cassie the newbie

hi. This is my 2nd day on D. I asked my gp for a script last year after piling on 4 kg on a cruise last march...then being totally lazy and self indulgent. i have never had a weight problem before but have recently gone thru menopause and i think my metabolism is shot. Also i got into the terrible habit of drinking wine with my partner every evening...and so have put on about 8kg so far. May not sound a lot but im only 160 cms and the weight is very noticable....especially around my tummy. Im determined to get back to my usual 55kgs and im so hoping the D will be the kickstart i need. So today is day 2...i weighed in yesterday morning at 63kg. Didnt sleep at all last night but strangely feel great today. Im very motivated and excited...i want to wear all the nice clothes in my wardrobe that dont fit...and i also want to look nice for my partner. I must mention that i hate exercise...so im hoping i can do this just by counting calories. Im going to Melbourne for the weekend with my partner so im quite nervous about eating out and hoping i can resist drinking too many glasses of bubbles!!...Also im very impatient...i want the weight gone yesterday. Im so happy to have found this forum and have enjoyed reading all your stories...will keep you all posted...CHEERS cassie
