After spending the last week reading everyone else's diary I have decided to start my own.
Start Date: 30th Sept 2011
Start Weight: 18st 6lbs (258lbs)
Target End Date: 15th July 2012
Target Weight: 9st 7lbs (138lbs)
16 years ago I weighed a fairly respectable 9st7lbs, then I met my partner & after 15 very happy years together I have managed to steadily pack on a huge amount of weight.
I've tried all manner of diets (Atkins, Calorie controlled, just not eating etc) & although I would lose a couple of stone it always inches back on.
So this time is the last time I will diet....EVER!!
I am determined that by summer next year I shall wear a skimpy bikini & sit on the beach with all the other hotties. No longer wearing my sarong in the pool. Or wearing long trousers in scorching summer heat.
I chose Cambridge Diet because I think that when you have an addiction to something (in my case food) then the easiest way to overcome it is 'cold turkey'. & as I cannot just simply stop eating, i think that replacing all my food with 'food-packs' is the only way I will ever overcome my insane relationship with food.
My first weigh in will be tomorrow (only 6 days) & so far this week I have found it tough but manageable.
Day 1 - hungry but otherwise ok
Day 2 - Hungry but otherwise ok
Day 3-5 - Really rough; light-headed & dizzy most of the time & slept loads
However today, Day 6, I'm feeling pretty normal - so hopefully am over the worst of it now.
