So - check it.
I warn you people, I've been drinking. Take nothing and everything of what I say totally seriously.
I'm considering going vegan for 4-8 weeks for weight loss.
Any of you had ANY experience with this?
When it comes right down to it, I'm desperate to get my chub off. I'll do anything. *sigh*
vegan? VEGAN??? Noooooo! You will be bored witless. Or shitless. Though in saying that I have to admit I have never tried it, and never intend to.
ReplyDeleteOk, I do not find you pathetic, just in a pinch. I would advise against it as you will find that you are insatiably hungry all day long. Try cutting back, especially on the alcohol (I know that it is a calorie sink from experience). Try to set up a time-out system for yourself to allow you to make concerted decisions about what you are going to eat and when. I am now trying to asking myself the question of "How bad do you want it?" before doing, or not doing what would be best for me. IT for me is getting in shape and losing weight. I used that question on a co-worker of mine who is trying to lose ~80lbs just about an hour ago when she was about to eat a huge cookie. It worked and she threw it away. I didn't tell her what to do, I just asked the question and she made the decision herself. It seemed cathartic for her (there were tears) and it was a great learning experience for me as well. Honestly, had come by my office before she ate it because she didn't really want it more than she wanted to get healthy. I am now enlisting as many people around me as I can to ask me that same question before I eat or drink anything. Perhaps you have someone you can get to ask you the question (in a non-threatening manner) as well?
ReplyDeleteI understand the time crunch with travel approaching, I am in the same boat. Just don't go that path, it will be an excursion that you will just have to make up for in the long run.
Seriously, I don't think you're pathetic, I think you're desperate. I can empathise. Also srsly, don't go vegan. TPSW is right, you'll be ravenous all day. I really do hope something works and you get some weight off!
ReplyDeleteTPSW, I am trying the "how bad do I want IT" question too, especially when I'm eying the wine bottle (which has been often of late.)
