It’s day 2 of my Slim Fast diet and today I’ve actually stuck to the plan and to be honest I’ve felt pretty rubbish. Here’s what I’ve eaten today :
One Vanilla flavoured Slim Fast shake made with semi skimmed milk.
One Chocolate flavoured Slim Fast diet shake
One pork chop (all fat removed), one table spoon of mash potato, gravy, broccoli and green beans
Hand full of green olives in brine, one slimmer soup (84 calories) and a packet of Slim Fast pretzels.
2 pints of water, 1 mug of green tea and 2 cups of black tea made with a nominal amount of semi skimmed milk.
So as promised today I stuck to the Slim Fast plan, I ate 3 snacks, had 2 shakes and ate a 600 calorie meal, I also drank the 2 pints of water. Although I haven’t as of yet managed to exercise, which I’m not feeling great about.
This morning when I had my Slim Fast shake for breakfast, I sat down at the dining room table whilst everyone else was tucking into Mums homemade bread and jams and I sipped away at my Vanilla flavoured shake. This immediately put me in a bad mood, I would have much rather been chewing on the warm, freshly baked bread and raspberry jam as opposed to my diet drink. Despite my miniscule breakfast I actually felt ok up until about 11am after which I started to feel hungry, I ate some olives as 1 of my snacks and got back to work.
By the time lunch arrived I was actually no more peckish than usual, I thought I would have been starving but I was ok and got stuck into my second Slim Fast shake of the day. At this point I thought the Slim Fast Diet and I were on the verge of becoming friends, but then 3pm hit. Mid-afternoon is always my downfall, whether I’m on a diet or not I always get the 3pm slump and today it hit me bad. I first started to feel the slump coming on at 14.10 and by 15.00 hrs I wanted to eat everything in the fridge and more. I managed to talk myself out of the foreseeable binge and instead restricted myself to a lovely packet of Slim Fast pretzels. Feeling slim? No. Feeling deprived? Yes. But I pulled myself together got back to work and before I knew it 5pm arrived and dinner was on the hob and in the oven!
I was exceptionally good with dinner today I would usually have heaps of mayonnaise and cheese in my mash potato but today I made my mash with Semi skimmed milk and the tiniest amount of butter you’ve ever seen – in fact I don’t even know why I bothered! But dinner was good and I’m now feeling full despite only having half of the amount I would usually have to eat…Has the Slim Fast effect taken hold already?
I’m really tempted to weigh myself tomorrow but is it too soon? Will I have lost any weight yet? I really don’t know! I was tempted to jump on the scales this morning but refrained, maybe I’ll wait until Saturday morning.
So what have I learnt on the Slim Fast diet today? Well getting through the second day was harder than the first – maybe because I actually stuck to the plan! But having eaten such a small dinner and actually feeling pretty full after it maybe, just maybe, the Slim Fast diet is beginning to work for me.
Tomorrow is day 3 of my Slim Fast diet and I can feel yet another social dieting disaster coming on already! I’m meeting my sister at the pub for lunch – this affair was arranged pre diet I’ll have you know! I’m highly doubtful Slim Fast shakes will feature on the pub menu so maybe this time I should bring my own…Or not. Why is dieting never simple?
