Day 4
Yesterday was a bit of a rollercoaster / busy day for me so I ended up forgetting to write in here. I had an appointment with Inclusion to start my CBT which is awesome, but I felt really anxious and stressed out when I left. I've been diagnosed with 3 different obsessive compulsive disorders, and anxiety, so after my appointment I felt a bit stressy (which to be fair I expected anyway).
My CBT Therapist wanted me to buy a notebook and write down my triggers for my OCDs and anxiety when I notice they are happening. So I popped into Morrisons to buy a notebook. I'm definitely an emotional eater so the urge to buy some chocolate to make myself feel better was hitting me hard. However... I bought a Diet Coke instead! I was so so so proud of myself!
So far, my diet plan is going really well and I've had zero slip ups. I know it's only the beginning, but I feel really positive, and if I can keep this up for at least 3 weeks, it should just become habit. Every day I feel like it's getting easier and easier and the motivation is coming at me in leaps and bounds.
The real trick will be trying to stick to my diet plan on Sunday. I'm going to Comicon with my boyfriend and a couple of his friends, and I have no idea what I'm going to eat whilst I'm there. I'm sure there will be somewhere in the ExCel that does healthy food - I've been there a couple of times and I'm sure there's a Subway where I could just get a salad. As long as I can get something that I can track and fit into my macros, I'm not that fussed. I'll take some carrot and celery sticks with me as a snack anyway, just in case I do get a bit hungry.
I had a cheeky weigh in this morning and so far I've lost 3lbs in 3 days (since I came off Slimfast and started doing the healthy eating meal plan and exercising). I know some of this loss may also be water weight, but to be fair, as long as it's coming off and the number on the scale is going down... I'm happy! I'm going to try not to weigh myself until next Friday now - but to be honest if I'm feeling a bit crappy and need some motivation one morning, I might just weigh myself. Whatever the result, up or down, I think it will push me to keep going and 'try harder' if I need to.
All in all, so far so good! The weight is coming off, I definitely feel healthier and a lot happier! My sleep has also improved since I've been working out in the morning, and it is getting easier and easier to wake up early to go to the gym. Give it another couple of weeks and I think the routine will truly be in place. Happy days!
I highly doubt I'll post over the weekend, so for now, I'll say see you Monday!
