Right! Starting again. Just slightly messed up my body (and brain) and need to get back into it, why is it always so much harder the second/third time round..?! I wasn't eating properly and I have a feeling my metabolism just died, I came off of my 'diet' altogether for 4 weeks: 1) because I stopped losing weight and 2) because I had 4 birthdays in the month of June and it just wasn't even worth trying with all the dinners/alcohol etc Apologies in advance for the blast of TMI that's about to hit your eyes but another really annoying thing is that my Implanon arm implant device thing ran out, I completely forgot about it and have had it in for 3 years (massive contributor to the initial weight gain, would definitely not recommend/ever get one again) but yeah, it had to come out. So okay, that's the Etonogestrel/Progestin or whatever the hell kind of hormone it pumps out daily working its way out of my system after 3 years and man I feel rough. I am retaining water like a sponge and to top it off, I've been given some new thing...called...I can't remember but it has increased my appetite by a million % I could literally eat for hours on end and 10 minutes later feel like I haven't eaten in weeks - which is really not ideal when you have your last bit of fattage to lose. So all I can really say right now is ergh. So in the middle of all of this nonsense, I am trying to lose...probably about another stone (14lbs) but would obviously be happy with more :))) and I have 8 weeks until I go back to the homeland and visit my family in Sardinia and I kind of need my beach bod to arrive asap or I'm going to be led on the beach with people surrounding me throwing water on my body to keep me alive before they can push me back into the sea with a crane...I honestly didn't mean for this to become an essay, basically all I wanted to say is that I am starting again but I want to try a VLCD (I know they're not good for you blah blah) I've never really done one and want to see if it will work even for a few lbs, worth a shot! So I bought a few packs from a site called Exante, I've done my research and to be honest, I'm not a counselling / AA meetings type of person so it seems like it could work for me. I wasn't going to write about it here because I'm kind of afraid that I will last about 1 minute before I fail, but here I am! Just so I can hold myself accountable, hope it will motivate me to give it a proper shot and see some results. I'm also just being lazy and hope that because the calories will be so restricted I will get away with no working out :) We shall see! We live and we learn, I'm about to do some learning with this and day 1 is officially today. I have a wedding to attend this Saturday and if this water doesn't make its way out of my body soon I will have to wear a bin bag so fingers crossed all of these hormonal imbalances settle down. I wish I was born a man.
