Cambridge Diet

alyssa_mae

The other thing was which I forgot to tell my cdc was I started to feel really depressed last night. not the depressed where you feel down. but the scarey depressed and I really don't want to risk going there. so I feel I made the best choice I will try doing something else. The good thing is I have realised I don't need to be picking all the time and just have 3 healthy meals a day, and I do need my cup of tea with suger and milk in the mornings to function. good luck to all you strong willed cdieters out there I do admire your willpower.:T

Thanks Sammy -

so day 1 has begun... managed to down 2 extra glasses of water when brushing my teeth! so i guess that's a good habit to get into.... I started with porrige this morning, apple & cinamon, and although it wasn't lush, it feels like a reasonable breakfast so day doesn't start by feeling denied, IYKWIM.....

1 litre of water later and it's lunchtime... so i had a mushroom soup... it was proper soup-y... quite thick and fairly tasty... i did only put the minimum water in it... but it filled my mug up so it wasn't a tiny portion.... i might add more water next time though as maybe not be as hard to get to the bottom...

Going out for my break, as i am now going to call it, at work, as opposed to lunch, as no lunch will be consumed....!

Going to get petrol, and see if somerfields have any herbal teas... someone on minimins said they liked redbush tea, so might buy a little one of those to try.

I also created myself a blog on minimins, as i am keen look back and see how i get on....!

so far so good... onwards and downwards (the weight that is!)

Hi Maz, just read your blog on the minimins site...was going to comment but couldn't figure out how to do it, so I thought I would pop back here and do it..but now I can't remember what I was going to comment on....:o

Oh I know, I have an electric hand whisker, it was about £4 from Asda. I take mine to work but forgot the bottom bit of it yesterday so I ended up with a hand shook shake which was lumpy...so I might go and buy myself a spare to leave at work..

I tried porridge this morning - it was rank so I threw it away and had a chocolate mint.....butterscotch is my favourite at the minute.. I might just try 21 of those next week..:rotfl:

On the plus side I have just updated my weekly bank account and I have spent so much less on food, takeaways and eating out!!!!I am quite chuffed.

Looking forward to seeing how day 2 goes for you. I found breaking the late night snacking habit hard too....but it does get easier..

I'm glad to not it's not just me then. I have taken anti depressants for years and my doctor gave me the go ahead to do the diet so I didn't think it would effect me. I admit though I only have about a stone and a 1/2 to lose but I have been trying to lose it for 10 years. I did tell my cdc that I wanted to do the 2 shakes and a 800cal dinner which I think I may have been ok on but she talked me into doing the sole source + I think she just wanted quick results where as I would have been happy losing it more slowly.

Im on day 1 of a restart today after my birthday
I too was sick for the 1st day when I 1st started CD
Mine passed and by day 3 I felt fantastic
You could be coming down with a bug and for me at least I actually think I had to get used to drinking so much
I lost 2.5 stone in 10 weeks

How much liquid does a shake and soups make? I need o get a cup with a lid on to take to work to shake it up!

I find it is very hard to mix a shake just by shaking in a cup! Ikea sell battery operated hand whisks for £1 which are fab for mixing both soups and shakes. You can find these whisks in other shops too. Good luck!

yeah! like an aerolatte type whisk! that would do the job, wouldn't it??!!

I am contemplating our hand blender to work with me but it's not exactly inconspicuous! it's about foot n a half long!!! and noisy!

i wonder if i could get an aerolatte type thingy from ebay... no shops near me at all.......

edit - 5 mins later... have bought one from Ebay! yay!!! £2 plus postage but would cost me more than that in petrol to get to any shops, not to mentions finding one somewhere!
