The 1st Result

So week 1 back at fat club and it was a success. 5lbs off......45 gazillion to go!

There is something about being on a structured plan that I like, well when I say structured it’s in the loosest sense of the term, i.e. don't eat crap, don’t drink like a fish and generally you should lose. I think as a character I'm quite into routine, I like to know what I'm doing, I like a plan, I like (horror of horrors) a list and the FC diet fits into this category perfectly. There are lists of free food, lists of things to count and I get to write a list of what I plan to cook every day. This serves 3 purposes.

1.      Keeps me on track, what day is what

2.      Makes the weekly shop easy and cheaper (no sneaking in the ‘oh a really fancy that!’ things...unless its nail varnish or a book of course)

3.      Facilitates my need for control (maybe I really should talk to someone about this!?)

I also haven’t exactly stuck to the low carb thing either, I AM A LIAR AND A CHEAT AND NO ONE SHOULD READ THIS! I keep changing my story huh BUT in ones defence I’m trying my damnedest to lose this bloody weight, it’s an ongoing battle and if I find different ways of doing each week I’ll do it. The main point is as long as I lose weight.  I have a sneaking suspicion, garnered from years of dieting that low carbing is actually better for maintaining the loss, still on FC plan low carbing is an option so we shall see....don’t say I didn’t warn you about modification of mind. WAIT...this shouldn’t not compute within my ‘I like a plan’ lifestyle but whatev’s I’m a girl and it’s my prerogative (word up Bobby Brown) to change my mind!

This week is also the first weekend of a consecutive weekend party fest until Christmas. I am determined NOT to upset next week’s loss from one night’s drinking. I will stick to gin and slim-line, space it out with water and eat properly so I don’t get the marmite toast munchies at 2am. Up early(ish) on Sunday to take Oliver for a stroll and blow the alcohol webs away.

Anyway one’s mind set is positive and I hope this is the start of the decline (in weight and not mental health of course!)

Anon for now Picklets! xx
