Measurement day | Beginning
Today is day 1 of my second 21 day diet goal.
Oh, I should measure myself….later… Ok now I’ve measured myself. But I have to hold these measurements to myself. These are secret and private. It took an abundance of courage for me to tell the world how much I weigh but the measurements… it’s like telling the world… no really this is what I look like.
But I have something to work off. And since this time last year I have put on about 5-6cm around my body.
Symptom: Yesterday I finished off my cheese platter plate and the lollies I bought. At night my bowels didn’t agree with me at all. The sort of time when you’re fine and the suddenly oh no! Run run run run. It’s deceptive, and annoying if you decide to go out because you think you’re all good. So my body is responding drastically to me putting lollies… and cheeses (which is odd?) into it. I had this feedback last time when I ate pizza.
So today to start I had yoghurt and fruit for breakfast, and I’ll have a Celebrity slim shake for lunch and go from there. I already, after two days of feeling like I have a bit of freedom, feel the desire for continuous eating creeping in. It doesn’t take long. It’s like I must have total control and discipline or none at all or I have to anticipate the slow rise of my old habits.
One thing I thought I’d mention is a good way to help turn away the desire to want to keep eating is chewing gum. I’ve been trying it out since I started, and it does help.
