Have been finding it very tough what with determination to have a social life too...

Onto 1000 plan for me to see if I can stick to it any better - for some, SS isn't that easy!

Why not try 790?

The losses are around the same as for SSing.

I've got a stinking cold and the past couple of days have not been good ones for me I'm embarrassed to say. Too much going on for me to concentrate on making sure I have the packets with me.

CC sent me pkts because couldn't get to see me and put in all soups except for 6 shakes!! How stupid is that :mad: !

Off to have first shake of day now>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hmmm - I couldn't have soups all day either

Hope the cold gets better asap

For Cambridge you need the three D's -

Determination

Dedication

Discipline

Because I can't guarantee to be able to get cottage cheese or quorn where I travel to. More flexibility = more likely I'll be able to stay 'on plan' and not splurge.

Am also a bit fed up between forums of feeling inadequate at not sticking to SS, or lowest possible, etc etc. If it was that easy everyone'd do it.... I am a mere mortal!

Sorry you have having problems sticking to SS.

Do you really seriously want to lose weight? Are you sabotaging yourself along the way, perhaps?

*sigh*

Thanks for adding to the feeling that there is something 'wrong' with me because I can't adapt to 400 calories a day...

I'm glad it works for you, but it doesn't work for *everyone*. I wish you would acknowledge that. I don't think there's anything mentally wrong with me, thanks.

First of all I didn''t suggest that you were 'mentally' impaired in any way.


It is a well-known fact that we can quite easily sabotage ourselves where ANY diet is concerned not just CD.

The mind needs to be in the right place for us to be able to stick to a diet and if it isn't then we have no hope.

I had tried a lot of diets before I went onto CD - I find CD very easy, that is true - but it is because I was ready to start when I did and I had my mind set to losing weight.


Hope all goes well for you and you find a way to lose weight that suits you.

My first week was excellent even though I say so myself . My Mum was then rushed into hospital and everything has, since then, gone on a downward spiral. I'm away from home at various times of the day and there aren't any facilities for me to make up a shake in a hospital......................... My new CC seems to have forgotten about me as I haven't had any communication since the last packets were posted to me and were the wrong flavour :rolleyes: .

So Emmzi - you are not alone .
