Hi
I have decided to keep a written record of my journey with lighter life.
Hopefully this will take my mind off food and remind myself along the way how I feel.
I have read lots of other stories about people who feel great and strong from day one and honestly thats not how I feel at all.
I am on day two, started yesterday morning with the raspberry milkshake, not sure about that one and then for luch tried the chocolate in the new shaker I was given at the group, not great hard to mix it all in.
Had thai chilli soup later on bit better and finished the day with banana mousse- ok
All this and four litres of water which resulted in un-countable trips to the loo but nothing worthwhile comes without a price so we are told.
I am not naturally very slim and love to eat- not a great combination. I also love clothes and want to look good so something had to change.
I have tried numerous ways to lose weight with varying degrees of success.
Lost three and a half stone by taking tablets and felt great at the end and managed to keep it off for about three year but been four stone overweight for about three years now so I have taken the plunge and decided to do something about it.
I am scared to say that this will be my last dieting effort because I know I have failed so many times before but I have at least taken the first step so am on my way.
If anyone out there is about to embark on a similar journey then please drop me a line.
The group meeting seemd Ok a mixed bunch and a good laugh, actually looking forward to seeing how everyone goes next Wed. I was a bit worried about going as thought it would be a bit like the stereotypical alcoholics meetings on TV... Hi I am Tracey and I eat too much!! But it was not like that at all and dont let the group sessions put you off it was very friendly.
Well off to do house work and keep my mind off food, until its time to cook for the family of course, then its cook serve and get out of the way asap, but looking forward to my pop in on Monday and seeing if I am on the right track.
