And time's flying!

Hey all!

I know I said I'll post, but time just slipped away. So I'm starting week 3 tomorrow, I've lost 6.5 kg's so far, and I feel my clothes starting to become loose. I still have a long way to go.

Trying to get used to the idea of weekends and visits, that's the most difficult, Yesterday was especially bad, I had to resist my favorite "koeksisters" but I'm proud to say that I've resisted all temptation so far, and I don't intend to deviate at all, good luck to me!

I'm still loving the food, not hungry anymore, and this little old small portion fills me up now, most of the day I don't have the crackers at all, but I eat both my fruit everyday.

My mindset is still on track, though the old thinking still slips in now and then, but the I just remind myself of how long I had to wait to be permitted to start the program, so I won't let my motivation slip at all.

Here's to another two weeks deviation free, and more weight loss!

Day 7 - Time surely flies!

Hi everyone!

Week one almost complete! so I've decided to weigh myself weekly, but this morning I just couldn't resist... I lost 4.6 kg's so far! I'm over the moon!

O.k, so I'm calming down again, back to the my original post lol. I've read over and over again that weekends are the most difficult, and indeed it is. I found myself surrounded by all my favorites this weekend, but I stayed strong and just said no! Every time someone offered something, I just looked at my phone and reminded myself:

So having almost completed my 1st week It's safe to say that I can do this, and I'm not disappointing myself this time.

So here's to another cheat free week!

Day 3 Still deciding

Hi everyone!

Day 3 and all is going well, I opted not to eat any meat for breakfast and lunch, just to see if my hunger pangs would be worse than yesterday. So I had yogurt again today, mixed with my apple and (at 7:30) I had cauliflower and ricotta cheese and two crackers for lunch at 13:30. I snacked on one cracker between breakfast and lunch and had my second fruit at 15:00.

I must say the hunger pangs are not as bad as yesterday but I still have a light headache, but its nothing I can't handle. Been reading up for some pointers and learned a lot. I just hope to God that this positive attitude carries through right till the end, I'm scared and excited all at the same time.

You might be wondering what it is that I'm deciding about, well I'm deciding about posting a before picture, or maybe just posting a before and after at the same time after I'm done with my journey.

Having never experienced what it's like to be slim, I'm absolutely terrified, but having decided to do this not just for myself but also to be there for my daughter, to see her grow up, matriculate, achieve things, getting married and so on, I'm also determined to see this through.

I started gaining weight when I was in grade 3, and believe when I say, I don't remember what being thin feels like. Over the years my weight has just climbed and climbed. I love eating just about anything and also eating nothing, which is probably the main reason why I got this way, not eating the whole day, then having a big dinner, not to mention weekends when I didn't feel like going out and buying all sorts of foods, chocolates, soda's and potato chips, basically overeating and fasting.

Anyway, I'm off to a good start, if you have anything to say please comment.
PS. This is last nights dinner.

Day 2 - 15 May 2013

So I'm on day 2 and its not too bad, I have a light headache and that about it. I was extremely hungry between breakfast and lunch, was counting the hours lol. I slowed down my eating at lunch and found that it was more filling when I ate slowly.

I had a few people asking me about the program today, cause they saw me on the facebook page. Well from what I have read while I was doing my research is nothing but positive feedback, so I'll stay on the positive train until I finish this.

My starting weight is 118.1 kg and my goal weight is 60 - 55 kg so I have between 58 - 53 kg's to lose! It's a lot and I'm scared! I've never been under 80 kg's since I can remember, maybe when I was a kid, and that don't count! Well I've had enough and I'm doing this 100%

Yesterday I had egg, mushroom and crackers for breakfast, beef, mushroom and crackers for lunch, and I had cabbage and steak for supper, I must say, I like the food.

I tried my first Cohen recipe today for lunch (tuna cakes, like fish cakes) and I loved it! and tuna weighs less so you get more! Had yogurt and a fruit for breakfast, don't know whats on the menu for supper yet.

I'm definitely gonna weigh everything this weekend, will surely cut my time in half.

Anyway, don't have a pic to post yet, but I will try.

Talk to you soon.
