    WTF is wrong with me?!

    Thanks for this Alipally - I'm already in therapy but my shrink's into behavioural. I'll read up a bit more on CBT, thanks. I agree it's the mind. Hope those of us who're struggling will 'click' again! xx

    WTF is wrong with me?!

    Thank you everyone... Mrs Z you're so right. It's delibitating to be around food all day and it's supposed to be 'normal' to eat - except: my behaviour towards it is not normal. Right now I'm looking at my own profile and it seems my goals are mocking me. I won't even cross the first one out...

    WTF is wrong with me?!

    Nothing worth having comes easy - gosh i love this. I cant do anything with food cos i have a really unhealthy relationship with it (compulsive overeating) so have to cut it out completely. i feel so flippin depressed

    WTF is wrong with me?!

    6 days and I'm off the wagon again. If im honest I know it’s because SS is too restrictive and when I go out (which is atleast 3-4 times a week) I sometimes switched to SS+ and of course since I have it in my head that the US CD is very different from the UK CD, what’s the point of following the...

    Could someone take a look at a CD bar pls and give me the NVs on them? We don't get them here and for a variation to my 3xshakes a day (no other CD food available here either) I want to see if Atkins or Slimfast make bars with similar NVs I can have. Thank you!

    What does OFF PLAN mean to you?

    Be it planned or accidental - when you have an 'off-plan' day, does it mean you eat like you normally would have if you hadn't been on CD, bringing you out of ketosis? And then do you go back directly the next day or ease in all over again? Presumably you would have to wait a few days to get...

    Advice please! - Black coffee and only eating at night!

    I agree maybe you should try and spread them out a bit. How about you try diluting one shake with water and sipping it through the day along with your coffees and leave the second two CDs for the evening? You need to keep your metabolism going during the day when you're doing most of your...

    I am struggling :(

    Thank you guys for posting here also I really really appreciate it and I;m so happy I checked here to see your replies (I might have to start coming back here to see how y'all are doing :)) Day1 and something has flipped in my head. I was told on the 100% forum something that has really stuck...

    HELP!!

    I love the fact that you wrote your feelings down here. Not only does it help tremendously to say it out, get the demons (*voices*) out in the open to be named and shamed - but it's amazing how many of us see ourselves in each other's stories and we've all been through some version of it...

    100 sit ups a day challenge??

    Sorry to be thick, but by sit-ups do you mean crunches? 100 would be awesome - i usually go for around 50 at the gym - and certainly not every day :) So for this challenge, are we doing them every day? Also, since Ive never been part of a challenge group - do we come here and log our daily work...

    CD has changed my life

    It's so amazing to actually hear from someone you *know* was in the same horrible place as SO many of us - thinking it probably wont work or seeing goal as something so distant that you can't see it - and then hearing from you who has succeeded so beautifully and beginning to see the physical...

    Thank you so much guys for all your responses (just woke up over here for work and came online first thing :) You all are proof that it CAN be done and like many of you have said: it is my decision and mine only and I love the internal voice of 'I want to do this - no one's making me'.

    I think it should be for anyone who is attempting to do a CD plan 100% - even if they do have blips. Personally, this is the only board I come to and feel like I know it's groove, the people, the conversations. I personally would feel like I can't come here for support if I am not 'perfect' and...

  136. binibikini

    A naughty question

    Hello peeps! Ok, so I want to know: do any of you have a smoke or two to kill your appetite on SS? Also my friend told me about Dexatrim Max tablets that kill the appetite and give a boost of energy. Input?? xx

    Oats and Soup

    No sadly we dont have the CDC option either. Which is another reason I find this messageboard so helpful! It's a shame all y'all go to sleep just when my nighttime munchies begin to creep in ;) I'll see if I can contact a CDC in the UK!
  148. binibikini

    Oats and Soup

    I'm getting my oats and potato soup cans in the mail any day now! Here in the US the options are rather limited and we dont have pre-prepped food/packs... Are the Brit CD foods called "Food For Life"? I wish someone in the UK could send me some banana shakes and fun flavors. Any fun...

  167. binibikini

    A good way to stay on top of your water, is have a glass full before or after each cup of tea/coffee and shake/soup etc. etc. So a glassful for everything you put in your mouth! :)

    Exercise

    I should think/hope so! I am even doing a fair amount of cardio in the evenings but always before my dinner shake as I'm always hungry then. So my plan is to have a shot of coffee for the energy boost 30mins before the work out and dinner an hour or so after.
