Beanie - I agree with everyone else, stay indoors and get someone else to go out for you.

Sammy - Sounds like you're sorted for a bit

It's the wine box which leaked the other day and I had to decant into bottles.
Would hate it to go to waste.

Thanks to each and every one of you... However special thanks to Sammy and Maz :A without you to I would have never learnt so much about the diet and decided to attempt it

I know not everyone agrees with CD but if it takes you from morbidly obese to a healthy weight and you can maintain it then it doesn't matter!

Thats the problem when you mention CD its like shock horror. But I see it as a tool, just as slimming pills/weightloss surgery/callorie counting/gyms are. The problem is when you are told you have 5 years to live and you then start debating surgey having a go at a 'drastic' diet is just the 'last' chance. For me it worked/is working and I will forever be grateful to that Dr Howard in the 1970's that invented it. I dont think there will be any doubt that I can maintain it, I know I will and I will make sure I do

Pap you do remind me of my sister so much, she was about your start weight and the same height if not shorter. She also has PCOS and has struggled with her weight...she is finally down to 9st ish and she is like a different person, her face always has a smile on it and she looks alive now.
The most noticeable change on the pics is your face..you've gone from looking like someone who is truly unhappy to a photo of someone who is alive and enjoying life. The weight loss is obvious too but its the expression on your face which is the biggest change

Yes defianatly, ok but of heart pouring coming up.... When I was overweight, when I was at school (bearing in mind I was nearly 21st at school/college) I used to say oh I love being me weight, if I change my persoanlity wont be the same. Now looking back they were another excuse to add to the pile when people asked about my weight. It was like which excuse/card shall I play today? I didnt like myself then but I made out I did just so people didnt worry about me etc etc.

The turning point came once I was the otherside of my depression. I sat down and thought about what I really didnt like about myself, I worte everything down from small things (the mole above my eye) to big things, my weight and faith. I then listed them into order of what I would deal with when. I then promised myself these things that I could change will be changed. It just so happend that I put weight as my first thing to change. However I have since found out that when changing my weght other things have sorted themselves out or dont overly matter anymore :T

I burned that list when I hit 50lbs lost Now I can honestly say there is nothing I want to change about myself at all. Well appart from get to goal Im a different person, I am not 'into' some of the things I was when I was overweight, I certainly dont feel like the same person. Even looking at the old pics I have to double take and then I start remembering how I felt (ref depression) and I remember

The sad thing is though now I am not as heavy as I was I have different emotions/feelings towards overweight people. I go from feeling sorry for them to being angry that they cant do something about it themselves. I know that genearllsing (sp?) but I cant help myself I felt sorry for myself then and I had excuses excuses, the same I hear form work collegues etc. But now I have done it I know they were excuses and I now know if you want to do something about your weight you can... Maybe I sound patronising or 'big headed' but I guess now I have been through it I know its a mental thing not a metabolic thing

As I said to my CDC if I stop now I would be happy because this is the lowest I have ever been in my life. I also think I look quite good, well anything is better than what I used to be :rotfl:

Inspiring post PAP - and very honest. We can all make excuses - and we can all change things if we really want to
