Cambridge Diet part II

Maz

I think my ss+ meal on Monday has brought on this negativity :rolleyes: Now even my shakes taste awful whereas I loved them hours before eating I wont give up, I cant, faluire is not an option... Hence why I have had an outburst here (which I am now so very sorry about and I am embrassed to post here now) instead of heading to my usual haunts and cheating. I am very proud of myself that I have nearly done a month 100% :j

I just emptied my piggy bank to get mum to buy me the tablets that have been reccomended on minimins and she said she would buy them. Of course I then got angry with her and asked why she didnt offer yesterday :rolleyes: Not very good and that made me feel even worse.

I just want to let people know that may be reading that this diet is hard its not all fluffy and light. Yes it can be easy and I have had easy days which far outweigh the bad but when you get bad days they are very dark days. If I knew then what I know now...

Anyways goodluck those of you who are doing 100% days. My secrets are online games, paint and matey baths :rotfl:

Oh and I have decided to set myself little goals when I reach I can have a 'reward'. I have wanted to collect momiji dolls for ages but couldnt justify the cost. However I want something to aim towards and £13 every 30lbs I feel is justified

*btw maz, are we still having the party on the beach/fun run thingie down Dorset?*

Youre doing great PAP, don't beat yourself up. I for one am seriously impressed with your commitment.

I'm sorry though, you are going to have to explain, paint and matey baths???????

Sweet. Let's do it! I'm feeling grand this evening! (Not in ketosis, but grand all the same.) :j

I'm feeling pretty good after not eating even half a chip, or a finger full of curry or finishing the fish pie.
Deprived but Good........

I started the original thread 2 years ago - doesn't time fly!

I lost about 4 stone over 16 or so weeks - some hardcore weeks and some cheat weeks.

I pretty much did ss and then went back to my normal eating ways.

I have kept the weight off since I stopped, going up and down by half a stone at any one time!

I gave up for a number of reasons:

Because I went from a 20/22 to a 16 I felt soooooooooo slim I guess I lost my motivation.

I had health issues - colds, coughs, etc etc which got me down, I now don't blame SS but at the time I found it hard as I am not normally a poorly person. And everyone kept on telling me it was the diet.

I suppose I also just wanted to be normal again!

Since stopping I have tried to get back on the wagon soooooo many times, and it is very hard.

I would say that if you can keep with it until you reach your goal, whatever that maybe be. It will be better than having a break and then trying to get back on it!

I am a 14/16 now but would love to be a 12/14, I have a large frame and I am 5.8 so any thinner and I could look a little odd and I don't want to lose my curves.

I am on holiday next week and then I am trying again - 2 stone should do it! I am trying a different counsellor, so see if this makes a difference in terms of my motivation.

Poggy if you can please try and keep going, I made the mistake of stopping and can't get back on it again.

My CDC did say to me that people who never ever cheat have the easiest time..... i just thought she was talking carp as she makes it up as she goes along!!

Personally i would never have got to 18 weeks without "doing a Maz" but it does take me a while to get my head back in the game each week...... so there's probably something to be said for not cheating.

Pap - i'm booked in for hotel from 31st July to 6th August so let us know what your rota is as soon as you know... probably on the 1st/2nd aug for the weekend minimeet!!

:rotfl: Duncan... Paint refers to my art journalling and craft work. Although I dont claim to be much good at it.Matey baths is a strange one, the other day I really really fancied a bubble bath (usually shower), and I have never had such a bubbly bath since matey (I was about 7/8 years old). So I tracked down my boots card and got a bottle free :j Love them and have one every two days if not every day :rotfl:

Hi LLH!! welcome back, we've only just moved in the last week or so... your original thread was a real inspiration!
Well done on keeping to your half stone limit, that's my plan, i'm gonna allow myself half a stone and work hard to stay within that limit...

Once i get there of course!!!

Sue - can you put me down for a 100% day purlease!!! yay me! And i did i 3.5mile run as well, so super-de-duper!! There was garlic bread again, but i resisted..... i just went out for my run and left them to it!

What did you do about the fish pie? Will they eat it tomorrow?
