I started a diet on Saturday morning and I weighed myself this morning.. I've lost 5lb. Only another 4 1/2 st to go...
Its strict no carbs, no wine, no sugar, no milk (except in tea) and I am absolutely craving pasta, bread, cakes, I'd even eat a potato right now and I don't even like them!
Is this what people who are very overweight would expect? right now I am imagining that it will take until next summer to be a happy size 12 (I'm 18 going on 20 now). This is my first diet and I'm shifting every thing... meals out when we were dating 10 years ago, sunday roasts, baby weight, many, many glasses of wine and a stone or two of comfort eating. So is 5lb good for the first week and how long does a diet take if I can stick it?
