Cambridge Diet
Well - it didn't work in February in fact I put more weight on!!
I finally decided I had to do something more drastic - so i contacted a Cambridge Diet counsellor. There was one who held sessions down the road from me - well just down the road on my bike, It's really awkward without a car. At first I tried to make excuses again as she could only see me at 3pm on Tuesday and I obviously am at work then, But then I gave myself a serious talking to - if you want to do something you find a way. I decided to take a very late lunch and go to that appointment and Thank God. My weght had gone back up to 86.8kg - that's 13 1/2 stone that's 3 and 1/2 stone back on again!!! I''ve just been very silly - I'm here alone and I've been eating to keep myself company and I said to my husband "food is my friend". His reply "Well you've got lots of friends then!" Too true.
Anyway long and short of it I started up on CD last Tuesday (for those who don't know CD is similar to the diet I used to follow in the UK it is a Very Low Calorie Diet <500 calories a day, and all your meals are these soups or shakes.)
It was good to be back in control
- although i have been so hungry I'm resisting. I want to lose at least 2 stone before I come back to the UK in June. I've also joined a gym and I went 3 time last week and I'm going tomorrow night as well. I'm also walking or cycling to work every day and that is about 4km each way so I'm certainly more active.
Good News is I had my first weigh in today and I'd lost 3kg. I was a little disappointed as that is less than I lost the first week of my first diet but it is a good weight loss and I just need to keep it up.It takes me well on the way to my goal.
It helped writing on here last time so I'm going to try this again to help keep me motivated. I can only talk to my Mum and hubby occasionally because of the time difference so I dn't have the support I had last time. Keep fingers crossed for me.
