Day 4 AF 87.

 Friday 87kgs

So things are going better and the scales are moving.  Today I managed to fast until about 5pm and then had chicken and burger for dinner with some cream cheese.  I had a greek yoghurt after with a teaspoon of sugar.

I have been very good and not had a drink at all.  I was so tempted and had flashes of real craving.  I nibbled some brazil nuts and then at the real tempting time whilst I was getting dinner I had a big glass of fizzy water.  Once I had finished my dinner that craving went and I felt fine.  I think the not drinking is harder or at least as hard as not eating the things I want to eat.  I would love to feel that I have given up drinking but that is a hard thing to think.  I have Inge et al coming to lunch on Wednesday and will offer a bottle of Prosecco.  I am not sure that I will be able to say no to it.  My problem is that it is a bit like dieting.  If I'm not weighing myself I am not dieting.  I am either eating carbs or I'm not, I'm either carnivore or not.  I am either drinking or I am not.  I am going to have to learn this whole other way of maybe only drinking in company and not because it is my habit to drink when I am getting dinner or when I am stressed.  
I will take it a day at a time and today is day 4 and all is well.

Tomorrow is a bit of a blank day so I think I will see how long I can fast for by keeping myself busy.  I have some broth in the fridge which I can drink.  I will plan to eat late evening and just eat protein although I don't know what as I am planning something with Pasta for Mike.  I have plenty in the freezer.  

3kgs to go to get to 85.  I can do that if I stick with the plan.  When I get to the UK it is my plan to go to Aldi and buy at least 10 steaks and fish, probably salmon.  I can then have no excuse to go off piste apart from Christmas day.  Wouldn't it be amazing if I could not have a drink until Christmas day?  If I lasted that long then I think I would not drink on Christmas day.  But that is a long way ahead and I have been here before.

Trust yourself Gail.  You 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.
