So I'll start from the beginning:
Here are the facts after 221 days:
Februray 18 - 194.8
September 23 - 151.6
Total pounds lost in 221 days: 43.2 pounds. (19.500 kilos)
I haven't been writing because I haven´t been following the regime on a 100%. Still I am on Cetosis, and have never broke it since last time I was made to by the Dr.
However I have been "bingeing" on meat or so I think. I am trying to make the products last because honestly, my pocket is empty right now.
It was supposed to be a 4 month treatment, and now I've been doing it for 7 months, so I ate meat instead of the products and maybe ONE maltshake just to avoid the sweets cravings.
It is obvious my dysmorphia has been taking a toll on me. I began to look at my body again as fat as I was before and although I am not, the mirror reflects an obese flaccid body. I even see my face with chubby cheeks and a second chin.
I am 20 pounds away from my goal. And they have been the hardest to loose.
Today I will start on phase 1 with 5 envelopes instead of 6. I will eat lots of veggies and AND AAAAANNND I will do some kind of exercise Even if it means walking for 30 minutes. I will give this treatment 2 months more and that would be it.
Today I stepped up on the scale (I'm not kidding) 8 times. I saw my weight and I could not believe I am still the same weight I was for the last three months. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy, It's just I thought I had gained 4 or 6 pounds back, but no.
So I am starting all over again, with more energy, with feeling, with a decision of ending this ASAP.
I am glad my sugar levels are down and the endocrynologyst (who did not recognized me when I went into his office last week) told me to stop using VICTOZA (victozavixen.blogspot.mx) which is an injected substance to control glucose and weight.
I am happy to stop using it -for it's a USD $200 a month medication- however, I am scared because this medicine also helped to control my weight.
Changes have been happening on the last seven months. All for good. This diet has changed my life, so I just can't wait to end this treatment so I can go on with my normal, happy, succesful life.
Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed your break, I'm planning one myself in December ;) and am looking forward to pizzaaaaaaaaaa - I'm getting excited now.
ReplyDeleteI've just, literally just, started my own blog that I'm planning to fill with PKal friendly recipes and was wondering if I could post your website? It was really helpful, especially when I first started and was a little confused, so I'd like more people to have the opportunity to see it. Only if you say it's ok though.
Dearest Ellie!!! I'm back again!! LOL. OF COURSE you can post this website. It's for everybody.
DeleteWatch out for the pizza. Last month I ate 10 RECTANGULAR HUGE pizzas all by myself.... Out of control.
How many pounds have you lost? HUGS GIRLIE!
Hey, I'm very glad you started again, and well done for going back on it and loosing so much so quickly. I've lost 91 pounds to date and feel incredible.
ReplyDeleteNo worries about the pizza :) I've taken several breaks from this diet and it seems that if I pig on the first day and then go to a healthy diet (one that includes fruit and small amounts of carbs like a piece of toast for breakfast) then whilst I might gain 4-5 pounds in the first week that's where it will start to balance out as my body gets used to the changes. As opposed to the one time I lost weight after going off this diet and my body reacted ... badly. I put on almost 10 pounds in a week that time before my body settled.
OMG! Ellie!! 91 pounds! that is AMAZING!! I am SO proud of you. It's Now May and I'm back... how are you doing now?
DeleteHugs sweetie! Thanks for sharing! :)
