I need al the encouragement I can get....

I had a week moment two days ago......couple crackers with delicious Dutch cheese (nothing is better), a little chocolate and o-my-god even a small icecream....damn.

I was mad at myself after it....still I still lost 200 grams that day....

However, I made a great revenge on myself yesterday and was 100% strict to the diet again and was greatly rewarded with it by the scale....

Today we have a match with the drumband and afterwards we always eat Chinese at our club so that will be my weekend meal this week...going to love it but will keep it to small portions.

My lunch today.

THIS >>>>>>



IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK  LIKE THIS >>>>>>



Seek and find the differences:



 

I hate those marketing guys whose life fullfilling job is to mislead consumers.   Nevertheless I did eat it. I was hungry. It gave me something to chew on. It looks and tastes like wallpaper glue. Never again.


And I just filed a complaint.

I cannot resist to respond like this ...

it looks like the leftovers in the morning after a sh#tload of beer to me... 

[Superully]

man, you really need encouragment for that !

[level42]

Yup I too bought one package of that stuff. I mean all the other stuff is really reasonable in taste. But this.....well I did "prepare" Erik for it....

He's right. This stuff is absolutely awefull. When I was preparing it it reminded me of preparing some cement for a wall.
Little did I know that it would taste exactly like cement for a wall !

YUUUGGGHHH !

Erik, put my name under that complaint too !

When I have to eat something I don't like (which is usually 'clean' food like salad or tomatoes...), I use to think about this sequence in the Matrix movie, see right here : http://io9.com/389720/the-tastiest-food-moments-in-science-fiction

...A juicy virtual steak... it's crazy (and so true) the impact of the food on us

Two weeks have gone by since I started with the diet and I now already lost 7 kgs.  

Best thing is that I don't feel that hungry anymore. but I do miss a hot meal, I've only lived on shakes and instant puddings the last 14 days (OK, last Sunday I had a weak moment and I ate a small piece of grilled salmon. It was delicious).

But the weight loss gives me courage for the next week.

Heyhey, nice meeting you and Ms.Ckong again yesterday ! Great that you came over to look at our marching band

We did pretty well despite that we all were not 100% satisfied about how we performed, good points though: 93.xx (I can't remember what was behind the .) That is actually a very high score for an official contest. However, there were 2 bands with even higher points so some mixed feelings....anyway, the mission is succeeded with this score we should qualify again for the Dutch national championships next year in Barneveld.

Anyway, the 7 kgs really showed ! Congrats and I'm glad the hungry feeling went away as I mentioned.

Had a nice Chinese meal again yesterday and even so, I'm now almost at -16 Kg !!! Woohoo !

[Superully]

congrats to both of our dutch "diatarians" - i'm sure you'll both succeed in the end!

[DarthNuno]

Congratulation guys. Hope to see you soon on Road Trip pictures (and trying to skip the 'Burger King' stage on the road) 

 

[level42]

Thanks guys. Not many more roadtrips (unless picking up the monitors) I guess. I keep the collection like it is now and first get them all restored !

3 weeks have gone by now and I lost 9 kgs!!!!   I never expected this result which I owe to this special shake diet. Yesterday evening I rewarded myself with a nice dinner at a restaurant, together with my wife of course and a guy whose brother is the famous Dutch soccer player Johnny Rep. I ate only meat and vegetables though, I had the will-power to stay off from the french fries.  

Today starts week 4 and again I will only 'eat' shakes this week.

[level42]

Congrats Erik !

I had a rather bad week....I think I'm already happy if I stayed the same weight. It's getting harder and harder....

Next week will be my revenge week though !

All in all I'm still at -17 Kg right now

[ckong]

..  All in all I'm still at -17 Kg right now

Which is a great achievement. 

I'm sure that you will recover coming week and come back very strong. GO FOR IT!! 

You may find it silly, but I weigh myself every two days and I input the data in Excel. I made a line graph with two lines, a red one which shows the weight at the end goal and a blue one which shows my actual weight. It is very motivating for me to see that the blue line is only decreasing and that the vertical space between the two lines is getting smaller and smaller.



Haha, doing a diet is almost scientific.
