Weigh and Measure

After one week of pre-op diet, I weighed in this morning at 88.5 kg (195.1 lb) which is a loss of 2.1 kg (4.6lb). I'll take it! I'm under no illusions however, I know that the beginning of any VLCD is mainly fluid, but I'm still happy to see the number on the scale heading in the right direction.

I finally did my measurements last night. I have a file on my computer that I have used before to record my measurements and when I opened it, I realised I haven't written any down since 2007! Can we say denial? I have been up and down at least twice since then! It also coincides with the time I met my husband. Hmmmm. That could be a clue right there. I must get some photographic evidence too, for a before/during/goal comparison way down the track. We don't have a full length mirror, so I will ask the hubs to take a pic or two for me.

So I recovered fairly well from my hormonally induced meltdown on Thursday. It really was unfortunate timing for TOM to occur when I had a crappy day at work too, but I survived without any major eating incidents, which in itself is a minor miracle. I'm pleased overall with my 2.1kg loss, and I hope it will continue this week when I am trying to be much better at the eating plan. 3 weeks and one day to go until surgery, and I want to make them all count!

A big howdy and hello to my new followers! Hi! Thanks for dropping by!
