Thread: This is the last time I do this

Hi all, just thought I would update you all. It's not looking good for a restart tomorrow, It's just getting worse, headaches, sore throat, nausea, weak, tight chest, achy.... I spoke to a nurse today who suspects it may be related to the diet. Me being me begged to differ, I want to get back on it as I know it's the quickest way to lose the weight. If I'm honest I'm not really sure what to make of it all. What I do know is that as soon ad I start to feel better I'm getting straight back on Cambridge!.... If I get sick again then I may be convinced, until then I'm putting it down to mere coincidence.

Although I haven't over eaten I haven't made the best choices either. That has a lot to do with the fact that I haven't left the house for two days and have just had to make do with what I have..... Which of course being on CD isn't a lot!!....

I'm gonna head out tomorrow and get the ingredients to make some soup as my throat feels just awful!

Hope you're all doing well.... Believe it or not, I am jealous that I am no longer part of the CD 'crew' I would have been well into week 2 and a couple of pounds closer to my goal by now!

That brings me to a little moan, why does something always stand in my way?... Every time I come close something happens! A year an a half ago I was so close to my goal and what happened? I fainted, split my head open and ended up in hospital! Then, I get close again about 6 months later and I start a new job and end up spending 3 weeks away from home. I get close again and my stupid knee starts causing problems so I can't exercise. I do CD and first the anti inflammatories mean I have to eat twice a day anyway, and in doing that within the CD 'rules' I still end up sick as a dog and stuck at 10.9!!!! It's times like this I really do feel that maybe I'm not meant to be smaller than this. Maybe my body is just refusing to let me get to 9.7?..... Anyway, enough winging. I'm gonna get through this and back on the wagon! I WILL see 9.7 on the scales before summer!!

Hi Q & P
I am on day one as a returner and having just read that in 8 weeks and 6 days I am attending a White dinner party I am more determined than ever.
I should have started two week back but had a horrific uti and 2 courses of tablets so now is the best time. My CDC didn't mention 4 packs so just emailed her checking am doing it right. Is it true coke zero is ok too?
I hope I have your attitude and will power later in the week.
Good Luck everyone

Hey! QP you will get back on CD and you will reach 9.7 by summer because you want to! On any diet plan one has to "want to" lose the weight and I mean really "want to". I re-started half heartedly on CD since October 2010 and just haven't got anywhere until now. Although I had to have an extra pack again yesterday and that is fine. Just try and make the right choices if you can as we are eventually going to have to to that anyway! Sigh!

Hey all,

Thank you all so much for your support.

So here I am 5 days off plan... Let's just say it hasn't been awful, but it hasn't been exactly great either. Stuck at home sick and watching Jeremy Kyle was almost enough to drive me back to the fags! Luckily I'm too sick to smoke. Not too sick to eat apparently!.... I feel fatter than I did before starting CD, have put 4lbs of what I lost back on, I assume most of that is water since I've been on plenty of fluids and soup. Anyway....

----------------------------------------------- There's the line drawn.

So I'm not feeling much better, but am bored as hell stuck at home! So I am thinking I might go back to work tomorrow. And as soon as I go back to work I'm going back on CD. I actually miss the shakes. I had a tetra with my weetabix this morning. How sad is that?

I've been eating for the sake of eating and to keep my strength up. Hunger isn't a problem, the boredom of being at home is.

I've got my weigh in tomorrow, not going to go, simply because I would rather get a week of CD under my belt before my next weigh in.

Not looking forward to the 3 day settle in, but hopefully I've got all the support I need here!

Wish me luck.... I'll let you know how tomorrow goes!!!

Hope you're all staying strong!

Hey! QP sorry to hear you still not well. Once you feel better and are back in the work routine you'll get back into the swing of it I'm sure. Alas for me being back at work after Easter hols is very difficult! I find myself really empty/hungry when I get in. Still trying to stick to having packs at 12, 6 and 8 but the gap between 6 and 8 is a real struggle!

I seem to have neglected this thread. I'm still going. Day 7 of restart since being ill.

I am sooooo doing this!
