I've written this blog to help me on my weight loss. I hope it may hope others too who are considering following a VLCD. These are my own personal views and thoughts, I have no assocation with the plans I choose to follow other than buying their products for my own personal use!

Hello my friends, it's been a while...

Since my last blog post, and since I started this journey too.  I'm on day 160 or so today since the start, but I have to say that I've not been doing a vlcd for 160 days.  In the main I have but there have been times when, well you know.  It's a long complicated journey to reach my destination, and whilst I'm fairly sure of the right direction, I don't have a sat nav and occasionally I take the wrong turning.  But it's all progress towards to the end point that I will reach.

To say this is life changing is an understatement.  My life has changed completely and I hope it will change some more sometime soon.  I hope I can have the opportunity to share the learnings of my journey with many others, something I'm working hard to reach.  However, I need to refocus once again and now look at my life goals rather than my weight loss goals.  I've toyed a little in the last couple of weeks with low carb food.  Some of it I like, some of it I don't, but all of it doesn't like me!  Awful stomach pains and cramps, so it's not the way forward for me, experiment done!

I'm at a point where I'm looking at daily achievement goals, I need to break it down and get through each day.  I need the headspace to work through other areas so can't focus on longer than a day at a time at the moment.  I have some brave decisions to make!

Oh heck, that's all a bit downbeat, and I've not been here for so long either.  I think I'm actually quite happy, but I'm a bit scared about tomorrow and making the right choices for then (metaphorically speaking, I'm not talking about Wednesday!).  I'm very clear on what I want to do, but I'm not clear on whether its the right decision for me.  Maybe none of us are able to have that privilege and I should just go ahead and give it a go - what's the worst that can happen?
