kicking it - Day 5

Im committed to doing this for the next 4 weeks to see if there is any weight loss benefits, and if not I will reintroduced good sugars back into my diet. If there is a difference in my weight loss, I will keep it up until I reach the 10 kgs mark that I need to lose and then reintroduce good sugars back in.

Weighed myself this morning - ive lost 500 grams in 5 days. Not so sure if thats a good thing or not yet. It seems pretty consistent with my weight loss over the past couple of weeks. Ill weigh myself again on Monday (that will be one week in) and see how we go.

Got offered some watermelon this morning and said no and the person replied"its only a little piece - go on, have it" to my "no - thanks anyway" went again "there is only a couple of pieces left - just have it" to my "Thanks, but Ill pass".

Got me thinking about how often in life people push us to do something that we dont want to do and end up doing it even though its not what we want. If I dont want to have cake - I should be able to say no with no strings attached to that no. If I dont want any watermelon - same thing!

This person doesnt know me and what I am going through - and thats fine. But maybe just saying "okay" instead of pushing someone to do what they dont want to do would be better. It makes it hard to be strong when being pushed!

Too true (like the blog Lisa). I am over feeling like I should eat cake just to be polite! . . .meanwhile by being polite I get love handles!
