So I'm taking the plunge start cd on tuesday. So far I've been reading all the posts thinking it will help to kick start my journey but instead the food beast is taking over and I've put on more weight this week! Wtf. So if I write my own diary it may help me reel in the beast.
I think I'll be exactly 15 stone when I start and at a 5.3 that's not good. What has finally made me start this diet is.
I'm obese
No matter how bubbly n smily i am I'm
Never really happy
My relationship with food needs a overhaul
My 3 kids need me around.

I'm sure I've got another million reasons but these all I can think of now.
Ive takes advice n tried to ditch the carbs in
Preparation but Its so friggin hard. Water intake is up but nowhere near to 4 litres.
So it's my Friday night and I'm trying not to eat
( as I've had dinner already). I'll hve water instead.
 
My goals
Week 1 stick with it
May challenge 10 pounds
 
Welcome to the mad world of cd!
You'll be fine, first few days are a nightmare but after that it gets so much easier. Good luck, :)

Good luck for your start on Tuesday - it'll come round soon enough.
 
Sat 5 May- the more I want to do this there are more obstacles by which I mean family which equals food. I finally told 2 people about the diet and so far seem to support me. Let's see.
Going to enjoy the weekend seeing that it's my last one before I start but I won't go too overboard.
 
Hey love u seem to be struggling even before u start x u start on Monday ? Well I didn't ditch the carbs on run up to starting infact it was my bday so I ate loads drank loads and enjoyed myself then started Sunday night the min I got weighed and got my shakes x my advice to u if u want it is enjoy yr weekend eat whatever and don't over think starting the diet x start on Monday with the piece of mind u have had yr treats and now yr going to do this 100% it's important to start positive and not feeling deprived on cd as it makes it double hard x so just chill and enjoy yr weekend with yr family then go for it Monday x I'm always here if u need a moan advice or a general chit chat x I go on my diary everyday so just pop by and I will always reply x good luck sweetheart xxxxxxxxxxxx it's hard but I promise worth it and this site is brilliant for support I have some lovely friends on here and yr more than welcome to join in xxx
 
Nearly Tuesday so my last day of eating rubbish for a while and can I believe it I seem to hate eating. This weekend has been food overload with having family around and I've woken up this morning thinking seriously how much can I really eat? I would love to give my stomach a break but have one last social event today!!!
This forum really can keep you focused- but also on the other hand I'm really nervous what if I can't even get through day 1? What if I put in weight rather than lose it in my first week???
But I'm going to try hard. I really would love to be a size 12!!!
 
U will lose and u will stick to it x it's hard work but u will do it x good luck tomoz and if u want anything pop by my diary leaes jelly wobble and we can do it together xxxx good luck hunny
 
hi there thanks for that. I just had my last costa for now and made it last an hour to savour the taste. Im so excited now started projecting my weight loss and what i could be in 3 months. However that can also be a bit dangerous for me because if i dont reach it i will be beside myself. Am aiming to lose 3 lbs a week as i have to start on the 1200 cal step but i can do it. thanks so much for your support
 
Just take it 1 day at a time - first week is hard but it does get easier!! Come on here masses in first few days & if it's really bad go to bed - that's how I got through anyway!!! You can do this, I ate really badly leading up to starting & it was fine - just switch on the focus tomorrow morning to getting through that day, then the next etc & before you know it you are in ketosis! We're all here for you!
 
Ps I'm not sure you could ever put weight on on this diet - unless you cheat - which I'm sure you won't!!
 
lol i best not put on weight.... really going to miss my lattes though....... thanks ever so much for your support.
 
Hey new to cd! You are going to smash it :) stay positive, drink plenty and keep reminding yourself of the reasons behind it. It helps a lot! Always keep a pack with you too as you never know what obstacles life will throw in your path :) everyone on here is very supportive and it really helps to look at the inspirational pics when you are feeling the urge toward something you shouldn't. I'm wishing you all the best and keep posting! Not being on sole source I find keeping a food diary helps me stay focussed, my first week I had little treats organised for rewarding myself for getting through another day :) face masks, taking time to have a nice bath and smother lotion in etc made me feel better about myself and helped me look better to! Be excited! In a month you'll have lost lots! Be strong xxx
 
So last day of eating "normally" n I cannot wait to stop eating. I know I'll regret this by my day 3. I've had everything that I'll miss but in small bits. May finish my evening with a diet coke.

I've been inspired by so many threads n looked at their journeys truly amazing. I really do want to put a picture up but feel really embarrassed.... I think I'll wait so i can put on a before n after shot. I've just told my OH that I'm starting tomorrow n he really didn't take me seriously. I'm going to show him that I can do this and that I am in it for real.

Hope my CDC is good.

Hi leah. Thank you will need someone to keep an eye on me lol. Yes sitting at the hairdressers with my litre aim to finish it while I'm here and also the toilets are very clean. My CDC was very nice and I'm working down the plan to ss+. Being on 1200 is ok as I get to eat but seriously scared of eating the wrong stuff or 2 much food. So far I choc shake which was yum, I slice of bread and mouthful of tea as I used semi skimmed milk. So off to buy my weeks supply of food and plan my menu until next week.
I started at 14.10 and hopefully by week 3 I'll see the lovely number 13!!!!

Hope u hving a good day so far. X
 
hiya, Im new on the CD too im on day 5 of SS+ and actually finding it really good, have got some much energy too, your be fine drink plenty of water and your be good.
I have my first weigh in Thurdsday eek!
Good luck..
 
I've just restarted today too and also know the food beast, the little voice that says its ok to have another biscuit today, or extra toast but start tomorrow, but after reading a post on here yesterday I realise I've been looking at cd the wrong way. I've been eating like I'll never eat again, or like I'll be deprived forvever which I realise is the wrong way to look at it.

I'm deprived now because I stay in because my clothes are too tight, I'm miserable because I'm unfit and I go to bed every night hoping I'll do better tomorrow. At least getting back to cd, I'm 'choosing' to give it a try. Then after I've lost the weight, I'll re introduce food but not eat instead of feeling my emotions. Try to stop thinking of your last of everything, it's not forever its just whilst it's not working for you. You can do it!!
