Phase: Cruise - PV
Weight: 68kg
Water intake: more than 2 litres (lost count again)
Waist: 77.5cm
Hips: 107.5cm
Thighs: 67cm
Notes: Not sure what's happening with my hips and thighs measurements, but I guess I'm just taking them wrong. Today I almost rebelled against the diet - I had yoghurt with oat bran, cinnamon and sweetener for breakfast and I'm frankly, quite sick of it. Eating it once a fortnight is okay, but three times a week is far more than enough. Next time, I'll sprinkle it into hot low-fat milk and make it a nestum of sorts.
On the other hand, I discovered an amazing pancake recipe! It's pretty much like my sister's muffin recipe except that I use more yoghurt and turn it into a pancake. My sister likes the oat bran muffins alot, but I kinda prefer pancakes I think. If we can get some fat free cocoa powder and use it for the muffins - then I'd be thinking something different!
Also, we're getting quicker at cooking this stuff! No need for overly complicated things. We've found that seafood in Isetan is good quality and easy to cook, so we had a good seafood and cabbage soup for dinner today. Roast chicken for dinner tomorrow. Can't wait!
Foods eaten:
1 egg omelette with cheese
yoghurt with 2tbsp oat bran, sweetener & cinnamon
cucumber sticks
cherry tomatoes
beef stir-fry with onion, broccoli & mushrooms
Seafood soup (abalone, scallops, prawns, squid, cabbage)
Sampled one oat bran pancake
Daily Instructions:
Yesterday a lapse appeared in your report. What is going on? A little step back into the past, back to where you were? No, no, no you are fine here, with us, and you are going to lose those kilos that are bothering you!
Your motivation is strong but be careful. There is nothing more vulnerable.
This diet isn't causing you any frustration. It seems as if what we are suggesting to you suits you perfectly. Let's keep going like this!
Being on a diet means accepting that you have to cut down on the pleasure you get from eating. In the head of the person on a diet, there is the torturer who decides and the victim who goes along with it. In this sort of negotiation it's always the victim who ends up getting the upper hand. The solution is to let us decide for you. It is easier to follow a decision than it is to make it.
When you started on the programme, you stood a serious chance of not being happy with yourself, with your image, with your body, with your clothes that are tight. Indeed, it's still not always easy to know exactly if this unpleasant feeling of having lessened one of our elements of beauty is so in our eyes or in the eyes of others. Certain women, more aesthetes than others, experience it as a private misfortune. "It's as if you'd thrown ink over a painting that you love living with!" one of my patients said to me one day. Others are more dependent on those around them and are forever on the look-out for the way others look at them. The two factors certainly always co-exist but they vary depending on whether the dominant characteristic in each woman's personality is aesthetic or normative. What is for sure is that putting on weight, however much the amount, is always reversible.
Don't forget you are committed to one day of protein dieting every Thursday to consolidate then stabilize the weight you've achieved. Today this may seem like a trifle to you but when you've finished, being tied down like this will seem tedious to you. Without it, all the effort you're making now will have no sense whatsoever. You will put weight back on.
