have been using supplements for vitamins and once i have lost this first few initial stones then i will replace one soup/shake a day with a meal. e'g this weekend we were away and so on the night time i had a salad with chicken and a couple of new potatoes (as opposed to my usual large helping).
I actually don't feel hungry at all as the water stops hunger pangs. its difficult to describe, how much better i feel this week as opposed to last week. i had every flavour of shake and soup and tried most of the recipes, but couldn't keep it down so to not be sick this week and to not feel hungry either feels like heaven!
i suppose the final breaking point for the LL diet was the cost, i simply cannot afford it. plus the counsellor didn't instill confidence in me. but the main reason was cost, if i could have afforded it i probably would have carried on, even though it made me sick. being sick is something that i can handle, in my teens i spent a few years making myself throw up after meals and ended up in hospital, so this was probably a concern for the gp too. i do find it funny now though to find that i am now at completley the opposite end of the scale weight wise!
the first week of any diet is a miserable experience in my opinion, so hope it all works out well for you. have my gym induction tomorrow evening so wish me luck with that! (having to let yet another person know my weight!)
