I cant believe its been so long since I last posted. To be fair I have been trying to log into my account for the last couple of weeks but couldnt remember the email I had been using or the password, then I remembered the email address but for the life of me could not remember the password.... any who its all sorted now so I'm back.
I cant remember what I weighed when I first started this, or if I even mentioned my weight anywhere on the blog, but I would imagine I'm pretty much the same now as I was then.
Inbetween now and then I have got married! Yes me married. I actually lost nearly 2 stone in the run up to the wedding, but I did it by practically starving myself and exercising more than I ever have done before. Its now a year and half later and I have put it all back on again. Pathetic hey. I think to myself why didnt I just keep going, I would be at my goal weight by now. But I didnt because as I have mentioned before I have no willpower and if I dont have something to aim for I go to pieces.
The main reason I felt motivated to start this blog again is the fact I'm trying the Dukan Diet which is a little like the Atkins Diet except it encourages you to eat lean cuts of meat and very low fat dairy products instead of absolutely any meat and dairy (inc cream).
You spend the 1st week eating nothing but protein (meats, fish and eggs) and v.low fat dairy plus 1.5 tblspns oat bran per day. I'll admit, this is going to be really really hard even though its only for the first 5-7 days (I'm going to try and do it for the whole 7 days as I have a fair bit to lose). This first phase is called the 'attack phase' and is supposed to kick start your weight loss.
The next phase is called the 'cruise phase' and this is where you alternate between protein only days and days where you introduce other food such as veg and fruit. This continues until you have reached your goal weight, so for me anywhere up to a year.
This is what I will be eating/drinking today:
Breakfast- Fat free strawberry biopot with 1.5 tblspns oat bran mixed in
Lunch- Prawns, low fat cottage cheese, possibly some lean ham
Tea- Ham omlette, possibly low fat soft cheese on the side
Snacks- crab sticks, possibly vanilla roulade (got a good recipe from the Dukan Diet website for this one!)
Few cups of tea
Can of diet coke
1.5 litres of water
I have tried losing weight off my own bat, it works initially but I just dont have the willpower or stamina to keep it going past the first couple of weeks. So this is why I'm trying to follow an actual diet - where the rules and regulations and boundaries are clearly set out for you.
I've heard good things about this diet, I'm not naive trust me, but I havent read a single bad review and the weight losses seem to be pretty decent.
It takes willpower..... of which you know I'm pretty low on, but I'm really going to try my hardest.
I dont know if its in my head, but I feel the biggest I have ever been at the moment. Actually it must be in my head as I know I have weighed more than this.
I dont feel I look nice in anything I wear. I catch my reflection in a window and cant believe that fat person is me. I look at girls who are overweight and wonder if I look better or worse than them, or if thats what I look like. It makes me feel sick.
I dont think I will ever not be like this, even when I do lose the weight, it will be a lifelong struggle for me. But if I can get to goal weight I will just have to keep it under control, then its just about maintaining.
I will do it.
