I survived day 1 by the skin of my teeth.
I caught myself trying to justifying to my husband why I couldn't do it and why we should do something else together, but then I realised this is the same pattern I always get into and the pattern I need to break. I didn't give up partly because I really do want to do this but mostly because there was nothing I could eat that wouldn't cause side affects from the Orlistat I started taking today. For anyone who doesn't know Orlistat is a weight loss drug which inhibits the bodys ability to absorb fat, it has some rather nasty (and messy) side affects if you eat too much fat whilst taking them. I decided to take it as a deterrent for cheating without thinking and it obviously works buuuuuuut what I didn't realise until I'd taken 4 of my 6 daily pills that my shakes have too much fat in. Other than a few stomach cramps I haven't had any of the dreaded side affects (touch wood). I don't want to stop taking them as they may just keep me on track but I don't want the side affects so I might try taking 1 pill instead of 2 and see how that goes.
After a few recommendations and a lot of very good reviews I downloaded a new book
I've not read very much of it yet but so far I have found a lot that related to me and my history of dieting so I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
