Here I Go Again

Well another day over with no problems
Had Butterscotch, Chocolate and a Veg soup - all nice.
Not many temptations today (thank goodness)
Water - 4 litres
Tea - 1 cup
Coffee - 1 cup

Well I hate to tempt fate but I found today easy. I got up at 8am as I had a feeling the postman would be knocking with my new shaker (he did). I had a glass of water and a black coffee, but because we were going out I didn’t want to have my shake (weak bladder lol).
Went shopping with my Mum and husband and didn’t feel hungry til about 2pm. We went back to Mums and I drank a 75cl bottle of Evian and then didn’t feel hungry anymore, but thought I should have a food pack anyway. I’d luckily remembered to pick up a food pack (chocolate) and my new shaker. Everyone had turkey sandwiches which smelled lovely, but I wasn’t tempted.
I made up my shake and was surprised to find that it was nice. Drank more water and then went home later to cook dinner for my husband and boys. I made buffalo wings and wedges for them and I had chicken and mushroom soup made in my Frothie Maker.
I know that if I had been on a “normal” diet I would definitely have had a couple of wings and some wedges, but I didn’t today . My soup was ok but I could sense a slight powdery texture, but hey if that’s all I have to put up with to lose weight that’s fine by me! Drank more water.
At 11pm I had my last food pack (chocolate mint)- it was disgusting. I made it hot so will try it cold next time see if it makes a difference. I drank it anyway and was pleased to have made it through Day 1. Ive heard that days 2 and 3 are sometimes harder so we will have to see.

Water - 4.5 litres
Tea – 1 mug
Coffee – 1 mug

Things I nearly ate by mistake (but didn’t!!!!) – Humbug, Mint chocolate, Bubblegum .

Well after the wait I met my CDC tonight and she is lovely. Almost as daft as I am
The only problem was her scales didnt go up to my weight so as I was at WW a few weeks ago and weighed 24stone 7lbs (and haven't dieted since) we have guesstimated at around 25 ish stone !!! So Ive picked my packs Ive had Chicken and Mushroom and Veg in the soups and I've had all of the other flavours to try in the sweet flavours.
I'm raring to go tomorrow

Hoorah I'm going to meet my CDC tomorrow - I'm sure I won't sleep tonight.
Good job I work until 7pm so that I'm kept busy and not stressing about it all day.
Have just printed off my multimap directions so hopefully will have no trouble getting there.
Have drunk loads of water today and kept my carbs low. The only bit Im not looking forward to tomorrow is getting weighed and measured eeek!!!
Anyway will let you know how I get on tomorrow
Bye for now

Well as the titile of my blog says - here I go again!!
For the past couple of weeks Ive been reading about VLCD's (Very Low Calorie Diets) and have finally decided that this is the way forward for me.
Ive been going to WW for the past four years (as a helper) and managed to lose 4 stone. The only problem is that in the four years Ive also put back on the four stone plus a bit more - making me morbidly obese . Four stone seems to be my magic number, as when Ive lost that amount I put it back on again!!!!
I finally plucked up the courage to ring a Cambridge Diet counsellor and have my first meeting on Friday!!! I cannot wait I can't beleive I'm looking forward so much to giving up food, but for someone like me who is out of control I feel like it will be a relief to not have to worry about food (if that makes sense).
Ive been advised to try and cut down on carbs this week in preparation and to try and lessen the side effects (headaches etc), but didnt do so well on Monday and Tuesday.
Today Ive had a small chicken breast, cottage cheese and some red pepper(so far so good!!)
I'm sure most of my posts will be ramblings, but I think it will help to put my thoughts down on paper, although the thought of someone actually reading this scares me to death
Bye
