Hello all. It’s Just past midnight on Sunday night/Monday morning. In the last few days I have been eating like a condemned man. Like a guy awaiting execution I have indulged in some of my favourite things. A big bag of crisps and hummus. A pizza. Curly fries. Cheese. Pastries. A take-away curry. I would have done more but work commitments have stopped me from going out, and seriously overeating always causes me to fall asleep, so the last few day’s of consumption have been purely casual.
I have experienced a strange change in my mental state. Once I decided to actually do this, I suddenly started seeing myself differently. Looking at myself in the mirror I suddenly began to see how badly I had let myself go in the last few months. It’s amazing how your mind can block things out, even when looking straight at them in a mirror, but all of a sudden I began to see things as they really are. Of course, this has caused me some mental discomfort. I suddenly don’t want anyone to see me as I am. I just want to start Lighter Life and get going. I just can’t help but think forward two weeks. If I manage to stick to the programme that should be the point I start noticing some subtle changes. As it happens I have a big social engagement around then, so it will also be a good test to see if anyone else notices.
My first session is on Tuesday evening. I will be calling the doctor first thing tomorrow to try and get an appointment for my basic health check. That is the only obstacle in the way at the moment. Fingers crossed I can get that sorted in time and I can get this thing moving. Between now and then I’ll be eating a reduced calorie diet to wean myself off real food (especially carbs) and prepare my body for Lighter Life’s very low calorie count.
