Day 27 - Meeting with CDC

I wasn't hungry again today, getting through my sachets did feel like a bit of a chore but I managed 1 at around mid morning and another early afternoon, saving the last one until after my CDC had been to see me so I could try out the Mix-a-mousse and I'm so glad I did! I had a cappuccino shake mix-a-mousse, although it was more a blancmange type texture rather than mousse (I may need more practice making them) it was really nice and a welcome change.

Apart from the new-found joys of mousse, the meeting with my CDC went very well. Here are my stats for this session:

• Weight: 17st 8lb
  
• BMI: 39.5

This means I've lost almost a whole stone in 4 weeks and my BMI is below 40, I'm so pleased! CDC told me that I've done really well, especially for someone who isn't even on SS yet which pleased me even more. I also told him I wasn't hungry any more and what an utter relief that was to me after the tricky times I've had over the last couple of weeks. He confirmed to me that it means I'm in ketosis which I did know really but it's great to hear from someone who knows.

As I'm doing pretty well so far on 810kcals, I've decided to go down to Sole Source Plus for a week, which is very similar to what I'm having now but with a smaller meal. Hopefully it shouldn't be to difficult for me to adjust and it might speed up my weight-loss very slightly, which would be very nice too. Then the following week, I plan to start proper Sole Source and with any luck, it won't be too traumatic as I've eased myself into it slowly. Lots of the people find themselves unable to stop picking at food when they first start SS and consequently, they stay hungrier for longer and occasionally they give up because they can't cope with the starvation any more! Seriously, I can' blame them, being that hungry feels so awful, a few days ago I could have eaten one of my cats if they had kept still long enough! I've not had a snacking problem at all even on 810kcals, so I'm really hoping that my gradual approach has helped me to avoid this. I know that if I start picking at food I shouldn't be having, I won't be able to stop myself very easily.

After CDC left, still feeling buoyed from our meeting, I did a Ketostix test and I am definitely in ketosis so I am incredibly smug now. I also measured around my waist but it hadn't changed from last meeting so I'll just ignore that for now and concentrate on...

HOORAY!! KETOSIS!!!
