Today 3 things happened that suprised me...pleasantly
When I was walking my 2 eldest children to school this morning my knickers started falling down! they just slid down and the only thing holding them up were the crotch of my trousers they fell down so much that there was no way for me to pull them up without being too obvious so I had to carry on walking to the school...and all the way back home again with them bagging around my knees. I was really paranoid that the material was obvious thru my trousers but hey-ho! what could I do about it?? nowt!!
although rather shameful, i consider my knickers falling down being a milestone to be proud of lol.
The 2nd thing that happened was that when i picked up my kids from school...my daughter started being cheeky with me so I said " Right...just u wait! Im gonna get ya later" and her taunting reply was "HOW? you are too slow!". So I chased her.....and actually caught her too!!! Now...she is only 6 and I should be able to catch her but the sad truth is, I couldnt have done that before. Shes pretty fast for her age and its something new for me so I was dead impressed with myself. She ran back to her big brother and started saying "she actually got me!" and seemed to be genuinely impressed. That made me feel good
The third thing was tonight...sitting with hubby watching TV. I suddenly noticed I was crossing my legs. Now...before I get ahead of myself...I wasnt comfortable while doing it and it wasnt a perfect leg cross by any stretch of the imagination BUT I could never have even done that a month ago.
So all in all...I am pretty chuffed by these things.
I didn't find today easy though. I still have huge cravings and have come so so close to falling off the wagon and binging again but so far so good. I have resisted. Just makes me feel a bit miserable needing food so much. I am keeping focused though and am determined not to set myself back again. I am on my 8th day back SSing and can't afford to have to try to start over. I am sure the cravings will subside before too long though and I will stop thinkoing about food. Well thats my hope anyways!!
Cant say that i feel hungry but i just want to eat! Yesterday I felt hungry and hated cooking. Wanted to pick as I cooked and wish that hubby would help out more with food preparation. Stuck to the diet rigidly though
This morning I took my 3 kids and my niece to the cinema. Went to watch "The Reef" and they really enjoyed it. I bought a box of Celebrations for them to share and as my youngest is only 2 yrs old...i was having to unwrap the choccies for him so it was quite difficult to not just pop one in my mouth.
On the way home, popped into my parents so that they could see all of their grandchildren at once. Sat with my glass of water while my mum cooked the kids bacon and chips
All i wanted to do was grab the bacon, shove it between 2 slices of bread and eat like my life depended on it!! Then she gave them cakes. I dont have a sweet tooth but EVERYTHING looks good when you aren't allowed to eat any food!
Still remained good despite having to cook dinner this evening as well. I wish hubby would take over the cooking at the weekends. its not fair! I have to do it all week because of his job so its only right he should let me go bathe while they all eat a couple of times a fortnight.
So I basically came on to have a little moan and get it off my chest. Went to the local pub tonight with my dad. Got to catch up with a few friends who don't know Im on this mad diet. Was asked why I was only drinking mineral water and just put it down to having to get up early tomorrow.
Only the people who know I am following CD have commented that I have lost weight. Im looking forward to other people noticing. Then I'll know my hard work is paying off and that I am making notable changes
Other than my little whinge, I feel great. Im so chuffed I have remained well behaved. Normally I would have cheated by now but I am being an angel! Going to have my last pint of water and go to bed now.
My name is Karen and I am 30 years old. I am married with 3 children and we live in Plymouth, Devon. I am from London and my hubby is from America but we prefer to live in the West Country to either of those places
After being a fatty all my life, I finally decided to try the Cambridge Diet after millions of attempts at Slimming World, Weight Watchers and everything else you can imagine! My weight has yo-yoed for years and the smallest I ever got to in my adult life is 10 stone 5lbs. That was 7 years ago and somehow I have managed to pile on a massive 8 stones since then
I have now been on Cambridge diet since 23rd Jan 07 (the day following my 30th Birthday) and I am now 1 month into the diet. After a few day hiccup of eating (oopps) I am successfully 1 stones lighter.
I weigh in with my CDC (Cambridge Diet Counsellor) every Monday evening. I will report how I get on each week and blog about my feelings/eating triggers and everything else inbetween in the meantime
they fell down so much that there was no way for me to pull them up without being too obvious so I had to carry on walking to the school...and all the way back home again with them bagging around my knees. I was really paranoid that the material was obvious thru my trousers but hey-ho! what could I do about it?? nowt!!
