Giving up SlimFast (Like right now)
So, for the past 3 weeks I have been ingesting at least one slim fast shake per day, usually 2, and on Saturday daytime I thought right Caz! Time to stick to it rigidly, no extra “healthy” snacks for you! Bigger commitment needed! And even though i’d previously said “when this tin is empty, i’m quitting SF On Saturday: bigger commitment - Bought 2 new tins of the powder!
And then Saturday night came. My good friend Matt, who has heard me say on many occasion “i know, i must do something about my weight” (usually while eating something which is calorific!) And knowing my weekly hours of exercise as zilcharoo! Matt, being happy of my recent turn around decided to cook me a delicious meal, all made from scratch and containing not 1g of sugar! AND we had chocolate brownie for dessert! Which was both sugarless and vegan!
The meal was sooooooooo nice! Salmon and Butternut Squash Curry! It was ‘Yumsville, Arizona’, at the end of the night I thanked him with sex. JK he is gay, otherwise he would. LOL (thats my story and i’m sticking to it! It MY blog!!)
Anyway, on Sunday I carried on as normal, had my morning slim fast shake, continued... All afternoon sugar was just on my mind, and then I was browsing the internet and looking at “full body workouts”, and became more focused on using your workout time more effectively in order to burn fat! Which is my primary need! (OK after stopping smoking, but this is about my fatness right now!) So I was watching this presentation by a guy called Shin Ohtake (me right now) he’s got a workout program called ‘Max Workouts’ (full body functional exercises)
In Shin’s presentation he mentioned how sickened he is about big companies who shamelessly invent diet products that don’t work but to just make money... Which I kinda already knew, and in SlimFast’s defence, I was at a total loss 3 weeks ago, and I did meal replacements just because I had no desire to make anything or think of anything, so I put my diet in SF’s hands, and at least here I am, in my fourth week AND STILL GIVING A SHIT *fireworks* So ‘SF’ served it’s purpose.
So yesterday, my afternoon shake was harder to swallow, especially since, for the first time in over 3 weeks, I actually checked the sugar content. 30g!! Per serving!! WTF! I know ‘Slim Fast’ has all those vitamins in it but, so does a bloody MULTI-VIT capsule and i’m pretty sure they have no calories or sugar in them!? And Matt’s words ran through my mind that that moment “you don’t actually need sugar, at all!” I forced it down!
Fast forward to this morning, I came down to make my shake, and no hassle, no drama, I simply couldn’t bring myself to make a shake. Like while I was sleeping the decision was made for me, and I was being told after the fact.
Is this what they call listening to your body? Well I have...So, I thought I’d come write about it...And now my job is done.
P.S. Here’s a lil “advert” I made, like a teaser for my Saturday night diary entry! Short and hopefully naturally humorous! Not me, the vid. Which contains me. So... please watch!
