Monday Week 16

Starting today the sixteenth week of abstinence, no food has passed my mouth for the last 15 weeks except my daily packet powder meals and a "Cambridge bar". However it has been sooo worth it, I feel on top of the world. I have drunk 10 pints (about 5 litres) of water today and had all my meals so that's it just a fizzy water between now and bed!

Over the weekend I sorted out a load of my too big clothes, which now far out way the number I have left to shrink into. I have put more bin bags full of oversize clothing into the loft. I have said before I cannot bear to throw them out, they were too expensive!! I do not have any intention of needing them again though!
When sorting the clothes I put on one of my suits that I was wearing last at Christmas just before commencing my diet. Well if you could have seen it!! in true diet style tradition I was able to stand with both my legs in one of the trouser legs. It was ginormous, It shocked me just how big it was and to think I was only wearing it early January this year! I refrained from taking any photos of me in the big suit, I will save that occasion until the end of my journey. I have kept the suit in my wardrobe as a reminder, all other big clothes have now gone out of sight!
My wife also has a similar problem, she has an interview on Friday and is half way between sizes at the moment, too tight or looking like a tent!! (Its just an excuse to go and buy a different outfit I think!)
I am now starting to get comments of disbelief at the amount I still wish to lose (6 stone) "don't go too thin" "you don't need to lose that much" " you are fine now" I just chuckle when people say it, If they saw my belly they would not be saying it!! Roll on the next few months and to a slimmer me at the end of summer!
