I have tried this diet once before, and got a little scared of the smaller me. I have been heavy for so long, I think I may be afraid of what feeling thin will do. Again, thank you!! I feel stronger today just reading your post. Also, how much did you work out? and What types of working out did you do?
Congratulations!!!

Hey Naniudy, it's nice to hear from another lurker.
I feel a bit bad answering your question because to be completely honest I didn't really work out a whole lot.
I started out using the cross trainer a bit and I did go on walks here and there but truthfully it wasn't much.
*But* I do walk to and from work 5 days a week which totals an hour a day of walking, so I like to think I get my regular exercise there.
Also I know what you mean about feeling afraid of how thin will feel. Actually an odd thing I didn't expect was to feel almost bad sometimes when people compliment me on losing so much - when they say I look like a different person I feel kind of offended on behalf of the 'fat me', which I know sounds really silly! And also I see the same person in the mirror I did before so it's just a shock to realise I really have no self-perception at all.
