up to fail because I don't have to white knuckle it to the end.  I'll think on this.  Maybe the test is that I take the bacon and don't eat it because I choose not to.  This will flex my resolve and determination.  Tweak it till it's easy.  For dinner tonight Mum is cooking her famous belly pork which is perfect for me.

Today I am grateful for

This way of eating which is really suiting me.

Doing this blog, so that I can look back at how I have done.  I can see what worked.  What didn't.  How I fixed it.  

Me.  I am so proud of myself.  I did this.  I have had support but I did this.

Week 5 and dose increase - 89kgs 14 st

 Gosh this is so tough.  I read all these people who are losing shed loads of weight and have no food noise and have to force themselves to eat.  If only! I have learned a saying whilst on the FB grou0s and that is 'Comparison is the theif of joy'.  This is so true.  I'll tell you something else that is the their of joy...l the bloody scales.  There is nothing more guaranteed to make you feel like crying than that square foot of glass.  But hey ho it is what it is. So today is the first of the 5mg dose.  I have to admit I am scared and really i had planned to take it yesterday but kept putting it off.  This morning I knew I had to do it and so I did the full 5ml into my belly.  I had been toying with the idea of doing a 3/4 dose but I am paying all this money to lose weight and it needs to bloody happen, otherwise it's just a waste of time and money.  There is still some liquid in the 2.5ml pen and I feel passed off that I might hav...

Week 6 - 5mg - 88.3kgs 13 st 12lb Read this often!!

 It's not exactly going fast.  I find it so disheartening when I read the massive losses people are having on the lower dose and on this dose but in only a couple of weeks.  It is what it is.  I am not exercising but I am so fucking tired all the time. I don't seem to have the energy for exercise.  I am trying to be careful about calorie intake and also protein but maybe I am not as careful as I could be.  I am not starving and I am trying to make this a way of eating that is sustainable.  I don't want to be not eating bread for the rest of my life.  If I want a bit of bread then I can have it after of course considering how the day is going. I weighed myself 2 days ago and I was 87.2kgs.  OMG I wanted to cry.  Sadly it didn't last as you can see from the numbers at the top.  I do reckon that alcohol is something which affects my weight loss.  I have not drunk wine and only had spirits with water.  Either vodka or spiced r...

Week 2 - 90 kgs 14 st 2lbs

 Week 2 Last week was quite surprising as I really had no side effects but also didn't have any positive effects like food noise reducing.   Well I don't think I did.   I did eat more healthily though.  I ate what I wanted and had bread and chocolate but not in excess and I think am thinking about food differently.   A couple of times I have left food on my plate, and a couple of times I have thrown food away where normally I would have forced myself to finish whatever was on my plate and I would definitely have put it in the fridge for later.  The scales have gone down but as they are mechanical scales it's hard to say exactly how much.  Today I took a photo of the scales so that I can compare. I think I have lost 2lbs but that is fine because at no time was I feeling like I was on a diet or deprived.
