Water water and more water

I seriously dont know how you are meant to drink 8 glasses of water a day. Even in the summer I think I would struggle with this.

Im sat at work, with a glass of water on my desk and I do try and drink as much as I can, but it does make me feel slightly bloated, and I'm constantly going to the loo! Most of the time I am not thirsty at all but I'm drinking it because I'm meant to.

And also because I'm trying to fill my belly up due to only drinking slim fast for breakfast and lunch. Which is soooo hard. I'm doing ok though, lost 6lbs already and havent really done any exercise. Really need to get into the exercise as it will speed my weight loss right up I know it.
It is quite hard to get motivated though - oh here we go that old chestnut again! But it is! After spending all day at work, you get home have tea and it is hard to make the effort. I guess it depends on how much you really want it.

I spoke to the doctor about my weight last time I was there, she told me she could prescribe me Alli if I wanted, and then went on to explain all of the different side effects it can cause such as 'leakage' (eww) which really put me off. And anyway its not like it does the hard work for you, it just makes you eat less fat (or else it all comes out the other end in pure form yuck). Anyways, slim fast seems to be working at the moment so I will stick with this for a while. I know its not a long term solution and have read all the 'cons' on the internet but hey ho, if it helps me lose a couple of stone I'll be happy with that.

More updates soon...
