I started the BSD in January. And February. And September. And again on October 3 – but have already had a blip. I have managed to get myself back on track (ish) and one thing that is really helping me is reading these forums on a daily basis, so I thought I would start my own journal here too.
Even though I’m really not hungry I can’t get past the feeling that I want to eat. That I “deserve” to eat! This afternoon I was so close to running out to the shop and buying all sorts of junk. So bored of myself!
On the plus side, I didn’t run to the shops. And I am doing much better with regard to weighing and measuring myself and making sure I walk a lot more than I was previously. But I’m so envious of the organised people here who have spreadsheets and meal plans, cos I just can’t get that together.
The reason I want to stick with it is that it works – for various reasons I’ve not been to see a GP for a long time so I don’t know about my blood sugar or pressure but do know I’m losing inches from my waist and kilos from my weight, and that is encourahing. Have lost just over 6kgs so far, in another 9kgs I’ll have a BMI that is no longer in the overweight range. I should feel so much more positive, but I seem to struggle every day at the moment. Hope tomorrow is better!
