Better day and Day 2

 Wednesday  88..... something.

I have been really good today.  No carbs. no alcohol.  Probably not enough water.  I had lunch of sausages and eggs and then dinner was pork steaks and half a courgette.  This evening I really wanted to snack and so I ate the rest of the tin of olives and a handful of brazil nuts.  All very calorific but I have stuck to the plan.  I also didn't have a drink.  Second day of not drinking.  I had a big glass of sparkling water which got me through cooking dinner and then by the time I had dinner the craving was past.

Tomorrow is a down day although I do have to go shopping.  I know that if I am busy I can fast.  Trouble is with me that going shopping and being hungry is not a wise move.  If I go shopping early enough I won't feel hungry so that's my plan.

Am I going to stick to the carnivore diet?  Can I stick to it?  Because it is so boring and repetitive it makes me crave the carb and sweet foods more.  I was talking to Inge today and she is starting some kind of weight loss plan which involves lots of veggies and fruit.  Now to me I have so conditioned my brain that I mustn't eat fruit or veg that now I can't face eating them.  I must not stray from this path because I know that if I stray even the tiniest bit then I am lost on a downward bingeing spiral.  I will be 90 kgs before I know it.

So tomorrow when I go shopping I will not buy foods that I think I can have a tiny cheat with ie 70% chocolate or yoghurts or biscuits.  Just meat and more meat.

I also think I should cut down on the butter and fats I am eating.  I will just eat the protein.  I will also try to get a bit of exercise and try and extend my fasting to say 2 or 3pm.  We will see.  I can do 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.
