Hi guys! I've been lurking for a few days and decided I needed to join. I had a very bad diet day yesterday and just wanted to quit. I've been on the diet for just over a month now and have come to realize there are very few of the supplements that I can stomach. The more I eat those few the more I'm getting burnt out on them. I think I just needed a pity party yesterday because I woke up feeling fine this morning.
Anyway, a little more about me. My name is Lori (sorta obvious
) I'm 26 and as of last month I'm engaged to the love of my life, Jack. We've been dating for 6 years so it's about time! No, I'm not doing the diet just for my wedding. I think that's the stupidest question and people keep asking me. I think next time someone asks I'm going to answer like this "Yes, I'm doing the diet just for my wedding and I'm hoping to gain the weight back as soon as possible after it" lol. I'm doing it for my life, for my health and happiness and yes, looking hot on my wedding day is an added bonus.
I am attending the TSFL meetings every Thursday but I missed the last 2 meetings due to illness. I've also been off the exercise wagon due to my illness as well. I wound up with a lovely upper respiratory infection and am having a hard time breathing so until that goes away it's strictly diet and no exercise.
I'm hoping to give the ol' treadmill another shot on Monday and see how it goes. So far in the first month I'm down about 23 pounds and have another 100 to go. I've been trying to take weekly pictures and yesterday I compared my 1 month to my day 1 photo and WOW! What a difference! It's so encouraging to see yourself just melting away.
A questions for you guys:
What do you do when you feel like you've just had it with the food?
A little background on how my diet started. My doctor put me on the full fast (5 supplements - shakes only) and within 4 days I was puking from the shakes. I was to the point that I would rather have starved then drank another shake. The nutritionist thinks I just couldn't handle the sweeteners in them. I don't know. Luckily my mom who says she's doing the 5&1 (and doesn't realize fast food doesn't count as a lng lol) had soups and what not and sent me some food. It was like heaven to get something of substance and I've since stopped drinking the shakes all together. I slowly started getting burnt out on some of the soups since that was all I was eating and am now eating the oatmeal 2 times a day, usually 1 bar and a stew. I've also gotten to the point where I am eating a lng meal every day instead of my 5th supplement. The doctor had told me that if I "absolutely felt like I needed it" I could replace a supplement with the lng. Well, it's become a daily thing. It's not that I need it, it's that I don't want to eat any more supplements and that seems to be the only thing that saves me every day. I guess in a way that means I do need it.
Ok, that's enough rambling. Thanks for having me here!
I also like the oatmeal, pudding, bars and RTD shakes.
