Hi All,
I restarted 4 days ago and the above is my mantra that stops me whenever I start to think I'd like to eat something that'll blow my diet. So far so good.
I'm not entirely sure what I weigh currently only that I'm heavier than I've ever been and desperate to get rid of it. The bathroom scales seem to have quietly died whilst I was off eating my way to oblivion. New ones arriving today hopefully.
So fo now I'm doing a mixture of the Cambridge Diet with veggies, fruit and protein added in when I feel I'm struggling. My hope is that doing it this way will give me the quick results I need, I go off track if things don't happen fast, whilst also meaning that when I'm ready to transition back to not having meal replacement shakes etc, I'll be able to do that without a nasty weight gain.
This group was my absolute favourite in the community on MFP so I hope some of you guys are still around even though I've proved myself a faithless diet companion.
I'm 42 now and finally come to realise I'm wasting those years of my life where I could actually do the things I enjoy, like riding our horses, ice skating, walking the dogs and so on. I don't want to leave it so late that I can never do those things again.
Here's to day 4 being the last day I'll ever be this fat. ❤

I'm going to look like I'm talking to myself but anyway, here goes...
Today is still the last day I'll be this fat. Its working. There's a part of me that's still nervous every morning when I step on the scales even though in my head I know the science is right and I'm working to a huge deficit according to my fitbit. But of course weight loss doesn't always follow the science. Sometimes it adds 'water weight' just to mix it up. I've had one day like that. First weigh in read a half pound increase so I did it again and it went up 0.1 of a pound. And you guessed it, I did it twice more with the same result. So my half pound increase became almost a whole pound. Lesson learned, accept the first weight Aria gives me, it's an unkind mistress!
Onwards and downwards. I hope all our readers are doing well.1
