Dear Journal and Dear Fat Secret Community,

oh my, what a day I spent two days ago.
Remember the salad I ate on my first new life-style day?
Well, apparently I must have mistankenly added quiet a bit of cabbage to it thinking it was normal, innocent, harmless lettuce.

Why this happened?

Well, my husband couldn't help but close his restaurant due to the lack of tourists during this last Covid outbreak and he brought home some food, put it in the fridge and there it was the damn cabbage!
I couldn't tell it from lettuce.
My bad. Stupid me!

Too much raw cabbage in some cases means = horrible, painful following day.

I couldn't eat, drink for a whole day. My stomach ached so bad, I almost fainted a few times. I simply couldn't move.
And that's why my weight dropped to 72,9 kg.

Yesterday I felt already better and I was able to eat, I was so hungry and thirsty!

Anyway, I kept my hunger under control and this morning my weight was 73,4 kg.
That makes more sense!

How are you guys doing?
Hope this worldwide pandemic isn't discouraging you, we'll get through it, don't worry! We just need to be patient a little longer and it will be over.
If you need me, you know where to find me! Just DM me!

Ciao!

MG

PS: the picture is from yesterday morning, my first walk after that nightmare of a day... such a relief to be back in the sun!

Dear Journal and dear Fat Secret Community,

well... this was totally unexpected.
When I first found this website yesterday I thought it suited my needs just fine and even if nobody would have noticed my entries, it would have been fun to write an online journal and keep track of my new life-style (you see, I followed your advice you guys, let's get rid of the word DIET!).

Little did I know that so many wonderful people would have stopped by to give me their encouragement and their suggestions. It was awesome. THANK YOU!

Like for real: T-H-A-N-K-Y-O-U!

Your words have been so meaningful and powerful that yesterday evening I already felt empowered to make separate dinners for me and for my husband and daughter.

Mixed salad and roasted zucchini for me, thank you very much.

And yes, you got it right. PORTIONS are also a huge problem, it's so hard to limit the amount of food on your plate.

Even if you do than you'd hear voices from your fridge after ten minutes saying:

"Hey, are you 100% sure you are full? I mean, like 1000% sure? I think there's
still some space for this little, lonely leftover... why wait until tomorrow? Eat it now, then you can clean the dish and make more space in the fridge, that's a woooonderful idea! We (voices) are just being pragmatic, this has nothing to do with food, you see, you want that dish to be clean, we know you want it"

Now that I read this... man, it's totally psycho (freaking crazy emoji right here, please)

Family/partner, yes, also big issue. But seeing that so many of you got it under control, gives me confidence.

So, my first day went by. It was easy. And I expect the following days to be easy as well. Today I woke up with 0,5 kg less, that's normal, I know, been there done that so many time :(
The REAL challenge will start in a few weeks.

As for being Diet Buddy, I've just realized that this is the US Fat Secret community.
I didn't know there was also an Italian one (I am from Venice).
So I took a look at the Italian forum posts and... I don't know.. I didn't feel the same wonderful vibes I have found here with you.
So, if you don't mind and I know my English is not perfect, but I'd like to stay here if you are ok with it :)

Back to be Diet/New-Life-Style Buddies: time zones can be a problem, like if you need an immediate support, I might be sleeping soundly and be able to write you back after 7 hours or so...

So, let me know :)

I just want to thank you all sending you a picture from here.
I took it yesterday during my walk (there is not much to do now where I work with no tourists in sight and we are not yet in complete lock down).

Ciaoooooo!

Dear Journal,

this is my first entry.
It's been years since I wake up every morning, look in the mirror and dislike what I see. And things got worse since I had my baby girl two years ago.
I realized that even if I don't think about this specifically, food and weight are a costant thought underneath all days routine.

It means that this really matters to me.
And it also means that I need to do something about it before it's too late.

Because I don't like myself, I don't put any effort in dressing me nicely, I don't do anything for my husband to like me more and at the same time, I feel I am being a bad example for my daughter.

This needs to change.

Family doesn't help much.
There is always food coming in and settling in the fridge.
Food that I don't feel like eating, that is not working with my diet, yet it's there, and I feel it's a pity that it get wasted.

"I'll finish this and THEN I'll start my diet"

"I am too tired after work to make separate dinners for me, my husband and my daughter, let's all eat the same food"

"I wish I could cook something healthy but HE wouldn't like it, that's for sure, why making two separate dinners, let's make what he likes".

I know these are all excuses.
There's no reason to avoid following my goals.
And yeah, maybe family would tease me up for the first week, but then they'll understand, won't they?

This Covid situation isn't helping at all.

I know I am not alone in this. That there are many others out there fighting my same food addiction.
Because, in the end, it is an addiction.

I hope writing this journal will help me being more considerate and determined.

MG

PS: I hope somebody is going to read my post and become my Diet Buddy :)
