Day 16 - and cheated a tiny bit
Published by Diet Trials January 25th, 2006 in Losing weight, Week 3I just couldn’t help myself.. I had a little voice in my head telling me to do it…
I simply got up this morning, my wife was already dressed, so I commented to her if her clothes felt any looser on her. To be honest she is thin anyway, but reckons that she needs to lose just half a stone to lose that bit of weight that she isn’t happy with. Plus I suppose that if you only normally weigh 8 and a half stone, an extra half a stone is similar to me putting on another stone. Anyway her clothes did feel more comfortable on her. She then asked if my clothes felt any better on me… but for some reason I have decided that I am just going to be a slob at work so I have only been wearing tracky bottoms and t-shirts so it’s hard to tell.
Then I get the “Well, why don’t you just weigh yourself then?” remark…. the temptation was there then. I was pretty much convinced that I wouldn’t have lost anything…but at the back of my mind I really hoped that I had lost some or else what would I do next if this diet that makes so much sense wasn’t working for me. But Paul McKenna said not to weigh yourself…hmmm I wonder why, is it because his diet doesn’t actually work and he’s just trying to get enough book sales from the SkyOne show before people realises he’s a fake?? Or was it so that you stop yourself being obsessed about every ounce and pound?
Anyway to my surprise I was down to 17 stone 9lbs, which I am very pleased with. I may only have lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks but if this is a lifestyle change that I will stick to, it will enable me to lose weight gradually and keep the weight off long term. Whenever I have been on diets before, most recently the Atkins diet, you do get fast weight loss but you know that it can’t be healthy for you and certainly isn’t maintainable without the lifestyle change as well.

Hey, well done with the 5 pounds. I think you have done really well not to weigh yourself at all for 2 weeks. Did Paul McKenna say how long it takes to lose the weight, or what is the expected weight loss each week?
Thanks Matt
Congratulations for losing weight and don’t even think negative thoughts and consider you’ve cheated.Why not be different and you decide it’s best for YOU to get weighed every 2 weeks.Also it may help to notice tiny amounts of weight loss by wearing smarter gear and not slobbing around—may even help self esteem!!!!!
Good for you losing 5 pounds in 2 weeks—if you keep this up and they do say on any diet the average is 2 pounds a week—in under 6 months time you will have shed the three and half stone you desire to lose.Think about the new tall,handsome and slim you on that planned family holiday in the sun liking yourself and knowing you look good!!!
I lost that same amount over 5 years ago but even on the Aitkins it took 6 months.I really hated myself and the final crunch came when I was on holiday lying on a sunbed next to my daughter who was like a ’stick-insect’ and I saw myself as a beached whale!!!
