Carmel8sons's Journal, 18 September 2008

Im in Shock, Well I went out and got weighed, and nearly feel off the scales in shock. When I weighed myself on 24 August I was 230 lb, and when I joined fatsecrets last week, I added on another 6 lb, I had not been able to go out and weigh myself, I was so shocked and mad at myself when I saw what I had gained in such a short time and as you would have seen in my journal I’ve really cut back, so that meant I was even heavier. Its years since I’ve been this weight.
I was so shocked I made my pal go with me to join the Cambridge Diet Clinic at other end of town , Carol who runs it is great, as I got outside the door, I remembered a new Group starting up on fatsecrets, 550 calories. (not sure of the name I haven’t gone on site yet, typing this in my own journal on the computer, so I can keep reading it, then Im going to copy it on to my fatsecrets journal. Im hoping to go away on 2nd Oct so defeating the purpose if I start it now but will think about it if I can’t get used to the stricter diet, I have used Lipotrim few yrs ago, and I was brilliant on it, full energy and was really well on it. The doctors were amazed at me. Stayed on it for 8 weeks and sorry I came off it but it was so expensive. I had a food test done by the Doc a few years ago, I come out in terrible rashes if nervous ( if you saw the rash I came out in when I saw the weight) or exercising, ( Im on 180mg Telfast antihistamine a day) it came back that I was allergic to nearly all foods, like everyone is really, and whilst I was on meal replacement meals it rarely happened. So go figure????
Well everyone from this Thursday and every Thursday I’ll be weighing myself and posting my proof in my journal. It’s the only way Im going to encourage and, yes, SHAME myself into losing weight.

Well here goes, read it and weep like I nearly did

Yes, shocking isn’t it, I need to lose a whole person if I go by this, I am aiming for 12 stone 9lb, I would be very happy with that, I’ve been 11 stone 4 lb before and I looked sick. Which means Im 242 lb now, and have 65 lb to lose? Do you know writing it down, the 65 lb does not seem so unachievable? Im telling you all since joining fatsecrets and having you all out there, my invisible but very much in my thoughts Angels Im after getting calmer,

(think I aged 10 yrs trying to scan the weight Receipt, had to type it all out instead, slimmed my fingers anyway)
