Introduction and Day 1

About me...

Hey you gorgeous beauties! This is me. Diana Robinson, 48 years old, living in Manchester, suffering from hypothyroidism, tired, fat and depressed... But now its time to change. I watched a TV program last week, about VLCDs, which prompted me to open up my dreaded cupboard, which contained a carrier bag full of meal replacement shakes. As I brushed off the cobwebs, I remembered how hard this journey is going to be. So I thought, with the help of my daughter, I would jot down a few of my feelings each evening as I delve further into the depths of starvation. ONLY JOKING! I'm gonna let you guys into my inner most thoughts as the days go on. I say days because weeks seem to long to even think about at the moment! :) 

Day 1- Monday 18th June 2018

This is 10 days after my daughters wedding and seeing myself looking like the fookin' cake in pictures, I had gotten myself very upset and realised it was time to change. I have a great relationship with food. I love it and it loves me ;) but I know we need to part ways for a while. (It's not food... its me ;).)

The first shake I had was Irish cream. I held the shake off until around 11:30am until i couldn't stand it anymore and hoped the luck of the Irish was on my side. 

12pm I was already on the exante facebook page looking for inspiration. God help me. This is only half an hour.

At 3pm I had a strawberry shake which strangely enough tasted a lot like the first! I think my stomach is elated at the thought of more liquid. Unfortunately, my brain isn't. Already drank 4 glasses of water and probably lost 7lbs running to the loo for my noumerous wee's. 

At 7pm I cracked open a goddamn chocolate shake to drink whilst watching England play in the world cup. Bare in mind, this was after an hour and a half of watching and torturing myself with 'Come dine with me', shouting at the TV when they're complaining about dry beef (when I could've swallowed the whole cow). I celebrated Englands win with a nice glass of water, a ten minute shower whilst I lied to my stomach that i wasn't starving. I get in bed and the sound of my rumbling stomach lulled me to sleep.

Overall feeling of today: Hungry, still laughing and can't believe I don't have a six pack yet.

Catch you all tomorrow!
