Monday 11th Feb - Day 6

Almost a week now... first weigh in tomorrow!

Survived my first weekend on C.D. Although my partner should be shot... He ordered a pizza and chips from the local takeaway last night... mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm!

Nevermind, just 'cos im dieting doesnt mean everyone else should have to deny themselves too.
I'm sure there will be plenty of temptations over the next few months, i just need to deal with them and remember WHY i am doing this... 'cos i am big-time FAT!

I forgot to weigh myself this morning and only remember after my 1st litre of water so didnt see much point after that. Only one more day til weigh in. Lets pray for the 1st stone, what a milestone that would be.. and also a miracle!
No diet will ever be the same again (lets hope i dont need to do another one...). I mean how could i cope with a 1/2lb loss each week?????

I know this diet is just the start and the main criticism is that people pile the weight on at the end. BUT i am determined to do all the different stages needed to adjust back to real food and make sure that i follow a healthy lower-carb diet.

I know that carbs are the root of all evil for ME! Not everyone will have this problem but with carbs i just want to eat and eat and eat. I can easily overeat at every meal. For example pasta or jacket potatoes or toast... I can eat far more than a 27 yr old short lady should... or could!

I remember whilst on the Atkins i read that when you eat carbs the full-up signal is sent to the brain alot slower than when you eat more protein. Therefore as the signals are slower your body allows you to overeat. Whereas if you increase the protein then the signal gets there faster, allowing you to fill up faster.
After C.D i will def cut down on carbs (a less strict Atkins diet), they also make me feel extremely bloated. So good riddance!

So day 7 tomorrow... ooh eee aah im excited!!!! I am loving the shakes (especially banana) and am super motivated still. Got friends signing up tomorrow so ill have a little CD network for support and a little competition LOL ;-)
Fingers crossed for a good result!
