Was feeling really weak so caved in and had some custard last night. Feeling a bit better today. I think I am really starving myself. I am nauseas and dizzy in the mornings and can barely stand in the kitchen. Now that the initial 2 kilograms is off I think I need to take in more calories. I am moving at the end of the month and I am going to need the energy.

steady weight
29 January 2015
When I started this drastic diet on Sunday I was 57. kilograms. This morning it took me ten minutes to weigh myself. Got three different readings so I am using the one that repeated the most which is 55.4. The laxatives I took last night have shown no sign of working although the packaging says within 10 - 12 hours and I am now at 13 hours. No cramping. Nothing. Starting to wonder how a cucumber digests itself. The ghastly withdrawal symptoms from quitting smoking are here. Sore ears, sore throat and and chess tightness. Had to use the inhaler this morning. Will wait and see if the laxatives work an recheck the weight. In the meantime, I am having my once daily treat of a cup of hot tea with milk and two sugars.

Losing 5.6 kg a Week
28 January 2015
Yeah well I suppose its my own fault that the scale went up this morning. On my very restricted diet which is made up of 3 cups of hot tea, milk and sugar, Coke Zero for the rest of the day and half an English Cucumber with a chopped Jalepeno Pepper and vinegar at night, I was bound to start craving something. May have been different if I was still smoking (on my sixth day of no smoking). I sent my houseman down to the corner store and had him buy a large packet of Salt and Vinegar Crisps of which I consumed half. This morning after my weigh in (first to the bathroom, then all pyjamas off), I telephoned the chemist and asked them to deliver a bottle of Dulcolax which is a fairly strong laxative as I realised that my bowels have not worked since the weekend - don't suppose they would on a cucumber. But we soldier on. I am going to lose these 6 kilograms even if it is at 100 grams a day. I WILL NOT buy clothes of a size larger than a 32 (don't know what that is in America). Hopefully once the weight is off, the craving for nicotine and the ritual of smoking will also be gone and then I will be able to leave the house and get some exercise - not that I am into walking or gym or anything - but just popping out to the mall, taking the dogs down to the beach, that kind of thing. Today I will not cheat. I managed three days of not smoking (after 35 years) with three packs of cigarettes in the house so half a packet of crisps should not bother me. Unfortunately I detest chewing gum - never seen the sense of it - but the taste of diet soda all day is ghastly. I know that at 1.72 metres tall, I can hardly be seen to be overweight even at my current weight but I suppose it depends on what one is used to and I am used to being thin.

Gaining 2.8 kg a Week
27 January 2015
Well it appears that the drastic diet I have put myself on is netting me a weight loss of between 300g and 200g a day. The quitting of smoking is still on track - helps not having my daughter here (she is a smoker) and the craving for nicotine is becoming less and less. Much harder to stop smoking than it is to stop eating. But then, eating is a habit - just like smoking. It certainly helps that I live alone and have decided not to venture out of the house until I have attained my goal weight ( by which time the nicotine cravings will be thing of the past). If I can give up smoking I sure as hell can drop 6 kilograms. I am 5.7" tall and 50kgs will see me very thin, but I have always been very thin and I am comfortable there. I may start adding some exercise when my lungs clear out all the rubbish that I put there for 35 years - on the plus side I am no longer sucking on the asthma pump like a lollipop.

At this point the "not smoking" is bothering more than the "not eating" but I have a backbone of granite. I will not smoke ever again and I will lose the 6kg's in less than 3 weeks. I am not a "foodie" but now that I am post menopause, I will have to watch what I eat. If only I could give up sugar in my first cup of tea in the mornings. Lord it can't be that hard. This is much easier now that my smoking daughter, who is also reed thin has left home so the fridge is not filled to brim with food and there is no smoking around me to trigger me.
Have added Jalepeno peppers into my diet (which consists of cucumber, a salt substitute, and black pepper) as I recalled somewhere in the back of my mind that they are thremogenic. Did a bit of research. Chili Pepper Can Help You Burn Fat and Lose Weight
Did you know that capsaicin is a thermogenic? Thermogenics stimulate the body's burning of fat byincrease the metabolism of the body's adipose tissue, generating heat. Good. At only 4 calories its a win and also gives some "bite" to an otherwise boring diet.
