It's been nearly a week since I've been on my diet, and though progress is slow, it's there!
I won't post up pictures because God knows how self-conscious I am, but I have the tiniest thigh gap that was never there before, my waist is a bit slimmer and my stomach... well hardly anything but that's because I haven't been working my abs so much as my legs and arms.
I have three days left of the protein diet before I start a week of healthy eating. This past week has been really challenging and I admit I did give in to a couple of foods that weren't allowed, but I made sure to work those calories off. I've been averaging looking 500 calories a day which is not enough for me because I eat 700 calories. I want to work out more but I haven't properly exercised in over 2 years- so what does that say? Haha.
Hopefully I'll get on a scale today, and if not, then Tuesday. If I haven't lost anything... I'm going to scream and starve to be honest.
I'm losing weight but not fast enough, and it frustrates me that I feel fat.
Another thing I've been struggling with is faith. No-one believes I can do it. My younger sister, my family, probably some of my friends. It hurts me because if no-one believes me, can I believe myself? Can I continue to push myself if I am the only one pushing myself? I know that it's all in me, but honestly, I don't feel like I could do this without the help of other people, even if it's just encouragement. I'm independent, but not enough when it comes to something like this.
