Started walking... will I keep it up? Day 6 AF

Sunday  Day 6 AF

Look at me go!!!  I haven't had a drink for 6 days.  It is so hard and I really really want one.  I even went into the utility room just to look at the bottle.  But I just had a glass of sparkling water and walked away from it.
Eating wise I have been pretty good I think.  I fasted until about 1.30pm and then had some bone broth and then some chicken warmed up in butter with some cream cheese.  For dinner I had 2 fairly thin pork chops with creme fraiche and blue cheese.  I feel satisfied but still crave something sweet.😒 I am going to weigh myself in the morning so I really would like to be very good and not have anything.

I went for a lovely walk this morning with the dog through the woods.  I really enjoyed it and so did she.  We did 7.5 kms when we got back and 11,000 steps so I was very happy with that.  I have planned to try and go out every day if I can.  I don't have to do the whole walk  and maybe I can just do even a short walk but I really do need to get myself fitter before we go to Spain. 

What am I going to do if I haven't lost any weight or if it is just a small amount like 200g?  I will be so devastated because I am trying so hard.  It's no good second guessing what is going to happen.  I just have to suck it up.  If I haven't lost any weight then I am going to have to look at my fat intake?  I saw something the other day and they hadn't lost weight because they had eaten too much protein.  Should I cut down on the protein first and up the fat?  I don't know how I would eat more fat.  I just can't get hold of the sort of fats I want to eat like the fat on a sirloin steak.  I would eat that in a heart beat but I can't get any.

I'll see what tomorrow brings and think about the way forward then.

Fingers crossed for the morning.  Will it be 👍or 👎

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.
