Way to go gem!!
Tracey - you can do it! I had a really rough time at first - hated the stuff. Have you tried blending it with ice and 16 oz. of water instead fo 8? I've found that the french vanilla, when made into a slushee with the ice and when you add Equal or some kind of sugar substitute and some orange and vanilla extract (2 to 1 in favor of the orange) tastes like an orage creamsicle popsicle and is actually quite lovely!
Also, I like the chicken soup with red curry powder and black pepper and just a hint of herbs. Tomato soup is nice with cilantro and pepper or with basil, parsley, and a bit of pepper.
Keep at it tracey - we all find flavors we love and hate. I absolutely can't stomach the cappuccino at all, but found the Dutch chocolate (not regular) to be fine to me even without the sugar substitute and ice and actually prefer to not use the ice in it.

Thanks Kippaxmum! I am determined to smile-now I am shifting the weight I have something to smile about!
How are you today? I have only had 1l of water and a strawberry tetra so far. I'm wondering if leaving it so late in the day to have anything is slowing my weightloss? xxx

not at all! that's what this thread is here for. good to hear you are getting back on it now-never put of until tomorrow what could be done today!!!
sometimes i think it would be so much easier to just forget the diet and dig into a huge bag of doritos or something. especially after a bad day. but i remember how unhappy i was before CD and i realise that i should be happy now.
CD is the only thing in my life that is going the right way (and my relationship with my OH of course!!) so i focus totally on it and would never do anything to jeopardise it. i am surprised that i am so strong willed when before i couldn't even go an hour without eating something crap!!! x

Ugh; it's been a really bad couple of days. I still have no TOTM, and my stomach is still giving me crap over the pizza I ate. (And a bit of BBQ in a weak "Well, I've already ruined the diet" moment) I'm no longer in ketosis... I've been having to do 2 meal sand 1 shake a day because I'm near out of food (CD USA doesn't sell individual sachets - smallest we can get at a time is a 5 day supply) and I can't afford to get more food until Monday, so the weekend is going to be really rough - might not be able to even start getting back into ketosis until Tuesday, when I'll have food again (thanks, in large part, to selling my first ever guitar, a relic from the 60s that I really didn't want to part with....) I wore a pair of 10./12 jeans today to remind me, "MISSY! DON'T YOU DARE EAT THAT PIECE OF RUBBISH!!!"
Not to mention, I feel like hell warmed over - scratch that, I'm freezing, so just me run over. I slept straight through the first half of work today - WHILE AT WORK - on our couch, and I look so bad that my bosses didn't even wake me! My stomach wants to vomit, I'm bone tired, weak, no energy..... just BLAH! Hopefully this means it's TOTM for me, but I've been feeling this way all week so who knows.

Feeling a bit better today, but lazy. I've been in bed (it's now 11am) with a good book all day. About to grab a shower and go shopping. I don't have any money but it's the last day of a BOGO sale at a really cheap stre - so I could get some shirts for 3USD a shirt. I'm going to go for lunch, too; hopefully I can find something responsible and tasty as I left my salad dressings at school so don't have anything to flavour them with. I've heard the fat free ones are okay though - so that's an option....
And impossible as it is after being so bad this week and not in ketosis - another lb down!

Hi everyone
I've been absent for a few days while I've hung my head in shame! I've blown it big time - I'm supposed to be on the 810 plan and I was doing ok, before I decided to add a bit of this and then a bit of that, and then just a few sweets, and then a chocolate bar! ARGHGH! Why do I do it? I've also got a horrible cold and am feeling quite sorry for myself - losing this weight is going to take forever if I don't behave. Anyway, enough moaning! Have a good day - today's a NEW day :sigh:

Hi Mandy,
Don't dwell on it. Think about how you feel so guilty now and how eating those things haven't made you happier and that getting slim will! Think about these things each time you are tempted to cheat. Also take a look at the before and after pics section-that really helps to keep me on track.
You can do it! Draw a line under it and move on to the next day!
