    I'm seriously thinking about CD........ there is a counsellor in my area........

    i think i need my choices limited...

    sammy - discuss

    Maz, apart from the odd miserable five mins I have to say I am really - dare I say enjoying it.

    It has made me stop obsessing about food...I do the whole hand to mouth thing out of habit and it has really made me think about how and why I eat. I have actually had three meals a day instead of just tea, coffee, chocolate and chinese.

    I thought I would struggle with the water but I haven't. I am also having salad and 50g of protein a night which helps. You don't have to go on total meal replacements either you can do one of six plans - most of them include food, based on the GI thingy....

    £35 a week seems like a lot but then when you consider how much i spend on food/snacks/drinks then it probably won't be much different...

    i wonder how i'll cope socially as eating out is a big deal to us... but it was to you too...

    i've never really gone on a proper diet "diet" before..... i joined WW once and it didn't work for me....
    it's not like i'm shy of exercising so i think i would be pretty succesful if i could stick to CD.....

    are the drinks really bogging??
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
