Thread: Terrified of possibility of gaining weight when I've successfully completed CD

Hi!

Thanks for your lovely response! I can see myself in you a bit, especially the part where I, too, think thin people can eat anything ;-) My sisters are skinny as hell (excuse the language but only way to explain it) and they eat tons of crisps etc etc. and that's given me a wrong view of thin people.

I used to eat whole bags of crisps when I felt bad, tons of choc-bars etc. I ate more and more bad stuff and before I know it I was 30kg overweight. Even now it amazes me how I could've done this to myself...

As we here in the Netherlands have different rules for VLCD's I can SS longer if I want, but I've already discussed with my CDC I want to be able to add food when I feel weak / bad. Lately I've been feeling really cold and very very weak and it's giving me the feeling I need more calories.
I have discussed this with her and we agreed on me doing SS+ meals on days where I feel weak. I am quite happy with her ''blessing''. I would've stuck to SS if she hadn't told me it would be okay and I would've ended up sick and miserable :$

So now I'm having the occasional small meal. :-) She, the darling, also opted I move to Soya Slim if I really do feel bad about Cambridge SS because Soya Slim would be soooo much cheaper (I'm a student, don't have tooo much money spare ;-)) and asked me to look into it.

I have and I decided I want to stick to Cambridge SS/SS+. I'm worried that switching plans now will mess it all up hahah. I like knowing for certain that I can do this and that there are still flavours I like.

I plan to do all the steps up for about 2-3 weeks each. I want to establish a good basis for myself and I do not want to have to go back to ''healthy eating'' in 4 weeks or so. That, for me, would be way too soon and I need to get back to normal food in a very slow pace so I can monitor all the changes in my body, weight, etc etc. :-)

Thanks for posting and best of luck with your journey,

Hi Ive not been on here for a while in 2006 I went on CD an dropped from 16 1/2 st to 13 st,

I then went back to my normal eating habits and piled the weight back on to about 17 and a half stone, I got to the point in may where I thought enough is enough and I wend back on CD.

Ive gone from 17st 8 to 13 st 10 in about 9-10 weeks although i havent been using ss i've had 3 units a day and a meal ( usually a chicken breast and salad etc),

i plateaud at 13st 7 so im doing a week of SS to kick start my metabolism then im going to do add a meal for 3 weeks then slowly work my way up to about 2000 kcal a day,
Ive decided to cut out white bread completely and im going to stick to complex carbs and protein. i dont have a sweet tooth, the problem I had last time was takeaways, alcohol doesnt add weight with me as i usually only drink spirits and diet mixers anyway, but ive realised its the complete and utter rubbish i was putting into my body that made me balloon again.

My strategy is to get down to 12 st ( my target is 12 and a half) and then increase my calories with home cooked low Gi food etc I've got my head round portion control now and as i love salad i will probably use that to fill me up etc.

To me it seems its all about a total lifestyle change, like instead of getting a takeaway after a night out have something healthy waiting at home etc.

Im going to give my body a head start by going 7lb over my target just so that any glycogen store weight i put on is balanced against my weight and im going to take it day by day.. Ive had nights off while on AAM and had a few drinks etc but not put on at all so hopefully ill be able to keep it off this time
