Hi All
I am thinking of starting this diet next week - am seeing a consultant on Saturday.
I have read both wonderful and terrible things about this diet but am thinking seriously about giving it a go. I am addicted to food plain and simple. There are many treatments for people with alchohol, drug and Anorexia but they do not seem to take food addiction seriously. This diets seems to deal with both the mental and physical addictions.
I ballooned when I was pregnant with my daughter 18 years ago - pregnancy was an excuse to stuff myself silly but paid for it big time after. Three years later I lost 4 stone with a low fat diet and intense exercise. Alas after 10 years of keeping it off I put it all back on again. I would try the same diet again but I am older, less fit and have a very demanding job which keeps me away from home a lot so it is not feasible.
I have now got to the stage where I am having to wear clothes and wash and dry them over night as I refuse to buy bigger clothes. I also went on a girls holiday a couple of weeks ago and today have seen the photo's. I was mortified, angry, upset and totally disgusted and embarrassed at my appearance.
I am desperate to lose the weigth by summer. Is this feasible and how true are the horrific stories of hairloss, gallstones etc.
I think I will definitely going for it but would any views would be greatly received.
Appologise for unloading all this but am probably as desperate as I have ever been.
Thanks in advance
