I'm feeling quite optimistic as I know I have stuck to the plan 100%, but a little bit sceptical considering I feel like I've eaten 'worse' than I normally do. But, I've done it literally by the book so don't see why it shouldn't have worked.
The thing that does play on my mind is my lack of gallbladder which was removed a few years ago. I've struggled with losing weight on other diets and had been told that the problem with slow or no weight loss could be related to my lack of gallbladder or possibly the side effects of the medication I am on long term (for associated gerd/reflux problems)
Gallbladders are funny old things. At the time, I was in lots of pain, and I mean LOTS of pain when my gallbladder became infected. People say that the pain associated with gallbladder problems can be worse than childbirth (and I don't fancy going through that either!) 9 times out of 10 the doctors are quite happy to solve the problem and stop the pain by whipping the thing out and sending you on your merry way. Ever since mine was taken out I've suffered with other ailments and problems and really wish I would have thought about the implications of cholecystectomy before undergoing surgery. But, when you are dosed up to your eyeballs on morphine and feel like you are dying you are likely to sign anything to make yourself feel a bit more human again.
Anyway, I digress. Admittedly I'm probably looking for reasons for me not to lose weight this week before I've even stepped on the scales and usually I blame the old gallbladder for that (as most of my weight has gone on since then) but who I am to say? It could just be the fact that I need to stick with something that works for me for long enough to get to my goal weight.
So, I'm actually quite excited to get there tonight and find out what this week has brought. Fingers crossed that I'm on my way to wearing that bikini again one day
