Dearest Friends,
These past few weeks have been an amazingly insightful and constructive journey in my life as far as health, diet and nutrition are concerned and the credit truly goes to each and everyone of you.
I cannot IMAGINE another forum such as the Cambridge Diet Forum, where the friends are SO supportive, encouraging, inspiring, selfless and kind with their words of wisdom, love, encouragement and support for people they might have never met before. I honestly and dearly wish that the world at large could mirror and reflect a few of these attributes between strangers, nations and races and there would be no place for anger, hatred or competition.
I have wanted to start CD since the past six months, however, I know I wasn't mentally ready to give it my all! However a couple of months ago I did start with almost 4 stone to go till goal (from 13st 1 to 9st 1) and was able to hold on with a couple of blips in between.
The most momentous part of my weight loss journey was when I heard of this forum through an email I had received a while ago and since then, this has been my Bible. I have wanted to post and have had many queries since then and many moments of weakness but there was no reason to post because almost EVERYTHING had already been asked and discussed and so I just kept reading and reading and reading and I cannot begin to explain the world of difference it has made to me and my will power to continue.
I know all of you by name and I almost feel I know you much more than that from your interactions and your experiences and it has been overwhelming to find so many friends. In less than two months, I am now 1st 5 lb away from target ( I honestly don't know how) and I truly want to thank you all SOOOOO much for being there in ways you never knew existed.
I hope to start the 790 program next week, and then move up to 1000 calories as my BMI is below 25 now (I read it on a thread, my counsellor didn't tell me that) but I just had a blip last night again!! The tummy is rumbling away but I will definitely not give in, not again, not when I am so close to goal.
I read somewhere in Icemoose's reply to someone once (just paraphrasing) that when you do this diet and STICK to it, your will power will reach heights and depths that you never knew existed! And I absolutely LOVE this phrase and I believe in it and use it in every aspect of my life! Truly helps one to strive towards perfection!!
Thank you all for reading, thank you for listening and please accept my humble gratitude for being a pillar of strength to whoever has needed it at any time and all the time! I am sure I speak on behalf of so many others who have derived their perseverance and strength from your kind words and love.
Lots of love,
Fairy
