I started this weight loss journey a couple of weeks ago and keep a written diary for the first couple of weeks of my thoughts and progress. I am going to share this diary on the blog site form now on as you never know who I might inspire and also I belive it will help me on my jouney also. So below are the beginings of my Weight Loss Journey.

So I admit I was a bit horrified when I was weighed in the office on my first day and I was already thinking of excuses such as the fact I was fully dressed, it was the middle of the day etc. etc.  However that in itself was quite a motivating factor.  I decided I would ‘start’ the whole programme on the Monday so that I could prepare myself and plan what I need to do – and so I started ok on the Monday.  Throughout the week I was very busy at work and the thing I found hardest was ensuring I took the supplements 20 minutes before eating.   Frequently forgot and would be eating lunch and think about it so I took them then rather than not take them at all.  Traditionally, I’ve always struggled to keep a food diary too but this time I ensure I completed it every night before I forgot anything.

It’s now been over a week since I started and the main positive difference I’ve found is that I’ve pretty much stopped eating between meals.  I actually don’t ‘fancy’ things as much as I used to.  This is probably the supplements you gave me so I’m very happy about that.  I am also sleeping really deeply which is great!

Next week it will be even easier to plan meals etc as my vegetarian daughter will have left home so I can meals better and take my lunch in to work.  This will also work well for my husband – we’re both very happy with soup and sandwiches for tea!  Things are hectic at work which is always a challenge but I am committed to making this work.
