aww thanks girls. sorry for the rant yesterday - i hate bringing the mood down but you are right it is a horrible time of year to partake in extreme dieting. I am forever turning down meals out and there just seems to be so much on at the moment. this week i have a work meal (I have refused), a kids birthday party (I can't get out of but will not eat), a sat night family do (I can't get out of) and our department lunch (I will make another excuse). i haven't told many people so i always have to think of an excuse.
also, there is food everywhere at the moment and its inescapable. however, i would like to say that my losses have slowed cos i am nearly at goal which i am grateful for and also that the clothes i wore last week today feel even bigger so i am sure i am losing inches all the time. for me, even having 2 CD meals a day and then a proper meal at least keeps my weight static so the days i do nibble don't make me gain (thankfully).
I did ok yesterday - first day in ages that i drank over 2 litres and had all 3 CD meals. feel ok today but like you Jessie I am tempted to stop till Jan but I am too scared to come off. my CDC thinks that i should carry on and if there are meals i need to eat then i should do. the alternative is to come off completely but i need my CD crutch and losing slowly is not so bad when you think that i have a proper meal every sat.
thanks for all your help - i am aiming for a ss 100% week this week! thanks again. i also think being on it for 8 weeks makes you a little complacent cos everyone who sticks to it gets to a point where the losses slow so i hope i have a good loss in the next 2 weeks.
thanks again !
