Cabbage Soup Diet : Day One

Today wasn't so bad. I had two bowls of the soup, one peach thing and some melon and grapes.

I haven't been left hungry as I'm drinking water to fill me up and I can have as much cabbage soup as I want. It was a little tough as usually when I have soup I have a couple of bits of buttered bread along side. But not so tough as once I had finished the soup I realised I didn't need the bread anyways.

Tomorrow no fruit though. Just veggies and soup. I prefer the fruit. Will see how I do.

Not so fun things

Today I have made cabbage soup. I am going on a "cabbage soup diet" ... if you google it you will understand what I mean.

This will (for me) not be as difficult as some people find as I like the soup I have cooked up ... however, I think it will be difficult for the amounts of certain things I am allowed to eat.

To fill you in, when I was 15 or so I had "puppy fat" ... yes, I was allowed that ....
When I was 17/18 I excersised 6 days a week either with gym and/or tennis ... possibly some squash in there too, and I ate healthy. Then I went to uni. Everything always goes to pot to start off with, but it seemed to start there, and hasnt finished yet. I went from excersise 6 days a week and healthy foods to no excersise at ALL and chips and pizza and pasta etc etc ...

So ... back up to date, I am fed up of being the size I am (24/26) ... it is RIDICULOUS to me that I have not been motivated enough before this day to do something about it. I have had half assed attempts at it, but nothing that has lasted to reduce my size (I don't care about the weight as long as I EVENTUALLY get down to a size 14 or smaller).

I will blog diets and feelings to go with on here, as well as other things. But I feel that noting how my diet is going is important to me. That way either I can look back on it and realise mistakes I made or where I went well, also random people can stumble across this and get help from it.

I don't think I eat for comfort as such, but eat "good" foods (which happen to be fatty and high in calories) when I want to eat "good" food. If I feel sad or upset in any way at all, I want food that tastes nice, and I don't have the self control to eat small quantities (which would not be an issue if I did that).

So ... back to where I am now ... I am starting a cabbage soup diet and hoping to complete it successfully in 7 days as the plan goes. I may also have a totally personal blog under a different name (which I will link to in this blog, but will still make more difficult to find (ie ... no family members would find ... but people I am close to eg Rob and friends will find) in the next few days/weeks.

To start off with, I hope that people can google this and I can help them in any way with a successful diet (IF I do everything according to instructions) from a REAL person - not someone that has been paid to upload blogs or totally fake blogs ...

I, personally, will be using the cabbage soup diet ALONG with Xenical which I have been prescribed.

This should maximise my weight loss by tonnes and tonnes (maybe not but at least a stone I am hoping for since I well WELL over my "healty" weight limit ...

To sum this all up, I hope this will help people aiming to loose weight (for the time being) and eventually, when I am down to size, I can ONLY comment about and post things that are totally to do with my emotions and fun times and sad times etc ... for now .. I will blog about weight loss and other things that affect/effect me ...

Last thing ... sorry for any misspellings that may come with this blog !!!!

FIRST!!!!!!!! (epic pwnage)

Now - for my first blog - and I have nothing on my mind.

I can see myself updating weight loss (or gain), anything that frustrates me, makes me really happy, scares me even - a whole bunch of things really.

For now though, that's it !!
