So, I've completed seven full days of Atkins. And it wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be, it also hasn't been as life changing as I thought it would be.. Apart from an initial boost in energy and slight mood improvements I've noticed, I feel exactly.. well, the same. Just a more full version of me with no appetite.
Looking down at my belly and thighs right now as I lay in bed, I'm unhopeful. I hate to say it, but I just don't look any thinner. I thought I did yesterday but I don't feel it now :( Maybe i'm just trying so hard not to get my hopes up that I'm pulling myself down.
Put it this way - if the scales say 11.1 tomorrow - I'll scream for joy. 3 pounds in 1 week - that would be my ultimate. In my head though, I imagine the reality will be that it'll say 11.4, 11.3 or worse, 11.5 meaning I've gained weight. If I've gained weight, I've honestly no idea how and need to seriously re-evaluate how I've been doing this diet as I've been following it down to a T or come off it completely.
I don't want to come off this diet though, having been on it, I can honestly say I can't look at carbs in the same way again. Also, I've bought so much food i'd like to percivere.. I just don't understand if I've not lost much weight tomorrow, how I will lose much weight in the future? A pound a week could be achieved by doing slimming world.. And I'd still get a bit of chocolate!
Ok so today's menu included 3 eggs in the morning, bit of bacon and cream cheese. Which has left me feeling very sick all day (Think it's had a lot to do with the 4 hours sleep I had last night!!) I then made myself eat lunch at 1PM because I just wouldn't have eaten otherwise - Still feeling sick and lack of appetite. I had tuna mayonaise, a chunk of cream cheese, some lettuice, cucumber and a bit of yellow pepper. I then had dinner at 9PM (Waiting for my asda delivery until that time!) And I finally found low carb sausages.. They are ladies and gentlemen... Asda's Extra Special 80% Pork & Leek Sausages. Scrummyyyyy and they had about 5 carbs in 6 sausages which I don't think anyone could complain with!! I had these with 4 eggs fried. I snacked on a couple of babybel whilst eating and this has been my eating plan all day.
Well, I'm officially knackered and nervous. Never been this nervous in my whole life about a weigh in. Sooo sooo nervous.. So I wish the ketosis fairies do their work in my sleep, I feel so full and bloated at the moment, I just cannot see how I will have lost weight. FINGERS CROSSED FOR ME IF ANYONE IS READING THIS!!
Will most likely post in the morning with a verdict. Night all x
Date/Time: Friday 11th June - 00:30

Side Effects: Felt sick afte breakfast which lingered all day, not sure if this is down to Atkins or lack of sleep. Very low appetite.
