Week Three... DONE

Hello to any lovely person that is reading this! I realise I haven't written anything since day one and two but to be perfectly honest I haven't had the energy or brain power to write anything. I have to say it's not been a breeze but as I'm curretly writing this I'm feeling good.

I've just come back from a really posistive group meeting, I've lost 3lbs this week, which isn't the biggest weight lost but I know where I went wrong. I haven't been drinking enough water for my body to help flush out and burn my fat. Needless to say I have a glass of water next to me as I'm typing! I also got measured tonight. I have lost 2.5 inches off my boobs (lets hope it's back fat rather than actual boob!), 3.5 off my waist, and 5.5 inches off my belly!!! I am very pleased with that belly measurement!!

The tough bits

My first weigh in (where I lost 12.5 pounds) was followed by a awful meeting. I had found the week challenging but had distanced myself from any talk of food. The group then spent most of the session speaking about particular foods. I felt betrayed that my one safe place had almost turned on me and spat me out! I got in my car and cried, very loudly, all the way home, and then a bit more! As it was a stand in counsellor I didn't want to speak to her about it and have waited until today when my normal counsellor was back. I have discussed it and moved on.

The tiredness has been quite extreme for me. I have never been partuclary overflowing with energy, mostly because of my weight and being a generally lazy person (I admit it!). Most days it would get to 6pm and it would be a struggle to lift a glass or get myself ready for bed. My counsellor has told me tonight to listen to my body, if I'm tired go to bed and sleep. Funnily enough tonight I am wide awake, so maybe my i've turned a corner. Lots of others (with less to lose) have gained energy already.

Lighterlife warns that a reaction to it may be, some hair loss, luckily I haven't had this. However I have developed a strange area of hair on the top of my head which constantly feels like it has hairspray in it! It doesn't change when I wash it, if I condition or if I don't. But really my body is feeling pretty strange and has a lot going on so I shall excuse it for now!

Weight loss
Week One : 12.5 pounds
Week Two: 7.7 pounds
Week Three: 3 pounds

Aim for next week is 4 1/2 pounds. I'll have a glass of water please!!
