Cambridge Diet

A little more positive!

Monday, October 31, 2005 23:04:10

Had 2nd week weigh in last night ... feeling a little more positive after a chat with CDC.

I have only lost another 3lb and we were hoping for about 6 this week but hey ho at least I know that what I am losing now is pure fat rather than glucose stores or water.

Accidently ate a chicken salad wrap last night after weigh in as a "treat" even though I had just been introduced to CD bars ... so after a bar and a wrap I found (not surprisingly!) I was out of ketosis.

Not feeling too bad today hunger wise .. nothing I can't get through until I slip back into ketosis which will prob be overnight tonight.

Now I know I've just used the term "treat" haven't I? I've only just realised that and surely that would imply that I'm still using food to comfort me or in line with my emotions at the time of said "treat".

A little concerning but I'll get over it lol .... at least I do know a little more about my hunger pangs and when they are just emotional needs and I can control this - I do feel far more in control funnily enough!

Its 3pm and I've had a pack and a half so not doing too badly.

I have now lost about 3.5 inches off my waist so hopefully I'll just be one of these people who shows in inches to start with then you start to notice a bit more in the weight loss department! Having said that I haven't noticed any difference in my clothing yet but then I guess I need to take a step back and look at the whole picture .... I'm 6lb lighter - nearly half a stone lost and my measurements are decreasing so I'm not putting weight on or remaining the same ... I am losing. Something I couldn't do the second time round on Weight Watchers - first time, no problem .. lost almost 2 stone! Put it all back on and then some! So typical!

Am hoping to be back in my size 10's by crimbo but who knows .. at this rate I may have to settle for a 12 ..... but still better than a 14 or 16 I suppose.

Hmmm ...... hope I lose more next week .... not going to cheat at all this week and not going to make any packs into solids .. surely I can't go wrong with that plan?

Lets see ....

Unfortunately my life is pretty dull at the moment so nothing really major to write about ... I feel to fat to go out and even if I didn't nothing fits me so I don't go out at the weekends .... in fact am majorly skint too (thanks to CD!) lol. I'm sure when things start changing I'll have more to talk about so apologies for yet another BORING entry! :o)

Well I'm going to try and keep this post short and sweet other wise I'll bore you to tears and you'll all think "shut up and stop feeling sorry for yourself"

I had my first weeks weigh in on Monday (2 days ago) and found I'd only lost 3lb!!!!

I can't understand how this could be the case as I'd done everything by the book and was feeling good about myself.

CDC said it could be water retention and that next weeks loss will be considerably bigger.

Heres hoping ... cos right now all I want to do is eat ..... :o(

week 1 done!

Well .. after a rather hard slog I've managed to get through 7 days without food! Ok ok ... I have been on the Cambridge Diet so thats not completely true I have had my food packs!

I have my first weigh-in tonight ... I really hope its been worth it!

The past 7 days have seen me go from sad/angry to estatic and full of beans to craving something savoury and yum to excitement of being weighed again!

I have to admit that the savoury flavours aren't all that and I am hoping my CDC will allow me to buy some bars this week as I'm hoping that giving me something to chew on will help disperse these bloody cravings I keep getting!

Having said that they are JUST CRAVINGS!

One thing this diet has taught me so far is: what is hunger and what is just plain greed!

I have also had heaps of great advice and support from all the members at www.minimins.com - a forum used by all dieters on VLCDs (very low calorie diet) and WW, LL etc ..... would highly recommend signing up if anyone was thinking about these diets.

I hope to lose around 3 stone on this diet so I can wow hubby in a lovely frock for valentines day 2007! :o)

Losing 3 stone will also allow for a little fluctuating should I have any nights out etc.

So here goes my journey to size 10 heaven!

Weigh in : 6 hours 20 minutes to go!
